So not just any talk is conversation; not just any talk raises consciousness.  Good conversation has an edge—it opens your eyes to something, quickens your ears.   And good conversation reverberates.  It keeps on talking in your mind later in the day.  Your mind has been moved.  That reverberation afterwards is the very raising of consciousness.  A conversation turns things around.

Total cost for the series is $300 ($50 per group)

if registration is received by September 20.

The Invitation of the Andean World

Love gives you wings.

It turns you into an eagle.

It allows you to see from high above,

And at the same time it makes your body humble…

Think of freedom.  Think of the infinite…

And also have humor—that laughter under the stars, that laughter by the sea.

Grasp the grandest emotions of life. 

This is the sense of humor that ought to be man’s future religion.

-Don Américo Yábar, from Joan Wilcox’s Masters of the Living Energy

How Remarkable Is This

A Weekend Intensive in Yoga for the Emotional Body

Led by Kenneth Robinson, M.S., M.T.S. and Linda Manning, Ph.D.

The heart is the center of the human microcosm…

the meeting place between the human and the celestial realms where the spirit resides,

the isthmus between this world and the next,

between the visible and invisible worlds,

between the human realm and the realm of the spirit,

between the horizontal and vertical dimensions of existence.

How remarkable is this reality of the heart, that mysterious center

which from the point of view of our earthly experience seems so small,

and yet, as the Prophet has said, it is the Throne of God the All-Merciful,

The Throne that encompasses the whole universe.

                                                    --Seyyed Hossein Nasr

August 13-15, 2010

When we practice hatha yoga regularly with awareness, inevitably there is a greater sense of flow and connection to our physical bodies.  Our work is yoga for the emotional body.  By supporting the flow of experience, Yoga for the Emotional Body helps us integrate our physical being both with our emotional lives and our spiritual principles.  This effort, along with a generous helping of grace, allows us to live with mindfulness, passion, compassion, and style.

Friday  7pm—9:00pm

Saturday  9am—5pm

Sunday  9am—5pm

Please bring sitting cushion, light lunch, and wear clothes suitable for movement.

Cost for the weekend is $300 ($325 after August 1).  To register, send $100

nonrefundable deposit payable to:

Match their rhythms one to another.

My sea, ebb, my sea.
