However\, Self love is difficult to understand\, often misunderstood as selfishness which alienate and exclude the other\, be it humans\, animals or the world of nature.

SUMMARY:ONLINE Art of Processing Emotions (2 days)
DESCRIPTION:Two workshops with Swami SivasankarianandaTuesday and Wednesday\, 2:30–4:00pm \nWithin all of us is a silent language that reveals the truth of our thoughts\, feelings and emotions far more eloquently than words. That language is imagery\, the body and mind’s primary means of inner communication. We tap a deeper wisdom\, non-verbal and uncluttered\, more accurate than words. Unattended thoughts can hijack feelings and create stress. Access and express emotions and feelings\, bypassing the inner critic. Feelings reveal needs. Be quiet. Take time to listen. The body never lies. This is not about technique\, it is a very personal form of self-exploration. You may be surprised to see how easy it is. Say yes to the adventure. See yourself and others in a new way. Uncover hope and possibility. Enjoy community support. Release your stresses and see what your inner imagery has to teach you about yourself. The healing process does not depend on artistic ability or experience. Mature children welcome. \nCollect whatever supplies you have:colored papermagazines you don’t mind cutting up (or junk mail)fabric scrapsfound objectsmarkerscrayonspencilspaintscissorsgluepaper or board  \n  \nRegister\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *Email *Phone *How did you hear about us? *How will you attend? *In personOnlineDonation *Cultivate Virtues - $30Cultivate Virtues (sliding scale) - $25WebsiteSubmit

We aren’t simply an isolated collection of atoms and molecules\, but are an inseparable part of the infinite field of intelligence. From this holistic perspective\, health isn’t merely the absence of illness or symptoms ― it is a higher state of consciousness that allows vitality\, well-being\, creativity\, and joy to flow into our experience. In contrast\, illness is a disruption ― a blockage in the flow of energy and information that creates a sense of separation or alienation from the field. Symptoms and sickness are the body’s signal that we need to restore balance\, eliminate whatever is causing the blockages\, and reestablish the healthy flow of energy and information. Detoxification and Purification is the best way to attain such refinement. \n\n\n\nDate & Pricing Details\n\n\n\n– Friday\, September 4 – Monday\, September 7\, 2020– $150–250 sliding scale– Individual sessions also available– Recordings are included with the conference \n\n\n\nTeachers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Suhas KshirsagarDr. Suhas Kshirsagar is a classically trained Ayurvedic physician and a gold medalist from prestigious Pune University.

SUMMARY:ONLINE Forgiveness with Fred Luskin\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:ONLINE. Zoom link will be sent to registrants at least one hour before the program starts.  \n“If you don’t have a sense that you exist in a community\, then resilience is really hard. It’s just you against the world.”—Fred Luskin\, PhD \n“Holding people accountable for their actions is not the same as blaming them for how you feel.” \nIt is now time to heal your grievances. Forgiveness is needed to help heal divided and embittered societies as well as hurtful situations between family and friends—for the longterm. Forgiveness relieves stress and increases energy and vitality. Release anger. Learn to tell a different story\, one that allows you a degree of peace and a renewed sense of hope. Healing and emotional growth are possible. You have little to lose and so much to gain. \nDr. Frederic Luskin is a Senior Consultant in Health Promotion and the Director of the Stanford Forgiveness Projects. He speaks nationally on the importance of emotional intelligence and the need to manage stress. His research centers on the intersection of spiritual values and physical and emotional well-being. \n \nRegister\n \n\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLastEmail *Phone *Fred Luskin 8/14 *Workshop - $25Workshop (sliding scale) - $20Workshop (sliding scale) - $15Total$0.00EmailSubmit  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLastEmail *Phone *Fred Luskin 8/14 *Workshop – $25Workshop (sliding scale) – $20Workshop (sliding scale) – $15Total$0.00WebsiteSubmit

It reveals that everything in this universe is non-separate from a single conscious\, all-knowing and all pervasive being\, Īśvara. What ramifications might this teaching have for our daily lives\, especially in contemporary times\, marked by global pandemic and domestic unrest? How can we harness the powerful vision of the Upanishads to grow spiritually and abide in the glory of the self? These and other questions will be addressed in the two talks on this subject. \n\n\n\nEnhanced Rashi Analysis using the Puranic Histories of the NakshatrasBill Sinclair \n\n\n\nThe Rishis\, in their wisdom\, chose to convey essential information about each of the Nakshatras in the form of oral histories. Through careful study and analysis we can gain deeper understanding of the impulse behind the natal planets in a chart and the goals of the Rashis themselves. We will trace the histories though each of the 27 nakshatras and draw links to the common traits and symbols that are commonly known for each Nakshatra. \n\n\n\nTeachers\n\n\n\n\nDr. David Frawley D.

Right now the Earth needs our compassionate and immediate action. She is asking us for our active hope and an open heart to begin to model a lifestyle that proves all life is sacred\, one of yoga’s founding principles. Therefore it is our dharma\, our duty\, to create and maintain a life of harmony inside and out.___Workshop – Overcoming the Negative Effects of Artificial Living There has never been a time in our human evolution where we have fallen so deeply into an artificial life. Industry and technology have perpetuated our separation from where we were first born\, Mother Nature. A recent study showed that the average person in a developed country spends 93% of the day inside (home\, office\, car\, etc). This forced separation from the natural world is leaving us stressed\, diseased\, isolated\, and numb.  During this workshop we will take a good look at the current Techno-addiction and learn simple tips to limit screen time and begin to live your life more fully.___EcoYoga in Daily Life – When you realize the true state of the world today and all its species\, it is easy to feel overwhelmed and at a loss as to how to help the yourself\, community\, and planet at whole. This inspiring workshop is designed to help you create a daily routine that not only benefits your wellbeing but also your relationship with the planet. Join in to learn simple lifestyle tips to live more aligned with Dharma and your unique purpose in the web of life.____Climate Change & Peace from Vaastu Shastra point of view – It is said that if we design and build structures not aligned with Nature’s grid of energy then we actually create dissonance not only in Nature of the Earth but also in the Cosmic Grid of Energy. \n\n\n\nTeachers\n\n\n\n\nSwami SitaramanandaSwami Sitaramananda is a senior acharya of the International Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centers and is director of the Sivananda Yoga Farm\, California and the Sivananda Yoga Resort and Training Center\, Vietnam.  She is acharya of China\, Taiwan\, and Japan as well.

SUMMARY:ONLINE Resilience with Fred Luskin\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:  \nONLINE. Zoom link will be sent to registrants at least one hour before the program starts.  \n“If you don’t have a sense that you exist in a community\, then resilience is really hard. It’s just you against the world.”—Fred Luskin\, PhD \n“The brain needs calm to be able to think\, evaluate options\, weigh decisions\, recover\, plan and all sorts of things\,” Luskin says. Especially in our tech-driven world\, “that’s missing from [how] a lot of people do their day.” \nGenuine connection to community and to our inner Self are essential components of life both in and out of quarantine. We expand. Both open us to possibility and selflessness. We cooperate with things as they are. \nThe essence of forgiveness is the ability to be resilient when things don’t go our way. It is a unitary experience of objecting to the way life is and trying to substitute the way you want it to be. Then we get upset that our substitution doesn’t take. Be at peace with what is. Give the next moment a chance. \nDr. Frederic Luskin is a Senior Consultant in Health Promotion and the Director of the Stanford Forgiveness Projects. He speaks nationally on the importance of emotional intelligence and the need to manage stress. His research centers on the intersection of spiritual values and physical and emotional well-being. \n  \nRegister\n  \n\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLastEmail *Phone *Fred Luskin 8/14 *Workshop - $25Workshop (sliding scale) - $20Workshop (sliding scale) - $15Total$0.00NameSubmit  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLastEmail *Phone *Fred Luskin 8/14 *Workshop – $25Workshop (sliding scale) – $20Workshop (sliding scale) – $15Total$0.00EmailSubmit

SUMMARY:ONLINE Pranayama Course (5 days)
DESCRIPTION: \n5 daily sessions\, 5:30–7:00pmMonday\, May 4 to Saturday\, May 9\, skipping Thursday\nThis course is inspired by our 30-Day Pranayama Challenge on Instagram Live. Prana is the universal principle of energy or force. “Whatever moves or works or has life\, is but an expression or manifestation of prana.” Breath is the external manifestation of prana. With the regular practice of pranayama—or controlling prana—you can store this energy in your brain and nerve plexi. You need an abundance of prana to be healthy and strong. Hatha Yoga has developed this to a science. In this course\, we will introduce and practice kapalabhati and anuloma viloma (alternate nostril breathing)\, in addition to sun salutations and relaxation. Join our Instagram Live Pranayama Challenge at 8:00am for support continuing this essential practice for mental stability and a strong immune system! \n \nCurriculum\n\nLearn a safe practice you can do daily\, building up the number of rounds at your own pace.\nBalance and calm the mind.\nTone your body\, internal organs and digestion.\nWe will look at classic sitting positions\, kriyas and anatomy of breathing.\nBuild your awareness of energy\, while consciously building\, storing\, purifying and chanelling prana.\n\nSwami Sivananda says\, “A Pranayama practitioner will have a light body free from disease\, very fair complexion\, a sweet melodious voice\, and pleasant smell from his body. He will have good appetite\, cheerfulness\, a handsome figure\, good strength\,  courage\, enthusiasm\, a high standard of health\, vigor and vitality\, and good concentration of mind.” The practice is easy and the benefits immediate. Cultivate the discipline\, with the encouragement of the group practice. \n___________________________________________________________________________________ \nRegister\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLastEmail *Phone *AddressAddress Line 1Address Line 2CityState / Province / RegionPostal Code--- Select country ---AfghanistanAlbaniaAlgeriaAmerican SamoaAndorraAngolaAnguillaAntarcticaAntigua and BarbudaArgentinaArmeniaArubaAustraliaAustriaAzerbaijanBahamasBahrainBangladeshBarbadosBelarusBelgiumBelizeBeninBermudaBhutanBolivia (Plurinational State of)Bonaire\, Saint Eustatius and SabaBosnia and HerzegovinaBotswanaBouvet IslandBrazilBritish Indian Ocean TerritoryBrunei DarussalamBulgariaBurkina FasoBurundiCabo VerdeCambodiaCameroonCanadaCayman IslandsCentral African RepublicChadChileChinaChristmas IslandCocos (Keeling) IslandsColombiaComorosCongoCongo (Democratic Republic of the)Cook IslandsCosta RicaCroatiaCubaCuraçaoCyprusCzech RepublicCôte d'IvoireDenmarkDjiboutiDominicaDominican RepublicEcuadorEgyptEl SalvadorEquatorial GuineaEritreaEstoniaEswatini (Kingdom of)EthiopiaFalkland Islands (Malvinas)Faroe IslandsFijiFinlandFranceFrench GuianaFrench PolynesiaFrench Southern TerritoriesGabonGambiaGeorgiaGermanyGhanaGibraltarGreeceGreenlandGrenadaGuadeloupeGuamGuatemalaGuernseyGuineaGuinea-BissauGuyanaHaitiHeard Island and McDonald IslandsHondurasHong KongHungaryIcelandIndiaIndonesiaIran (Islamic Republic of)IraqIreland (Republic of)Isle of ManIsraelItalyJamaicaJapanJerseyJordanKazakhstanKenyaKiribatiKorea (Democratic People's Republic of)Korea (Republic of)KosovoKuwaitKyrgyzstanLao People's Democratic RepublicLatviaLebanonLesothoLiberiaLibyaLiechtensteinLithuaniaLuxembourgMacaoMadagascarMalawiMalaysiaMaldivesMaliMaltaMarshall IslandsMartiniqueMauritaniaMauritiusMayotteMexicoMicronesia (Federated States of)Moldova (Republic of)MonacoMongoliaMontenegroMontserratMoroccoMozambiqueMyanmarNamibiaNauruNepalNetherlandsNew CaledoniaNew ZealandNicaraguaNigerNigeriaNiueNorfolk IslandNorth Macedonia (Republic of)Northern Mariana IslandsNorwayOmanPakistanPalauPalestine (State of)PanamaPapua New GuineaParaguayPeruPhilippinesPitcairnPolandPortugalPuerto RicoQatarRomaniaRussian FederationRwandaRéunionSaint BarthélemySaint Helena\, Ascension and Tristan da CunhaSaint Kitts and NevisSaint LuciaSaint Martin (French part)Saint Pierre and MiquelonSaint Vincent and the GrenadinesSamoaSan MarinoSao Tome and PrincipeSaudi ArabiaSenegalSerbiaSeychellesSierra LeoneSingaporeSint Maarten (Dutch part)SlovakiaSloveniaSolomon IslandsSomaliaSouth AfricaSouth Georgia and the South Sandwich IslandsSouth SudanSpainSri LankaSudanSurinameSvalbard and Jan MayenSwedenSwitzerlandSyrian Arab RepublicTaiwan\, Republic of ChinaTajikistanTanzania (United Republic of)ThailandTimor-LesteTogoTokelauTongaTrinidad and TobagoTunisiaTurkmenistanTurks and Caicos IslandsTuvaluTürkiyeUgandaUkraineUnited Arab EmiratesUnited Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern IrelandUnited States Minor Outlying IslandsUnited States of AmericaUruguayUzbekistanVanuatuVatican City StateVenezuela (Bolivarian Republic of)VietnamVirgin Islands (British)Virgin Islands (U.S.)Wallis and FutunaWestern SaharaYemenZambiaZimbabweÅland IslandsCountryPranayama 1 Course Registration *5-session course - $150.00How will you attend? *in persononlineStripe Credit Card *NameSubmit
