NOURISH AND BE STILL WITH MARIAN KRIZMAN
On Monday nights from 5-6 p.m
In a culture that places value on “doing”, a state of chronic stress leads to dis-ease. This restorative yoga practice teaches us patience and to be fully present while calming the nervous system and releasing tension built up in the connective tissue. With consistent practice, stress is reduced. Be Still and Be Nourished will leave you feeling rejuvenated. Please bring warm socks, a sweater and any other personal props. Sacred Waters has props available for use.

On the second Thursday at 7 p.m
Diane Winn will lead us in an evening of chanting, drumming and sharing as women gather to support one another.

This group is for those who wish to deepen their understanding of the philosophy of /Hinduism by studying the original texts of the Upanishads.

TBA, Kirtan is a listening and interactive sound healing experience. Using call and response chanting withomi easy, repetitive melodies and joyous danceable rhythms, the songs are sung in the ancient languages of world religions. They set free the chattering mind, deepen the breath, and create a state of calm, where the eternal love that lies in each heart can unfold and open. All ages and faith traditions welcome. Bring a cushion for floor sitting or sit in our chairs. Love Donation. For more information see http://yogachant.org

READING THE GOSPEL OF SRI RAMAKRISHNA
On the 4th Tuesday from 7 – 8:30 p.m.
Live and on Zoom
Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/5250341041?pwd=c1RTTHZib3orT0wyNkJvSmJweExsQT09
Andrew Harvey once said that if he could take only one book to a deserted island “The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna” would be his choice. The book is written in dialogue form detailing the conversations Ramakrishna had with people that came to see him. It records his moods, his songs, his humor and gives one a sense of what it would be like to be in the presence of a Divine Incarnation. Using wonderful analogies, Ramakrishna discusses some of the most profound spiritual topics and his own spiritual experiences. We will stop often for discussion and sharing. I will have extra copies for everyone.

SUNDAY CIRCLE OF SILENCE
On Sundays from 11 a.m. to noon.
Do you feel stressed and unable to find time to just Be? Do you find it difficult to meditate at home with so many distractions? Come join us on Sunday mornings. According to the great mystic Meister Eckhart: “Wherever this Word (of God) is to be heard, it must occur in stillness and Silence. We cannot be of greater service to this Word than through stillness and silence. There we can hear and understand it correctly.” Sermon 18. We will begin the hour with 20 minutes of silent meditation. We will then do a 5 minute silent walking meditation followed by another 20 minutes of silence.
