Friday, November 29th, 2013

6:30 PM – 7:30 PM Book Signing – “The Matrix of Yoga” by Georg and Brenda Feuerstein (copies will be available)

8 PM – 9 PM Yoga Nidra – Yoga Sleep/Yoga Nidra is a deep yogic relaxation for deep transformation. The term Yoga Sleep is applied to a particular yogic practice and the state of deep relaxation it promotes. As a practice, Yoga Sleep can be defined as systematic psychosomatic relaxation by means of visualization and passive aural receptivity. In other words, this technique employs the mind’s innate imaginative capacity in order to achieve both physical and mental relaxation and it uses the sense of hearing (evolutionary, one of the oldest senses) to receive highly selective stimuli.. Thus, Yoga Sleep requires an outside source of “input,” such as an actual person quietly guiding the visualization process or an electronic recording giving the same directions. It is not possible to practice Yoga Sleep on one’s own, which is the major difference between it and meditation. – $25 plus GST

Saturday, November 30th

9 PM – 11 AM – The Practice Of Love – A unique offering of a gentle and loving approach to self inquiry, asana, pranayama and mantra recitation. All levels of experience welcome. – $30 plus GST

2 PM – 5 PM – The Yoga of Living – This workshop will focus on the first two limbs of Yoga – the yamas and niyamas – which are ethical precepts that encourage us to view our relationships to others and towards ourselves. We will explore how to integrate them into all aspects of our lives through self-inquiry, dicussion and journaling. – $65 plus GST

7 PM – 8:30 PM – Talk about the Georg Feuerstein’s Memorial Fund – Freedom Program which brings Yoga philosophy courses and meditation programs to people who are incarcerated, in addiction recovery programs and all support staff, as well as the upcoming Free to Love youth initiative. Learn about the programs and how you can become involved in positive change in your community. Free Talk. Donations for the projects are accepted.

Sunday, December 1st

9 AM – 12 AM – Mindfulness Meditation Mini Retreat – Mindfulness Meditation Retreat introduces practices that help us acheive deeper levels of insight into who and what we are, while promoting peace in our daily lives. By focusing moment-to-moment awareness on body sensations, feelings and thoughts, we begin to experience for ourselves the impermanence of all conditioned phenomena. Minfulness meditation, and the greater wisdome and equanimity it brings, helps us to relate to life with less fear and clinging. – $40 plus GST

Brenda is open to private consultations in the afternoon for anyone who is interested in dicussing their spiritual practice or are looking at forming spiritually based community projects. Donation based.
