Join our community of like-minded individuals for a free viewing of Inner Worlds, Outer Worlds – Part 3 & 4 followed by an in-depth conversation and gong meditation.

Inner Worlds, Outer Worlds – Part 3 – The Serpent and the Lotus

The spiral has often been represented by the snake, the downward current, while the bird or blooming lotus flower has represented the upward current or transcendence. The ancient traditions taught that a human being can become a bridge extending from the outer to the inner, from gross to subtle, from the lower chakras to the higher chakras.

Inner Worlds, Outer Worlds – Part 4 – Beyond Thinking

We live our lives pursuing happiness and freedom “out there” as if it is a commodity. We have become slaves to our own desires and craving. This is Maya, illusion, the endless play of form. It is not wrong to desire to be awake, to be happy, but we must come to realize that it can not be found outside of us.

The Awaken The World Initiative creates films for the awakening of human consciousness, available for free in over 35 languages. Please visit www.awakentheworld.com for more information.

INSTRUCTOR BIOS:
Jenny Schulder Brant is an Certified Ayurveda Health Counselor, Yoga teacher and artist. She studied Ayurveda at Kripalu and is certified through the National Ayurvedic Medical Association (NAMA). She a certified yoga teacher (YT200) with Briala Silva. Her focus is on teaching food as medicine and on helping to build a community in which health and quality of life are valued most; one where we understand that the health of our own bodies and minds directly connect to the health of our communities and the world.
Roberta Strickler is a Certified Ayurveda Health Counselor and has been teaching yoga, yoga as therapy, mindfulness meditation, and Ayurveda, in central Pennsylvania since 1995. She earned her first certificate as a yoga teacher from the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Lenox, MA, followed by 12 years studying Anusara Yoga (a Iyengar-based style of yoga known for its elegant language and therapeutic principles of alignment).
She sees the goal of yoga to be the relaxation of the body so the mind can be stilled for the practice of meditation. Key to aging, throughout the past ten years, her study has been focused on Yoga As Therapy ( with Doug Keller) and the practices of Ayurveda, an Eastern system of medicine that focuses on causes of dis-ease more so than clusters of symptoms.
Roberta studied Mindfulness Meditation with Jon Kabat-Zinn in 1998 and for 6 years worked on a team to present Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction at then-St Joseph Hospital in Lancaster. In that setting she also created and taught yoga for Breast Cancer Survivors, then broadened it to yoga and mindfulness for survivors of other cancers and cardiac events.
Her studies of Ayurveda (Yoga and Meditation are primary tools of Ayurveda) were inspired by the fine teachers at the Himalayan Institute in Honesdale, PA. She is certified as an Ayurveda Health Counselor by the Kripalu Center.
Ayurveda is a sister science to yoga. Wherein the goal of yoga is spiritual – to quiet the mind for meditation – Ayurveda is the science of health. Much like Chinese medicine, Ayurveda teaches a lifestyle that finds balance with nature and the self.
This approach to the integration of yoga, meditation and Ayurveda into issues of balance, physical rehabilitation, and well being, have dominated her private teaching throughout the past ten years.

Electrons Plus requires skin-to-skin contact in order to enact the healing process. Exposure will be necessary in order to target areas of discomfort. Your body will never be fully exposed, however, athletic clothing or easily accessible clothing is encouraged for easy treatment. Electrons Plus works and feels like a deep tissue massage. Participants are suggested to be hydrated before and after sessions.

Restorative Yoga (90 Minute)
2024-02-08 18:30 - 20:00 UTC
Crafted to combat the everyday stresses that take a toll on both mind and body. This meditative form of yoga is designed to bring tranquility, enhance balance, promote healing, and fortify your immune system. It’s all about easing the grip of stress.
Restorative yoga takes a gentle approach, focusing on breathwork and holding poses for longer durations. Picture a more laid-back, passive, and unhurried practice that allows your body tissues to take a well-deserved break and bounce back. The pace is deliberately slower, creating a space for both mind and body to unwind.
To add to the relaxation, props like blocks, straps, and bolsters may join the party, offering support to help you find that perfect, comfortable pose.
Why does it work so well? Restorative yoga teams up with the parasympathetic nervous system, the superhero of stress relief. With its slow poses and breathwork, it not only slows down the heart rate but also directs a flow of rejuvenating blood to your vital organs. It’s like hitting the reset button for your well-being!
DATE: Thursday, February 8, 2024
TIME: 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm
