BREATHE into life

Greetings all! My name is Simone and I am currently enrolled in the Yoga On High 9-month Pranayama certification course. Pranayama has been source of both physical and psychological healing in my life. Prana refers to a basic, universal, all-pervading life force energy long recognized by eastern thought, which is now being more fully appreciated and studied by western science. Yoga practitioners all over the centuries have found that practicing pranayama or Yogic breath we can access this energy, harness and utilize its power. Yoga Breath is thus a wonderful key to good health, longevity and it is also a superb lead-in to meditation.

Please join me Wednesdays at 7PM (free/by donation) for a practical, step-by-step explanations about the practice of basic yoga breathing techniques.  No class, Wednesday 5/20.

Wake Up Sangha - Meditation and Dharma Sharing

Our monthly Sangha meetings consist of sitting meditation, walking meditation, a reading, and sharing from the heart.

Wake Up is an active global community of led by young mindfulness practitioners, aged 18-35, and inspired by the teachings of Zen teacher and peace activist Thich Nhat Hanh. We come together to practice awareness in order to take care of ourselves, nourish happiness, and contribute to building a healthier and a more compassionate society. All ages are welcome at our gatherings. 

"To love, in the context of Buddhism, is above all to be there. But being there is not an easy thing. Some training is necessary, some practice. If you are not there, how can you love? Being there is very much an art, the art of meditation, because meditating is bringing your true presence to the here and now. The question that arises is: Do you have time to love?" -Thich Naht Hanh (1997)

Sunday, May 17th, 7:30-9:30pm
Oma Trance: Goddess Tara

This is an invitation to a shamanistic trance session at It Looks like Its Open (ILLIO) on May 17th. We will do the Singing Shaman to open the door and then a Goddess Tara trance in which we will invoke the Goddess Tara (green Tara) who is a female Buddha of compassion. She is a fierce goddess who overcomes obstacles and saves us from physical and spiritual danger. She gives boons, protection, and helps clear up illusion. Come with an issue or question for the Goddess.

These trances are in the tradition of Felicitas D. Goodman www.cuyamungueinstitute.com/ . Here is a YouTube video about Dr. Goodman’s work.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goljLz5sj_o The trances will be facilitated by Susan Josephson, Felicitas Goodman’s daughter, who has lead people in these trances for more than 30 years.

Guided by postures adapted from a variety of sources and driven by a rattle sounded at a particular tempo and rhythm, participants often have visions with personal significance. The trances wake people up. They release deeper levels of consciousness and open people to deeper understandings. Doing the trance is also good for your nervous system.

*Instructions for participation: Please arrive on time, the door will be closed at 7:45 so that the session can begin without interruption. Fasting will enhance the experience, but is not required. For best results, do not eat at least 30 minutes prior to the session. Avoid alcohol throughout the day. Wear loose-fitting clothing and avoid wearing metal.

*Young adults / teens welcome.

*Susan does not accept payment for this work, but if you'd like you may support the use and maintenance of the studio space with a small contribution.
