WEEK OF APRIL 22, 2024

NO RESTORATIVE YOGA WITH MARIAN THIS WEEK

Class will resume next week

March - May schedule

Mondays 5:30-6:30 PM

No classes on April 8 and 22

Drop in: $10

This class provides a safe space to be still, downshifting the nervous system and cultivating a journey inward. We begin with gentle somatic movement, followed by a sequence of Restorative Yoga poses that support our body and allow the mind to be quiet. Using breath awareness, we feel sensations that are present, which provides the opportunity to connect to the wisdom and life-force that resides within.

READ8ING THE GOSPELOF SRI RAMAKRISHNA

On Tuesday at 7 to 9 pm

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.

NO YOGA WITH MARGARET FILCHAK DUE TO THE ZEN RETREAT

NO SUNDAY CIRCLE OF SILENCE DUE TO THE ZEN RETREAT

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.

DEATH CAFE WITH MARIE FERRARO

On Thursday, May 16, 2024

from 7 to 8:30

A Death Cafe is a group directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives or themes. It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counseling group.

The objective of a Death Cafe is 'to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives'. When we acknowledge that we are going to die, it falls back on ourselves to ask the question, 'In the limited time that I have, what is important for me to do?'.

Join us for an open, nurturing, safe and supportive conversation around death and dying, grief and all that surrounds these deeply meaningful topics. We invite and encourage differing views and beliefs, questions and curiosities. Space will be held, community will be cultivated and listening will be active.

Each Cafe discussion will be different, but discussions often center around subjects such as how does death effect life, advance directive planning, physician assisted dying, care of the elderly, funeral arrangement, fears around illness and death and what happens after death.

Death Cafe is a global not for profit entity. If you want to know more about death Cafe follow the link below.

Donations will be accepted to cover space and cake.
