Deepen your understanding of the Hindu deities and cosmology as they relate to the issues of life in the Big, Bad, City.Begin to see all expressions of the divine as ONE under God's umbrella.
Every civilization operates from an archetypal mythos that serves as an operating manual for life in the fast lane. Nowhere is this more readily apparent than Hinduism. Think of Vishnu, the Sustainer, or rather, the Container; Brahma is born from a lotus at his navel, Shiva from a massive beanstalk just next door, Krishna and Rama are but two of His ten earthly avatars. Meanwhile, the Tridevi are the expression of a universal, feminine and innermost soul as it relates to the outward expression of that soul. Thus ALL mortal attributes are too, too divine.
Mythology is the psychology of antiquity; Psychology is the mythologyof modernity. -- James Hillman

This workshop is a day to explore Bhakti Yoga. Bhakti is the yoga of devotion where each part of our practice allows us to access our natural state, Yoga. In this state we are LOVE. This love is offered through the repetition of mantras, the reading and telling of the great stories about the incarnations of the Lord of Love and of His love-inspired devotees, and by creating and nurturing a community of the holy and like-minded. These expressions are the foundation of kirtan, the ecstatic, soulful and celebratory call-and-response singing of divine songs. You will learn basic harmonium skills, be introduced to the meanings, stories and sweet subtleties behind the magic of mantra, and you will have lots of opportunity to practice chanting and also lead kirtan. Come together to blossom your heart.

This advanced-level "Anatomy & Introduction to Injuries" weekend workshop intertwines a foundational understanding of "How the body works," with an introduction to "How the body hurts."
It begins with an in-depth review of the anatomical, physiological & biomechanical principles governing every body, solidifying your understanding of "what is a nerve", "what is a muscle," "what is a bone." We then introduce pathological principles governing every body ("pathology" is the "study" (Greek, logos) of "suffering" (Greek, pathos)), discussing general conditions (e.g. osteoporosis, nerve pain, tendonitis & arthritis), along with therapeutic principles (e.g. decrease load). In hands-on, small groups we further apply this knowledge to specific regions of the body: Saturday starts with the Back, Abdomen & Thorax.
