The world is facing some huge problems. There's a lot of talk about how to solve them. But talk doesn't reduce pollution, or grow food, or heal the sick. That takes doing. This film is the story about a group of doers, the elegantly simple inventions they have made to change the lives of billions of people, and the unconventional billionaire spearheading the project..
:) happy....Hope  to see you there.


The Surrender Experiment  
Announcing a new Meditation/Book Club 
Led by our own Matt LaBarre

This Book Club will focus for Eight Weeks on 
The Surrender Experiment: My Journey into Life's Perfection 
by Michael A. Singer, author of The Untethered Soul.
at
Vishnu's Couch Yoga Studio
61 Prospect Ave. 4th floor.

Starting Sunday October 11th, 
and every Sunday for the next 8 weeks 
from 1:00 - 3:00pm (or later)

The format for the Book Club is as follows:

  • At 1:00pm after a short instruction/focus to incorporate some simple but advanced meditation tips to support our physical and mental bodies we will meditate for 1 hour listening to the audiobook.
      
  • Followed by 1 hour satsang (group sharing/discussion) on meditation and/or the audiobook which I will guide and facilitate. We will also use some techniques of sharing that will open our hearts and allow us to speak and listen from our deeper self.  NO PRESSURE to share or participate. You are welcome to just come and be and stay or leave.       
  • At 3:00pm we will end discussion and we will move from the meditation area to kitchen/dining and can stay for food and further conversation if desired.  Vegetarian food/snacks are welcomed to be brought to share during the optional time after discussion, but bringing something is not required to stay. 

A copy of the book is recommended for personal study/enjoyment but is also not required. I have contacted publisher about doing a bulk order and will provide details to those who RSVP.  With that said please RSVP if possible. This too is not required but can help us to plan better. This is also a great way to set an intention to come. There is additionally the thought to read The Untethered Soul in free time and keep The Surrender Experiment to the group. Again this is just a thought. If appeals to you go for it!

Raja Yoga Class and Satsang
Raja Yoga is the royal yoga that brings the nature of our True Self to our awareness.  This awareness cannot be gained through perception or intellectual knowledge, it can only be known through cognition, like the knowledge that I am, that I exist, it needs no proof, but without this knowing, experience remains limited and misunderstood.  Come join us as we explore our True Self through:  
Silence, Meditation, Breathing, and gentle relaxing Postures.

at the Indian Community Center (ICC) building
1595 Route 26, Vestal NY

-----------Upcoming Events----------





GONG BATH SOUND HEALING PERFORMANCE 
Wednesday, October 21st at 7:00 to 8:00 pm 
Suggested Offering: $15-$20
Gong-Master, Jeff Gregory,  will be at The Endicott Visitors Center.
 Join us for an evening in Sacred & Healing Sound.  

Experience  the  resonating  sounds  of  the  Gong  and  Crystal  Singing  Pyramids  and  Bowls  that  induce  a  state  of spontaneous  meditation  and  relaxation.    These  effects  promote  vitality,  healing,  and  open  the  consciousness  for transformation.  

Listeners often experience a sense of connectedness and peace as the sacred sound of the Gongs and Crystal clear blockages and restore the free flow of vital energy throughout the body.  With its ability to induce a spontaneous meditative state, the gong offers listeners access to parts of the mind that are usually closed, resulting in a sense of expanded awareness and higher consciousness. Sound Healing is often used to re-balance, tone and bring harmony to the physical, emotional and spiritual bodies.   

This hour-long session is sure to be an experience  you will never forget!  A Gong Bath provides an excellent therapy for stress related issues, depression, fatigue, anger & hostility, feelings of fear, separation and loneliness, along with many other conditions related to the lack of balance & harmony in the body.
