This is a story about clothing. It's about the clothes we wear, the people who make them, and the impact the industry is having on our world. The price of clothing has been decreasing for decades, while the human and environmental costs have grown dramatically.  The True Cost is a groundbreaking documentary film that pulls back the curtain on the untold story and asks us to consider, who really pays the price for our clothing? Filmed in countries all over the world, from the brightest runways to the darkest slums, and featuring interviews with the world's leading influencers including Stella McCartney, Livia Firth and Vandana Shiva, The True Cost is an unprecedented project that invites us on an eye opening journey around the world and into the lives of the many people and places behind our clothes. Written by Michael Ross.
:) happy....Hope  to see you there.


The Surrender Experiment (week 5 of 8) 
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.

Sunday Nov. 8th, 
and every Sunday for the next 3 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.
