Everything in social studies teacher Eugene Simonet's life is in order--every shirt, every pencil, every person in its proper place.  To keep the surface placid means never having to go deeper. And no one and nothing in his life has ever asked him to.  Arlene McKinney is a single mother hanging on by her fingertips, working two jobs, and struggling to raise her son, Trevor. She is trying to give him a new life, but in her absence she is losing him.  Eugene gives Trevor's class an assignment: look at the world around you and fix what you don't like. But can you fix people?
Hope to see you there!  ☺

Vishnu's Couch Yoga Studio presents
Group Meditation and Satsang Retreat
Sunday, January 21st
from Noon - 6:00pm.
at
61 Prospect Ave. 4th Floor
Binghamton, NY 13901

Seeing that meditation is the most effective means for significant beneficial change in our lives and in the world, simply because it improves the functioning of our most important tool--the brain, and because it is the easiest to implement, we offer this opportunity to dive deeper and marinate longer in the blissful silence of meditation.

The day will consist mostly of sitting meditation punctuated by: 
rest, relaxation, sound meditation, pranayama, gentle asanas, Satsang, walking meditation, and a light vegan Soup-du-jour.  

Join in at any time and stay for as long as you would like.

Donations Welcomed

-----------Other Local Events---------




Raja Yoga 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, the 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 Cultural Center (ICC) building
1595 Route 26, Vestal NY

Sundays  8:30-10:00am

What is Dance Wave?   A space to move however your body wants to.
To go within. To be present. To play. To connect with others, without words.
To discover your truth. To find inner peace. To feel welcomed and wonderful!.  Let yourself be MOVED by a WAVE of great music from around the world: our music-wave builds from warm up to playful to energetic to exhilarating, then down again to sensual to meditative to deeply relaxing…  Whooosh!  We dance for 1 hour followed by an optional sharing circle.

Who: People who love to dance!  And people who want to find out if they do.  No experience or skill needed; doesn't matter what shape your body is in, or how old you are. All abilities, ages, backgrounds, races, religions, cultures, and sexual orientations welcome.

Payment by donation ($10 suggested, but pay what you can.).
