A Beautiful Mind is a film that shows it is possible to integrate our "dark side" as opposed to trying to destroying it so that we can live in harmony with the world.  The mind is a powerful tool capable of producing both positive or negative effects.  John Nash the protagonist is challenged with a mental disorder in which his mind creates people and situations which seamlessly integrate with his normal perceptions, but which no one else sees.  This movie is a biographical adaptation of the life of economics Nobel Laureate John Nash who, on his own, successfully figured out how to manage this disorder.  A must see movie!
Hope to see you there!  ☺

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.

Maria was born in Romania, moved to the US when she was nineteen and lives on the south side of Binghamton with her husband and three children.  She is in the process of becoming a certified facilitator on the Work of Byron Katie.

 The workshop is for people who want to forgive and don't know how.  The Work of Byron Katie is a simple technique, based on four questions and some turnarounds, that teaches us how to forgive and gives us the peace to know when we've succeeded.
What is Forgiveness?
What does it mean to forgive?
How do I do it?
How do I know that I have forgiven?

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.

Group Meditation and Satsang Retreat

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.
