Vishnu's Couch is pleased to present:
Poetry Night
Friday, July 20th at 8:00pm

Featuring the poetry of 
Thomas Grey
Come enjoy Thomas' illuminating, intelligent, poignant and emotional poetry, and optionally, bring one or two of your original or favorite poems to share.

In the words of Goethe:  "Every day we should hear at least one little song, read one good poem, see one exquisite picture, and, if possible, speak a few sensible words."

61 Prospect Ave. 4th Floor
Binghamton, NY 13901

What disturbs us, makes us cringe or shudder
also has the potential to make us think deeply about what we value,
giving us the opportunity to reevaluate our ideas about ourselves and the world.

Vishnu's Couch Yoga Studio presents
Group Meditation and Satsang Retreat 
Sunday, July 22nd
from 1:00pm - 6:00pm.
at
61 Prospect Ave. 4th Floor
Binghamton, NY 13901

Meditation is the most effective means for significant beneficial change in our lives and in the world, simply because it facilitates access to the deeper layers of our true Self--the source of our being.  And since practicing in groups significantly increases the effects, please take advantage of this opportunity to dive deeper and marinate longer in the blissful silence of meditation.

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

Join-in at any time;
 stay for as long as you would like and
 invite your friends along; the more the merrier!

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.
