Vishnu's Couch is pleased to offer a
Zen Calligraphy Workshop
Friday, September 28th, at 8:00 pm
at Vishnu's Couch
61 Prospect Ave., Binghamton

The Zen style of calligraphy calls for the calligrapher to first commune with one's Higher Self or Spirit, through silence or meditation, then allow this communion to express itself in the drawing.  We will do a brief 10 minute meditation before putting brush and ink to paper and letting Spirit manifest as it wishes.     

Brushes, ink, paper, and soup du jour provided.  Come unleash some of your hidden creativity and have some good clean fun!
Hope to see you there!

-----------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.

Group Meditation and Satsang Retreat

From 1:00 - 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
