In the first episode, you are invited aboard the Ship of the Imagination. It's a sleek vessel that allows Tyson and the viewer to go anywhere: from the edge of the universe to the nucleus of an atom. It's a fantastic way to get to the places that Tyson is describing in the narration.

The cinematography is jaw dropping. 3D renderings of galaxies, nebulae, asteroid fields, atoms, storms on Jupiter, etc are scattered throughout each show...and they look 100% real. There are moments where animated cartoons are used, usually representing a story about past scientists or philosophers...I thought the cartoon animations would detract from the shows grandeur, but that doesn't seem to be the case - the animations are beautiful and tasteful.
:) happy....Hope  to see you there.

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.

-----------Upcoming Events----------




GONG BATH SOUND HEALING PERFORMANCE 
Saturday, January 23rd
 from 7:00 to 8:00 pm 
at 
The Calm Center
3215 East Main St., Endwell, NY 13760
Suggested Offering: $15


Listeners often experience a sense of connectedness and peace as the sacred sounds of the Gongs and Bowls clear blockages and restore the free flow of vital energy throughout the body.  With its ability to induce a spontaneous meditative state, the gong offers listeners access to parts of the mind that are usually closed, resulting in a sense of expanded awareness and higher consciousness.  

Sound Healing is often used to rebalance, tone and bring harmony to the physical, emotional and spiritual bodies.  If you would like to lay down, bring something comfortable to lay on. ( Mats, pillows, blankets) And let the Gongs take you away! Please make sure you are grounded before leaving, and be sure to drink water after the session.

Mantra Magic

“Mantra Magic” is a world-music blend of Eastern and Western instruments that feature ancient sacred mantras in a modern setting. The band’s concerts are a spiritual experience in which uplifting music is infused with healing vibrations of the ancient language of Sanskrit, which was designed to harmonize with and energize the body on the physical and astral planes. The full 5-piece band instrumentation is tabla, guitar, acoustic bass, harmonium and 3 voices (one male, two female).
