In the year 2045, people can escape their harsh reality in the OASIS, an immersive virtual world where you can go anywhere, do anything, be anyone-the only limits are your own imagination. OASIS creator James Halliday left his immense fortune and control of the Oasis to the winner of a contest designed to find a worthy heir. When unlikely hero Wade Watts conquers the first challenge of the reality-bending treasure hunt, he and his friends-known as the High Five-are hurled into a fantastical universe of discovery and danger to save the OASIS and their world.

Hope to see you there!  ☺

From 1:00 - 6:00pm
at
61 Prospect Ave. 4th Floor

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.

-----------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
with Yogi Edmond

Drop-In Cost:  $15.00
or $40.00 / month

Speaker:  Edmond Cotton 
Topic:  The Real Choice!
"...Now must you choose between yourself and an illusion of yourself.  Not both, but one.  There is no point in trying to avoid this one decision.  It must be mad\e.  Faith and belief can fall to either side, but reason tells you misery lies only on one side and joy upon the other."
