A Course In Miracles (ACIM) Study Group
Yes, yet another one!  😀
Dec 28th 2018 -- Dec 28 2019
Meeting each Friday from 8:00 - 9:30 pm
at
61 Prospect Ave. 4th Floor
Binghamton, NY 13901

This first meeting will cover the Preface and Introduction to the Text and Workbook, and set an intention to commit to a daily practice of the Workbook lessons for the coming year.  We will also offer some tools to facilitate our practice (CDs, journal writing, online resources, etc).  Our weekly meetings will provide an opportunity to BE together in silence, i.e. group meditation, answer questions from the previous week's Workbook lessons, and optionally, to share experiences.  New students welcomed; no experience necessary.
Some of the questions we will address are:
  • What is the goal of ACIM
  • What is a miracle?
  • What is a miracle worker?

Vishnu's Couch Yoga Studio presents
Group Meditation and Satsang Retreat
 Sunday, December 30th
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
 invite your friends along; the more the merrier!

Donations Welcomed

We happily invite you to start 2019 with some measure of clarity and intention.  Come join your like minded friends and together warmly greet the coming New Year in stillness and peace, together!  We will commemorate the end of 2018 and the start of 2019 with a Potluck/Reflection/Intention gathering followed by a Group Meditation from 11:15 pm (2018) -- 12:45 am (2019).  The potluck will start around 8:00pm; feel free to bring a little of whatever you enjoy or which to share.  Even if you cannot make the Potluck, please join us in spirit for the meditation starting at 11:30 pm (2018).

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