The Dreaming Mind

What wisdom does your sleeping mind want to tell you?

with Swami Lakshmiananda

When: 3-week series on Thursdays, October 12, 19 & 26

Time: 6:00-7:30 PM Pacific Time

Cost: $50    Attend in person or online on Zoom     

 

Your dreams can become friends and teachers once you begin to understand their language. They can bring to life your latent creative nature. This deep personal wisdom is always available to you. Learn a time-tested method to invite your dream symbols to speak, offering guidance and clear steps to action.

“Making our own discoveries is a very joyful process and gives us the courage and strength to go on. By finding answers within, we gain self-confidence.”  ~Swami Radha, Realities of the Dreaming Mind

Bring a dream written or typed out to refer to for each class and have your journal or notebook handy.

Aging with Grace

with Lakshmi and Sheila Thomsen

When: Thursdays, May 11, 18 & 25

Time: 6:30-8 PM Pacific Time

Cost: $50

Attend in person or online. 

 

The challenges of aging are mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual. How can we turn these challenges into opportunities? How can we live Robert Browning’s invitation, “Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be, the last of life, for which the first was made.”? In this 3-class series, we will use a variety of yogic practices to help us reflect on these challenges. Give yourself an opportunity to explore the possibilities with others who are asking many of the same questions about living long with grace.

Bring a journal or notebook.

Aging with Awareness 

with Lakshmi

When: Saturday, March 18

Time: 1:30 – 3:30 PM Pacific Time

Cost: $30 or pay as you can

Offered online and in person in the studio. Advance registration required. 

 

As we age, we often experience an inner prompting to re-examine our priorities and choices. By acknowledging our learning, challenges and victories, we can reflect on how we want to create our lives now. Using yogic practices, we can reflect on questions such as:

  • What is my current perspective?
  • What have I learned?
  • What concepts do I hold that are no longer valid?
  • How do I want to create the rest of my life?

Items needed: journal or notebook and pen.

How Do I Listen?
a 4-class series

with Lakshmi

When: Tuesdays, Jan 10-31st  6:00 – 7:30 PM

Cost: $50 for 4-class series or $15 per class

Offered online and in person in the studio. Advance registration required. 

 

Listening within. Listening to others. Hearing beyond the words. Silence. Learn to enhance your sense of hearing.

Items needed:  journal or notebook and pen.

 

“Listening is very difficult for most of us. But there are circumstances in which listening is more appropriate than action. When you have a proper understanding of that, you will discover the results of just listening. But if you think, “Should I do this? Should I do that? This may not be so good. Maybe I should do that. Why can’t I do this?” you are just getting into a war with your personality aspects. Then there is no way you can receive an answer. Also, if you have already decided what answer you want to hear, that is all you will hear because you are not listening, and that is no true answer.”
~ Swami Rada, Time To Be Holy

***************

Stilling the Mind

with Swami Yasodananda

When: Tuesdays, Nov 15, 22 and 29

Time: 4:00 – 5:15 PM

Cost: $40 for 3-week series or $15 per class

Offered online and in person in the studio. Advance registration required. 

 

Stilling the mind is a process. It takes letting go, relaxing, being in the moment. Using Yoga techniques, we will be guiding the body and mind with images, sounds, and ideas that support stilling the mind. These Yoga techniques include Hatha Yoga, Divine Light, Mantra, reflection, and more, to reveal your own quiet mind.

Have a notebook or journal; wear comfortable clothing for stretching and relaxing.
