Building on the astonishing success of The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle presents readers with an honest look at the current state of humanity: He implores us to see and accept that this state, which is based on an erroneous identification with the egoic mind, is one of dangerous insanity.

Tolle tells us there is good news, however. There is an alternative to this potentially dire situation. Humanity now, perhaps more than in any previous time, has an opportunity to create a new, saner, more loving world. This will involve a radical inner leap from the current egoic consciousness to an entirely new one.

In illuminating the nature of this shift in consciousness, Tolle describes in detail how our current ego-based state of consciousness operates. Then gently, and in very practical terms, he leads us into this new consciousness. We will come to experience who we truly are-which is something infinitely greater than anything we currently think we are-and learn to live and breathe freely.

You hurt me years ago.

My wounds bled for years.

Now you are back,

But I am not the same.

In the past, warriors fought by striking the same points that

acupuncturists use. One famous swordsman nearly died in a

duel in which his opponent attacked him in such a way. After

that, the swordsman became a wanderer and tried to renounce

the martial life. Years later, his enemy found him and challenged

him to duel again. They fought. In the first flurry of blows, the

aggressor stepped back in surprise. The swordsman smiled and

said, "I trained for twenty years to move my vulnerable spots."

with that, he was finally able to triumph.

Spirituality is a process of inner healing. The wounds of the past

can be the greatest obstacle for self-cultivation unless we find

them all and heal them. This task can take years, but we must

accomplish it.

In many cases, our wounds were inflicted by other people-

enemies. This is subtle. Our enemies can be others on the street,

or people much more intimate with us: parents, teachers, siblings,

lovers, friends.

If we move away from such people and succeed in our practice,

they will have no chance to come back in our lives.

how can they? We change whatever made us vulnerable in the

first place

This workshop is for the beginner who wants to experience the benefits of meditation but does not enjoy the experience of trying to stay in stillness for receiving. Walking meditation is meditation in action. When we do walking meditation, we are using the physical, mental, and emotional experiences of walking as the basis of developing greater awareness.  Along with the obvious, physical benefits that walking brings, practicing walking meditation is a way of "de-fragmenting" our minds. It is a method of obtaining mindfulness or "being in the now". The beginner student will learn the physical, mental and emotional benefits as well as experiencing the flow of chi energy from utilizing the powerful, ancient symbol of the circle. Circle walking is easy to learn and does not require a lot of space. When the weather is optimal you can take it outside!!

COST: STUDENTS/ NON-STUDENTS  $30

People train in the martial arts for many different reasons.  Some say to get in shape, learn self defense, learn to fight, develop mental attributes such as patience, discipline themselves, study an art, etc.  These are all great reasons to start the martial arts, however if one wants to delve deeper into the core of martial arts training, we need to look further than the surface.  Many people look at martial arts as a system of fighting that was developed in Asia for the sole purpose of combat or self defense.  That is like seeing only the small tip of an ice burg protruding out of the water, the other ninety eight  percent is not visible on the surface!  Humans are made up of three parts:

An annual healing event has quietly spread across the planet. Millions worldwide have experienced the healing benefits of T'ai Chi & Qigong.

People who've felt the profound stress management benefits of these ancient tools, and realize what they offer humanity, have begun to come together to share that awareness with society at large . . . and at a time when the world needs it the most.

World T'ai Chi & Qigong Day brings people together worldwide across economic and geopolitical lines . . . coming together to celebrate health and healing.
