Developed in ancient China, the fluid, repetitive motions and deep
breathing of Qigong help to improve overall health, prevent dis-ease, and
strengthen the body and mind. The rhythmic movement stimulates the acupuncture
organ meridians thereby bringing the immune, endocrine and nervous systems
into balance.
People of any age, shape or size can benefit from the regular practice of
this movement meditation. Come join us.

A shared journey of song, poetry and praise to uplift all of life.
Guided by Amy McTear,
Joseph Jastrab and Dahlia Bartz Cabe.
Many cultures and spiritual traditions have used chanting as a means of
entering the heart, releasing anxieties of the mind and achieving union with
the spirit.
Join us as we sing chants from Hindu, Tibetan, African, Native American,
mid-eastern and western traditions. We will let our hearts revel in
meditative and ecstatic chanting as well as rest in the deeply restorative
silence produced by our harmonic choirs with the crystal singing bowls
and gong.
Untrained and heartfelt voices are both welcome and necessary. Bring a
pillow if you wish to sit on the floor. Chairs will be provided.

The word AUM is considered to be the sacred syllable of
creation-the symbol of the divine in all. Chanting AUM, the vibration permeates
every cell of your body. A profoundly simple and powerful healing radiates
through you, from you and out into the world. This ultimate ultrasound can
clear your mind, relax your body, open your heart and connect you to the
mystery and wonder of the universe.
We will chant AUM fifty minutes, sit in sweet silence,
then share our hearts and voices in sacred song.
All are welcome; no experience is necessary. $5--10 donation.

sitting still or moving-- the posibilities are endless. Meditation is a powerful
tool that can be used in many ordinary situations to create an extraordinary
atmosphere. Call Dahlia to talk about your idea.

Can be taught as a monthly or weekly series, or as a weekend workshop.

Haiku is an elegant form of Japanese poetry that
allows for getting to the heart of the matter in just seventeen syllables.
Dahlia will teach a fun and simple approach to haiku and to watercolor collage
that requires no artistic "talent" or experience, only the urge to create.
Combining these art forms results in a revealing expression of
yourself.
