Happy New Year and welcome to 2013! We’ve lived the questions, worries and wonders of the Mayan calendar 2012 and we are still HERE.
As we move into a new year let’s allow for the past to fall away. Let’s embrace EVERY day as a new opportunity, a new vehicle for our soul’s expression. What will you be expressing as January 2013 rolls in?
Exploring the universal truths in satsang or committing to 21 days to a peaceful mind may be just what the guru ordered! Exploring real happiness, a lil’ bit o’ sex magick or mastering soul contracts may be what you’ve been waiting for. So go ahead and make 2013 YOUR year to breathe, shine and explore!
'It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day, it’s a new life for me. And I’m feeling good.'
~Nina Simone, “Feeling Good”
Blessings,

Meditation & Real Happiness Workshop with Sharon Salzberg
Meditation practice is far simpler, more fun, less esoteric and much more relevant to the wide-ranging situations we encounter in everyday life than we might imagine. Rather than an ornate, arcane set of instructions, meditation consists of practical tools to help deepen concentration, mindfulness and compassion. We rely on this depth when things change though we would much prefer stability, when we feel out of control of events, and above all when we want a quality of happiness that is not so fragile, so dependent on shifting conditions.

Rituals for the New Year: Beginning the Year with Clarity, Intention and Inspiration
$35
Rituals can be wonderful tools to help us release old patterns and limiting thoughts and move into the future with clarity and lightness. January is an auspicious time to use the focused power of ritual to align our minds, hearts and actions, and release the blocks and barriers that prevent us from manifesting our goals. In this workshop, we will draw from a range of cross-cultural traditions and spiritual teachings to create our own rituals, tailored to modern urban reality and our own contemporary lives. Whether we want to re-ensoul our daily routines, move out of an unwanted situation, complete an unresolved issue, focus our goals more clearly or manifest love and abundance, this workshop can help move into a new year with energy, inspiration and focus.
