Equanimity
with
Sharon Salzberg
Equanimity is a spacious stillness of mind that
allows us to be with things as they simply are. It does not imply
indifference, however. Rather, when equanimity is present, it is the
ground out of which sustained transformation can occur. It is also
the foundation for the boundless arising of other qualities of the
mind and heart, such as lovingkindness and compassion. This workshop
is suitable for both new and experienced meditators, and will
consist of guided meditations, talks and time for questions and
answers.
SHARON SALZBERG is cofounder of the Insight Meditation Society (IMS)
in Barre, Massachusetts. She has been a student of Buddhism since
1971, guiding meditation retreats worldwide since 1974. Sharon's
latest book is The Kindness Handbook, published by Sounds True. She
is also the author of The Force of Kindness, published by Sounds
True; Faith: Trusting Your Own Deepest Experience, published by
Riverhead Books; and Lovingkindness: The Revolutionary Art of
Happiness, published by Shambhala Publications. For more information

Menopause: Yoga and Lifestyle
with
Janet Colantuono
Transitioning to menopause brings a panoply of
symptoms; they may be humorous, bothersome, distracting, or
downright uncomfortable. But, it’s important to recognize that
menopause is not a medical condition – it is part of the aging
process. More and more women are searching out natural
approaches to help ease the journey through peri-menopause and
beyond.
Yoga can be a key component to feeling your best through these
transitional years – it can:
-
reduce stress
-
balance hormones
-
cultivate acceptance
-
build strength
-
support heart health
Join in as we share our
experiences, explore a variety of holistic approaches to the
menopausal path, and practice yoga aimed at soothing our surging
symptoms.

Healing Loss with
Yoga with Joan Platt
A sense of loss occurs not only when a loved one
dies, but also with any change - of either a negative OR positive
nature.
Practicing pranayama, asana, trataka, sankalpa and relaxation will
help bring back a sense of control, physically manage body symptoms
of grief, reduce fight or flight response, diminish stress levels,
and focus the mind towards the manifestation of the new reality.
Joan Egasti Platt, 200 hour registered yoga teacher, has trained and
been certified as a Yoga of the Heart instructor, and as a Yoga
Warriors instructor. She has personally experienced the power of
yoga to facilitate healing from loss due to death of a family
member, marital separation, downsizing, reconciliation, death of a
pet, marriage of a child, empty nesting, and birth of a grandchild.

Awakening the
Chakras with Lucy
What is a Chakra Exactly?
Chakras are our energy centers. They are the openings for life
energy to flow into and out of our aura. Their function is to
vitalize the physical body and to bring about the development of our
self-consciousness. They are associated with our physical, mental
and emotional interactions.
In this workshop we will be focusing on each individual chakra. We
will talk about the colors associated with each chakra, learn the
physical location of them, explore what purposes they serve,
discover which physical dysfunction's are associated with each
chakra, learn what types of information is stored in each of the
chakras, etc. This should prove to be an educational and an
enjoyable journey.
