Wednesday, June 23, 2010

Hello All,
We are trying out a new format here. Instead of a (very) long email listing all of our amazing events, we've put it into your hands to decide how much you want to read and when you want to read it.

You'll find a few places to click on links to read all of what's in store for July. The weekly newsletter will contain the current week's events, and for more you can click and read.

Let us know how you like it. It's a work in progress. We know these emails are long as we have so many events. We don't want you to miss out on anything! But we don't want to overwhelm you either. We think this is a good solution. Send feedback if you'd like.

I'd like to highlight a very special event this Saturday. Omega's Brett Bevell is coming  to teach his Magical Awakening class in a one-day workshop (June 26, 12 p.m. - 5 p.m.).  Those of you who have met Brett in one of his many visits know him as the most generous and down-to-earth of teachers. His style is powerful yet whimsical and, yes, magical!

If you have the time this Saturday and you want to learn an entirely new and original healing modality, spend the day with Brett. He opens new doors to access the Universe and all the energies it holds. Space is limited. Give us a call as soon as you can!

Ayurvedic Classes:

Dr. David Frawley, one of our great teachers of Ayurveda, says that it is one of the most remarkable holistic medical systems in the world, covering all aspects of health and well-being including methods of diet, herbs, exercise, life-style, yoga and meditation.

YES! This is why I love it so much. In July you can take my five-week Ayurvedic program, (July 6 - August 3) Perfect Health. And you can also take Ayurvedic Cooking Class on July 11. Ayurveda changed my life so profoundly that I love sharing it with you! Space for both courses is limited, so please call soon to sign up.

And an update on our Community Investor Program:

Customers have made significant investments and donations and I'm so excited about all the possibilities. Next week I'll send more details on our plans, but for now I just wanted to thank everyone and to let you know that this is an ongoing program. We are still seeking your support in order to expand our programs, our inventory, and our outreach into the community.

You can support the store in several ways including shopping here! It's that simple! Buying your books and gifts from us is one of the best ways to support and sustain breathe books. Remember us for your book club books, summer reading, your kid's required summer reading, and more. If we don't have a book in stock we are happy to order it for you and we can also send books directly to you.

Other ways people are supporting the store are through donations, gift card purchases, and investments. Give us a call or email and we'll be happy to send you some more information.

Thank you all!!

Love,

Susan

Wednesday, June 23, 7 p.m. - 9 p.m. Deep Journaling with Christine Stewart

Christine Stewart
Christine Stewart
In a quiet space, participants will respond to questions, prompts, images, objects, or music through writing. The goal is to pause to appreciate all that we've accomplished and consciously choose to deepen the experience of the weekend ahead. We write in silence, in the same way a group gathers to sit in meditation together. In this way, everyone will leave more centered and ready to enjoy the coming weekend. We will always end with a gratitude list. (This class may be extended for several weeks if participants are interested).

Christine Stewart is program director for arts in education, literary arts, and children's events with the Maryland State Arts Council, and director of Maryland's Poetry Out Loud program. A former artist-in-residence with Creative Alliance in Baltimore, Ms. Stewart is the founding director of the successful Write Here, Write Now workshops and has taught at Carver Center for Arts & Technology, the Odyssey Program at Johns Hopkins, and the Baltimore Museum of Art. Some of her publications include Poetry, Ploughshares, Blackbird, and The Cortland Review. Cost: $20

Thursdays, June 24, 6:30 p.m. - 7:45 p.m. Yoga Nidra with Dr. Gina Sager

Yoga nidra means "yogic sleep", but is actually a state of heightened wakefulness, of great potentiality and greater consciousness. The deep physical relaxation induced by yoga nidra allows the release of energy blocks that may be experienced as muscle tension and subtle emotional blocks which are a result of unprocessed, suppressed or unwelcome emotions and experience
Yoga Nidra

. Reset the body's innate energy balance, restore inner harmony and good health. You will be led to a state of deep physical relaxation, followed by guided imagery designed to help release energy blocks. Yoga nidra offers deep physical, emotional, mental, physiologic and metabolic rest -- the perfect antidote for the way we live today!
Cost: $20


Special Event with Omega's Brett Bevell
Learn the new energy modality, Magical Awakening

Saturday, June 26, 12 p.m. - 5 p.m. Magical Awakening Workshop with Brett Bevell
Brett Bevell
Brett Bevell
Magical Awakening is one of the most powerful and yet playful forms of Divine energy healing available on the planet. Practitioners who learn the first level of this eight level system gain skills far beyond what even most Reiki Masters can do, running energy healings on large groups of people simultaneously and at a distance. Based on an ancient concept in Celtic Shamanism called the Three Cauldrons, or primary energy wheels, the first level of Magical Awakening awakens these three energetic wheels within our own energy system, allowing us to harness energy from them to heal ourselves and others.

In this first level training you will receive an empowerment to activate all three of these energy cauldrons, and learn how to use this Divine healing magical force on yourself, in your life, and for healing others and the planet.

This energy is specifically designed to realign human beings with the natural world, and release the illusion of being separate from the Divine intelligence that is the root of all life. This spiritual healing system can work on both physical, emotional and spiritual dis-ease, by awakening us back into knowing our place of unity with the Divine and with all life that springs forth from the Divine, including mythological aspects of Divine intelligence where often our greatest power resides. Brett Bevell is a Reiki Master and author of the recently released book Reiki for Spiritual Healing as well as The Reiki Magic Guide To Self Attunement. Brett has taught workshops at Omega Institute of Holistic Studies in Rhinebeck, NY and at Alex Grey's Chapel of The Sacred Mirrors in Manhattan.
Cost: $200
