Hello All,

As always here at breathe, the coming week is all about community! The books and bagels book club will meet this Saturday at 1 p.m. to discuss Glass Castle, and Susan has picked next month's book: Jeff in Venice, Death in Varanasi by Geoff Dyer. This is a book she's a big fan of -- you can see her full review in Susan Suggests on the website (fourth review from the top).

Then, for those of you not able to make it in because of either scheduling or geography, we're having our first ever facebook breathe books book club (say that 10 times fast...) on the Fan Page! We'll be discussing a fascinating book, Long For This World: The Strange Science of Immortality, which examines what scientists are trying to do about the aging process -- and what the end of aging would mean for our society. Even if you don't have a chance to pick up the book, we hope you'll drop by, it should be a great discussion!

And speaking of fascinating topics!

World-renowned healer Eric Pearl will give a talk and book-signing on Reconnection next Wednesday, July 28th, at 7 p.m. The response to this event has been huge, and we're thrilled to be able to host him. Please do call us to let us know you are coming; we'll save you a seat! Eric is also teaching workshops in DC later on in the week -- you can find out more information on how to register for those on his website, TheReconnection.com.

On Friday, July 30th at 7 p.m., Evolver founding member Adam Elenbaas will be here presenting his memoir, Fishers of Men: The Gospel of an Ayahuasca Vision. Evolver is a social network that promotes "sexy sustainability, yoga glamour, and shaman chic" and invites people to rethink, reconnect, and reinvent, and grew out of Adam's intense experiences. Fishers of Men chronicles his journey from depression and abuse to health and a new spirituality. This promises to be a fascinating talk -- hope to see you there!

Penney Pierce's Inner Frequencies Workshop and individual sessions and Kristy Soltesz's Vastu Shastra Workshop are also this week -- check out the listings below for full details on these and all our events.

namaste,

Come prepared with a list of issues you'd like insight about. Penney will facilitate you through a series of visualization experiences to meet the Guardians of numbers 1 through 9. At each numerical vibration you will receive energy and a new perspective about who you are and how to proceed with your specific issues. In the process, you will equalize the nine core frequencies of your body so you can access higher energy and feel more complete. Once you learn this technique you can use it to gather a variety of integrated points of view for problem-solving and creativity-enhancement.

As a doctor, Eric ran a highly successful chiropractic practice for 12 years until patients began reporting that they felt his hands on them - even though he hadn't physically touched them. Patients soon reported receiving miraculous healings from cancers, AIDS-related diseases, epilepsy, chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, birth disfigurements, cerebral palsy and other serious afflictions. All this occurred when Eric simply held his hands near them - and to this day, it continues. His patients' healings have been documented in six books to date, including Eric's own bestseller The Reconnection: Heal Others, Heal Yourself. Cost: donation

In this event, Elenbaas-who is a founding member of the RealitySandwich.com and Evolver.net online communities-will discuss how taking part in multiple Shamanic ceremonies involving the South American psychedelic Ayahuasca helped him move from a life of depression and sex/substance abuse to one of renewed mental health and spirituality.
