Hi Everyone,
|
I'm excited to announce a new breathe deep event. Please join me for a weekend Silent Meditation Retreat, Saturday, November 6 - Sunday, November 7, 2010. This retreat will take place in a beautiful 150-year-old renovated farm house in Frederick, Maryland. Escape from the distractions of the city. Enjoy access to fields and forest, walk along the stream and country roads, and feel supported in silence and meditation.
I will be leading the weekend, which will include light vegetarian/Ayurvedic meals, meditation instruction, seated and walking meditation, guided meditation, and special instruction on mantras and pranayama (breath work). Come into nature and begin to find your true nature through silence, stillness and introspection.
Since 1996 I have attended over a dozen week-long silent retreats in the U.S. and Europe, and have taught monthly meditation classes at breathe books. I'm so excited to have the opportunity to facilitate this retreat in such a gorgeous, contemplative setting, as part of our expanding ventures in our breathe deep series.
The cost for this event is $245, which includes room and board (shared rooms and delicious Ayurvedic meals) and instruction. Space is limited so please contact us soon to sign up.
So this week we have a very special guest author coming to breathe for a writing workshop -- please join Justin Kramon, the author of the newly published Random House novel, Finny, on Sunday, August 8 at 1 p.m. Justin has graciously offered a workshop in addition to a reading and signing of his new book.
Shopgirl Jenn, who is in the middle of Finny right now, is excited to meet Justin. "Finny (the main character) is intriguing from the get-go -- a spunky firecracker if ever there was one. I think a lot of us can identify with being the odd one out in our families, even from a young age, and I'm really looking forward to seeing where she goes!" You can watch a (really sweet and entertaining) book trailer for Finny on YouTube. This is a rare opportunity to talk with a published author about the ins and outs of writing, the industry, and his well-reviewed book; we hope you'll take advantage of it!
love,
susan

Thursdays, August 5 & 19, 6:30 p.m. - 7:45
p.m. Yoga Nidra with Dr. Gina Sager
 Yoga nidra (yogic sleep) is a state of
heightened wakefulness and greater consciousness. The deep physical relaxation
allows the release of energy blocks, muscle tension and subtle emotional
blocks, which are a result of unprocessed, suppressed or unwelcome emotions and
experience. Yoga nidra offers deep physical, emotional, mental, physiologic and
metabolic rest -- the perfect antidote for the way we live today! Cost: $20 |
Saturdays, August 7 & 21, Psychic Readings
with Jael
 Jael was gifted with her psychic sense at a
young age and learned to listen to the "higher-ups" who flowed information
through her. She uses her intuition and instinct along with her gifts of
clairvoyance to convey messages to help guide you on your path and answer
questions and concerns. Cost: $45, 30 min; $85, hour |
Sunday, August 8, 1 p.m. - 3 p.m. Writing
Workshop with Justin Kramon
 Justin Kramon, author of the new novel Finny,
will lead a seminar for beginning writers on ideas, tips, and experiences
related to getting published. Justin provides great information for writers
just starting out, such as how to write query letters to agents, where to find
magazines that will publish your work, how to win grants and awards, etc. The
talk draws from an internet project; more information at http://justinkramon.com/Writers.html. Justin
will sign copies of his novel following the workshop. Cost: free |
Monday, August 9, 7p.m - 8:30 p.m. Baltimore IONS Explorers: Near-Death Experiences
 Join our monthly general discussion about topics
of interest in Noetic Science. Baltimore IONS explores the mysteries and
potential of human consciousness. This month we'll talk about Near-Death Experiences. Please feel free to share your encounters, thoughts and personal stories. Are they real? Do people really die and come back? Susan Weis, who had a near-death experience at the age of 13, will facilitate the discussion. Everyone is
welcome! Cost: $5 suggested
donation |
Wednesday, August 11, 7 p.m. - 9 p.m. Who Am I
and Why Am I Here? with Sharon Kay and Robin Mandley
 Are you curious about who you really are and why you are
here on Earth at this auspicious time? Join Sharon and Robin for an interactive
workshop as they share information from one of the foremost teachers of our
time, Patricia Diane Cota-Robles and the Beings of Light from the Realms of
Illumined Truth that may help answer these burning questions. The evening will
end with a group meditation. Cost: $10 |
Thursday, August 12, 1 p.m. - 6 p.m. Empathic
Angel Readings and Karmic Astrology with Julie Madill: Individual Sessions
 Angel readings help connect us to our higher selves and the
energies around us. They awaken our intuition so we can identify and interpret
signs and symbols. Astrology gives us the tools to identify prior life gifts
and talents, as well as make conscious blocks and karmic patterns. Dreams are
messages from the unconscious that help identify our fears and desires, and can
even be prophetic. Learning to listen to our more subtle selves allows us to
find peace and happiness in any circumstance.
Julie is a highly empathic and intuitive person who is
very in tune with the body. She has decades of experience as a yoga
teacher/student and is a certified karmic astrologer and angel healing
practitioner. Cost: Angel readings: $50/ half-hour, $80/ hour Astrology or
combo: $100/hour, $125/ hour and a half. |
Thursday, August 12, 7 p.m. - 9 p.m. LIONAID
Benefit -- Discussion and Film
 Join conservationist Rob Primmer and holistic
teacher Kari Noren-Hoshal for an informative benefit presentation on the
alarming reduction in numbers of lions in Africa
from 1960 to present. Rob will speak about the significance of lions in
spiritual and political symbolism over the ages; Kari will talk about her
recent spiritual journey to visit the White Lions of Timbavati, South Africa.
The evening will culminate in a showing of the documentary film Return of the
White Lion. The book The Mystery of the White Lions by Linda Tucker will be
available. Cost: $15; donations welcome |
