Learn how to practice SuDarshan Chakra Kriya, a simple yet powerful meditation practice consisting of a specialized alternate-nostril breath, mantra and bandha in this one-and-one-half hour workshop. 

 

Do you know that mood physiologically alters your perceptions, not to mention your Darshan Chakra

assessment of what you perceive? Have you noticed that when you are in a 'good mood' things tend to look better than they really are, and that whenever you are in a 'bad mood' things tend to look far worse than they literally are? What you perceive the facts of a given situation to be literally depends upon the state of your mood system; what you ascertain the implications of the situation to be will consequently be affected. 

 

SuDarshan (Su means auspicious and Darshan means sight, vision, viewpoint) Chakra (disc, spinning wheel) Kriya (completed action, cause that effects the desired consequence) literally brightens the colors you are perceiving right now. Your view of today becomes more positive, and thereby your view of tomorrow becomes full of possibility.  

 

With the resulting clear and positive view of what is and of what is possible, one's thoughts, words and actions becomes aligned with the fulfillment of your dreams, plans and goals. You become a visionary. Cost: $25

Sunday, August 14, 1 p.m. - 3 p.m. The Feng Shui of Color by Color in Space

Feng shui, the ancient Chinese system used to balance and enhance environmental energy, has increasingly been accepted as a valid and beneficial solution for improving our lives and destiny. We are delighted that our culture is awakening to what ancient Eastern cultures have known for thousands of years. Harmony and balance, especially with nature, are grounding principles of feng shui.  With the development of the Dwelling Palettes�, Color in Space has found that educating our clients about color theory and physics (the science of light), is the foundation of our success. Most individuals have not had the opportunity to enter the paradigm Color In Space

through which we experience and understand color.  

 

Without light, we cannot see color. When we see color, it is light reflected back to us. Color is light, and light is a form of energy with its own frequency and wavelength. That's why thinking of color through a scientific or physics lens is often more helpful. This energy (color) is not static. It fluctuates and changes, reflecting the light conditions at the time and responding to the other colors (energies) surrounding it.  Let's face it, the architectural application of color is an infusion of energy.  We at Color in Space know how to manipulate and balance that energy to better support you. Please join us to learn how! Cost: $10

Leaning into fear and opening our heart allows us to live our lives more in the present moment free of life limiting habits Cost: $20 suggested donation

 

Saturday, August 20, 11 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. Vanishing of the Bees: Documentary Screening

Join us in celebration of National Honey Bee day (August 21) for a screening of an extremely important brand new documentary, Vanishing of the Bees. Honeybees have been mysteriously disappearing across the planet, literally vanishing from their hives. Known as Colony Collapse Disorder, this phenomenon has brought

beekeepers to crisis in an industry responsible for producing apples, broccoli, watermelon, onions, cherries and a hundred other fruits and vegetables. Commercial honeybee operations pollinate crops that make up one out of every three bites of food on our tables.

 

Honeybee

Vanishing of the Bees follows commercial beekeepers David Hackenberg and Dave Mendes as they strive to keep their bees healthy and fulfill pollination contracts across the U.S. The film explores the struggles they face as the two friends plead their case on Capital Hill and travel across the Pacific Ocean in the quest to protect their honeybees.

 

 

Filming across the US, in Europe, Australia and Asia, this documentary examines the alarming disappearance of honeybees and the greater meaning it holds about the relationship between mankind and mother earth. As scientists puzzle over the cause, organic beekeepers indicate alternative reasons for this tragic loss. Conflicting options abound and after years of research, a definitive answer has not been found to this harrowing mystery.

 

We will offer a second screening if the first one fills up, which will be from 2:30 - 4:30 p.m. The film is 90 minutes long and a discussion will follow the film.  

Cost: donation
