Dear Friends:
 
Our May meeting, Dances of Universal Peace, was energizing and heart opening for all who came.  Thank you Ayat!

The June meeting is Sunday, June 29, 6:30 - 9:30 PM at the home of Adriana Ames and Steve Glanz in Novato.  Directions are given at the end of this announcement.  Please be on time, and remember to bring some good snacks that we can all share. 
 

We are delighted to have Mali Burgess speak to our group!  Mali teaches several classes which are unique and inspiring.  She will explore some of these areas, with a focus on her newest passion, Self Design.  Here is her description:

 

SelfDesign is a term Brent Cameron began using as a result of observing the way his young daughter learned.  He subsequently founded a school that respected and nurtured individual ways of learning.  His simple yet profound observations lie at the heart of learning as a living process, and of participatory social systems.

 

Fundamental to a free society is recovery from authoritarian based social systems, and the discovery of the freedom and peace that arise through the deepening of awareness and presence.  Awareness and presence are fundamental to self-reflective dialogue, creative communication, and evolutionary transformation.

 

Though evolutionary pioneers provide inspiration and guidance, developing awareness ultimately requires turning within. To help me deepen my own awareness, I developed two processes - mapping and a self healing process - that have been transformational for me and others.  Mapping is a visual process that transforms habitual patterns, and self healing helps heal physical, emotional, and mental injuries.  I will be telling stories from my own life, and will choose an experiential process based on group interest.


Mali Burgess, CMT PhD is a faculty member at Energy Medicine University, and a doctoral committee member at CIIS.  She is the founder of the Iris Institute, an educational nonprofit organization.  Her research has involved geometric dynamics and the psychophysiological effects of the architecture of space.  Her works as a visual artist have been shown and awarded nationally and internationally.  Her Integral & Healing Arts practice is based on participatory economic principles.  She is the author of Still, and a graduate of Princeton University and Union Institute and University.  Her websites are www.irisinstitute.net and www.maliburgess.net 

 

We look forward to seeing you! 
 
Sincerely,

ABOUT RAHM

RAHM is a forum for people to share what they have learned in their lives, their classes, workshops, degree programs, books and other media.  The group is structured on non-hierarchical principles.  We each share and contribute equally. 
 
The purpose of RAHM is practical, with an emphasis on healing, guidance, therapy, and personal growth.  It's not just a "lecture" group but is also experiential.  Topics are based on the presenter's own background and skills - or can be something the presenter would like to learn more about.  There is no better way to learn something than to teach it! 

The RAHM group (Reading And Healing Marin) meets monthly, every 3rd or 4th Sunday or as pre-announced, and unless otherwise notified, roughly 6:30PM - 9:30PM.  It is important to be on time!  For directions, see below.   
 
There will be short breaks and light snacks.  There is no charge for RAHM meetings, but please bring something to share.  In some exercises, we may be lying on the floor.  So bring pillows if you can, and dress comfortably.
