"Into Great Silence", is an intimate portrayal of Carthusian Monks living high in the French Alps. It was produced only after German filmmaker, Philip Groning, waited sixteen years for permission to visit the monastery.
Groning subsequently lived at the Grand Chartreuse monastery for six months, fiming alone in the reclusive world in the French Alps where no outsider had ever before been allowed to enter. Among its many awards, the film received a "Special Jury Prize" at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival.
Dr. Raubolt will introduce the film and lead a discussion about this moving testament to a life of prayer. Topics will focus on meditation and prayer, aloneness and community, silence and purposeful activity in developing a full spiritual life and healing from the sould wonds of trauma.
He will be joined by guest speaker, Spiritual Teacher, Ian Laughton.

Jane has been practicing, teaching and studying yoga since 2001. She has completed several certifications under the YogaFit system and most recently completed her 200 RYT training through Sangha Yoga in Kalamazoo.

She delights in watching students gain awareness of the mind-body connection through movement and breath.
Through yoga we learn how to use our breath, visualization, sound and thought to find a deeper connection to ourselves. Students will discover the bountiful benefits of the breath, the nurturing space of relaxation and the calm surrender of meditation. Be sure to bring a mat, water, a hand towel and blanket for relaxation.
October 6 through October 30 Jane will offer three classes per week at the Center:
Mondays: 9:30 am Gentle Yoga
Thursdays: 7:00 pm Vinyasa Flow
