connection, meditation, discussion 
 Our Intention: To create an alliance of people based on the awareness of humanity's interconnectedness. We believe that if enough people share the value of peace, war can be brought to an end. If enough people shift their awareness toward social justice, human rights, and environmental sustainability, then injustice, oppression, and the destruction of the ecosystem can be stopped.
                     
Saturday, January 3
New Years Kirtan with 
Give Peace a Chant! 
7-9pm   $20
 Join us for a New Year's sacred chant evening to meditate on all of your intentions (sankalpas) for 2009. Health and wellness, balance and peace will be our overall focus for this evening's chant, but do bring all of your intentions for the year ahead and be ready to let go of anything that is no longer serving you.
Along with Kirtan, Sandra Leigh and Chantal Jolly will guide us in chanting some Vedic Health Mantras to assist in wellness and healing throughout our bodies. This is an ancient blessing for nourishment in the year ahead. With our thoughts we make the world said the Buddha... with our beliefs/intentions/thoughts, we co-create our life with the Eternal Heart that beats our individual hearts.
Focus on what you want to create, what you want to let go of, and what you are grateful for at Sol Yoga's special New Years Kirtan and yoga of sound session.

what we are listening to.......
 
'O BREATHE US DEEP'
Diane Bardwell Masters
 (with lyrics by Robert Augustus Masters)
 
CD available at Sol Yoga    $16
diane
Local musician Diane Bardwell Masters brings her richly evocative voice to each song, singing with a full-blooded, heartfelt fluidity unburdened by sentimentality. Some songs are devotional, some are raw; some soar, some sing and bleed; but all are presented in the spirit of awakening to who and what we truly are, featuring a deep, genre-transcending spirituality.
What connects the songs of O BREATHE US DEEP is not a particular style (a wide range of styles is used - from ballads to Celtic to Native American to hard-driving), but rather the poetically-articulated embracing and living of a deeper life, a life in which body, mind, emotions, and spirituality function as a natural integrated whole.
 And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.            -Dr. Seuss
