WOW! We don't know how these things happen to us...we are humble with gratitude.
It must have something to do with being in the enchanted kingdom of Crescent Beach and our ardent belief in grace, magic and the impossible being possible.
We are happy to host an impromptu visit this evening with two yoga legends....

"Ultimately, all we really want is a relationship. And it's often our biggest challenge: 'Can you trust that your partner will hold a steady ground while you expand?' 'Can you commit to giving support so your partner can fly?' 'Can you communicate your fears and needs when your world is turned upside down?' 'Do you have fun together, laughing and releasing, finding pleasure and passion?' 'Do you see eye to eye?'
These questions arise, sooner or later in any relationship. "
"They reflect basic issues, important to us all if our relationships are to survive and flourish. Relationship, for those who truly practice it, is a potent yoga. It's parallels to yoga's spiritual practice are many: relationship stretches you to greater flexibility, furthers your personal awakening, and leads you to your highest self. It requires dedication, discipline, and daily practice. "
"Contact's goal, like the true meaning of the word yoga, is union."
- Excerpt from "CONTACT: The Yoga of Relationship" by Tara Guber

A CALL TO CONSCIOUS EVOLUTION
Please read...this is very compelling. And if you want to discuss, meditate and be inspired about this new evolution of humanity please join us at our Gathering for Peace at Sol Yoga on Friday, April 3 at 7pm. Everyone welcome.
The Obama Administration has asked the "Evolutionary Leaders" to communicate about what is transpiring on the planet, and how we can change the course of the unprecedented events that are challenging this planet. This is a window of
opportunity that must be taken!
The Evolutionary Leaders like Deepak Chopra, Gregg Braden, Michael
Beckwith and many, many others, gathered together to write up the
information to present to the Obama Administration. They are also asking us to sign
a petition to show the Administration how many people are in favor for these changes
to occur. Below is the information presented to the New Administration.
By the Evolutionary Leaders
The human family is in the midst of the most significant transformation of
consciousness since its emergence in Africa over one hundred thousand years ago.
Consciousness has been evolving for billions of years from the first cell to us. We
are becoming aware that through our own consciousness the universe can know itself.
This awareness reveals incredible new potential for our individual and collective
humanity.
Simultaneously, we are the first species on this Earth aware that we can destroy
ourselves by our own action. This may be the greatest wake-up call to the evolution
of consciousness since the origin of Homo Sapiens. We now realize that we are
affecting our own evolution by everything we do. This knowledge awakens in us the
aspiration to become more conscious through subjective practices including
meditation, reflection, prayer, intuition, creativity, and conscious choice making
that accelerate our evolution in the direction of unity consciousness and inspire us
to deeply align our collective vision.
THE CHALLENGE
At this juncture in human history, urgent global crises challenge us to learn to
live sustainably, in harmony and gratitude with one another and with the living
universe. The changes required of humanity are broad, deep, and far reaching. Only
by acting swiftly and creatively can we birth a planetary culture that will bring
well-being to every form of life in the Earth community. The good news is that a
compelling new story of our potential as a whole human species is emerging-a story
of collaboration, citizen action, dialogue and new understandings propelled by
unprecedented levels of democratic freedom, multicultural exchange, and access to
communication technologies. It is nothing less than the story of our
collective evolution.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR ACTION
We recognize that the inner and outer aspects of life evolve together. A dramatic
awakening in consciousness will involve an equally dramatic shift in outward aspects
of our lives. In particular, we see the following as vital opportunities for our
conscious evolution, both personally and collectively:
Cultivating a Paradigm of Aliveness: We regard the universe as deeply alive and
conscious by nature. In a living universe, our sense of subtle connection and
participation with life around us is the basis for a compassionate and cooperative
approach to living.
Educating for an Evolving Consciousness: Awakening consciousness is the foundation
for all the change we seek to see in the world. We can work to elevate our capacity
for conscious reflection and creative action in our personal lives as well as our
collective lives as communities. We must support research and educational strategies
that optimize human capacities and explore the nature of consciousness.
Restoring Ecological Balance: The balance of planetary ecosystems is fundamental to
our survival. We must reverse the pollution of our global commons-the water, air and
soil that nourish all life. We must encourage the proliferation of clean, renewable
energy sources and expend all necessary resources toward mitigating the effects of
climate change.
Encouraging Conscious Media: We must find innovative ways to use the new electronic
media as the mirror of our positive evolutionary story, investing in their capacity
to reach across differences of generation, culture, religion, wealth, and gender to
build a working consensus about our collective future.
Engaging in Social and Political Transformation: More sustainable ways of living
will require the support of a more conscious democracy and vibrant civil society
from which more enlightened leaders will emerge. All individuals should be
encouraged to use their gifts to create participatory, responsible and compassionate
models of governance.
Working for Integrity in Commerce: Conscious businesses that are aware of the scope,
depth, and long-range impacts of their actions are key to achieving sustainability.
Business must become an ethical steward of the Earth's ecology and consciously
establish an economic basis for a future of equitably shared abundance.
Promoting Health and Healing: The science of mind-body-spirit health has
demonstrated the profound connection between the health of a whole person and the
health of the system in which he or she lives. Whole systems healing, respecting
both traditional knowledge and modern sciences, must be supported in physical,
social, and spiritual domains.
Building Global Community: The new story is about all of us who share this planet.
Together, we can create a culture of peace that eliminates the need for armed
conflict, respecting and appreciating the glorious diversity of our human family.
YOUR PARTICIPATION IS VITAL
Our group has done its best to articulate possibilities for the evolution of
consciousness at this crucial moment in time. Please reflect on this document, feel
what resonates in your being and calls forth a response on your part. We invite you
to discuss it with others, continuing this global conversation by adding to it the
wisdom that is uniquely your own.. Together, let us co-create a new narrative of
conscious evolution that is a call to individual and collective action, birthing the
most significant transformation of consciousness in history. Join in the Call to
Conscious Evolution by signing the pledge now.
