Dear CIHS Community Members,

I hope you are enjoying this spring season.  

There are a couple of announcements in this newsletter. First, the Anahata Chakra Awakening workshop is being held next weekend, April 13 & 14, on campus. This is a wonderful opportunity to deepen your knowledge, experience, and practice in yoga and meditation with dedicated Masters who are only here once a year. If you are interested in the workshop, you can view the course outline from here. Students can receive academic credit for this workshop, and it is open to the CIHS community and public, as long as there still is space. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Second, CIHS' Annual Subtle Energy Science Conference, "Uniting Science & Spirit: the Quest for a Sustainable Integrated Worldview," takes place on our beautiful campus, Friday, July 19 through Sunday, July 21. The fee structure, meals, and other details are in the announcement. Please see the article below for more detail or visit our website (www.cihs.edu). We have a fee schedule for this conference, and early registration fee is $375 (April 1 through June 30). After that, the regular fee is $390. This covers Friday afternoon meet and greet, dinner, and a lecture, full days Saturday and Sunday, including breakfast, lunch, and snacks both Saturday and Sunday.

Lastly, Spring Quarter began this week. Some courses are still open for registration. Almost all of our classes can be taken as an audit status or provisional student. Thus, if you want to experience our classes and innovative curriculum, you are welcome to take a class that may support your interests. Every quarter we offer classes that represent innovations in subtle energy science, comparative religion and philosophy, and psychology. If you have any questions about your academic program and what courses best support your goals, please email Dr. Hope Umansky (Hope_Umansky@cihs.edu). Please view our unique course schedule from the link here. 

We hope to see you on campus for one of our amazing events.

Sincerely,

We hope you will join us for CIHS' Annual yoga workshop with the focus on the anahata chakra taught by Mr. Takeshima and Paul & Suzee Grilley, Yin Yoga Masters.

Uniting Science & Spirit: the Quest for a Sustainable Integrated Worldview is rapidly approaching. We are happy to announce the titles and schedule of events (see below). As a student, you may receive academic credit for attending and it is open to the larger community. Please come join us for intellectual pursuit, community, and fellowship among like minds. The conference is designed to be an immersion experience. It begins at 3 pm Friday, July 19, with a meet-and-greet, dinner, and a welcome lecture, and then a full day on Saturday and Sunday, including breakfast, lunch, and snacks both days. It is a wonderful way to experience what it is like to be amidst like minds in a forward thinking community.

We will be welcoming back many, such as Drs. Bill Tiller, Claude Swanson, Beverly Rubik, and Shin Lin, as well as welcoming new speakers into our community such as Drs. Gary Schwartz, Thomas Brophy, Shamini Jain, Robert Alcorn, MD, and Kamyar Hedayat, MD, to name a few. In honor of Dr. Motoyama's life work dedicated to the integration of science and spirituality, we will be a decidedly maverick and academically rigorous group; we promise the conference will invigorate your thoughts, research, and practice, as CIHS continues to push the frontiers of science and spirituality. CIHS' annual conference is a wonderful way to experience the CIHS community - students, faculty, administration, staff, and people from the larger science, spirit and subtle energy communities -- at one of CIHS' most dynamic and lively events.
