FULL MOON WOMEN'S MEDITATION AT RTI

Friday, Oct 23, 7PM (Doors open 6:30) at Rising Tide, 5102 Swift Rd, Sarasota. Shamanic Journey into Mother Earth with Zan Benham.
This full moon, called the Hunter's Moon, is an important one, as it's the only time all year when the moon is visible all night long, from sunset to sunrise. Ancient people used the light of the moon in October to hunt for food in preparation for winter. It's fitting that Friday's meditation, with a prominent Full Moon, is a Shamanic Journey into the heart of Mother Earth, with Zan Benham. .

Using the beat of the "Mother Drum" she will take you into territory that unlocks vast potential. Zan asks that you bring a special stone or crystal that holds meaning and can be used for grounding. Also bring something to cover your eyes, along with a notepad and pen to record your Journey.
Why not come early to visit with new or old friends. Or just hang out for a while. Doors open at 6:30 pm and are locked at 7:00 pm when the meditation begins.  

Please remember, it's due to the generosity of Rising Tide that we're able to use the center on Friday evenings. All donations go to the center in appreciation for its use.  We suggest a $10 donation, more if you can, less if you're unable to.  Tax deductible checks can be made payable to Rising Tide
WEEKEND WITH PIR ZIA INAYAT-KHAN, HEAD OF SUFI ORDER, AT RTI

Friday, Nov 13, 7:30pm - Public talk - $20 at Rising Tide, 5102 Swift Rd
Saturday & Sunday, Nov 14 & 15, 9:30am -5pm - Know Thyself: An Exploration of the Within

Within us lies an infallible sense of guidance that leads us to happiness, & that may be called Divine in its truest meaning. Our difficulty lies in turning away from the distractions & the noise of the external world so that we can learn to recognize that voice. Pir Zia Inayat Khan will guide participants on this journey with stories, sacred sound & breath practices, contemplative perspectives & meditative practices. This weekend will provide an opportunity to explore the inner life & immerse oneself in the sacred.

PIR ZIA INAYAT-KHAN, Head of the Sufi Order, is a scholar and teacher of Universal Sufism in the lineage of his grandfather, Hazrat Inayat Khan. He received his Ph.D. in Religion from Duke University. Pir Zia is president of the Sufi Order International and founder of Suluk Academy, a school of contemplative study with branches in the United States and Europe. Pir Zia exemplifies a new generation of spiritual teachers. He is keenly aware of the needs of the present day, of a world in crisis, & an emerging spirituality of the future, built upon the centuries-old tradition of the Sufi Masters. He is also founder of the inter-spiritual institute, Seven Pillars House of Wisdom. He lives with his wife and two children in rural upstate New York.  pirzia.org

Early Bird registration now open - $225 for entire weekend, 1 day - $125. To register:

WELCOME TO RICHARD NUR-AL-HAQQ MARTIN

Dear Friends, I am finally almost settled in my new home here in Sarasota! I've been traveling to Rising Tide for close to 15 years offering hands-on healing sessions, teaching classes, leading Dances, Zikr & Universal Worships. I'm now looking forward to becoming an active member of the RTI community, taking part in the RTI activities, & again offering hands-on healing sessions & classes.

Sunday, Oct 25, from 10:30-11:30, I will be leading the Universal Worship Service. It will be an Interfaith Gathering & a Formless Universal Worship: We will have discussions, share prayers, tell stories from both personal experience & scriptures you have studied. I hope you can join us.  
 
The hands-on healing sessions I offer combine shiatsu (Japanese finger pressure), Healing Qigong (which is grounded within the Yin Style Bagua System of Healing), & The Raphaelite Work, (a healing modality that approaches healing through transformation and self-discovery). These
sessions support your whole being: body, heart & soul. The normal charge per session is $85-1 hr, $45- 1/2 hour. However, till the end of December the charge for those in RTI community will be $50 & $25 respectively. Healing sessions will be at my home, which is within 2 minutes of RTI. For appointments: 410-215-0328 or yanur33@gmail.com.  In Service, Richard Nur-al-Haqq.

RECOMMENDED

1 )  Introducing The Foundations Practice: a spiritual & healing practice that uses visualization, intention, affirmation, & awareness. It is based on the work of a few people & came together over this last year. Previous to finding this I had been doing a lot of traditional, eastern spiritual practices and had developed kundalini syndrome, so I had to find a completely different kind of spiritual practice. At about this time I very spontaneously went to Goodwill & walked right to a book by the person that received the original version of this. I have modified & adapted it & added material from others I was inspired by. My experiences with it have been amazing & transformative. I offer it now for people to use in whatever way they would like: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_laV6dJwYZzq_DCOmtTaGjnL8hOSo_e_oQQuFnWgz9U/edit?pli=1.

2)  We went to a new restaurant on St Armand's Circle, the Green Zebra Cafe. Wow! It was some of the most delicious food I've ever had in my life. We had raw, vegan thai wraps, raw, vegan burritos, and raw, vegan chia pudding. Their kombucha was really good too. My favorite is the blue rose flavor. Also, the people who own it are so nice! They have loads of vegan and raw, vegan options. 476 John Ringling Blvd (941) 388-2848 (Submitted by Gabrielle Lennon)

3) It would be good if you wanted to inform your friends and maybe some of the Colleges about this grand Event this Saturday. Many of the World's best Teachers will bring millions of people into resonance with our current evolutionary process and possibilities. Global Oneness Day:

My Best, B.S."

THE DANCE OF DIALOGUE

Sunday, Nov 15, 1-4pm - A 3-hr spatial/kinesthetic workshop grounded in Nonviolent Communication (NVC) at Sarasota Mindfulness Institute,1530 Dophin St #6. Sarasota. When we are entering into difficult dialogue with another, often we believe we are prepared, perhaps we have rehearsed our words and yet when we step into the conversation our thoughts are blurred, meaning gets twisted, words fail and the outcome is less than satisfying and possibly has created further misunderstanding, hurt or distance. In this 3-hour NVC experience we will do the inner work using body wisdom and NVC to approach those difficult and even scary conversations with clear intention, self-connection & compassion. Be prepared to use your personal experience to work on your own inner dialogue. Early registration by Nov 11: $37 or $60 for 2 people. Send checks/money orders to Mercedes Frace, 543 S Neponsit Dr, Venice FL 34293. After Nov 11 or at the door: $47 for one, $80 for 2.
