The Bhagavad Gita
with Edwin Bryant
The Bhagavad Gita is the most representative, influential, and popular text from the numerous and varied spiritual traditions of Hindu India. Spoken by Lord Krishna to Arjuna, who is undergoing a moment of existential crisis; the text deals with the nature of the self, the world, ultimate reality, the purpose of human existence, and the spiritual paths that can be undertaken to accomplish this purpose. There are primarily four such paths / yoga systems, featured in the text, through which one can unite with the divine. They are: the path of self-knowledge—jnana yoga, the path of action in the world—karma yoga, the path of meditation—raja yoga and the path of theistic devotion—bhakti yoga.....For further info click link above for site.

EARLY NOVEMBER:
Sotai Workshop
with Chris Belskis
Sotai is a simple yet effective form of interactive therapy intended to restore physical and energetic health in the client through gentle structural realignments of the body. The techniques that will be presented in this introductory class are based on the research of Dr. Keizo Hashimoto who understood that basic human health is dependent on structural integrity and correct posture. Dr. Hashimoto discovered that correcting distortions in the client's basic physical structure could rectify many common ailments. The effectiveness of the exercises is dependent on the client coordinating the breath with gentle pain free movements that are met with light resistance from the therapist. These therapeutic exercises are used in acupuncture and shiatsu clinics throughout Japan. Although seemingly simple, Sotai has the potential to alleviate numerous physical ailments and energetic imbalances in a wide range of clients. This course gives the student a theoretical and practical understanding of the basic application of Sotai Therapy for self and clients. Students, upon completion of this course, should have the skills and knowledge to apply basic Sotai techniques in clinical situations to enhance the effectiveness of their treatments.
Open to practitioners of ABT and healing arts.
