What do different places in your home, in your yard, in your place of business, and even on your desk, say about you and your life? Can the power of prayer speak through interior and landscape design, even yard work or housework? Feng Shui (pronounced “Fung Schway”) has answers to these questions and many more. Although there are different expressions of Feng Shui, Intuitive Feng Shui (inspired by Professor Lin Yun’s Black Hat approach) is a great method for contemporary culture, and is certainly the easiest to understand and use.
Part of Dale O'Brien's Intuitive Feng Shui for Everyone. (Previous offering was on 7/15 - Intoduction to Intuitive Feng Shui.)

A seamless blend of classical Indian, flamenco, and western pop lends a distinctive spice to the devotional music of ancient India known as "kirtan" or "bhajan." Infused with devotion and spiritual longing, the music of "Mukti" (a Sanskrit word which means "liberation") is uplifting, inspiring and danceable; yet ultimately calls the heart into a deep silence and stillness.

7/23-25
Heart of Now workshop at Kindred Spirits
July 23-25, 2010 (begins Friday at 6:45pm)
*See details below.
At our weekend workshops, the saying "The truth is within you" comes to life. The Heart of Now leads you through a set of exercises where you'll be encouraged to notice your thoughts and words, your sensations and feelings in a number of different settings; one-on-one, small groups and large groups, in stillness and in movement. You'll be supported in your exploration by the open-hearted questions and reflection of other participants and our large, committed assistant team.
The Heart of Now specifically focuses on feeling and releasing emotion; noticing and changing restrictive ideas we have about ourselves and others, including self-judgment; practicing open-hearted honesty, first with ourselves, then others; and connecting with our dreams and passions and letting those be the focus of our lives. This brings each individual wherever they need to go. It brings clarity to those with confusion, healing to those carrying emotional burdens, connection to those who feel isolated, and inspiration to those who feel stuck.
The Heart of Now works well for couples as well as individuals, as each member of the couple gets time to focus on themselves as an individual, and time to be supported as a couple.
"Participating in the Heart of Now as both a student and assistant has deepened connection with myself, others, and spirit. The practice of honesty is so empowering in my life. I breathe, tune into my body, see what is real for me, and speak my truth - letting go of wanting any results. I continue to be blown away when I share with others something that I thought was wrong with me, and it actually brings me closer to them. I feel this energy running through my body that had not been there for a long time."
-Deb C
*DETAILS
The Heart of Now will begin at 6:45 pm on Friday July 23rd, and end around 6:30pm on Sunday. You'll be served yummy vegetarian meals all weekend, and receive housing for students in rooms of two or three with bedding and comfy beds. Those who wish can enjoy the beauty of the outdoors by camping. Heart of Now. as always, has a very reasonable registration fee for what you will receive, $295 (or $225 if received by Monday July 5th). This course is limited to the first 18 students who register.

Eugene ECKANKAR Center
2833C Willamette Street, Eugene, OR
(541) 343-2657
All are welcome to this free event
You are invited to experience an ECKANKAR Community HU, a Love Song to God, and a period of sacred contemplation. Regardless of your beliefs or religion, singing HU (pronounced like the word hue) can bring you greater happiness, love, and understanding.
“HU is woven into the language of life. It is the Sound of all sounds. It is the wind in the leaves, falling rain, thunder of jets, singing of birds, the awful rumble of a tornado. Its sound is heard in laughter, weeping, the din of city traffic, ocean waves, and the quiet rippling of a mountain stream. And yet, the word HU is not God. It is a word people anywhere can use to address the Originator of Life.” - Sri Harold Klemp, Spiritual Leader of ECKANKAR, Religion of the Light and Sound of God

Fire Ceremony at Kindred Spirits Retreat Center
Monday, July 26th, 6:30pm potluck, followed by 7:30pm Fire Ceremony
www.kindredspiritsretreat.com
For more info and directions to Kindred Spirits contact:
Bruce Porter — bruceport(at)hotmail.com
or Theresa Schumacher -- theresa.schumacher(at)gmail.com
Ceremony and the invocation of sacred space can help bring our soul's intention to focus. The combustion of fire represents both release and manifestation - releasing old stories and drama, manifesting new life and new direction - rebirth. At the time of the full and new moons, the ancients believed the veils between the worlds to be thinnest, and ceremony done at these times was thought to be more powerful. Based on ancient medicine, this is an opportunity to use the transformational energy of fire to manifest the new, and to throw into the fire that which you are ready to discard or transform. Led by Susan Burns-Marriott, shamanic practitioner and hypnotherapist.

Lama Sonam (Tony Albino) will lead KDC’s annual Mahamudra Retreat, to be held at a private, country site near Eugene blessed by many High Lamas. All students able to make the practice commitment are welcome to receive the teachings and transmissions, based on the Ninth Karmapa’s Ocean of Certainty, a key text in the Mahamudra tradition. Kyabje Bokar Rinpoche designed the retreat and its accompanying program of meditation practice to meet the needs of lay practitioners including newcomers. Vast and profound, Mahamudra is the pinnacle of the Kagyu Lineage, and embodies the deep meaning of all the sutras and the tantras; instructions in Mahamudra can only be obtained from a qualified Lama.
Lama Sonam Dargye completed the traditional three-year retreat in 1989 under the guidance of Venerable Lama Tsang Tsing. Due to his training and qualities, Lama Sonam has Venerable Lama Tsang Tsing’s complete confidence to lead the retreat.
The retreat will include time for group and individual practice as well as group teachings with question-and-answer periods. The daily schedule begins at 6:00 a.m. and ends at 8:00 p.m. and includes Chenrezig and Mahakala Pujas each afternoon. All participants are asked to commit to a year-long program of daily meditation practice to the best of their abilities. Friday afternoon, July 30, is arrival day and orientation. The schedule of teachings and practice begins Saturday morning and concludes Sunday, August 8.
The cost of the retreat is $400 ($300 for KDC members of six months or more) and includes three meals per day and instruction. Participants will be asked to assist the cook for a short period each day, but no one will thereby miss teachings or practice sessions. Accommodations will be in tents with an outdoor privy and a sheltered shower facility.
The retreat is limited to twelve persons. To reserve your place in the retreat, please send a $100 deposit payable to KDC by May 30. Deposits are non-refundable because advance purchases are made from the time your deposit is received. The retreat must be paid in full by July 15. For information please call Lama Sonam, (541) 747-8634, or Lama Kunzang, (541) 485-3961 between 10:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.
