“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

Jewish Movement Meditation with Evlyn Gould
Thursdays, January 5-March 29, 9:00 am
Newcomers are invited to join at the start of each 4 week period.
Temple Beth Israel
1175 E. 29th Avenue, Eugene
(29th & University)
This is an ongoing practice group.
Donations to TBI Community Education Fund gratefully accepted.
Jewish Movement Meditation awakens the body’s own capacity for self-transformation. With music, sound, and breath, we use techniques of Jewish meditation to invoke the internal genius of the body’s living waters—the mayyim chayyim—and their power of self-renewal. Join us as we dive into the sacred waters of life to restore health, build core strength, and listen in together to the wisdom of the body. We will work on the floor individually, but together, in comfortable clothing without zippers or buttons. No special experience, strength level, or movement training is necessary. But it is important to form the safe space of a working group or community. This is an ongoing practice group. Newcomers are invited to join at the start of each 4 week period.
Evlyn Gould holds a M.A. and a Ph.D. in French Literature and a CAS Distinguished Professorship at the University of Oregon as well as B.A. degrees in French and Dance. She has trained for 30 years in classical dance and has worked for five years in Continuum Movement.

Cost: Suggested donation $20. No one is turned away

There will be opportunities to learn practical strategies and tools for self empowerment, compassion, forgiveness and peace that support non-violent choices in our day-to-day living.
"The Soul of the Heart Sacred Circle" combines Hellinger's Systemic Constellation Work and sacred ceremony. It is an experiential process, working at a deep soul level. This heart-based approach brings more immediate and lasting impact than techniques that address the mind alone.
Through constellation work, we uncover hidden generational dynamics which create obstacles that prevent us from living our lives well. Shifts occur on a systemic level so that we can experience the natural flow of love, strength and support within our lives.
It is an open and very safe group.

Exploring the Sentient Body
With Lisa Marks MA LMHC
Saturday March 10th, 2012 in Port Townsend, WA from 1-4:30 pm
We focus on understanding Sentience, a transpersonal awareness that accesses the deep wisdom of the body. Tuning into Sentient Awareness as described by Dr. Arnold Mindell- our experience of sensation/proprioception in the body allows us to access the "tiniest, most subtle" experiences which can lead to deep and transforming moments. The feeling of "being moved" puts us in touch with the creative source of life.
Please join us at the Room to Move Studio, upstairs at 1008 Lawrence St. in Port Townsend, Washington 98368 for this 3.5 hour workshop on Saturday, March 10th, 2012. We begin at 1 pm and end at 4:30 pm with a short break. Cost is $45. Registration and deposit before March 1st qualifies for a discounted price of $35. Enrollment is limited, please register early. Email lisa(at)sentientbody.com, or call Lisa at (360) 385-7760 for more information. To hold your space send a deposit of $20 to Lisa Marks, P.O. Box 1001, Port Townsend, WA 98368.

More info: benjamincrandall (at) gmail (.dot) com
Join Charles Eisenstein acclaimed author, teacher and speaker for a day-long intensive workshop to explore activism in a time of profound transition.
Our world is facing a series of deepening challenges in 2012. These challenges will require new ways of thinking, and a whole new paradigm of activism and leadership.
In this workshop you will realize a new level of confidence, commitment, and effectiveness in what you are already doing -- an approach that doesn't depend on trying harder, but is a natural evolution.
This daylong event is a hands-on exploration of becoming more effective as change agents. It is also about reuniting the long-sundered realms of the activist and the spiritual practitioner.
This workshop will explore:
• The psychodynamics of transition
• The shift of consciousness and mythology underlying the transition today
• How to align ourselves with that shift on a personal, psychological, and spiritual level
• The rebirth of community
• Activism in an age of social and ecological healing
• A Leader as “one who holds the story of what is to be”
