Holistic Yoga Therapy Training

Yoga therapy uses a combination of yoga practices to support in the healing of particular conditions. It is much more specialized than yoga with all sessions tailored to a specific ailment or injury. Yoga Therapy assists the systems of the body to function as efficiently and effectively as possible, aiding prevention of illnesses, alleviating symptoms of existing conditions and promoting the body's own natural healing process to restore health and well being where disease is already present.

Eckankar Community HU Sing
All are welcome to this free event on
Sunday, April 22nd at 10:00 – 10:30 am
ECKANKAR Center of Eugene,
2833C Willamette Street, Eugene, OR
(541) 343-2657
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.

www.ToTheHeartOfTheMatter.com
"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.

World Tai Chi & Qigong Day
One World... One Breath
Saturday 4/28/12 10-12noon
1-3pm for Tai Chi and Qigong Instructors Meeting
Location: Sacred Heart Medical Center, Riverbend Drive, Springfield, OR
A human being is a part of a whole, called by us a universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest . . . a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
About Tai Chi Yoga Center
The mission of the Tai Chi Yoga Center is to provide quality body mind trainings of Tai Chi, Qigong, Yoga and Meditation. We offer classes, workshops, retreats and training to anyone with a desire to learn, cultivate and share with others.

Even medically incurable chronic illnesses can be healed in this manner. Spiritual energy is yours to control.
GodSpirits United LLC presents a series of nine progressive lecture/workshops from October - June to promote spiritual education and to help you understand yourself as All-Powerful Light Energy with the ability to create what you want in your life and to heal yourself. You will receive a sampling of beneficial energy treatments and a transmission of one of the nine Healers Rites of the Munay Ki from the Q'ero of Peru at each workshop.
Nancy Lynne Harris, M.A., founder of GodSpirits United, LLC, is a graduate of The Four Winds Society, a Theta Healer, and a Spiritual Teacher through the Eschatology Foundation in Los Angeles. As an Energy Practitioner/Shaman, she offers spiritual counseling, energy treatments, writes healing books and presents monthly workshops in spiritual healing. Her goal is to help people recover from dysfunction and medically incurable chronic illnesses by teaching you how to shift your energy.

The Unity Arts Collective (UAC) will partner with Unity of the Valley for concerts, drama, lessons for the community, and for visual arts.
The goals of UAC would include low-cost music lessons for children and adults, community building through public events, and promotion of local and national arts for the Willamette Valley community. This dinner and concert will be the kick-off fundraiser for the organization.
SCOTT COSSU:
Scott is an internationally known, composer, pianist and recording artist. He was up front when New Age was just beginning over 30 years ago. He was one of the first Windham Hill Artists to join with founder Will Ackerman and Alex Degrassi, in their new label out of Palo Alto, California.
Scott would affectionately call his music Heavy Mental or Cosmic National Geographic, even though he was one of the grandfathers of the New Age scene; he was labeled a “jazz luminary of the future”, by Billboard Magazine. Much of Scott’s work exhibits departures from the New Age field and includes a melodic blend of jazz, classical and ethnic influences.
HALIE LOREN TRIO:
In a relatively brief span of time, Loren appears to have achieved enough success and received enough kudos to define an entire career. Since her stage debut at the age of ten at the Sitka Fine Arts Camp in Alaska, Loren has continued to wow and woo audiences with her warm, intimate live performances; she is an elegant, electrifying performer, full of charisma and cool. And she has garnered more than her share of in-the-know acknowledgment, both critical and professional: from the Female Rising Star and Alternative Entertainer awards she won before she was 16, to later awards from such worthies as Billboard International and the John Lennon Songwriting Contest, up to her most recent award for "Best Vocal Jazz Album" at the 2009 Just Plain Folks Music Awards.
Loren’s newest release, ‘Heart First’ was released in Japan (JVC/Victor) in December 2011, garnering Jazz Critique Magazine’s 2011 coveted "Golden (top) prize" in the Vocal Jazz Album category. Playing to sell-out audiences both abroad and in the US, Loren continues touring in support of ‘Heart First’, which was released by Justin Time Records worldwide in March 2012.
LAURA KEMP:
Six years after releasing her critically acclaimed album May, singer-songwriter Laura Kemp has produced her sixth studio collection, Bodhi Tree. A fixture on the Northwest music scene since 1990 and regular winner of the Eugene Weekly’s annual reader’s poll for Best Singer-Songwriter, Laura ventured out of her hometown of Eugene, OR and traveled to Nashville, TN to record her most recent CD. This was not her first trip to Music City – as a student at Vanderbilt University back in the mid 1980’s, some of her earliest experiences on stage were in Nashville, as well as in Germany where she spent a year as an exchange student, skipping class, busking in the streets and gigging in Irish pubs.
The songwriting on her latest album, Bodhi Tree, is partly influenced by a journey Laura took to India in 2008 where she spent three months studying yoga, volunteering in an orphanage, and traveling. She brought back a harmonium, a traditional Indian instrument that she uses on the title track of the new disc... It also gives the listener a taste of what’s to come in a future recording. She is currently studying jazz guitar and plans on eventually releasing a full album of jazz standards. She also looks forward to recording a collection of Indian-influenced kirtan/devotional music featuring her harmonium with a combination of Sanskrit and English lyrics.

FRONTIERS IN SHAMANISM
A project of the Finding Your Medicine School of Shamanic Practice
The course is to begin in May 2012 (tentatively scheduled for Sunday May 6th).
Alida Birch, MSW, CSC, and Marta Boyett are pleased to announce advanced-level instruction in shamanic practice, presented as a year-long training. Frontiers in Shamanism both expands on and transcends existing courses in core shamanism. This will be the fourth year it is presented. Feedback from participants has been enthusiastic. One student chose to take the course twice!
Going into our fourth year, we look forward to reaping the benefits of experience by deepening the previous curriculum, and expanding certain areas of focus.
Course content will be directed by three factors:
· Instructor choice, arising from our 48 years combined experience and exposure to many teachings.
· The guidance of our helping Spirits.
· The unfolding needs of the Circle.
The current course outline includes but is not limited to, ethnic traditions, especially central Asian, north European, and Amazonian; Plant Spirit healing; advanced ways of merging for miraculous outcomes; different styles of working with power objects for healing; and Middle World specialties including Faery teaching. Participants learn the beauty and balance of enacting exquisite community ceremony in one tradition, contrasted with the stripped-down, silently effective methods of another. Particular emphasis is placed on powerful traditional methods that can be most unobtrusively integrated into the modern Euro-American setting.
The course is to begin in May 2012 (tentatively scheduled for Sunday May 6th).
Frontiers in Shamanism broadens the scope of understanding, deepens relationship with Spirit to an inexpressible degree, and promotes practitioner versatility and adaptability to any situation. We invite you to join us in taking this step.
