Yoga Salutes Nonviolence
My friend and fellow Anusara yoga instructor Naomi Gottlieb-Miller just sent out advance information about the event “Yoga Salutes Non-Violence,” where participants will do 108 sun salutations together, and all proceeds will benefit the Abused Persons Program, Montomery County’s domestic violence shelter. The practice is on November 5th at Willow Street Yoga. Students can attend advance Friday night practices to get ready for the event and also purchase cd’s for a small fee to practice at home.
To get involved as either as a participant or donor, you need TO REGISTER IN ADVANCE, on the Yoga Salutes Non-Violence website (http://www.yogasalutesnonviolence.org and http://www.yogasalutesnonviolence.org/ ).participantform.php
Naomi writes: “It is our hope to not only raise money for such an important cause, but also to use these principles of yoga that guide our own lives to encourage transformation, empowerment and peace for those in need.”
99 Cent Dreams (and Sadhana)
What I love about this sign is that actually to get anything on offer costs more than your dreams, albeit here only a penny or more. Really, I think, dreaming should be free (except for the time it takes us from doing other things). But actually to discover our dreams, to embody them, to find the real, that takes a steady commitment of time and energy.
A Meditation on Patience
When I decided to make strawberry towers part of the new sleeping porch garden extension, Niraj Ray of Cultivate the City told me to remove all of the flowers until mid-May to allow the plants to develop leaves large enough to support sizable and sweet berries. He also suggested feeding them every time I water.
It has been a pleasure nurturing the plants and finally watching plump, juicy berries redden in the sun outside my study window.
Might this delicious lesson in the benefits of being patient be a lesson applicable to how and when and why to re-emerge post vaccination, but before the end of the pandemic?
