"My beloved child, break your heart no longer. Each time you judge yourself, you break your own heart. You stop feeding on the love which is the wellspring of your vitality. The time has come. Your time. To live. To celebrate. And to see the goodness that you are. You my child, are divine. You are pure. You are sublimely free. You are God in disguise. And you are always perfectly safe. Do not fight the dark. Just turn on the light. Let go, and breathe into the goodness that you are."
~ Swami Kripalu (as channeled by Carolyn Dell'uomo



" ...The unconscious has no time. There is no trouble about time in the unconscious. Part of our psyche is not in time and not in space. They are only an illusion, time and space, and so in a certain part of our psyche time does not exist at all."
~ Carl Jung

Spring 2010 Schedule

Spring is now here. The birds and I are all flying back from down south!

As the days get longer and the weather gets warmer, we begin to wake up from our winter sleep. The sap in the trees begins to flow and so does our own vital life energy.

Now is the time to expand our awareness outward to embrace the possibilities of the new season. Now is the time to assist our body’s natural process of transition. How can you best honor your body, mind and spirit in this process?

Let me support you in welcoming the season committed to your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being.

Here's an update of our spring offerings:

Plus, the following are ongoing beyond the spring:

Chanting Workshop
Chanting: Connecting to Divine through Sacred Sound

Almost all spiritual traditions incorporate some form of chanting to connect to the divine.

In this workshop we learn about the numerous benefits of mantra and chanting, when and how to use them. We also have an opportunity to experience the effects of the recitation of simple prayers, the repetition of specific mantras, (including bija mantras, the chakra sounds), chants from the Kripalu tradition, japa meditation, and kirtan, on all levels of our being. We also explore barriers and obstacles to vocal expression such as fear and insecurity.

You do not have to be a singer or have musical ability to take this workshop.

For more information on chanting, click here.

Please let me know if you are interested in this workshop and what time/day/length you would prefer.

Location
Subud, 2170 Danforth Avenue (located near Danforth & Woodbine)
