Beltane festival

FYI this is a great event for people interested in sacred sexuality. I have been for the last 5 years and given workshops too. Lots of interesting workshops and it is a very spiritual place (ramblewood camp site).

If you haven't been before it is a very safe place to experiment and all the people I have met there are very respectful of boundaries - you only do something if you want to. The staff are good at creating a safe space too. I believe that they have day passes if you can't go for 4 days (but I think this event is so yummy that is good to be there for the whole time so that I can relax into the space and let go of the mundane world)

CSL/Shalom SAT 1/6 "NonOrdinary Consciousness"

FYI these meetings are usually good and the people are interesting too...

Can an altered, or nonordinary state of consciousness, be an important step in spiritual growth, awareness, and healing?  For thousands of years, shamans of innumerable cultures have explored this question.  Join us this Saturday for our own exploration of this engaging mystery.
 
NONORDINARY CONSCIOUSNESS
Saturday, 4pm to 6pm, Jan 6.  (Note: Please arrive PROMPTLY for this month's session!)
Falls Church, VA
POTLUCK GATHERING, 6:00 PM
ALL ARE WELCOME
 
I'll lead an hour-long experience.  You will be invited to go deeply within, to an altered space, and listen for the ancient echoes of spirit.  This gathering will require that you bring a blanket (and maybe a small pillow) so you can rest comfortably on the floor.  Also, note that due to the structure of this month's session, it is important that you arrive promptly, as we'll need to begin our work shortly after 4pm, without interruption.  If you arrive late, you may need to "camp out" downstairs until the session is complete.

DIRECTIONS to this month's meeting place (the home of Barra Kahn in Falls Church, VA):

 

From the beltway (I-495), take Arlington Blvd. (U.S. 50) eastbound toward Falls Church/Arlington.  In about 3 miles you will pass a McDonald's (it's off on the right on the service road).  Turn right at the next light, Annandale Rd.  Go 7/10 mile & turn left at the second light (Kerns Road).  Take Kerns through the light at Sleepy Hollow.  In a couple of blocks Kerns becomes Lily Dhu Lane.  Continue past the "Dead End" sign.  The house, 6438 Lily Dhu Lane, is a few houses past that sign on your left.  Barra's phone # is 703-941-8849.

Attractors game

This simulation (game?) is both fun and reminds me of programs that I used write as a teen to simulate particles in motion (in particular a projectile under gravity and wind resistance).

Resign

For peace of mind, you'll have to resign as general manager of the universe:)

Your greatest wealth is a quiet mind, a container whose mouth is wide open to accept yourself and all the world -- unconditionally.

I read this from an email from Dr. Joan Berry The Wealth Project http://www.drjoanberry.com/

Part of this for me is letting my inner Judge resign, take a vacation or at least for me to  ignoring her comments from the back seat while I am  driving my life!

Cuddle Party 2/10/06

There is a cuddle party on Saturday February 10, 2007 from 2:00-5:30 pm at Amy Storm's house 6429 Deep Calm Court, Columbia, MD

Edie Weinstein-Moser, will be facilitating. Her
background.....Writer, speaker, social worker, therapist, reikimaster, massage practitioner, interfaith minister, consultant andCuddle Party Facilitator in Training.

What is a Cuddle Party you ask?
A Cuddle Party is an innovative and unique workshop/social-event to
give women and men better tools for setting powerful and graceful
boundaries, building community, asking for what you want, and
meeting people. It's…

  • A place to connect with heart-centered, conscious people in a light-hearted, relaxing environment.
  • A setting in which you're respected for the whole of who you are.
  • A structured, safe space to learn about boundaries, intimacy and affection.
  • A laboratory where you can experiment with what makes you feel comfortable, and what makes you feel good.
  • Fun!


Treat yourself by genuinely connecting with amazing men and women.
Ask for exactly what you want without being afraid. Develop a deeper
respect for yourself, your body, and your boundaries. Have fun
sharing affectionate touch in an open-communication, no-expectation
zone!

Bring pj's or yoga clothes to change into. Please bring a blanket
and pillow. Yummy snacks are included.

One important piece of information: Cuddle Party workshops start
and end on time. There is a component of the workshop called The
Welcome Circle that sets the stage for the flow of the rest of the
afternoon. Since part of the workshop is about communication and
boundary setting, I am putting this out there now, so that all
present will feel respected and there is no misunderstanding.
Give yourself an empowering experience, one that you can be truly
proud of! www.cuddleparty.com

$25 in advance $30 at the door. We expect it to fill quickly, so
