SUMMARY:Thursday Satsang: An Evening with Stephen Parker (Stoma)\, PsyD - "Why Study the Yoga Sutras Anyway?" - September 5\, 2019
DESCRIPTION:Thursday Satsang – September 5\, 2019\n“Why Study the Yoga Sutras Anyway?”\nAn Evening with Stephen Parker (Stoma)\, PsyD\n  \nStoma’s Monday night text seminar decided at the end of the last text (Vijñāna-bhairava-tantra) to come back to the Yoga Sutras where our journey together began 18 years ago (YIKES!). Stoma has often stated that one cannot return to the fundamentals too often and this is certainly true of this very deep and comprehensive text. Swami Veda went through the Sutras three times and each time he re-read his previous writings and lectures he would say\, “Who was the idiot who wrote that?!” Each time there are new insights. This talk will discuss why this map of spiritual practice is so useful and some of the particularities of its study that many modern students miss. There is a particular traditional way of study that is critical to really getting to the sweet juice in this beautiful spiritual fruit. (Yoga Alliance CE credits will be available for anyone who needs them.) \n  \nAll are welcome! Come for the entire evening\, or join at any time. There is no need to make reservations. Simply show up and enjoy yourself!\nWeekly Format:\n6:00 – 7:00: Hatha Yoga for Everyone! ($10)\n7:00 – 7:30: Guided Meditation (free!)\n7:30 – 8:30: Inspiring Presentation and discussion (donation appreciated)\n8:30 – 9:00: Vegetarian soup (suggested donation $3)\n9:00: Evening Prayers and Clean-up

SUMMARY:Thursday Satsang: "Community Music Night with Chris Young!" - September 19\, 2019
DESCRIPTION:Thursday Satsang – September 19\, 2019\n Community Music Night with Chris Young!\nA wonderful way to enjoy\, grow\, and maintain community is through playing and singing devotional music together. Expressing ourselves through music is a natural way to deepen and strengthen our relationship to the Divine\, to others\, and to ourselves. We’ll play some kirtan songs from popular artists\, some english language songs\, and maybe others! All meant to focus attention towards and open the heart to receiving a positive vibration. There will be lyric sheets with chord symbols and some percussion instruments available for those who would like to sing and play along (if inspired to\, please bring an instrument)\, or just come and enjoy the sound and community! \nThis is meant to be a community experience\, not a performance. As such\, we will intend to enjoy the silence between songs in order to deepen the experience of a rising and dissipating vibration. It is an opportunity to express; to receive and give without concern of skill level or musicality. We just want to make a joyful noise! \nChris Young is a longtime initiate and member of The Meditation Center\, and also a pretty ok musician! He has studied the yoga of sound since becoming a musician in his teens\, and loves to share his talents and joy for devotional music. \nAll are welcome! Come for the entire evening\, or join at any time. There is no need to make reservations. Simply show up and enjoy yourself!\nWeekly Format:\n6:00 – 7:00: Hatha Yoga for Everyone!
