SUMMARY:Thursday Satsang: "The Transformative Power of Silence" with Jim Nelson - September 13\, 2018
DESCRIPTION:Thursday Satsang on September 13\, 2018\n“The Transformative Power of Silence”\nwith Jim Nelson\nSilence is the greatest communication.  It is the language which transcends the static of our minds and allows us to experience the true Self beyond the limitations of mind.  Being in communion\, in unity with that Self brings peace\, joy\, and love unencumbered by our ideas of peace\, joy\, and love.  In the fullness of Self\, our cravings\, fruitless seeking\, and loneliness end.  Our exhausting journey in the desert of the senses is satiated and questions and desires naturally abate.  Silence is like a “short cut” between two non-points\, a direct route to our Center—where we come home to pure Being.  Psychologist Jim Nelson will lead a short Swami Veda meditation\, which progressively brings the meditator into subtler realms of silence.  The session will be interactive\, contemplative\, and include research proven benefits of Silence\, and personal stories from people who recently attended the Silence retreat at Dunrovin. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n6:00pm Hatha Yoga\n7:00pm Meditation guided by Jim Nelson\n7:30pm Presentation by Jim Nelson\n8:30pm Soup\n9:00pm Prayers and Meditation\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\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: "Problems and Practicalities of Immortality" with Paul Emerson Ph.D. - November 1\, 2018
DESCRIPTION:Thursday Satsang – November 1\, 2018\n“Problems and Practicalities of Immortality” with Paul Emerson Ph.D.\n  \nThe period of Halloween\, All Saints Day and All Souls Day is a time to contemplate “ultimates” such as death and the periods beyond death. Many of our faith traditions have ideas of “ever lasting life” and certainly popular culture is fond of dramatizing the “undead” in all of their various (usually horrifying) forms. From a yoga perspective the idea of immortality is something which is simply a fact. That does not mean\, however\, that it is without problems or unworthy of our contemplation. Moreover\, there are various yogic practices which have been described in the tradition as extending physical life (at least for the advanced practitioners). This discussion will try to address some of these ideas and make them practical.

SUMMARY:Thursday Satsang: "Biofeedback and Stress Management" with Daniel Hertz - January 17\, 2019
DESCRIPTION:Thursday Satsang – January 17\, 2019\nBiofeedback and Stress Management\nwith Daniel Hertz\n  \nBiofeedback is well-recognized as a powerful\, non-invasive\, and relatively simple way to measure subtle changes in the emotional and physiological state.  The goal is to learn self-regulation.  Self-regulation skills are a prerequisite to learning stress management skills.  These same skills also allow us to check and refine the breathing and relaxation skills used in the meditation process.  The three keys to learning self-regulation will be discussed\, and there will also be demonstrations of the equipment. Sensors include respiration\, heart rate\, skin temperature\, muscle tension\, and skin conductance. \nDaniel Hertz (MS\, BCB\, E-RYT 500) has been on the faculty of The Meditation Center in Minneapolis since 1995 and has been offering individual Biofeedback sessions since 2007.  Please see the Biofeedback link on The Center’s home page for more information. Daniel is internationally certified as a Biofeedback practitioner through BCIA.org.  He is also the author of Swami Hari: I am a simple forest monk\, which is available on Amazon.  All profits from the sale of the book go to SRIVERM\, the school in the remote Himalayas founded by Swami Hari.
