Experience The Side Effects Of Play!



Join in November 5th for a full day of conversation, movement, breath, bread baking, meditation and art!

Sweet Bread Baking with Pat Joski
9:00-10:00
“Baking not only demands concentration and presence, but also offers a bit of
sanctuary from your daily life. Turning a shapeless mix of flour and
water into a supple ball of dough evokes the transformation of the mind
from messy to manageable.” Learn the step by step process as you bring a stillness
within you and your kitchen.*Please bring an apron!*



Qigong: The Ancient Art of Beautiful Movement with Kathy Mc Cabe
10:00- 11:00
The ancient healing art of Qigong (Chee Gung) has provided benefit for
centuries by calming the mind, elevating the spirit, and increasing
energy level. The gentle free flowing movements of Qigong encourages chi
(energy) flow throughout the meridian system, thus providing benefits
much the same as acupuncture treatments. I have practiced for 17 years
because it feels so wonderful to move the body in gentle meditative
ways. I really believe its the enjoyment of the practice that keeps me
involved and the healing? A great side effect.




Navigating Through Stress Gracefully with Sarah Starr
11:00-12:00

Practice techniques to transition from a life of mind
chatter and worry to a life created from the heart, filled with insight,
delight and laughter! This segment alternates with gentle movement to
open the body, meditation practice, breathing techniques to create
optimal health and exercises that focus on who you creating your LIFE in
the moment.


12:00-1:00
Lunch

Remembering Who I AM with Melody Jerabek

1:00-2:00
Remember how to quickly gain inner peace and joy, in
spite of what the world is throwing at us! Become aware of the inner joy
that so many of us have given away or been to busy to allow ourselves
to experience. Learn how to flow with the changes that are happening
within us, our families, jobs and life itself.


Living Joyfully, Forgiveness with Angel Rude
200-3:00
Look at ways to forgive ourselves, people in
our past and present, and the world around us... Allowing forgiveness
gives us room to grow and accept new gifts!




Creative Play with Becki Joski
3:00-4:00
Most of us have no idea of our real creative height. We are much more gifted
than we know. Our natural creativity flourishes when we take time to
pause, allow ourselves to slow down and savor life. Enjoy time to tap
into the rich creative possibilities within, play and discover your
hidden artist!

Enjoy My Review for Hay House | Find Magic and Meaning in "The Map" by Colette Baron-Reid

Colette Baron-Reid's, "The Map" holds metaphorical places such as "The Crystal Canyon of Echoes", where your words and self image reflect out to the world and "The Vandalized House" signifying where we may have made choices where we were disrespectful of our self or been violated along our journey. The landscape continually changes depending on choices you've made in life and what your soul may need to learn. "There are season's and cycles for everything. No storm stays in one place, so even if you are in turbulent seas, fearing your boat will capsize, the winds will move along, as the always do, and the waters will become still once more." As we grow and discover the hidden treasures of every experience, our landscape transforms and changes with us.

From"The Wizard" who represents your inner wisdom to" the Goblin" who represents the ego, Colette gives a new perspective on how to manage the emotions that are continually going on within. I especially love her portrayal of the ego as the Goblin, making the ego relatable and easy to see how it influences us every day! If you see the ego as a little pet Goblin, you don't want to kill the pet, just train it to behave!!! When my ego acts up taunting," See I told you couldn't do it" or That was a dumb idea," I pause and see my trickster Goblin, whining at the door, invite it in and give it a hug. From there I can ask, "What is it that my Spirit knows to be true in this moment?" "Name him, call him out and you take away his power."

Colette's "The Map" might make a skeptic raise an eye brow a few times, yet in reading this book, I found another opportunity to reflect and make peace with where I am. In a playful way she named situations I deal with as a parent of a teen and young child, a wife and an entrepreneur, reminding me it can take courage to surrender to the present. The ego will come up with a thousand reason's to keep pushing, "If you don't do it, it won't get done," "there's not enough time in the day," all fear based thoughts that keep me in overwhelm. But it's in those moments that I breathe... soften my relentless drive and surrender to the path as it is revealed to me one moment at a time, transforming "The Sticky Swamp" where I feel stuck, to the "Field of Dreams," where I must go to plant the seeds of grace and intent!

We may not like to face where we are, but when we are truthful and honest with "The Wizard", we're at the first step of changing the course! "The Map" helps you to set your compass and head towards your desired destination, and you may find yourself strolling on "Balancing Beach!"

Thank you to Hay House for giving me this free book to review!

Yoga Immersion Weekend with Heaven Meets Earth, Evanston, Ill. | Happy Yoga Testimonial


Hi Sarah,
I felt inspired by you and your instruction this weekend. You are down to earth and so joyful that I could not imagine anyone being sad in your presence. You looked and sounded like sunshine to me.
I relaxed with a peaceful feeling during the heart imagery in savasana, in which you directed an inbreath through the back of the chest into the heart and an exhale through the front of the chest.
I found that your instructions were consistently given with a positive feeling so that if I was not ready for the pose, I did not feel "less than" someone else who was proficient. I especially liked the directive to try the arm balances for fun-that the level of my spirituality did not depend on accomplishing these advanced postures. Your positive attitude encouraged me to do more, and I felt the benefits afterward.
Thank you for your energetic and powerful instruction.
Kelly

Join in the FUN Yoga Journal Adventure!!!


This month I became aware of a new opportunity to share what I am most passionate about. I have a special favor to ask you. I am in the running for a talent search with Yoga Journal. If you have a moment, check out the link below and if you like my submission, click on the link to vote!

I would be honored and in deep appreciation if you'd share it with your friends, and you can vote once a day every day until April 21st!




I also have included a fun short video in the making of our photo submission! Take a moment to breathe and feel the exhilaration!


It was 20 degree's that day, yet I wanted to include the amazing beauty of Mother Nature in our photo submission. I warmed up ind

oors, gabbed my boots and coat and put on my sense of adventure. I knew the snow bank wouldn't hold me with this arm balance, so I dragged my son's former baby bed mattress out and snuggled it into the snow drift as best I could! As you can tell from the video, it was still a little wobbly, but we got the shot!



Yoga has inspired me to flow through the rough times gracefully, to breathe and connect to my higher self, the part that looks forward to life, with eagerness and the "child like" qualities we all possess. Whether on the mat trying a challenging arm balance pose or climbing a cliff to shoot a new video, yoga has inspired me to trust the process of life and find the balance between sweet surrender and never giving up. This calm steadfastness continually leads me inward, to the unshakable grace that resides within all of us.

Namaste,

Sarah

A Course in Weight Loss | Love It! Enjoy my review for Hay House | What Have You Got To Lose??

From the age of 13, my own relationship with food has been love/hate. I tried endless diets and non-stop exercise, all done from a space of low self worth. This type of motivation is unsustainable and draining. In physical and spiritual exhaustion, I finally made the decision to love myself enough to interrupt the old patterns of fear and self loathing, replacing them with kindness & compassion. In Marianne Williamson's newest book, "A Course in Weight Loss," she asks us to create a new kind of behavior through the processes offered, rather than the old patterns of self-destruction. "It serves you at this point to understand the power of making ritual. This course is seeking a lot of you...from making lists, to writing out feelings, to procuring new items, to doing ceremony, and so forth. It is very much a to-do kind of book."

It was not until I had a real relationship with my Self, one that was filled with nurturing, compassion and love, that my body would thrive in health and vitality. With the reading of this wonderful book, I've also reinstated a forgotten family ritual, blessing my food, thanking all who have helped to bring it to my table. In doing this I eat slower, relishing and tasting my food, rather than gobbling it down in front of my computer!

As we shift our attitude towards food to a sacred one, we take care of our bodies so we can be of better service for the world, becoming a conduit of joy. As we deepen our relationship with God and ourselves, we begin to see our bodies as a temple for our soul, a sacred container for our spirit. Marianne writes, "You have placed your problems in Divine hands, and Divine power is transforming you. That is why you are turning every step of your rebuilding process into a sacred experience. You're taking every step with God in mind." Give it a try, what have you got to lose?

A special thanks for this free book to review from Hay House!!!

Namaste,
Sarah
