Weekend UpdateGreetings Heartsong Community!
We are proud to be offering the teachings of two extraordinary teachers, on one extraordinary day, this Sunday, October 25, 2009!
It is simply synchronicity and logistics of travel and time that these two offerings are happening on the same day!
Tibetan Monk Khen Rinpoche makes his return visit to Heartsong every October, and this is the weekend he is free to be in East Longmeadow. We are grateful to have the chance once again to sit with this graceful teacher and hear his stories and his teachings on "Compassion in Tibetan Buddhism" and "Awakening Happiness."
Beryl Bender Birch is teaching at the Kripalu Center in Lenox, MA this weekend, and she kindly accepted Sheila's invitation to come to Heartsong and meet Khen Rinpoche, and then offer a Boomer Yoga Experience to our students. This is a rare opportunity to study with an internationally renowned yoga teacher who has been teaching classical yoga for 33 years, while training yoga teachers as "spiritual revolutionaries" since l980. In 2000 she was named by Yoga Journal as one of only seven American women in their "Innovators Shaping Yoga Today" issue. Boomer Yoga was published in March '09, with Sheila and Tony (and friends) as models in the book!
Join us for one or both of these events on Sunday! Make it a retreat day, and soak up the wisdom and insight of two master teachers and practitioners shining love and light, health and wellness, and reminding us that we can "find balance and preserve peace of mind, even in turbulent times." (Make a plan to walk to Panera Bread or down to Spoletto for a quick meal between workshops, or bring a bagged "light dinner" and eat at the studio!)
