Agni Yoga Study Group

I would like to invite you to an Agni Yoga reading and study group. This is a "drop in" group, without obligation. We read the Agni Yoga books taking time to discuss their meaning and significance. Agni Yoga has nothing to do with physical discipline or asceticism. It is a spiritual teaching synthesizing ancient eastern beliefs with modern western thought. It is a philosophy concerned with the ethical aspects of daily life and balances self improvement with service. Reading these books has had a profound, beneficial effect on my life. I am a student, not an expert or teacher of this discipline, and I love studying it in community.

Facilitator: Paul Zweig, 303-758-3866

Date/Time: Every Thursday, 6-8pm; Spruce Hall

For more information or to download an Agni Yoga book, go to www.Agniyoga.org

Experience The Healing Method Of Medical Qigong

Jon Chavarria will demonstrate how Qi power can be channeled to eliminate both physical & emotional pain. This method called Tao Energetics is based on Chinese energy medicine, an ancient healing art. The results are experienced and felt instantly. Pain caused by physical, emotional, or trauma results in blocked energy. Once the blockage is located, an energetic correction is performed, focusing energy on the midline of the spine. This process may need to be repeated as more blockages are discovered. As a result, balance is restored. Jon will address any issue presented to him, as this method can be used in any situation to promote healing.

Facilitator: Medical Qigong Practitioner, Jon Chavarria

Dates/Times: 2nd Tues. each month 1/10, 2/14, 3/13 & 4/10; 7pm; in the Chapel

Series of Workshops/Classes

Quantum Transformation I

"The aim of this book is not just to knock down the prison walls but to fly over them" Deepak Chopra MD
If you are a seeker, a student of life, or a "transformer," this practical book study on "Awakening in Time" is meant for you. Jacquelyn Small, author and pioneer in Spiritual Psychology, invites us to move beyond labels into sacred purpose. Exercises, rituals, guided imagery, and group hypnosis are used to create a path into healing and wholeness. Ideas are integrated from the 12 steps, Western mysticism, Jungian thought, and the Chakra system, We move from codependence, defined by Jacquelyn as "the way we give our power away as human souls to intimates, to strangers, to projects or careers that don't come from our hearts, to societal standards, and even to a God we may not experience as connected to us at all" into our unique creativity and unfolding right relationships at all levels.

Facilitators: Arica King, MS, CCHT, & Leta Todd, MA Dates: Six alternating Thurs. Jan. 5 through March 15

Time: 7-9pm; Loft

Required Book: Call Arica or Leta to reserve "Awakening in Time" books for required reading; $15

Caretakers Workshop

This workshop is for people who have taken on the extremely difficult task of providing care for a loved one or friend who is experiencing chronic pain, a serious disability, or illness over a long period of time, sometimes with no clear end in sight. In this situation, caretakers can experience a wide range of emotions (including anger, guilt, sadness, anxiety, and more) resulting from the daily stress of being responsible for someone who is unable to fully care for themselves. People who step into the role of the caretaker often find that their lives are also drastically changed. They sometimes have to learn to manage economic, medical, legal, and even the smallest details of their own and others' lives. This workshop is an opportunity to meet others in similar situations, where they can share and learn ways to cope with their stresses and struggles. Participants will be encouraged to share their experiences and information that may be helpful to others. The possibility of an on-going support group will be discussed.

Facilitator: Mark T. Palmer, PhD

Date/Time: Sun. Jan. 8, 15, 22 & 29; 4-6pm

Cost: Free Heart of Service event: donations welcome

Registration: Dr. Palmer, 720-220-7827

Transitions in Recovery: A Guided Journey of Expressive Writing

Recovery is one of the biggest transitions of our lives. Transition is defined as reaction to a change in situation, roles, relationships, and life view significant enough to affect one's life and functioning. This three-week writing workshop will allow you to explore the three phases of transitions: endings or what we let go; the shaky neutral zone between the known and the new way; and new beginnings, in which we reach emotional acceptance and redefine who we are. Journal techniques will unearth fresh insights to help you move forward. Explorations are quick, easy, and reliably revealing. Recovery can be from addiction, compulsion, disordered eating, illness, habit or anything you define as a healing change. Therapeutic writing tools will help you understand your transition process and manage the range of feelings inherent in change.

Juicy Crones

Ongoing support group for "juicy crones" – that is, women aged 50 and up who want to enrich and expand their lives as they age, For many, including myself, we are surprised when we realize we're "50-something", "60-something", "70-something", etc., because we don't feel that "old" inside. Gone are the days of grandmother shoes and blue hair. Instead, we want to feel younger/more alive as we age. We will explore our feelings, fears and hopes about aging, discuss ways that we can maximize our individual potentials, creativity, and ability to live life to the fullest. We will look at the many resources available in this process including family, partners, friends, community, spiritual beliefs and healing methods. A dynamic and fun group with lots of participation and mutual support; open-ended and ongoing, limited to 10 participants.

Hide and Seek of Shame

Shame is like the game of Hide and Seek. Remember how you picked that perfect hiding spot so that no one could find you? That is where you can find Shame. Shame is the feeling that you are not good enough, unacceptable or a failure. When consumed by shame, we are afraid someone may find the flawed person we believe we are. At first it may have felt good to know you were not exposed, because if someone knew the real you they may not like you. By keeping Shame hidden, your distortions about yourself may feel magnified. The fear of being found out (your beliefs about yourself) intensifies, and creates isolation from others and our authentic selves. Shame is an emotion we all experience, but we don't typically talk about it. Come learn more about shame, how it impacts us and how to let go of your tightly held beliefs that keeps you in fear of being discovered.
