Fall 2010 Schedule

This weekend program invites us to become curious about our personal energy patterns and how they affect every experience of our life. The use of colors, postures, meditation practice and exercises, evokes the five different styles of energy, or personality types, found in Buddhist teachings. These styles describe different ways we relate to ourselves and the world from our clarity, expansiveness, passion, action and sense of being. If we relax with the energy, our inherent wisdom guides us; if we contract against it, the energy is forced into distortion. Yet the wisdom energy is always available when we learn to pay attention and develop maitri, loving kindness, towards ourselves.
