Satsang at Soul Spa
facilitated by the Ashtanga Yoga Fellowship/Yoga for Life
Suggested donation: $10.00

Saturday, October 13th
7:00 pm to 8:30 pm

"Satsang" is a sanskrit word meaning "a gathering of like minded people", and in this case, like minded people who want to be happy!At Satsang we sing Kirtan - a form of devotional or Bhakti Yoga. Kirtan is done in a call and response format in both Sanskrit and English. We have readings from a wide variety of spiritual teachers, and we usually incorporate a short meditation. In between each Kirtan there is a beautiful space to relax in before the next. Kirtan is a rejuvenating and Joyful practice that charges the atmosphere with spiritual energy, opens your heart, and puts a big smile on your face!

About Spiritual Cinema Circle
Here's an insider movie industry secret you may not be aware of: Many of the most visionary, inspiring movies made each year are never even released, so you never get a chance to see them.Why? Because most mainstream Hollywood distributors simply don't believe there's an audience for these kinds of movies. Sure, occasionally a film like Whale Rider or What The Bleep breaks through, but for every one of these there are dozens of others that would touch you just as deeply... if only you could find a way to see them.Soul Spa is very fortunate to be able to offer our intimate space for a monthly gathering featuring the wonderful movies offered by Spiritual Cinema Circle. Our movie host, Howard Malach has been inspired by these movies since they became available to the public and offers his time and enthusiasm toward helping others experience them as well.By joining in this movement for quality entertainment, you will also be taking steps to raise the consciousness of the world today by supporting and experiencing truly nourishing entertainment. It is time for us all to own our power!

More information:

This planned sitting of the people of earth will demonstrate the love and faith we feel for the goodness of our world and her inhabitants. We are the catalyst to the healing of earth. A true believer has the power of ten fold, so if you only think you may believe, know that the faith of the others will boost your own faith and the power will be intensified. That is why we must all sit at the same time. We will feed each others power, strengthening the force of delivery and compounding the energy we send into the core of our home. Each and every one of us is important alone, but together we are a very powerful source of creative energy. Remember we are all a piece of God, and that energy of creation lives in all of us.

The time has been set for July 17, 2007 at 11:11 Greenwich Mean Time. document.write(localTime);- 07:11 (7:11 AM) in your time zone - I have been given no indication about why this date and time have been chosen, but this date has been told to me over and over again. I have been asked to bring together as many humans as possible, throughout the world from every corner of the globe, to simply sit and pray or meditate for one hour during that time. Hopefully, with your help, we will amass a union of humans, such as the world has never seen. Loving humans with one intention - to heal our planet and awaken our souls to our true purpose. To become one with our Source of Light.
