Upcoming Events
Holiday Caroling at the Nursing Homes
Everyone is invited to join us as we visit several local nursing homes to sing them cheerful songs of the season and bring them some holiday treats. This will be a fun service activity for all ages, so bring your family, friends and neighbors. We will conclude our outing with a meal together at Sweet Tomatoes in Sandy. Meet at Bonnie’s home at 191 East 7500 South, Midvale at 2pm on Sunday December 13th .
Christmas Project
We will be helping two young girls this Holiday season, Chaneece Lamb, 17 years old and Aubrey Lamb, 9 years old. These two girls lost their mother to cancer this past year and do not know their father. They are presently living with friends because they have no family. So we will be helping them out this Christmas to hopefully make the season a little brighter for them
Transformational Relaxation/Yoga Nidra
Join us any and/or every Monday evening for eight weeks for a transformational yoga nidra course starting on November 9, 2009 at 6:30pm at the Salt Lake Center for Spiritual Living, 870 East North Union Ave., Midvale UT.
Yoga nidra is integrative sleep of the yogis-a unique combination of alert awareness and deepest relaxation. It takes you to the higher centers of consciousness far beyond ordinary waking consciousness. In these deep states, the mystical integrative powers of the third eye and ananda or bliss consciousness are activated giving you direct access to the extraordinary powers of your own intuition, creativity, health and abundance.
Yoga Nidra goes beyond wakefulness and dreaming. It is an awakening of the deep, deep stillness of what is asleep within you.
Costa Rica Retreat
As many of you know I have been exploring options for a spiritual retreat in Costa Rica, this has been in the planning for several years initially inspired by Jim Sorenson at a board meeting a few years ago. Many of you have put down deposits on the retreat. With the intended property donated to us by Jim Sorenson not coming through it would be very expensive for us to have our own retreat, costing around $2,500 per person for one week, not including airfare. Therefore I will be organizing a retreat to Costa Rica for everyone who is interested through Omega. An all inclusive week long retreat with a personal tent, all meals, all workshops, daily yoga, evening events, use of all the facilities including library, pool, beaches etc. is $1,195 per person. You can register for the retreat directly through Omega, however in our next newsletter I will let you know which week this winter the Center for Awakening will be attending Omega as a group.
For all those who put a deposit on the retreat, (I have a list of all of your names), regardless of how much you paid, as promised, I will pay $100 towards your 1010 Costa Rica retreat at Omega.
