This 8-week class will focus on two aspects of waking up: meditation and mindful attention in your everyday life. Each week we will look at a different aspect of meditation that will help develop a skilled attentiveness in your practice. We will then focus on an aspect of daily life to which you can bring mindful attention. This will include activities such as eating, listening, walking, and working with compassion and loving-kindness in action. We will spend part of one class on the grounds, weather dependent. 
In this yin-style yoga practice, long-held, passive stretches emphasize release of deep connective tissues and aid in increased mobilization and strength in the joints, ligaments, and deep fascial networks of the body typically overlooked in more active exercise. Participants will be led through guided meditation, a flow of several postures held passively for several minutes each with the aid of props to provide comfort and support, and an extended shavasana (resting pose) with optional hands-on massage. 
In this four-week class, we will look at natal charts and apply the various rules of interpretation learned in beginning astrology classes. Each week we will examine and interpret at least one or two charts. These horoscopes will be a combination of famous people in the news, famous people who have passed on, charts the students want to look at (family members, friends, or just about anyone), and even a mystery chart or two.
This 8-week program is based on the New York Times bestselling book Notes from the Universe by Mike Dooley. Based on the principle that "thoughts become things," the program encourages people to examine beliefs and thoughts that have been limiting and may be leading to struggles and negative choices, then helps them discover ways to redirect those beliefs and thoughts. This is an empowering program for people who find themselves in difficult situations, those beginning a new life journey, and everyone looking to bring more peace and joy into their lives.
