A Course in Miracles
2024-01-17 19:00 - 20:30 UTC | France
A Course in Miracles: each week we begin our exploration by reading the short introduction which includes these words “the course does not aim at teaching the meaning of love for that is beyond what can be taught. It does aim however at removing the blocks to the awareness of Love’s presence which is your natural inheritance.”
Has any other subject been written or sung about more often than love? Isn’t it the organizing principle of all religions? So popular and prominent in our daily discourse, yet so elusive. And don’t we yearn for an alternative to fear, guilt and hatred, suspicion and divisiveness?

Whether a beginner, a student of many years, or an on-again/off again inquirer, you are invited to join us in seeking to learn how to love and enjoy being in love. It’s not a solo performance. Only together, is love manifest.

What is Kirtan?
Kirtan is transcendental spiritual music and a meditation practice also described as Bhakti Yoga or Nada Yoga. Its origins come from Eastern Indian and Budhist culture.
Kirtan is a call and response chanting from the vocal leader to the audience, who then recites or echos back the same lyrics. By chanting in this way, the sounds and voices raise a very high conscious vibration that reverberates within and outside of you, opening up energy channels.
This practice calms and quiets the mind. You don’t need to have any previous experience to attend a Kirtan. All spiritual faiths are welcome.

$20 Donation at the door Pay Cash or with Venmo (settings on friends and family)

Bring yoga blanket or cushions and perhaps a bottle of water. Chairs will be available. Mask wearing is optional.

Bollywood Dance for Kids

Kids between the age of 4-8 learn and perform Bollywood dance.
Gift your kid a piece of a fun culture. See your kids shine with all the confidence when they perform, your eyes will tear up and your heart will fill with pride. Dancing (especially Bollywood) and performing is one of the best ways to build confident personality and presence, saying this based on my personal experience. Let them start early so they don’t have those could’ve should’ve moments, and they learn to venture into the world with 100% of their ability. And did I mention the health and happiness benefits?
Yup! All this just by dancing on some of the awesomest Bollywood music for 10 Saturdays.
