SUMMARY:Yoga in the Sanctuary
DESCRIPTION:Yoga is a practice that brings together the mind and body.  In fact\, yoga means “to yoke” or unite.   It is an ancient healing practice that is both physical and spiritual\, incorporating postures\, breath\, and meditation.  Yoga heals!   Yoga provides relief from numerous forms of trauma\, anxiety\, and physical stiffness.  It also builds a strong physical and spiritual core.\n\n\nJoin us every Monday from 7-8 pm for a vinyasa flow that will strengthen and energize as well as promote flexibility and balance.  We will also experience inner peace by the closing meditation called Shivasana.  Please bring a mat and water bottle\, and the class meets in the beautiful sanctuary.  There is no registration required\, and the cost per class is $10 or a food pantry donation (the pantry is located outside the center).  Class will not meet on federal holidays.  Venmo: Jennifer-Kurz-2.

SUMMARY:A Course in Miracles
DESCRIPTION:A Course in Miracles was channeled by Jesus in the 60’s to a Columbia University medical school faculty member\, perhaps to help us remember the message he came to teach when he walked on this earth. \nEach 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.” \nHas 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? \nWhether 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. \nWe meet by ZOOM\, every Wednesday from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. \nZOOM LINK: https://commonstreet.zoom.us/j/92894618915?pwd=brWWjSasbqK5tCarEqlP4NUnpA5F3T.1
