An Invitation to Dance QiGong
by Karen Steinbrecher
 “Dear ones, let’s anoint this earth with dance!†From a year with Hafiz, translated by Daniel Ladinsky.
I write this on a cold February morning with a vision in my mind’s eye of spring. My vision is of green, seeds sprouting, with green shoots emanating from the wood, for this is the time of the Wood element in Traditional Chinese Medicine. We have transitioned to the Wood element. Let us celebrate! Practicing Qigong enables you to let go of the increasing pressures, the fast pace of life, and bring you back, in touch with yourself.
We, you and I, are the Earth, and we are Heaven, we are the Universe. When we practice the healing dance of Qigong, we work (Gong) to balance Yin (Earth) with Yang (Heaven) as we align body, mind and spirit.

» Qigong practice is led by Karen Steinbrecher karensteinbrecher@msn.com on Thursdays @ 2 p.m. and 6:15 p.m. for 55 minutes.
» The cost is $10. |

Disposable
by Dean Solon
sitting… with the seeing… with the feeling…
all the thoughts, all these thoughts … are nonsensical,
all the beliefs, all these beliefs… are nonsensical,
all the drama, all this drama… is nonsensical.
Sitting… with the bliss that all the thoughts, all the beliefs, all the drama…
Are perfectly all right
And are disposable.
i may rest in this,
i may ripple in this,
i may remember this,
in all the moments of a life.

During our time together, we open to and explore the themes of Divine Love and Mystery found in the wisdom teachings of Rumi, Hafiz, Rilke, Kahlil Gibran, and others.
Reading poetry aloud, listening in silence to poetry being read, and sharing the ways the words move us and confuse us and inspire us, there is no one way to be Present for these evenings. We invite you to join us on the adventure.
