“Philosophize This” – Conversation Group based on Stephen West’s podcast with the same name – Tuesday July 18th at 7 pm
This deeply engaging series introduces listeners to thinkers and ideas upon which our society is based, but in a way that is easy for non-philosophers to digest and understand.
Our discussion group will create a safe environment where we can gain knowledge while also sharing personal experiences as they relate to the topics presented in the podcast.
Listening to the episodes 13, 14 and 15 of the podcast is strongly recommended if possible.

Specialty Yoga Class With Rebel Yogi Satya – Friday July 21st and 28th 5 to 7 pm
CLASS DESCRIPTION
Babaji’s Kriya Hatha Yoga is part of a system that is designed for Self-Realization rather than gymnastics. Over two classes open to all levels you will learn the 18 postures of the system. (Each class will be complete in itself, so you can attend one or both!) Postures pair forward bends with backbends, followed by a full rest after each posture to explore the circulating energy. In addition to physical postures, there will be a focus on the breath, bandhas (muscular/energetic locks) and chakras. Each class will include a guided meditation as well as a dharma talk. The tools learned can be added to your current yoga practice and life. A booklet ($10) and a book ($20) will be available for those who want to dive deeper into the system and their yoga practice.
BIO
Satya has been teaching yoga since 2006. He was first initiated into Babaji’s Kriya Yoga in 2003. He has gone through three levels of initiation, as well as a 500-hour teacher training certification in Babaji’s Kriya Hatha Yoga. He teaches locally and has taught at festivals and excursions nationally and internationally and has been a guest on several podcasts the latest being https://youtube.com/live/4PlD0GL-8sA?feature=share9. He is a rebel and seeks to share with those who are willing to rebel against what keeps them from being authentic without apology. He can be contacted through Instagram @satyayogateacher.
Fee: $25

La Leche – New Moms Support Group– Friday, July 28th 10 am to 12 pm.
Come join us for this support group where you can share and learn from other moms.
La Leche league is an international volunteer run support group open to all families interested in lactating or providing human milk to their babies.
La Leche League was founded over 60 years ago when the founders (a small group of mothers) found that families were most successful when supported by their peers and it has continued with the premises of providing non bias support to local families.
