Rejuvenating Yoga
/ Feldenkrais Retreat
October 7 - 10, 2016 (Friday – Monday)
Presentation Center
19480 Bear Creek Road,
Los Gatos, CA 95033
Please join us for a rejuvenating body movement retreat
on Columbus Day weekend in the Santa Cruz Mountains. For three days and three
nights we will practice yoga, Feldenkrais, dance, hike and meditate at the
relaxing Presentation Center.
Located just 20 minutes from Silicon Valley and 30
minutes from the San Francisco airport, this land is a sanctuary away from home
filled with many beautiful redwood trees, wildlife, a lake, sunshine and
stillness. In between retreat offerings there will be plenty of free time to
indulge in hiking, swimming, a good book or a cup of tea in the natural habitat
all around.
What is Feldenkrais?
The Feldenkrais method consists of gentle movement
sequences all geared towards improving postural alignment, refining
coordination functions, and restoring our innate graceful movement. Each lesson will revolve around a particular
theme (such as opening the heart, the lower extremity and connection with the
earth etc.) and will be interwoven with empowerment tools & meditation.
What kind of yoga will we do?
In the morning we will engage in a brief active asana
practice to warm up the body, build strength and awareness of breath. In the
afternoon we will have a gentle Hatha and/or Yin yoga session to balance
energy, digestion and immune function. This work will complement the
Feldenkrais lessons of each day.
What should I expect to receive from these offerings?
The results of combining these two practices include
increased clarity, focus and freedom in your body and in your mind. Participants also report improved sleep,
digestion and experiencing and a wonderful opportunity to relax from the
business of day to day life.
All experience/ levels are welcome.

New Alchemy
Spinning Classes
Monday, October 10, 2016 at 7:30 PM - 9:30 PM
InterPlay
2273 Telegraph Ave,
Oakland, California 94612
These classes are an invitation to explore and deepen our
Alchemy Spinning practice –a powerful and yet accessible somatic modality at
the intersection of mindfulness.
Whirling, rather than being a goal or a destination,
becomes a spiral journey towards greater body wisdom, self-expression and
self-knowledge.
For years, Raquel Boluda, has been exploring the whirling
dances of the world to understand and distill their benefits, and to connect
these with other disciplines and somatic wisdom traditions. The result is a
truly unique discipline that bridges the somatic and the transpersonal realms,
and that opens up new frontiers of discovery to professional dancers, dance
lovers and novices alike.
The core of the practice is the connection between the
Heaven and Earth that gets established through our spinal column. This becomes
a gateway to experience a state of expanded consciousness and, simultaneously,
a state of complete presence.
In our practice we will use different forms of dance,
movement, breath work, meditation, and contemplative art making.
This practice is open to people of all ages, levels, and
physical conditions, as each person will be encouraged to find their own edges
for somatic exploration on their own terms.

On the Edge of the (Un)Known, Science and Nonduality

Dolce Hayes Mansion

San Jose, California 95136
I do not negate the world; I see it appearing in
consciousness, which is the totality of the known in the immensity of the
unknown.
― Nisargadatta Maharaj
What I see in Nature is a magnificent structure that
we can comprehend only very imperfectly, and that must fill a thinking person
with a feeling of humility. This is a genuinely religious feeling that has
nothing to do with mysticism.
― Albert Einstein
Both science and spirituality reflect the human urge to
know – that perennial itch to make sense of the world and who we are. This
search is an essential part of being human. We live life supported by
knowledge. However, the larger our knowledge the larger the shore of the
unknown becomes.
We probe reality the best we can with our tools of
understanding: structures, models, theories, myths, beliefs, teachings, etc.
These tools of understanding also define the limits our knowledge. Is it
possible to go beyond the limits of our tools? And what would it take?
This year at SAND we will explore that edge where
knowledge meets the unknown and the unknowable. We will navigate that space
where something else takes over – call it intuition, deeper knowing, trust,
surrender – a place from which new discoveries in science and realizations in
spirituality become possible. What is the horizon of our current knowledge, and
where are we expanding the edge of the unknown?
What if science and spirituality, while responding to our
collective aspiration to grow as a species in a world filled with mystery and
wonder, would no longer need to carry the burden of having all the answers?
What if our search is considered open-ended, rather then having to arrive at a
grand theory of life or at a final state of enlightenment? What if, while we
probe deeper into reality and who we are, we realize that the knowledge we
gather is just a stepping-stone and not the arrival at a final destination?
