FREE Movie & Discussion: Another Earth

Friday            June 29            7-9pm    FREE

” Another Earth” is a critically acclaimed recent release movie with wide distribution. It is an interesting representation of another apparent alternate Earth which may be an exact duplicate of our home world. And it is approaching our planet and will soon be close enough to visit. Our scientists and media endlessly discuss the possibilities of “What

if”. The scientific and spiritual potentials are accurately represented, but not overdone. The surprise ending leaves open the door for another movie to sequel “Another Earth”. Plan to stay for discussion to follow.

Movie & Discussion: The Magic Hand of Chance

Friday    June 15                7-9pm                   $10

“The Magic Hand of Chance” is literally how magic changed the life of a professional magician permanently for his better.

The writings of Louise Hay and Wayne Dyer are amply manifested in this true story of the magical power of belief. “The Magic Hand Of Chance” is a true story of a clumsy magician whose life is turned around by the silent intervention of two sympathetic clowns who convince him of his greatness, and lo and behold, he becomes great. A powerful true story of how your thoughts can change your life. This is the fourth installment of the Hay House series, “Tales of Everyday

Magic” hosted by the director of the series, Michael Goorjian.

Gong Meditation

Sunday  June 10        5-6:30pm                   $25

This hour-long Sound Bath will be comprised of a few minutes of Tibetan Singing Bowls at both the beginning and ending, with a Paiste

Earth Gong in between. This event is called a “Sound bath” because you are bathed in sound, while remaining fully clothed in a comfortable position. Bring your own yoga mat if you prefer to lie on the floor. The vibrations of the Tibetan Singing Bowls and Earth Gong coax the brain into Alpha and/or Theta states, resulting in the autonomic nervous system switching to parasympathetic dominance. When the brain goes into Alpha or Theta it then slows our heart rate, lowers blood pressure, releases stored tension and toxins, and more.
