Certain themes and issues are highlighted and being developed to a fuller expression over a period of time. We continue to grow and fulfill our potential as life unfolds. Our individual uniqueness is illumined by astrology, not conditioned by it.

Astrology expands our awareness of universal cycles so we move in harmony with the ever-changing rhythms of life.

Workshop with Annette Knopp at Greenwich Yoga
Saturday, May 3rd, 2008
2:00-4:00pm

As women living in a predominantly male-oriented culture, we mostly have lost connection with our Sacred Feminine Essence – our deeper ways of knowing, living, and being the love that we ultimately seek.

In this Workshop we will learn about feminine doorways, natural meditation, and nourishing practices that guide us to the understanding of who we really are, and be empowered by the presence and deep communion of women on similar journeys.

No previous experience is required – we invite you to join us. Please, dress comfortably so that you can relax and move freely.

ANNETTE KNOPP is a spiritual teacher, counselor, and Yoga instructor (RYT), who facilitates workshops and retreats in the U.S., and Internationally. She is a regular faculty member at the Omega Institute and one of the women teachers featured in the recent book “Ordinary Women, Extraordinary Wisdom – The Feminine Face of Awakening”. Annette’s background includes Eastern non-dual mediation and inquiry, as well as modern Western integrative approaches.

Join Bhante Wimala for a discussion on how daily mediation practice can help create balance in your life, reduce stress and improve your relationships through presence and compassion. Bhante will guide us through a mediation and discuss how we can integrate these practices into your life. This is a rare opportunity to study Buddhism with a knowledgeable, experienced and dedicated teacher. Bhante received the Global Peace Award in 2007 and is the director of Samadhi Buddhist Meditation Center in Prague, Czech Republic.

Bhante Wimala, a Theravada Buddhist monk from Sri Lanka since the age of 13, has been traveling, studying and teaching for more then 20 years. His practical spiritual teachings and down to earth approach make him available, encouraging and understandable. Bhante's philosophy emphasized the authenticity of experiencing (above mere speculating), a focus on "be-living" rather than "believing." Bhante explains how mediation functions as a healing force for the mind, he also discusses global problems such as the pollution and degeneration of our environment.

"Bhante Wimala's heartfelt concern for the suffering and the simple remedies he draws from the Buddha's teachings will be a source of strength for everyone confused by the pressures of modern life." -His Holiness The Dalai Lama

Her methodology is both creative and intellectually rigorous, drawing upon anatomy, Yogic philosophy and an abiding spirit of devotion.

Annelise was certified as a Yoga instructor in 2000 by Alison West of Yoga Union. She is also deeply influenced by Sharon Gannon and David Life of Jivamukti Yoga, where she served as a Karmi Yogi.

Improv comedy has become a wisdom tradition of its’ own and its lessons can bring out the best in us.
