Shamanism

Offering of sound to the temple you reside is a purification process. The space within is cleansed and is receptive to what is. The Sounds offered in this session may intensify your presence. And that, offering presence is said to be healing . The function of the instrument Gong and Singing Bowls are commonly used in sacred places to induce quietude and silence – the cosmic background Sound and space where life thrives best. This is a simple and gentle method to evoke stillness. And as a consequence, the act of doing is refined to be meditative and focused.

Capacity of event is number of tables X 4. Having a waitlist does not mean event is full. It is for me to prioritize people as per the following clause: *Priority is given to regulars, past attendees, intermediate and above level players, players who have their private message function switched on and people whom I have met before. If I am unable to contact you, I cannot ask for your availability and skill level etc and you will be stuck in the waitlist forever and ever.* This is to ensure that the skill level of players are decent and to eliminate no shows. • Find us at the following tables in bishan sports hall.. 1,2,4,5,6 Ensure you are feeling well before taking part.

Rest and reconnect to your True Nature with Yoga Nidra and awaken to a life of unshakable peace and wellbeing. Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep) is derived from the ancient tantric practice and is a unique combination of modern science and ancient yoga teachings. It is a guided mindfulness-based practice that focuses on body sensing, breathing techniques, emotional relaxation and guided consciousness meditation. Backed by science and research, the practice has been proven to assist with deep rest, stress, anxiety, insomnia, pain management and PTSD. Yoga Nidra can be a loving and supportive practice to living your best life. Life can be hard at times, sometimes really hard and we could all use a little support, self-care/love and rest from the mayhem. In this highly regenerative meditative state, we gently allow the sound and vibrations from the Gongs to shift and release stagnant energy and tension accumulated in the bodies. You can restore and rejuvenate your body, heal and recover from illness, and re-wire your brain for greater mental and emotional balance and resiliency.

*Introducing A Journey Into Self - a series that invites you to pause and turn your attention inward, through creative exploration and contemplative practice. This intimate series offers a doorway into deepening your understanding of and relationship with yourself—through poetry, art, and reflective journaling.* *In our special Valentine's Day edition of A Journey Into Self, we'll be using poetry as our first medium of exploration.* ​We want to be seen, to belong, to be loved. Despite being separate entities protecting our own self interests, ***we feel an irresistible yearning to connect ourselves to a greater whole***. ## ​**Join us as we explore:** * ​why we feel separate yet yearn for connection * ​deeper dimensions of connection * ​connecting with our inner or higher self * ​the unity that underlies all life ​**Poetry...** ​...is one of the ways humanity has expressed this yearning for connection, especially that of a much deeper one. Good poetry almost always forces us to look deeper into ourselves, to look closely at our inner struggles and pave a way for higher aspirations to shine through the mud. ​We’ll be writing our own poems on what connection means after a short meditation, allowing inspiration to flow from this deeper place of unity and oneness where connection does not need to be sought. ## ​**Format** 1. ​Sharing (15 min) 2. ​Discussion (20 min) 3. ​Meditation (5 min) 4. ​Poetry writing (20 min) 5. ​Poetry reading and sharing (15 min) ## ​**More about the Singapore Lodge Theosophical Society** ​*Founded in 1889, the Theosophical Society in Singapore is part of a global network that seeks to foster the pursuit of wisdom, compassion, and universal brotherhood. Rooted in the Greek word theosophia (divine wisdom), the Theosophy Society welcomes seekers belonging to any religion or to none.* ​*The Society offers resources, educational programs, and a community dedicated to open-minded inquiry into world religions, philosophy, science, and the arts in order to understand the wisdom of the ages, respect the unity of all life, and explore spiritual self-transformation.*

In our world there are 4 universal elements: Earth, Air, Fire, Water. These four powerful elements represent the forces of Nature and work in perfect harmony to nourish one another. These elements are a profound and essential part of who we are and our origin. The element of Air represents the transforming quality of lightly and allow us the possibility to change softly and actively. In this sound journey, release any energy you might have taken on in daily life that is not yours; such as any old beliefs, any patterns, and instead choose to focus on ‘Being true to yourself’. This meaningful session focuses on opening up your mind to the universe, to the possibility of connecting to energy vortexes and receive healing energy from the universe to yourself. *\*If you have your favourite crystals, we suggest you to bring them along with you and use them for support during the session.*

Full Moon is when the sun illuminates the entire moon, making her full, round, and bright. It represents completion, abundance and fulfillment. When everything is in full illumination, we are able to see with greater clarity what is or not working. It is a time to celebrate our growth, track our progress and reflect on how far we have come. Join us in this Full Moon sound bath to express gratitude to yourself and celebrate your abundance. Let this also be your time to release, let go, and be free of what no longer serves you. You will also explore the use of journal prompts for cultivating gratitude and self-love, oracle cards for additional guidance and insights, and positive affirmations to help you move forward.

Dale Gnidovec, Curator of the Orton Hall Museum of Geology at The Ohio State University, will be presenting a program he has wanted to share with us for a long time: Plate Tectonics. His description of his program: Continents on the move - Nothing in Earth history makes sense without moving continents - it tells us why mountains, volcanoes, minerals, and fossils are where they are. This talk examines the evidence for continental drift, why it was disbelieved, and explains how the more-encompassing theory of plate tectonics was developed and eventually proven. Dale is an energetic, incredibly knowledgeable, and very entertaining speaker and this will be another wonderful program by Dale. Hope to see you there! Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid.

Can two girls—one enchanted, one the enchantress—save their kingdom and each other? Two hundred years ago, a slighted deity stole the magic from Auréal and vanished without a trace. But seventeen-year-old Odile has a plan. All her life, her father, a vengeful sorcerer, has raised her for one singular task: infiltrate the royal palace and steal the king’s crown, an artefact with enough power to restore magic. But to enter the palace, she must assume the identity of a noblewoman. She chooses Marie d’Odette: famed for her beauty, a rumored candidate for future queen…and Odile’s childhood-friend-turned-sworn-enemy. With her father’s help, Odile transforms Marie into a swan and takes her place at court. But when the king is brutally murdered and her own brother is accused, her plans are thrown into chaos. Desperate to free her brother, Odile is forced to team up with none other than elegant, infuriating Marie, the girl she has cursed…and the girl she can’t seem to stop thinking about despite her best efforts. To make matters worse, there are whispers that the king’s murder was not at the hands of man, but beast. Torn between loyalty to her father and her growing feelings for Marie, Odile becomes tangled in a web of treachery and deceit. To save her kingdom, she must find the true path to magic…and find the real killer before they—or it—strikes again.

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected. The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia
