Dear All, This session is mainly for the people who want to learn kundalini yoga/meditation in a traditional way. Traditionally the master will transfer his/her kundalini energy to the student to activate his important chakras (energy centre) including Third Eye and Crown Chakra. The student can start to feel his/her Kundalini Energy is rising from their base of the spine and feeling the energy vibration(Consciousness) in the third eye (the space between the eyebrows) from the Kundalini Activation. This session is helpful for the beginners who want to learn simple yoga-meditation exercises also. This is a general session to experience your inner kundalini energy. But if you need proper kundalini activation(Shaktipat), then pre-registration is mandatory. **What is included in this session?** Simple stretching practices for Hip and Spine (not complicated, even beginners can do) Kundalini Breathing Techniques Sound Energy (Mantra) Meditation Energy Healing Techniques Formal Kundalini Activation (optional and only for pre-registered people) Chakra Meditation Yoga Nidra (Relaxation) **Some of the benefits of Kundalini Energy Activation are:** Keeps the body healthy Mind attains its natural peaceful state, so the meditation becomes easy. Breathing pattern will be harmonized Stress release and peace Clear & sharp intellect More intuition Inner happiness Clairvoyance and Clairvision and to the ultimate SELF realization (which will lead to the blissful state - our true state) with enough years of practise **DONATION BASIS** **About the Teacher who conducts this session:** The kundalini wisdom teacher Jayaprakash is from India. He is practising kundalini yoga for the since 2005 under the guidance of Self Realized Indian Master "GuruMahan". He is teaching kundalini yoga since 2008 as part of a non-profit organization "Maha Shakthi Yogam Switzerland". He teaches Yoga/Meditation/Pranic Healing/Stress Relief courses in various places of Germany and Switzerland. He is the authorized kundalini yoga wisdom teacher from UPF(India) to give kundalini initiations (Shaktipat) with the Grace and Protection of his Master. All these events are conducted for non-profit purpose. Donations are collected on behalf of Swiss non-profit organization (Verein) "Maha Shakthi Yogam - Switzerland" **Eligibility:** Anyone can attend the session even if they don't have previous yoga/Meditation experiences. **Dress:** Wear a comfortable dress if possible yoga dress. We provide the yoga mat. **Please RSVP only you are really interested and coming ! Limited Seats !** **About Kundalini Shaktipat:** In every human being there is a source of natural energy that the yogis call the kundalini. In order to evolve in the yogic path, no matter what our path, the kundalini must be active. For most of us, the kundalini lies dormant at the bottom of the spine in the base chakra known as the Muladhar. When it awakens, it ascends through the chakras until it reaches the highest chakra, the Sahasrar. When that occurs, we merge with our True Self and attain SELF realization (our true nature). Shaktipat is the transfer of spiritual energy from the teacher to the student in order to awaken the kundalini. This process is compared to lighting one candle with another that is already lit and glowing. When the teacher is connected with the fully realized master and the energy is completely within his or her control, shaktipat initiation ensures that the student’s energy will remain active and stable. "Electricity is present everywhere, but there can be light only when the switch is turned on. Similarly the true master manifests the consciousness in the disciple through shaktipat.” **HAPPINESS is our TRUE Nature, which comes from within not from outside !**

(Scroll down for English) WAS IST BREATHWORK UND WIE WIRKT ES Breathwork (tiefe, verbundene Atmung) ist eine kraftvolle Atemtechnik, welche gleichzeitig auf der Bewusstseins-, der emotionalen sowie der körperlichen Ebene wirkt und dadurch schnelle Transformation und Selbstheilung ermöglicht. Körperliche Wirkung: Breathwork kann Dir dabei helfen kann, Stress, innere Anspannung/Verspannungen abzubauen, Schmerzen zu lindern und die Körperwahrnehmung zu verbessern, mehr Energie und Lebendigkeit zu spüren, tiefer zu schlafen und den eigenen Körper mehr zu lieben. Emotionale Wirkung: Die tiefe, verbundene Atmung kann Dir wieder Zugang geben zu unterdrückten Emotionen (z.B. Wut, Angst, Trauer), welche Dich bis anhin blockiert haben. Du lernst, sie wieder zuzulassen, die Angst vor ihnen zu verlieren und den inneren Druck abzubauen. Gleichzeitig ermöglicht Dir Breathwork tiefe Zustände von Freude, Gelassenheit, Verbundenheit und (Selbst-)Liebe. Bewusstseinserweiternde Wirkung: Breathwork kann Dir ermöglichen, alte Glaubenssätze und Muster zu durchbrechen und (wieder) Zugang zu Deiner eigenen Wahrheit, Klarheit und Intuition zu finden. Du kannst Themen in Deinem Leben aus einer neuen Perspektive betrachten und dadurch verblüffende Zusammenhänge sowie Lösungen zu erkennen. Neue Ideen und Visionen können geboren werden. Meine Art des Breathworks basiert auf dem «Biodynamic Breath & Trauma Release»-Ansatz und enthält Elemente des holotropen Atmens («Holotropic Breathwork») von Stanislav Grof sowie des Transformational Breath von Judith Kravitz. ANGABEN ZUM WORKSHOP In den Live-Breathwork-Workshops folgt auf eine Aufwärmübung die ca. 1-stündige Atemsequenz. Diese wird von Berührung und kraftvoller Musik begleitet. Am Schluss folgt zu sanfter Musik eine ca. 15-minütige Entspannungsphase. Danach gibt es eine Pause, um wieder ganz anzukommen und einen Snack zu geniessen, bevor der Workshop mit einem Sharing in der Gruppe endet. Der Workshop wird auf Deutsch und Englisch durchgeführt. Preis: CHF 65 Anmeldung via [https://rebekkathommen.ch/pure-breathwork/](https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Frebekkathommen.ch%2Fpure-breathwork%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExZ3FzOUpDVlFxMTVjeFhTUnNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR4NmVcF4OOcYb--sthB23aqVwI1_DSs_j-ck06mXFKPQFAAxLIE_gxVhxwwSA_aem_3St6FHpD3HCvukjSXMAj_Q&h=AT2BxC-bTIWV53y0vAaMAwRnbnAR_QI2z1TZfXGfII1a4AiwTl91UTIgZlCeesuc6BjBnKauyOIq9wI5pYAO4l-o029U_l2YUKiR5YRQdWS3Odm2BI3q5mFffghqYVhc20RY2inzGAfkdfpUQeEs61HXumsysA&__tn__=q&c%5B0%5D=AT0DcSrjdkxrlcOFcWKWS7PXzkANYTzbluRIwm2mryN3zIMbiZgLnQdpcq0KL0W0SZzZCzNM5rkv7qn4zv1XYbvtf92GFqnhlnN4UInbcPbAsEiLVYMM8ok_GV2ekPGmriPe4EJ62he08E8hdQNpfTkEMhQ7R_IdCis) \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- WHAT IS BREATHWORK AND WHAT ARE ITS EFFECT Breathwork (deep, connected breathing) is a powerful breathing technique that works simultaneously on the consciousness, emotional and physical levels, enabling rapid transformation and self-healing. Physical effect: Breathwork can help you to reduce stress, inner tension/tension, relieve pain and improve body awareness, feel more energy and vitality, improve your sleep and love your own body more. Emotional effect: Deep, connected breathing can give you access to suppressed emotions (e.g. anger, fear, sadness) that have previously blocked you. You learn to allow them back in, to lose your fear of them and to release the inner pressure. At the same time, Breathwork enables you to experience deep states of joy, serenity, connection and (self-)love. Consciousness-expanding effect: Breathwork can enable you to break through old beliefs and patterns and (re)gain access to your own truth, clarity and intuition. You can look at issues in your life from a new perspective and thus recognize amazing connections and solutions. New ideas and visions can be born. My type of breathwork is based on the “Biodynamic Breath & Trauma Release” approach and contains elements of holotropic breathing (“Holotropic Breathwork”) by Stanislav Grof and transformational breathing by Judith Kravitz. INFORMATION ABOUT THE WORKSHOP In the live breathwork workshops, a warm-up exercise is followed by a breathing sequence lasting approximately 1 hour. This is accompanied by touch and powerful music. At the end, there is a 15-minute relaxation phase accompanied by gentle music. Afterwards, there is a break to fully recharge and enjoy a snack before the workshop ends with a group sharing. The workshop is conducted in German and English.

Dance with us in the afternoon then you can still go out in the evening! **Sponsor: All Soles Contra and Square Dancing, First Unitarian Universalist Church, 93 W. Weisheimer Rd., Columbus OH 43214** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 1:30 - 2:00, followed by dancing 2:00 - 430. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. Please bring your own refillable water bottle.

Sleep in on Sundays. When you've had your fill of pajama-time, roll out and have some tasty brunch with your fellow Humanists!

The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Our March speakers are Molly Gaines and Zack Parrish, co-organizers of the Secular Education Association: They will share their story of how a small group of Ohio parents grew into a national organization tracking released-time religious instruction and other church–state issues in public schools. The presentation will cover SEA’s early wins and hard lessons, what we’re seeing nationally right now, and how local advocates can play a meaningful role in protecting public education. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the landscape — and practical ways to get involved. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online Join Zoom Meeting [https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1](https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1) Meeting ID: 878 3656 4953 Passcode: 760812 One tap mobile +19292056099,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (New York) +13017158592,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (Washington DC) The formal presentation will start at noon

You may not know it, but we are! We're in your schools, diners, police force, military, government, and some are even still in your churches! So come and join us and meet other local atheists, along with agnostics, heathens, humanists, skeptics, and anyone else who's 'hell bound'! Vision: a Central Ohio that accepts atheism as a viable alternative in all areas of public and private life. Mission: grow, support, and provide community for atheists in Central Ohio. Social meetings held most Tuesdays at a local pub/restaurant at 7:00 PM (and often into the wee hours). Attendees call themselves agnostics, skeptics, humanists, non-theists, deists or even theists. All attendees are welcome but should support our vision. Atheists of Columbus (AoC) is part of Omnipresent Atheists (OA). AoC members are invited to join this OA meetup and/or OA Facebook group ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/omnipresentatheists/ ) but are free to continue conversations on the AoC Facebook group ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/columbusatheists/ ). AoC was founded in 2012 as a networking, social group for Central Ohio area humanists, skeptics, atheists, agnostics, nonbelievers, freethinkers, and the curious. It was a member of Columbus CoR and held weekly meetings, mostly on Fridays, for several years but then operated as an online only group for some time. In November 2018, Omnipresent Atheists (OA), a group that routinely meets on Tuesdays, invited AoC to merge. Omnipresent Atheists is a member of the Columbus Coalition of Reason (ColumbusCoR.org). Omnipresent Atheists is a member of the Columbus Coalition of Reason ( http://www.ColumbusCoR.org ). Omnipresent Atheists endorses the mission of the Secular Coalition for America ( http://secular.org ).
