Upcoming Events, Retreats, Courses and Classes 2012
The years 2010 and 2011 were tough years with the last months, weeks and days of 2011 ending with more stress, turmoil and structural uncertainty here on the Rock than I have ever known before in all my lifetime. Although we have had a few positive deviations during the festive Christmas Holiday, as January rolls in we are again faced with the stark reality on this cold winter day that life on the Rock is not what it used to be; and, although some of us may be okay for the moment, there are many who are not, with no job, overdue mortgage payments and worse still rent!!, health issues and childcare responsibilities that they can ill afford!! Quite frankly, they need our help in whatever way we can give it. So, as we move into 2012 I invite you to drop the mask ( New Year's Eve is over!!) and journey into a sober 2012. There is much to be done to support (emotionally and physically) those in need of our help.
Notwithstanding, it is so difficult to reach out to others when our own house is on shaky ground, when we ourselves are struggling to survive. Yet we are called, as Richard Rohr would say, in the book Falling Upward, to pay attention to the story within the story. Hence our journey is not just about doing whatever feels good; but, how will it serve us, and how can that service be transformed into something that will benefit our loved one, our friend, neighbour and the world at large?
Hence I invite you to join in our classes for 2012 with the interest and/or intent to open yourself up to continued grow and transformation. I promise to do the same, through my teaching, through my continued training scheduled for this year and also through my commitment to serve you better than ever before. It is my wish that together, through the tools offered in Yoga On The Rock programs and classes, we can step out, during this 2012 season, to do great work to make the world a better place for all.
Here is what we have to offer thus far this year:
