Singing Medicine with Robin Landsong and John Utter on Jan 20th and February 17th in the Heart Room 6:30-9. $8 to $15 for adults, kids are free

We welcome you to join us in this rich weaving of masculine and feminine songs from Source as they come through John and Robin to you. John will add rhythm with hand drumming.

We start with a simple grounding exercise to help people settle in. Next Robin goes around the circle with John in the center with his drum singing to each person what is medicine for them in that moment. This is an experience of being deeply witnessed with compassion and sound. People have reported that they feel seen, nurtured, awakened, enlivened, profoundly moved, and have renewed creativity for their purpose. Some have strong insights, to the point that being sung to becomes a starting point for a new way of living. We close with a group sounding that is always a unique combination of the magic of each person in the room woven together to remind us of our connection to the web of life.

This is fun, moving, and we would love for you to join us! Bring friends! Families with children are welcome. We will sing to families first since kids may not be able to last for the whole time. We simply ask kids are mellow enough to not make it difficult for John and Robin to focus (like running around the room). We have had children fall sound asleep in the circle and wake up only after we finished singing to them!

Sufi Zikr and Dance

Zikr means remembrance. As a Sufi meditative and devotional practice, it is done in a variety of ways. Our way will use simple dance movements and music which we make ourselves (drum, guitar, flute or viola, voices). All elements will be taught, so everyone can move and chant together in the circle.

There is a polish for everything that takes away

rust; and the polish for the heart is the

remembrance of Allah, Unity.

This event is sponsored by the Community for Interfaith Celebration. Suggested donation: $5-10 and/or a non-perishable contribution for the Thurston County Food Bank. Please come fragrance-free.

Offered the first Friday of each month 7pm-9pm. Please contact: Jo Curtz for more information at 352-2209

Latiaf Training

“Navigating the Subtle Organs of Our Soul”

New Group Starts Sunday Oct. 16th
With Kim Lincoln

Group Meets the 3rd Sunday of each month
In the Heart room
1:00-6:30 p.m.
$80.00 each class

The Latiaf Training provides the basic elements needed to support and grow an authentic life. Through awakening and cultivating our ability to tolerate and navigate this perceivable and palpable terrain of essence, the subtle body of our soul, we gain the confidence to reclaim and actualize our true nature.

This series of classes is an introduction to the basic anatomy of our soul, which is made up of various subtle energies referred to as latifas, meaning essences. These essences in their purest form emanate different colors and qualities of substance. Thus, this mystery teaching, when embodied, provides direct access to Divinity, divine intelligence, the existential Light; which can only be known through love. As a result, in the light of love, anything that is not that will be exposed. The Latiaf Training will walk you through ways of navigating and integrating these undeveloped and uncomfortable edges, and help you grow the skills needed for re-Sourcing and returning to your authentic nature.

This is a series of 10 consecutive classes plus a two and a half hour follow-up class which also meets once a month, your choice of Monday night or Wednesday afternoon. $25.00

For pre-registration call 360-866-9234

To experience this work and to meet Kim there is the drop-in/ donation, Gifts of Being class offered the first 3 Monday evenings of each month 7-8:30 p.m.
