Sacred Space Workshop
01:00pm -04:00pm
Come join us Saturday, March 2nd 1:15-3:45 PM and explore the many techniques and technologies of yoga.
We will be exploring a wide range from Sat Kryia (awakening and raising the kundalini energy), pranayam (breath awareness and control to move prana/life force), WaheGuru mantra (infinite ecstasy and experiencing moving from darkness to light) and Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep/sleepless sleep). Yoga Nidra is a very effective way to slow the brain wave activity. We will unplug starting with breath and body awareness to promote relaxation. This allows the brain activity to shift from beta to alpha where the brain can now power down. From alpha to high theta brain wave state (dream land/REM sleep). Then guided to delta which is the most restorative state. This is where we can expedite healing. Restore organs and stress hormone cortisol is removed from your system. Yoga nidra takes you down to the fourth state of consciousness, below delta and this cannot be reached through conventional sleep. Your brain is thoughtless. It takes practice to get here, but the more your practice you may get glimpses of this state.
Be prepared to have fun and learn boat loads about yourself! And be warned. You may have an experience of getting high on your own supply and may be inspired to spread light, love, harmony and peace to all.
The price: $80+gst
What to wear- Loose and comfortable clothing
What to bring- Water, blankets, pillows, socks and an open heart and mind (A limited number of blankets and bolsters will be available for use).

A Bedfull of Foreigners
All day
ANVIL CENTRE - March 14, 15 & 16
Fawlty Towers meets Benny Hill in this hilarious, face-paced farce with a succession of enough disasters and misunderstandings, twists and turns to create the perfect comedy of chaos… and just the thing for an end-of-winter celebration.
The setting for the play is the dingy “Hotel Heinz” on the border between France and Germany where the inept staff members create pandemonium when they book two couples into the same guest room! Mistresses, mistaken identities, misunderstandings and unexpected wives along with food poisoning outbreaks, monks, a nun and a Bulgarian lady cyclist all add to the mayhem during the “Festival of St. Wolfgang.”
Some slightly suggestive situations.
Tickets Online via the event's website.
