Amma in SF Bay Area

Screen-Shot-2014-04-18-at-11.52.41-AM

Amma in SF Bay Area on June 7, 2016 in Castro Valley, CA : “A continuous stream of love flows from me to all of creation. This is my inborn nature. The duty of a doctor is to treat patients. In the same way, m y duty is to console those who are suffering.” - Amma. Amma says that love expressed is compassion, and compassion means accepting the needs and sorrows of others as one's own.
VISIT AMMA
Nestled in beautiful rolling hills, the M.A. Center was Amma's first U.S. ashram. Visitors come from all over the United States and the world to attend Amma's Summer and Fall programs. Inaugurated in 1989, it was one of only a few ashrams to be established in her name outside of India at that time. It serves as an organizational center for Amma's global humanitarian activities as well as a spiritual retreat center for North America. Outside of her main ashram in India, Amma has spent more time at the San Ramon center than anywhere else in the world, making it a unique and inspiring place to visit.
ENVIRONMENT
The land around M.A. Center has a rich ecosystem with organic gardens, fruit orchards, creeks, ponds and wildlife. The center is dedicated to putting into practice Amma's teachings on caring for the earth and strives to be a model of environmental sustainability.
WHO IS THE M.A. CENTER COMMUNITY?
M.A. Center is the physical home to a small group of residents, and the spiritual home for hundreds of people from the greater San Francisco Bay Area. On Saturdays, everyone comes together to participate in service opportunities and attend programs. This wider community also participates in special events throughout the year, including spiritual retreats, environmental workshops, and holiday celebrations. People also meet regularly in local area small community groups, called ...read more

Presence in Touch and Movement

Minnesota_flyer_print

Presence in Touch and Movement on June 18, 2016 in Edina, MN : Join us for either or both of these events that bring Breema back to the greater Minneapolis area: an introductory event on Saturday from 6:30-8pm, an d a nurturing workshop on Sunday from 9:30-5pm (with a leisurely lunch break).
Breema is a floor-based form of touch and movement. It uses natural body mechanics, rhythm and the relaxed weight of the practitioner's body to create a dynamic balance that is profoundly comfortable, nurturing, and mutually beneficial for both giver and receiver.
Participating in a Breema workshop is a unique opportunity to experience a new way of moving, thinking, and feeling. Breema bodywork and Self-Breema exercises are ideal ways to practice body-mind connection. They support us to become present, moment after moment. By studying and applying Breema's Nine Principles of Harmony we can move from complication toward simplicity, and support an openhearted and open-minded posture toward life.
Both events will be led by Laura Rawson, LAc, and Bernie Jungle, both Certified Breema Instructors from the Breema Center In Oakland, CA.
CE: 6 hours for the workshop (The Breema Center is approved by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB) as a Continuing Education Provider.)
No bodywork experience is necessary, but please be comfortable sitting, lying down, and working on a padded floor.
