The Body-Mind Connection Series:
The Chakras and Self-Transformation

In this workshop, you can discover how you have been held back in each of these dimensions and how to open up to new possibilities in every area of your life.When: Beginning Saturday, September 25th and continuing for six successive weeks. The workshop begins at 9:30am and wraps up at 4:30 pm.
Where: This workshop will take place at a lakeside retreat house just outside of Madison. Transportation is available for those who may need it.
Cost: The cost of the entire workshop is $540 if registered by September 10; $600 if registered after September 10. Register early, as space is limited.

The Role of Entheogens in Becoming a Whole/Healed Human Being

Saturday, Dec. 12, 2009, 6pm
Doors open at 5pm, prsentation for 6-8pm including Q&A session (leaving time to get to Give Peace a Dance afterwards).
Dr. Ajaya speaks as part of the C3 Speaker Series. We will explore how an integration of spiritual practices, psychotherapy, receiving bodywork, and using psychedelics in an optimal setting can lead to lasting and profound changes in our personality structure and our sense of well being. The use of psychedelics in combination with these other practices enhances our capicity to shed ongoing suffering and a limited sense of ourselves. Psychedelic experiences alone can lead us to a revisioning of who and what we are, but these experiences may be temporary and not integrated into our everyday lives. When entheogens are used in the context of these other ways of self discovery, a catalytic or synergistic effect can be created freeing us from non-functional patterns and leading to greater self revelation.
