Jan Gillespie is a guest with the 'Embracing the Global Heart' series on Thursday, August 25, 7 p.m. We invite you to mark your calendar and plan to join us to co-create an evening devoted to feeling heart coherence through meditation, prayer, and collective visioning. ‘Awakening the Soul’ meditation is a series of eight seated movements to soften the heart and clarify the soul. The practice combines movement to gather chi (life force energy) and holding postures in stillness to return to the heart. As we become grounded in our own open heart then we can share Love and unconditional acceptance with all people in our daily lives. We will begin with a series of gentle, standing body movements to open your energy flow for relaxed focus attention. Qigong (chi kung) is a form of bio-feedback and with practice you will feel relaxed, alert and rejuvenated. We invite you to experience the blissful heart coherence in this moving meditation.

Love Offering - RSVP Requested.  To RSVP and For More Information: Sherry Vaughan - 828-808-2482   1erthmadre@gmail.com.
