BREATH OF LIFE:
PRIMORDIAL BREATHWORK & CEREMONIAL CACAO

March 16th, Thursday 6-10PM

Cynthia Robinson and Roman Hanis have created a multi-sensory/multi-dimensional workshop merging two traditional methods of breathwork from the Amazon and Tibet aided by the offering of cacao to help deepen the journey. Employing an ancient, cathartic, healing breath, this practice helps reactivate our chakra energies to their higher natural vibrational frequencies with the goal of relieving the psychosomatic sources of tension and illness. The method encourages the synchronization of breath through awareness, sound, drumbeat and cyclical rhythm. Cacao, a powerful plant medicine, can increase blood supply to the brain and thus help facilitate a deeper energetic and emotional release as well as connection to energy flow and heart space. Cacao intake is optional. Facilitators request that you do not eat 2 hours before the practice, bring your our yoga mat and blanket/pillow/eye covering if you wish. Pre-register at the Paititi Institute website. Sliding scale contribution $35-50.

DEEP TRAVEL: HOW TO JOURNEY LIKE THOREAU
March 18th, Saturday 4PM

Have travel plans to escape our late winter snow? Perhaps a trip scheduled during the upcoming school break? Join essayist, poet, photographer and sporadic fiction writer David K. Leff as he leads an illustrated slide talk to illuminate Thoreau’s way of approaching an “excursion.” Learn how the Concord naturalist prepared, how he selected his means of travel, his technique for observing people and nature, and the impact of travel for life upon his return. What we today call “deep travel” is perhaps the most accurate way to describe his expansive and enriching way of experiencing these places near and far. Reception to follow the lecture. Call to reserve your seat. Free.
