 HEAR YE! - HEAR YE!
We
are inviting all
to attend our end
of the year Workshop
and Ethiopian food
afterwards. It
is our gift to
you and a wonderful
opportunity to
move together and
to sit down and
eat and talk together.
The second part
is a rarity in
our experience
throughout most
of the rest of
the year. Everyone
is welcome, students
from studios and
practice spaces
other than Two-Snake
and students who
study with all/any
teachers of The
Thinking Body – The
Feeling Mind® are
ever so welcome.
Those who joined
us in Idyllwild
for the first time
are welcome, too.
Notes
from: The IDYLLWILD
Workshop
The Idyllwild experience was magnificent.
The practice room, the food, the feeling, the grounds and the accommodations were just right.
Here
are just some of
the comments we
heard:
Kristin
Kreiger: “What
a wonderful
retreat it
was! I loved
the grounds
and the magnificent
room, the food.
I loved seeing
you just loving
it - doing
such a beautiful
job.”
Fumi
Naughton: “Thank you for such a wonderful retreat, it was just that "wonderful" in
so many ways.
The location,
the space, the
accommodation,
the food - and
of course the
teaching!. It
was amazing that
after all that
moving, I did
not have any
complaints from
the body. It
just LOVED it!”
Joann
Ruden: “Thank
you for a positively
stimulating and
inspirational
weekend! We both
enjoyed the entire
4 days and hope
next year we
will be in a
place to be able
to do it again.”
 We are working right now on scheduling again for next year, so that more of you can plan ahead and join us for an experience that deepens your practice at a time of the year when most of us are pulled away from classes for the pending holidays. Watch this space for details.
In Remembrance of LISA ELLIOTT and ANNA SINGLETON
 Lisa Elliott, friend and costumer extraordinaire died the week before Idyllwild and Anna
Singleton, friend and administrator extraordinaire died the week after Idyllwild.
The losses are profound along with too many others this year. I have sometimes no idea how I will move onward without the love, care and excellence of these people. They are so very missed.
A Year’s Worth
of Thank You’s
for:
Our big blessing
is Gayle Peitzer
Hilbert, who works
along side of me
and is/was the
only person Anna
Singleton actually
approved of in
the year and a
half that she has
not been able to
run the back of
the studio -- and
the many intangibles
that need to be
done on a daily/weekly
basis.
We are also very grateful for Diane
Raymen, property, construction, transportation, general trouble-shooting and handyperson extraordinaire.
Also Our Thanks go to: Hagit
Worona, graphics; Peter
Rashkin, website; Claire
Wynters, media; Rigo Ayala,
Moises Ayala, Antonio and all of the teachers of The
Thinking Body – The
Feeling Mind®: Molly
Hagan, Kristin Kreiger, Gretchen
Kreiger, Fumi Naughton, Jan Zeitlin,
Kai Landworth, Ann Mundy, Vera
Chew, Dale Ballantyne.
Ann Mundy is
teaching individuals
who have brain injuries and some
physical disabilities (see http://subtleyoga.com/index.php?topic=yoga_philosophy_Kaov).
THE FOLLOWING ARE
SOME END OF THE YEAR
REFLECTIONS ON
THE THINKING BODY – THE FEELING MIND®:
“Homage, o poverty, to you. through your grace, I have acquired magic (yogic) powers. I can see
the whole world, but not a soul sees me.”
(Translation of a Sanskrit poem
by Kai Landworth)
Jim Grant
(student of Jan Zeitlin): “The
Thinking Body – The Feeling
Mind® is like organic
human origami”
Juanita Phillips:
"I close my
eyes while I’m
doing class so I can
listen to myself”
Kai Landworth: “The
Thinking Body – The
Feeling Mind® is
organized so that the body
can find its own way”
