Meditative Silence
as Protest

Wherever you are, join us in sharing one minute of silence every day until the New
Year as a means of finding inner peace and inspiring peace in the outer world, too.
You can dedicate your meditation to those whose voices have been silenced, censored
or self-censored, or any cause you believe in. Share your cause and help inspire
 others to meditate with you by sharing a video of your meditation-- just state 
the cause you're dedicating your practice to, meditate for a minute, and send the
video to Yoga District so we can post it on our blog [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001qtqQu_fnCoKxqpeY49z4AbJkAq9_nQJjGs5PAR6-nBLZfonTcnk1r6rgcDTlZl1y1lWZcpL12okltT4S7PmIw4PowAfCHKeNeRH8xTms8WuMfgyXDhZw3uAOeV3DJ8iJbndwhEqNb0crlCv_5m-t9UHwUrKkR-h--ELSykwsnLz7RAw1q5kCRTd9RWu1d6UY_Jcl1aUMFrPrmvt3D50lKTydl7oh71RK&c=7JhJ85l425deJrxNH18S8h23ze5hwWnRUBMzqe926IFY2OCeTSP-Ug==&ch=qRVbm0VJfO1capX4ZDx13s80_SICrHPJTG6KBgu2contuvxvbSsRzw==]

a national leader in reducing hunger with recycled food, training unemployed adults
for culinary careers, and rebuilding urban food systems through social enterprise.
Service is a part of a traditional yoga practice--Swami Sivananda explains, "By 
doing service, you purify your heart. Egoism, hatred, jealousy, idea of superiority
vanish. Humility, pure love, sympathy, tolerance, and mercy are developed. Sense
 of separateness is annihilated. You begin to feel oneness or unity of life... Eventually,
you get Knowledge of the Self. You realise the 'One-in-all' and 'all-in-One'. You
feel unbounded joy."

a retreat to celebrate the potential and opportunity of the New Year while recognizing
the strength that already exists within. We'll gather at a mountain-view property
