Yoga in Bali
With Stacey Rosenberg and Danu Tours
June 20 - July 5, 2008
Join us for an in-depth excursion into the
culture of Bali through the eyes of the
Balinese. It is a great opportunity for those
who wish to observe a deep experience of this
magical and healing place while enhancing
their own well being through nurturing and
invigorating daily yoga classes with Stacey.
We begin our visit with a relaxing night at
the white sand beach of Sanur, noted for its
stunning sunrise, before heading North to the
cool volcanic mountains of Bali, surrounded
by clove and coffee plantations. You will
have time to relax, get your bearings,
stretch out, revitalize, and see what
unspoiled village life in Bali has to offer.
The trip proceeds to Ubud, the cultural and
artistic heart of Bali, where you will have a
taste of performances, shopping, and arts and
crafts.
Yoga in Bali
Bali is a little Hindu oasis of calm.
Everyday life on this extraordinary island
resonates deeply with serenity, sacredness,
and natural artistic beauty. Bali is premium
fertile ground to begin a practice or to dive
more deeply into your Yoga practice. The
balmy tropical atmosphere relaxes the body's
joints and muscles and the slower, more
respectful pace all around is contagiously
soothing to the nervous system, coaxing one
to explore new possibilities and achieve a
depth of practice difficult to experience
otherwise.
Art and Culture
In Bali, art is part of religion and in some
cases, healing. This trip includes many
performances of Balinese music and dance.
Some are private, some part of regular
tourist performances, and some take place at
temple festivals. All are of the highest
quality. You will also visit some of the most
important sites on the island, and view its
natural, unspoiled beauty in comfortable
air-conditioned mini buses.
Massage
Massage is regarded as an important healing
art on the island of Bali. Because families
usually have a member who practices this art,
there are many professionals. The skills of
some massage practitioners have been handed
down from generation to generation, while
others have received their skills directly
from the Hindu deities. During the trip each
participant will receive two traditional
massages with opportunities to schedule more
sessions.

The Swell of Spirit
A Week of Anusara Yoga with Elizabeth Rainey
April 12 -19, 2008
Haramara Retreat
Sayulita, Mexico
Come to where the land meets the ocean and
the ocean opens up to the endless sky. This
vast setting of natural beauty on the Pacific
Coast of Mexico will be our inspiration to
explore ourselves in new ways. We will
investigate how we can locate a ground of
being that is steady and reliable like the
earth. How do we find the infinity of the
blue sky within ourselves? And how do we ride
the currents of life in such a way that our
spirit can do nothing but swell with
vibrancy.
We will have two yoga sessions and three
exquisite meals per day. And we will take one
day to do nothing be explore and/or rest. Our
travel days will be Saturdays. Children and
non-yoga participants are welcome. Please
join me for this amazing journey.
Haramara Retreat is one of the most inspiring
places I have ever been. It is located
outside the tiny fishing village of Sayulita,
just 45 miles north of Puerto Vallarta. They
offer a tranquil, secluded and beautiful
setting in which to delve into yoga and
nature as a spiritual practice. We will
practice yoga in an open-air palapa with
360-degree views of the ocean and rain
forest. Our accommodations include spacious
and clean cabanas with private bathrooms,
open air showers and breathtaking views. Our
meals will be vegetarian with the addition of
local fish and seafood.

Clutter Junkie No More: Stepping Up to
Recovery by Barb Rogers
Conari Press, San Francisco CA, 2007. $12.95
Feeling constantly overwhelmed? Tired of
trying yet another organizational system that
promises to transform your life? Have trouble
setting realistic goals and accomplishing
them? Is your living space constantly a mess,
no matter how much you clean? Not all that
different from alcohol or gambling, clutter
can be used to keep the world out by staying
overly busy or junk can be piled up around
you to create a safe nest. Written by a
recovered addict and based on the twelve
steps of alcoholics anonymous, Clutter Junkie
is no mere book on how to organize your
papers, or what new fangled gadget you need
to buy to make your life easier, but a viable
journey into self discovery and recovery from
a life diminishing addiction. Focusing on
uncluttering your mind and your spirit, Barb
Rogers steps you through the process of
letting go of what no longer enhances your
life and removing the barrier between you and
your emotions. Taking one small step at a
time she guides you through finding your long
buried dreams by releasing the experiences
that maintain your fear of living life,
loving others, and taking risks. "In no time,
you will be looking into the mirror and
recognizing the person you are, what you are
capable of, what you want out of life."
