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.

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.

BOOK REVIEW
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."
