    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Chrissa Pullicino August 4, 2010 Office: 845.266.4444, ext. 404 Omega’s 2010 Being Yoga Conference Retreat Brings 25+ Top Teachers to the Hudson Valley Senior Teachers Offer Classes to Preserve the Rich Tradition of Yoga RHINEBECK, NY –Today Omega Institute, one of the nation’s most trusted sources for yoga education, announced its annual Being Yoga Conference Retreat will be held on its Rhinebeck, New York campus, from August 20 through 22. The event offers an in-depth exploration of the many facets of yoga practice—from therapeutic to philosophical. “Since 1977, Omega has been a place where people from all walks of life come for lifelong learning, inspired living, and building community,” said Carla Goldstein, director of external affairs and the Women’s Institute at Omega. “During Being Yoga, beginner and experienced yoga practitioners gather in community to learn from leading teachers about the depth of this ancient tradition and the promising ways yoga can enhance their modern lifestyle,” concluded Goldstein. In addition to physical yoga practice, the Being Yoga Conference Retreat will offer classes on a wide range of topics, including health and wellness practices such as meditation, vegetarian cooking, and dance. Guests of Being Yoga will design their own schedule, choosing from more than 50 dynamic classes, to explore what it means to “live your yoga.” In addition to choosing classes, guests can spend time in quiet contemplation, make new friends during meals and community gatherings, relax with a session at the Omega Wellness Center, and explore the outdoors. The conference opens Friday evening August 20, at 7:30 p.m.
  • Belly Dancing in New Zealand

    Belly Dancing in New Zealand

    BELLY DANCING IN NEW ZEALAND: IDENTITY, HYBRIDITY, TRANSCULTURE A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Cultural Studies in the University of Canterbury by Brigid Kelly 2008 Abstract This thesis explores ways in which some New Zealanders draw on and negotiate both belly dancing and local cultural norms to construct multiple local and global identities. Drawing upon discourse analysis, post-structuralist and post-colonial theory, it argues that belly dancing outside its cultures of origin has become globalised, with its own synthetic culture arising from complex networks of activities, objects and texts focused around the act of belly dancing. This is demonstrated through analysis of New Zealand newspaper accounts, interviews, focus group discussion, the Oasis Dance Camp belly dance event in Tongariro and the work of fusion belly dance troupe Kiwi Iwi in Christchurch. Bringing New Zealand into the field of belly dance study can offer deeper insights into the processes of globalisation and hybridity, and offers possibilities for examination of the variety of ways in which belly dance is practiced around the world. The thesis fills a gap in the literature about ‘Western’ understandings and uses of the dance, which has thus far heavily emphasised the United States and notions of performing as an ‘exotic Other’. It also shifts away from a sole focus on representation to analyse participants’ experiences of belly dance as dance, rather than only as performative play. The talk of the belly dancers involved in this research demonstrates the complex and contradictory ways in which they articulate ideas about New Zealand identities and cultural conventions.

  • The Strengthening Aspects of Zen and Contemporary Meditation Practices

    The Strengthening Aspects of Zen and Contemporary Meditation Practices

    The Strengthening Aspects of Zen and Contemporary Meditation Practices By Kathleen O’Shaughnessy Excerpts from Chapter 19 of: Spiritual Growth with Entheogens – Psychoactive Sacramentals and Human Transformation Edited by Thomas B. Roberts ©2001, 2012 by the Council on Spiritual Practices Kathleen O’Shaughnessy has a thirty-year background in Soto Zen practice, psychosynthesis and gestalt therapy, movement as a means of expanding the capabilities of the human nervous system, the fragilities of nutritional healing, primary shamanic states (including plant-induced frames of mind), multiple and multilevel bodywork approaches to balance, and the practicalities of transpersonal crisis. Meditation: Reflecting on Your Attitude toward Altered States What is your relationship to unusual and altered states in meditation? As you read about these experiences, notice which ones touch you, notice where you are attracted or what reminds you of past experiences. How do you meet such experiences when they arise? Are you attached and proud of them? Do you keep trying to repeat them as a mark of your progress or success? Have you gotten stuck trying to make them return over and over again? How much wisdom have you brought to them? Are they a source of entanglement or a source of freedom for you? Do you sense them as beneficial and healing, or are they frightening? Just as you can misuse these states through attachment, you can also misuse them by avoiding them and trying to stop them. If this is the case, how could your meditation deepen if you opened to them? Let yourself sense the gifts they can bring, gifts of inspiration, new perspectives, insight, healing, or extraordinary faith.

According to acupuncture theory, these acupuncture points lie along meridians along which qi, a kind of vital energy, is said to flow. There is no generally-accepted anatomical or histological basis for these concepts, and modern acupuncturists tend to view them in functional rather than structural terms, (as a useful metaphor in guiding evaluation and care of patients). Acupuncture is thought to have originated in China and is most commonly associated with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Different types of acupuncture (Classical Chinese, Japanese acupuncture) are practiced and taught throughout the world. Bowen Technique The Bowen Technique is one version of a group of technical interpretations of the work of Australian osteopath Tom Bowen (1916–1982) known as Bowen Therapy, which is a holistic system of healing.
  • Psychedelic Research Revisited

    Psychedelic Research Revisited

    PSYCHEDELIC RESEARCH REVISITED James Fadiman Ph.D. Menlo Park, CA Charles Grob MD Torrance, CA Gary Bravo MD Santa Rosa, CA Alise Agar (deceased) Roger Walsh MD, Ph.D. Irvine, CA ABSTRACT: In the two decades before the government banned human subjects studies in the mid 1960s, an enormous amount of research was done on psychedelics. These studies hold far reaching implications for our understanding of diverse psychological, social, and religious phenomena. With further research all but legally impossible, this makes the original researchers a unique and invaluable resource, and so they were interviewed to obtain their insights and reflections. One of these researchers was James Fadiman, who subsequently became a cofounder of the Association for Transpersonal Psychology and the Journal of Transpersonal Psychology. Discussion topics include his research studies and personal experiences, the founding, nature and purpose of transpersonal psychology, social effects of, and responses to, psychedelics, and religious freedom. INTRODUCTION For half a century psychedelics have rumbled through the Western world, seeding a subculture, titillating the media, fascinating youth, terrifying parents, enraging politicians, and intriguing researchers. Tens of millions of people have used them; millions still do—sometimes carefully and religiously, often casually and danger- ously. They have been a part—often a central and sacred part—of many societies throughout history. In fact, until recently the West was a curious anomaly in not recognizing psychedelics as spiritual and medical resources (Grob, 1998, 2002; Harner, 1973). The discovery of LSD in 1943 (Hoffman, 1983), and later its chemical cousins—such as mescaline, psilocybin and MDMA—unleashed experiences of such intensity and This paper is excerpted from a more extensive interview which will be published in a book tentatively entitled Higher Wisdom.
