Solstice Center mid-October update

Hello all,

It has come to my attention that the Hakomi Introductory Weekend coming up October 28-29 did not get proper billing in the last email. We include that information here, plus a run-down of other late October and November events at the building.

Dance news: On October 28 we will be hosting a Halloween Dance that is a fundraiser jointly benefiting Dance Home and The Commons Community Center. The dance starts at 8:00 and the cost is $7. The theme is "celebrating our deceased loved ones". This is a costume party. ****The Barefoot Boogie on October 31 will also be a costumed event. ****Another Dance fundraiser: World Dance Party! Sat, November 11 7:30 pm Admission on sliding scale $5-$12
Proceeds benefit the Swami Vishwananda Foundation and help defray expenses for his visit to Boulder on Nov. 30. Come dance the night away with DJs Luke Addington and Lauren Brillante!

THIS SATURDAY!
Hero Dragon offers an imaginative framework in which we can keep the lines of communication with our kids open and focus on facing and solving problems rather than sidestepping them. Parents can take challenging topics like unwanted behavior and self-control into a make-believe world in which we empower heroes and subdue dragons for the good of all. The playful imagery serves to lighten conversations, encourage collaboration, and minimize judgement and blame.
Attendees of this one-day event will get a comprehensive look at how Hero Dragon works. Participants will be invited to work through exercises that demonstrate how to apply Hero Dragon to the circumstances of their own families. See how we can go from "How many times must I tell you!?!?" to "Let's calm that miserable dragon and find our heroes to work this out."
Registrations are now being accepted and will be limited to 30 participants.
October 14, 2006
10 am - 4 pm (with a 1 hour lunch break)
The Big Room Studio at 302 Pearl Street
Boulder, Colorado (Wheelchair accessible)
$65

Speaker: Dr.Ruth Wyler,D.D.S., Switzerland

International Series of Lectures in over 60 countries Physicians and healing practitioners report on their experiences in over 400 lectures worldwide.
A higher power exists which can help everyone. It is a part of all religions and
was known to physicians centuries ago. This ancient knowledge unlocks the
door to help and healing once again to people seeking it. It is based on the
teachings of Bruno Groening (1906-1959), who became known through his
great healings. Medical specialists, physicians and healing practitioners worldwide belong to the forum of the Medical Scientific Group of the Bruno Groening Circle of
Friends. They desire to inform their colleagues and tell people generally of
their experiences. Through their medical verification of numerous healing
reports they became convinced that people can become free from illness in a
natural way.
Lecture contents:
Possibilities and limits of spiritual healing
Medically verified healings are presented and explained in an understandable way
Healed persons relate how they became free from emotional, organic
and so-called medically incurable ailments
The absorption of the healing power can be experienced in the lecture
Organizer: Medical Scientific Group (MWF) of the Bruno Groening Circle of Friends

We are excited about the new floor installation in our studio hallway; aesthetically pleasing, and easier to clean. The tile was installed by master craftsman Chrystos Minot (who also installed the new oak molding as well as the tile in the bathroom). If you are looking for an expert tile-installer or carpenter, craftsman please call Chrystos at Wise Habitat Resources: 720-364-5835. The Bamboo was installed by Dale Day (303.552.7561). Similarly, if you are looking for someone to install flagstone walkways, I will recommend Makaan Burt, who installed some for us this summer (303.257.8219). Peter MacGill, the carpenter who installed our skylights in the hallway this summer, is also an amazing carpenter and craftsman. He can be reached at 303.589.5980 - We forward their names and numbers since we are happy with their work, and you will be too, if you need some interior/exterior remodeling.
