The Solstice Center has been the scene of much activity in the past month. Renovations in the old brick structure (see photo) have extended to roof modifications over the Skylight room. Peter MacGill and his team have been tearing out old walls, old wiring, old insulation; leveling the structure, and making it ready for the remodel that will bring it into the next century.
Meanwhile, workshops and dances continue in the Big room and Skylight room. The big room has a new coat of paint - it looks fresh and clean. Thanks to all our clients who are being so flexible with the workers' schedule, and to those who came to the last Dance Home showcase.

Special Events in October
*****
Sunday, October 29, 6:00-9:00, in the Big Room:
Mindful Physiology Institute teaches principles and applications of the inside-out paradigm through offering educational services. CapnoBreath training consultation and lecture events to assist people in learning about deregulated breathing and what they can do about it.
These workshop are for: healthcare practitioners, mental health professionals, corporate coaches, human service professionals, sports professionals, health educator consultants, school counselors, educators, and the wide variety of professional trainers who do breath work. During the presentation we will be sharing experiential learning techniques to become familiar with breathing as behavior, a behavior that regulates acid-base physiology. Acid-base physiology is about pH balance of body fluids, including blood and the fluids that surround tissue cells. The effects of deregulated pH (or chemistry) on health and performance can be dramatic and profound.
Good breathing behavior is about regulating of body chemistry (pH), a chemistry that ensures electrolyte balance, proper blood distribution, and efficient allocation of oxygen. Bad breathing behavior means deregulating body chemistry. Breathing, like any other behavior, is regulated by learning, and thus by motivation, emotion, cognition, perception, and memory.

INTEGRAL TANTRIC BIG MIND PRACTICE
BODY AND SPIRIT WORKSHOP
Offered by John T. Kesler
When: Saturday, October 27, 1:00-4:30 pm
Where: Solstice Center, 302 Pearl Street, Boulder Colorado; enter on 3rd Street
Contribution: $25 - or less based on need
RSVP: j_kesler@woodburycorp.com; attendance limited to 45
John will offer an afternoon experiential workshop exploring the tantric connections between body and Spirit through the big mind process and facilitated meditation.
John Kesler was one of the first individuals certified by Genpo Roshi to facilitate the “big mind process”, which has been referred to as the most significant development in Buddhism in 200 years. The big mind process is a facilitated group meditation which enables virtually anyone to receive a “kensho” experience or taste of the ultimate “non-dual” state defined particularly in the eastern traditions as a breakthrough to enlightened awareness.
John Kesler has developed a particular integral and tantric approach to this process. By discovering a potential mandala of transformation at every energetic polarity, John has developed a tantric practice which is unique. This practice works with polar energies in an ascending practice and archetypal polarities of descending manifestations of Spirit. The practice is brought to fruition by exploring the implications of internal and partnering tantra resulting from the embrace of the both the absolute and the relative, and the masculine and the feminine divine.
“There is nobody doing more leading-edge work on the integration of Eastern and Western approaches to consciousness, tantric experience and growth than John Kesler. His fully integral approach includes conventional and contemplative dimensions of psychology and spirituality, spanning body and mind and spirit and shadow, a truly remarkable and effective approach. I give his work my highest recommendation.” Ken Wilber
John Kesler is a founding teacher at the Integral Spiritual Center.

New! NeuroKinetic Movement Class
A one-hour class of nervous system-based movements that focus on learning patterns to manage pain and tension, refine posture, improve performance, increase core stability and generally enhance health. These movements are the self-care aspect of a comprehensive system of neuro-based intrinsic physical rehabilitation.
The slow, small movements explored in this non-aerobic class draw on concepts from Feldenkrais, Aston Patterning, Pilates & yoga in a unique way that will increase your body awareness & make you a more graceful & efficient mover.
Class taught by Michelle Saxer, who has been in private practice for over 14 years both in Boulder and Denver treating people with chronic pain, injuries and trauma. The neuro-based classes she teaches compliment her private practice and assist people in becoming pain-free & regaining full mobility.
