Mark Klosterman: Passing the Dance Home Director's Torch.
Mark Klosterman, long time keeper of the flame for the Dance Home Community, has stepped down.
We at Dance Home wish to announce that we are dedicating the upcoming Friday March 28th dance as an appreciation to Mark Klosterman for his ten years of devotion to running our dances. Mark recently resigned as Dance Home Director. He had sought to pass the torch several months ago but generously stayed on until committed folks were available to take the torch and run with it.
At the dance, we will also introduce the three members of the Interim Management Team who will be running the dances for at least several months: Varadaan (President of the Solstice Institute and owner of
building that houses Dance Home), Zoe Joy (who will not be present that night as she is appearing in the Vagina Monologues at The Dairy), and Reed Heyser.
Dance Home has been holding regular dances for fourteen years and counting. We play an eclectic mix of free-form dance music that transcends generations. All ages and dance styles welcome! Every Tuesday (8 PM to 11:30 PM) and the last Friday of the month (9 PM to midnight). 302 Pearl St, entrance on 3rd.
Please join us to dance and bid farewell to Mark!

From Varadaan:
As Hopi wisdom holds so eloquently: the future and the past are subjective reality, filtered through whatever lenses we personally happen to apply. The present Now Moment is in fact the only thing we truly know - and in a sense, that is what is so great about our dance space- it really is about the Now. So there is the past and all its historical expectations and agreements. And there is a bright future ahead, that is sure. And because Mark was doing so much and now we have a vacuum to fill, somehow it is necessary to hold the whole project and ensure that the brightest possible future can be had, while keeping in mind all of the heirloom torches of the past. In a sense this is a time of death and renewal for the project, but it is a time of great opportunity. We have an opportunity to start fresh with a blank slate with all of the learnings we have accumulated over the past 15 years.
To accomplish this transition, I as President of the Board, with support of the Solstice Institute Board of Directors, has established an Interim Management Team (IMT) to hold together the whole project while we establish a new management structure, process, and team. If you are interested in serving as staff or volunteer for the Dance Project, please contact Reed Heyser, by e-mail - see below. Feel free to contact Reed or myself if you have any questions over the next two weeks.
The Interim Management Team is:
Reed Heyser reedplay@gmail.com
Varadaan varadaan@comcast.net
Zoe Joy Einbinder sitikiti@hotmail.com
Note that Zoe is intensely preparing for two performances and so Reed and I are taking more responsibility for the next two weeks. We hope to complete our work by the end of April.

“Spirit Journey” Journeying within to access wisdom for your life.”
Date & Time: Sunday, April 13, 12-3pm
Cost: $50
Where: Big Room, Solstice Center
Drawn mostly from my work as a therapist, as well as from shamanic journey work, and experiences as a priestess, and meditator, I have found that many of us have a need at various times in our lives to look inward in order to access our own spirit for information and guidance. When we can take the time to be in sacred space, with a guide to facilitate, we can “journey” to those places where we might find answers to questions we hold about our lives, where we are headed, our healing, who we are becoming or wanting to become. When working with others, in this type of journey work, they have found spirit guides, spirit animals, talked with ancestral spirits, had symbolic visions or simply found answers to their questions. This 3 hours will be a sort of sampler time for you to experience what this kind of journey might be like for you. You need have no previous training as I will gently guide you through the process. You will be given an opportunity to learn some skills and information that you may not have previously tapped into. Any journey begins with the first step, let’s take it together…
Facilitator: Soltahr Tiv-Amanda, M.A., LPC, has led numerous workshops and has taught healing methodologies of various types over the last 23 years. She is a therapist, college professor, Reiki Master, priestess, mindfulness meditation instructor and shamanic practitioner. All of her experiences and roles have combined to create in her a warm and comforting presence and the ability to hold a sacred container for deep and far reaching inward looking.
Registration: To register, email s.tiv-amanda@hotmail.com, or call 720-296-0041.

Breakthrough
A WEEKEND RETREAT DEVOTED TO DEEP HEALING & AWAKENING
April 26th-27th, 2008 in Boulder
led by Robert Augustus Masters, Ph.D.
with Diane Bardwell Masters
THE SITUATION
You’ve done work on yourself and have opened and benefited (and want to maintain that openness), but find certain issues surfacing again and again — relationship hassles, insecurities, emotional inhibitions, and so on. Now, more than ever, these are in your face (perhaps because you’re now ready to fully face them), asking for your undivided attention. And, quite possibly, also for a suitable setting, featuring both cutting-edge
guidance and the company of others as committed as you to healing and awakening.
THE CONTEXT
You might think that these issues are blocking your path, but in reality they are part of your path, and need to be treated as such. All you have to do is stop turning away from them, stop trying to rise above them, and make the journey into them, with awareness, compassion, and curiosity. This is not necessarily easy — for if it was, you probably would’ve already done it — but it can be done, leaving you more whole, more alive and present, more functional in every aspect of your life, allowing you to live a life that
is as practical as it is liberating. This healing is what this group is all about.
WHO IT’S FOR
This group is for those who want to make wise use of their difficulties and who are ready to work through whatever is obstructing their liberation. It is especially suited for those whose longing to be truly free is stronger than their longing to continue distracting themselves from their suffering.
ABOUT THE WORK
This group will be small and intimate, being limited to 12 participants only, so that there is enough time for everyone to receive in-depth attention. The group will involve therapy (in its focus on personal history), and will also involve much more than therapy, given its integral nature. Deep catharsis, psychodrama, and spiritual breakthroughs will flow in and out of each other during the group, in spontaneously apt ways.
All kinds of issues and concerns — from the deepest trauma to the seemingly trivial — will be dealt with, through a dynamic, creative mix of psychotherapy, bodywork, spiritual disciplines, dreamwork, and group practices. The atmosphere will be one of deep trust; the group will be a safe place to let go of being safe, providing a crucible not only for personal healing, but also for awakening from all of our entrapping dreams.
Participants will learn to become more intimate with all that they are — dark and light, high and low, shallow and deep, neurotic and transcendent, dying and undying.
The structuring of the group will not be preset, but instead will arise in accordance with group and individual needs. Each participant will have an opportunity to work, in relevant detail and in sufficient depth, with his or her particular issues, and not necessarily just once in the group.
LOCATION & TIME: The Solstice Center, 302 Pearl Street, Boulder, Colorado.
The group will begin Saturday, April 26th at 10am and end Sunday, April 27th at approximately 4:30pm.
TUITION: $495 CAD. A nonrefundable deposit of $250 CAD is required.
PAYMENT: In Canadian funds either by bank draft (payable to Robert Masters at 16133 9th Avenue, Surrey, BC V4A 1A5) or by credit card online through the STORE page at http://www.robertmasters.com. Full tuition is due by March 15th, 2008.
ROBERT, a critically acclaimed author (of 7 books), teacher of spiritual deepening, and highly experienced psychotherapist (and trainer of psychotherapists) with a doctorate in Psychology, has innovatively integrated mind, body, emotion, and spirituality in his work for the past 30 years. For more information on his work and writings (and to subscribe to his free newsletter), visit www.RobertMasters.com.
DIANE, Robert’s wife and spiritual partner, assists him in his groups and trainings, contributing deeply to the work being done. She is an intuitive healer and Reiki master, as well as a songwriter and professional singer, with a special talent for accessing and transmitting heartfelt spirituality through her music.
RECOMMENDED READING: Robert’s latest books, DIVINE DYNAMITE
(revised edition) and TRANSFORMATION THROUGH INTIMACY, available in
bookstores and from amazon.com (and also from www.RobertMasters.com).

BREATH.....
FIRST FRIDAY OF EVERY MONTH at the Solstice Center
The gateway to:
-- Manifesting your Dreams!
-- Improved Physical Health
-- Mental Clarity
-- Emotional Clearing
-- Opening the Heart
-- Deep Spiritual Transformation
-- Deep Inner Peace
CONNECTED BREATHWORK is a simple yet beneficial technique for improved quality of life on many diverse levels!
The Breath experience begins by entering sacred space that supports the opening of the heart. The participants set their intentions for the evening prior to breathing so that desires are focused, goals are clarified an intentions are set. The group then begins the journey into breath. A safe and supportive environment is secured for the participants by the experienced facilitator, Lynds Pickett, and her support staff.
The simple, yet profound method of focused breathing eliminates body stress, releases toxic emotions and brings profound clarity and peace of mind. WOW! is the response first-timers have for this experience. The Breath experience closes with participants sharing their sacred journey voluntarily within the privacy of the group, celebrating together.
