When the Body Says No
MIND/BODY UNITY & THE STRESS-DISEASE CONNECTION
Gabor Maté, MD

Stress is ubiquitous these days—in the workplace, in the home, and virtually everywhere that people interact. It can take a heavy toll unless it’s managed effectively and insightfully. If properly understood, stressful conditions can provide important openings for compassion and self-awareness (which are major tools in recovery and healing). Renowned physician Gabor Maté shows you how stress is negatively affecting your life and reveals key strategies to effectively prevent or transform stressful environments, at work or home.

Writing to Awaken
MEMOIR AS A PATH OF TRANSFORMATION
Mark Matousek, MA

When you learn to write truthfully about life experiences and discern your soul’s journey, you come to understand the mythic dimension of your struggles and triumphs. Join memoirist Mark Matousek for a literary pilgrimage within and discover spiritual memoir as a path to self-knowledge.

Unearthing the Treasure in Your Chest
Saki F. Santorelli, EdD, MA

Professor of medicine Saki F. Santorelli explains how we were born with a treasure within us. Yet, having forgotten this, we think we are poor. Fueled by the universal longing to remember our richness, we enter the vastness and mystery of the human heart. Through meditation and silence, stillness and movement, and both structured and spontaneous moments of dialogue and inquiry, we learn to enter, sooth, and polish the heart as we embody the beauty of our humanity.

Afro Flow Yoga

Living From Heart-Mind
Annette Knopp

There is a dimension of our being that remains free and undamaged, no matter the conditions of our lives. Through meditation, experiential inquiries, and contemplative dialogue, Annette Knopp guides you toward the direct knowing of your heart-mind and helps you learn to relax more into what is already profoundly complete within.
