I formed this group because I know there's no other hiking club quite like this one, where contemplation …

Laughter Yoga (LY) is a series of simple yet profound exercises based on the philosophy of “acting happy.” Research has shown that the body does not distinguish between simulated and genuine laughter and in either case produces the same “happy chemistry.” In LY we decide to feel good by engaging the body in the physical actions of happiness and relaxation i.e. laughter and deep breathing. This technique does not rely on the mind; therefore one does not need to be happy, have a sense of humor, or …

This group is for all practitioners interested in exploring yoga as a philosophical and contemplative, as well as a physical, practice.

Each teacher-led meeting will likely incorporate discussion, sharing, asana (physical postures), pranayama (breathing) and meditation tech …

I started this meetup to share my knowledge of natural movement with people to empower them to feel free to explore their environments (or even just to move freely and without pain). Through achieving physical freedom, people can also come to a state of mental and emotional freedom. There are few opportunities in our modern lives to move in ways that are personally expressive, spontaneous, and adaptive. Normally, we join a fitness program that has us doing sets and reps of constrained, repetitiv …

This group is designed to get people outside moving in ways not typical or usual. While we may be on a ‘hike’, the intention is to learn more about ourselves and our world thru stillness, movement, mindfulness and exploration. Many of our trips will involve hiking, but there will also be other forms of movement and expression. My intention is to be in less traveled areas, both physically and spiritually. I created this group to offer a different experience then just hiking, taking a more mindful …

Unlike virtually all forms of treatment or therapy, the primary goal of Emergence Care is not to identify, treat or "fix" specific problems or symptoms. Rather, healing occurs as Emergence Care recipients regain the ability to connect with their own transcendent wisdom — their own "inner" healer. When Eme …
