Awe Delight Joy A Conscious Aging Presentation

Submitted By: kathiejhightower@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Want more awe, joy, and delight in your life?

Monday, May 13, 2-4 pm join us for a presentation by Kathie Hightower, on Awe/Delight/Joy: Why it’s SO important, and ways to add them in to your daily life. Sociologists, psychologists, and neuroscientists have done extensive research studies on Awe and Joy. Join us to learn why these topics matter to you, especially as we age, and learn simple exercises to add more of these into your own daily life. Let’s choose the antidote to the current negative news spiral. Choose Joy. Here’s how.

Kathie dove into this subject many years ago and in fact published a small book on Simple Joys. She returned to study current research to prepare this presentation for you. Kathie spent many years doing keynotes and workshops on topics like Jump Into Life, and Joyful Living. This is a mini-presentation.

Bring a pen and a book or magazine to write on…we’ll have handouts ready for you to fill in.

The goal of the Conscious Aging and Community Connections Program is to bring people in our community together to get to know one another at a deeper level and to encourage one another to live our best possible lives.

The Conscious Aging and Community Connections Program is held on the second Monday of each month from 2-4pm. This program is sponsored by Pine Grove Community House which allows us to keep admission at $ 5 per session. All money received goes directly to Pine Grove.

Everyone is welcome to join us. The Conscious Aging and Community Connections Team: Tela Skinner, Mary Ruhl, Kathie Hightower, Kathleen Moore, Jan Hamilton, Dori Bash

“The first thing is your body. It is your base it is your ground. To make you hate the body is to destroy you. To make you schizophrenic. To make you miserable.

The body is your basic truth. Whenever you are going against the body. you lose contact with reality. The body is your contact, your bridge, your temple.”

On Beltane we celebrate the body, the greatest of mysteries.

In this workshop we’ll explore the master emotion of shame, and why “shame shifting” is the key to transforming the fight with our bodies into life force and pleasure.

Through a series of exercises based in tantra, kundalini yoga and somatics, you’ll learn ways to turn towards towards the body with compassion and love.

Beltane Fire Ritual & Sound Healing

Pleasure is the natural result of transforming shame in the body.

Using fire, sound healing, ‘ye old shame pinata – we’ll create a ritual to burn away the old skins of winter and light the flame of summer!
