WORKSHOP DETAILS:

FRIDAY:
Mantras for the Heart, Peace & Community + Gong Bath:
Bring your voice, intention, and attention to learn 4-5 beautiful mantras for the heart, peace, and community. Mantras are incredible tools to focus the mind, soothe the nervous system, and tune into our highest selves and spirits. We will chant call-and-response style. All voices welcome, and chanting is optional – you can also choose to listen and rest. This event will be recorded so all participants can have these mantras to chant at home and learn by heart.

Gong Bath:
It is said that the gong is the sound of the creation of the universe – the purest potential. The sound of the gong “re-tunes” us on many levels, bringing us into harmony and deep levels of inner peace. These sounds work on a cellular level to cleanse and detoxify, and does the same on an emotional level. (Be sure to drink plenty of pure water following the session.) Donations from heart will be accepted.

SATURDAY:
Therapeutic Yoga for Mental Health
In this workshop, we will discuss the basics of yoga therapy, and the therapeutic use of yoga. We will provide an introduction to Ayurveda as the conceptual basis for understanding therapeutic yoga. We then present, practice and discuss techniques for depression, anxiety and attention/concentration.

Introduction to Kundalini Yoga
Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan is a practiced with the eyes close, as it is a technique for expanding your inner awareness. It uses postures, breath techniques, mudras, mantras and meditation to deepen your experience of YOU! In this workshop, we will learn more about the foundations of Kundalini Yoga, some take-home tools, and we will practice Kundalini Yoga & Meditation to open the heart center. Mary Bue will chant live with us for a mantra meditation for the heart.

VIniyoga: The beauty of breath-based asana
The ancient Sanskrit term Viniyoga means appropriate application, differentiation, and adaptation. This form of yoga, also known as the yoga of T.K.V. Desikachar, aims to speak to each individual’s goals whether they be for transformation, self realization, or greater health & flexibility. The tools used are asana (postures), pranayama (conscious breathwork), mantra, ritual, meditation, and study of texts. In the context of this workshop, we’ll primarily be focusing on Viniyoga’s distinct asana sequencing and breath-centered vinyasa as well as touch upon other methods to support the whole person in their growth and evolution.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTORS:

MICHELE ANDERSON: For me, yoga is a tool in my toolbox. One that I can use to shift my perspective, re-orient myself to center, and continue to trust in the rhythm of the Universe. As I have grown my relationship with my breath, I can partner with it when needing to restore balance, and this has ultimately empowered me to take good care of myself. I really believe that the breath is our most powerful tool…and it is free! I am a E-RYT 200 with the Yoga Alliance and also a continuing education provider. I believe yoga has a unique way of allowing individuals to perceive their inner landscape and cultivate continued compassion for self. My teaching style blends my knowledge of energy anatomy, human physiology and psychology…sprinkled with humor, and I LOVE to play the Gong. My Yoga Training includes: Kundalini Yoga Level 1 TT (2010), Kundalini Yoga Level 2 Life Cycles (2011), Level 2 Mind & Meditation (2016) and Level 2 Stress & Vitality (2017), 1,000-hour Yoga Therapy training (estimated graduation 2020). Education Background: Doctorate of Nursing Practice (DNP), specializing in Psychiatry and Mental Health, University of Minnesota (2018); M.A. in Nursing, Augsburg College (2009); B.S. in Nursing, University of Minnesota (2004); Healing Touch Practitioner (since 2012). www.michele-yoga.com

On October 26 at 1:30 pm the Roseau County Historical Society and Museum presents Jane Skinner Peck in:

Votes for Women, Ja!  a one-woman theatrical presentation and lecture tracing the pivotal contributions of Nordic immigrant suffragists to voting rights in Minnesota. Presenter Jane Peck is a choreographer, historian, writer, and professor. Her own female Norwegian ancestors were involved in the struggle. Through ragtime dance, acting, slides, and story, audiences are introduced to the development of feminine power and organizational skills in our Nordic grandmothers as they fought for Minnesota women’s suffrage and other social needs. These stories from a unique chapter of Minnesota history and lift the lid off the quiet Nordic grandma image!

This program is free and open to the public with refreshments being served. The program will be held at the Roseau City Center.

The museum will be open one hour prior to the program and one hour after the program so visitors have a chance to view the League of Women Voters traveling exhibit one last time
