IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING REGISTRATION FOR WORKSHOPS AND INFORMATION EVENINGS
Willow Den has had to change our registration policy due to the popularity of the workshops and information evenings. In order to be fair to everyone we must receive your investment at the time of registration. At this time we will only be accepting donations in the store and, for simplicity, we would prefer cash since 100% of your donations will be directed towards Niagara Nutrition Partners. The store phone number is 905-280-0358 if you should have any questions. We cannot reserve or guarantee a seat without payment. If an evening becomes full we will create a waiting list in the event of a cancellation or for when we reschedule a repeat evening. Thank you for your understanding.
SPECIAL EVENTS:
Evenings of Inspiration
Wednesday, July 31st at 7 pm
Investment for the event is $5.00 which will be donated to Niagara Nutrition Partners.
Our next Evening of Inspiration will occur on Wednesday, July 31st at 7 pm when we will view the documentary "I AM ...the shift is about to hit the fan".
I AM is an utterly engaging and entertaining non-fiction film that poses two practical and provocative questions: what's wrong with our world, and what can we do to make it better? The filmmaker behind the inquiry is Tom Shadyac, one of Hollywood's leading comedy practitioners and the creative force behind such blockbusters as "Ace Ventura", "Liar Liar", "The Nutty Professor", and "Bruce Almighty". However, in I AM, Shadyac steps in front of the camera to recount what happened to him after a cycling accident left him incapacitated, possibly for good. Though he ultimately recovered, he emerged with a new sense of purpose, determined to share his own awakening to his prior life of excess and greed, and to investigate how he as an individual, and we as a race, could improve the way we live and walk in the world.
Armed with nothing but his innate curiosity and a small crew to film his adventures, Shadyac set out on a twenty-first century quest for enlightenment. Meeting with a variety of thinkers and doers - remarkable men and women from the worlds of science, philosophy, academia, and faith - including such luminaries as David Suzuki, Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Lynne McTaggart, Ray Anderson, John Francis, Coleman Barks, and Marc Ian Barasch - Shadyac appears on-screen as character, commentator, guide, and even, at times, guinea pig. An irrepressible "Everyman" who asks tough questions, but offers no easy answers, he takes the audience to places it has never been before, and presents even familiar phenomena in completely new and different ways. The result is a fresh, energetic, and life-affirming film that challenges our preconceptions about human behavior while simultaneously celebrating the indomitable human spirit.
We have found this movie to be inspiring, uplifting and hopeful - offering many new paths and ideas to explore and inspire....
We would like to remind you that we can only accept CASH investments, in store, for the event. Seats for the events fill very quickly (last event filled in 7 days) so if you wish to attend, please register early in the store with your $5.00 investment.
Run time for the movie is about 75 minutes.
Wishing you all much light and many blessings,

WORKSHOPS:
Kundalini Yoga for Everyone
To Be Announced @ 7pm taught by Karel Zavadil;
Kundalini Yoga, as taught by Yogi Bhajan, is known as the yoga of awareness and is the most powerful yoga known. As brought to the West in 1969 by Yogi Bhajan, it produces results 16 times faster than other styles of yoga.
Its power comes from the Kundalini, an enormous reserve of untapped potential within each of us. It is normally depicted as a coiled or sleeping serpent, located in an area towards the base of the spine. By gradually and safely awakening this energy and employing its power, you will benefit greatly from an elevation in consciousness, promotion of physical well-being and an expansion of awareness. You will feel more relaxed and at ease with yourself. Your life will be transformed into one which is happy, healthy and harmonious.
Karel has been on his journey for over 20 years doing a variety of different meditation styles which lead him to the practices of yoga. He explored Hatha yoga from which he discovered the technology of Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan. Karel has been certified as a Kundalini Yoga teacher by the Kundalini Research Institute.
When new events and workshops become available we will post the details here and we will email anyone on our email list the announcement. If you wish to receive the emails and you haven't gotten anything from Willow Den to date please be certain to send us your contact information from our contact page. If you prefer not to be contacted please let us know and we will remove your information from the mailing list.
Light and Blessings,
Susan and Karel
