Earth Day in Milford, MI

Earth days celebrations are common this time of year, but the Milford MI Earth Friendly Family Festival is a unique celebration. Read on why its worth stopping by on April 25th at Carl's YMCA (YMCA membership not required to attend). 

Earth days are good opportunities to pick up on new ideas to be green, learn new ways to connect to the earth and have fun with music and family friendly workshops. But there are two workshops that you would rarely find at family friendly festivals that make this festival a must to attend. 

Storytelling and meditation workshops will be held in the Aerobics classroom and they are reason alone to attend, apart from the excellent displays by area exhibitors. So don't miss either. But if you do miss one, each will be offered twice - so mommy and daddy can take turns attending while the other watches the kids. 

Now that's truly family friendly

This month at WCC: Spirit

The focus of Sahaja Yoga meditation meetings at WCC continues to be the Spirit for January and February.

In the first meetup, we introduced the concept of the Spirit being our individual, true identity that reflects the source of creation and it's energy, the Kundalini represents the creator of all creation.

In meeting #2 last week, we explored the three qualities of the Spirit: Joy, Awareness and Truth. We reflected on how we might have experienced these three qualities in our own lives.

Today in meeting #3 for 2014, we will explore the four connections of the heart, where the spirit resides. The spirit is connected to the root chakra of mooladhara, there is a connection that goes out to all our friends and frenemies, a strong connection with the left-fifth chakra of guilt-free living and finally the crown chakra of Sahasrara.
