SUMMARY:Kirtan w/ Mantra Mandala
DESCRIPTION:Doors open at 5:30pm\, Kirtan is 6-7:30pm. Please arrive early for ample time to park and settle in.\nWhat is kirtan? \nDerived from a Sanskrit root meaning to call\, recite\, praise\, or glorify\, put simply\, kirtan is the act of praising and glorifying some form of divinity. While such glorification can be expressed in a variety of ways\, including through poetry\, drama\, dance\, or any form of oral recitation\, kirtan\, in its most well-known form\, is the call and response singing of a Sanskrit mantra. Tap into the spiritual energy of bhakti yoga\, the yoga of love and devotion\, as you sing your way to joy and peace. \nMantra Mandala: \nMantra Mandala is a kirtan band based in Asheville\, NC. They weave melody\, rhythm\, and harmony to create an immersive sound that invites listeners into a journey of meditative bliss and devotion. \nMantra Mandala will feature Jeremy Staum (vocals\, harmonium)\, Nina Kawar (vocals\, percussion)\, Mackenzie Wilkins (vocals\, drums) and Vishudda Regner (drums\, kartals). \nThe band’s name\, Mantra Mandala\, represents the intention behind their music. Mantra and mandala are both meditation tools. Mantra is the repetition of sacred sounds. Mandala is a geometric design that represents the wholeness of the Self. The band’s music is like a mandala formed of mantras\, transporting listeners into the state of connectedness that is yoga. \nDoors open at 5:30pm\, Kirtan is 6-7:30pm. Please arrive early for ample time to park and settle in.\nSliding Scale: $10- $30 \nPlease use the drop down menu to pay what you can to support this local band!\nNo one turned away due to lack of funds.  \n\n \nPLEASE NOTE: We encourage pre-registration for all programming.

SUMMARY:Yogi Book Club: Who Do You Want To Be When You Grow Old By Richard J. Leider & David Shapiro
DESCRIPTION:Free Community Event!\n \nGrab your book and save the date! Special guest community member Rob Koegel is co-hosting this round with Stephen Volkman\, so please join us in community to discuss “Who Do You Want to Be When You Grow Old?: The Path of Purposeful Aging” by Richard J. Leider & David Shapiro. \nCommunity Members are welcome to join even if they are unable to finish the book\, as there is much value to be gained from discussion.  \nPlease sign up in advance so we know to expect you! \n*ACY does not provide copies of the book. Please consider checking out from your local library\, or buying used. The audiobook is available as well. \nThis book brings to life the dramatic differences between two views of aging. The first\, by far the most common\, is fearful of “getting old.” The second\, while aware of age-related challenges\, is intrigued by the untapped possibilities of “growing old.” Some of the questions we will explore in our highly interactive discussion are: \nWhat enables some elders to blend wisdom with grace\, purpose with meaning\, and personal transformation with social contribution? What can they teach us about how to make the most of these life-enhancing opportunities? \nHow does living in an ageist society affect how we think about and respond to the complex process of aging? \nHow can we deepen our ability to use the challenges and possibilities of aging to hone our inner strengths and to become more of the person we long to be? \nSince our discussion will be based on the questions\, concerns\, andexperiences of the participants\, please join us even if you have only read part of this book. \nPlease create a Mindbody account for each participant if registering more than 1 person. If you have any questions regarding registration\, please email Kelsey at  kelsey@ashevillecommunityyoga.org \nLate Policy: Doors will close at the workshop start time. We encourage you to arrive at least 15 minutes before the workshop start time to ensure there is ample time to park\, check in and settle in to your space. We do have a 10 minute grace period\, and we encourage you to call the studio to let us know if you are running behind. If you are later than 10 minutes after the start of the workshop\, there is a chance you will not be able to enter and no refund will be given. \n\nCapacity: Please note: Some workshops will fill to capacity of 28 students.
