SUMMARY:Kirtan w/ Mantra Mandala
DESCRIPTION:Doors open at 4:30pm\, Kirtan is 5-6:30pm. 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). \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 4:30pm\, Kirtan is 5-6:30pm. 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: The Surrender Experiment: My Journey into Life's Perfection by Michael A. Singer
DESCRIPTION:Free Community Event!\n \nGrab your book and save the date! Community 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. \nFrom GoodReads.com: \nSpirituality is meant to bring about harmony and peace. But the diversity of our philosophies\, beliefs\, concepts\, and views about the soul often leads to confusion. To reconcile the noise that clouds spirituality\, Michael Singer combines accounts of his own life journey to enlightenment—from his years as a hippie-loner to his success as a computer program engineer to his work in spiritual and humanitarian efforts—with lessons on how to put aside conflicting beliefs\, let go of worries\, and transform misdirected desires. Singer provides a road map to a new way of living not in the moment\, but to exist in a state of perpetual happiness. \n\n \nFor more information on the book club facilitator Stephen\, please see his teacher profile here!  He teaches donation-based Warm Vinyasa Flow Mondays 7:30am-8:30am\, Gentle Flow Mondays 12:15-1:15pm\, and Warm Vinyasa Flow Tuesdays 4:15pm-5:15pm. \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 \n  \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.
