End of Year Celebrations at BE

/in /by

Can you believe there are just two weeks left in 2015? To celebrate the coming Winter Solstice and thank everyone for another fabulous year, we are honoured to host two very special Kirtans this weekend.

Winter Solstice 2015 Celebration:
MantraVani Kirtan Chanting Orchestra

Singing Devotional & Ancient Sacred Songs and Chants, Original and Contemporary Music

Date: Saturday, December 18th
Time: Doors at 7:30pm 
Tickets: $30 at the door

Feel your heart expand and spirit soar at this Festival of Light and Joy as we all Sing in Resounding Joy! A non-traditional Vancouver tradition, the MantraVani Orchestra has been playing to sold out audiences for nearly 25 years.

This annual event beautifully combines music, colour and ritual to create a highlight of the season for many and a delightful discovery for first timers. As the musicians and singers draw us deeper into a universe of song and chant, there is a warm invitation for audience participation. The music touches the emotional heart with subtlety giving fresh meaning to the ordinary and spiritual experiences of our lives.

Demystifying Death – 3 Upcoming Events

/in /by

 

 Demystifying Death

The only certainty in life is death, and yet we all too often live with a fear of this eventuality. The primary mandate at Bridge & Enrich is to answer the core question of “Who Am I” , awakening to one’s peak potential. But living in fear of death (and living) keeps many of us from experiencing all that this life has to offer. Over the next few weeks, we have three special Demystifying Death events scheduled to explore our relationship with death and dying.

1. Conscious Dying Workshop with Tarron Estes
– Public Talk

“Occupy Death” – Public Talk with Tarron Estes of the Conscious Dying Institute

Date: Friday, November 20th
Time: 7:00pm–9:30

What does it mean to “occupy” death, to transform and restore the experience of dying to its sacred place in the celebration and beauty of life? Join Tarron Estes, in exploring some of the principles and concepts behind Conscious Dying Education. Through her lecture, and opportunities for reflection and dialogue, discover how we can increase our capacity to be fully present and become supportive end-of-life companions in our communities.

More information here (please RSVP to attend)

 2. Relaxing into Death & Dying Conversations
– Last Evening in a 3-Part Series

The Evening’s Intention: “What Can We Do?”

Date: Friday, November 27th
Time: 7:00pm

We open the space to look at possibilities for a collective and or a collaboration, and what would be the next steps. An informal environment to learn about the different perspectives and expertise each of us has to offer and an opportunity to expand awareness about this transforming and transformative subject of death.

More information here

3.  A Near-Death Experience: Rediscover Your Personal Divinity

Lecture by Stephanie Banks, 
Author of A Soulful Awakening

Date: Saturday, December 5th
Time: 7:30pm–10:00pm (doors open at 7:00pm)

In August of 2012, Stephanie Banks suffered a traumatic mountain biking accident, a catastrophic event that nearly took her life but instead it catapulted her into a heightened state of awareness as she experienced her life and the universe from another perspective. What Stephanie shares will bring depth and clarity into your own life in such a way that you will feel inspired to rediscover your own personal divinity.

Please RSVP [email protected] to attend.

Ayurvedic Cleansing & Mind Calming Herbs at BE

Pancha Kriya Certified Organic Herbs are now available at B.E.

According to ancient Ayurvedic yogic practises, the two main herbs that are used daily for cleansing the system and balancing the vital energies are Neem Leaf and Haritaki Fruit.

Neem Leaf tea is used to clean the mouth , the intestines and detoxify the liver. It also promotes healthy hair + skin.
Harataki Fruit tea nourishes all body tissues, improves digestion, promotes the absorption of nutrients, aids in expelling accumulated waste, increases oxygen levels in the blood up to 300% and activates the non-mechanical parts of the brain. For centuries Haritaki has been called “king of the medicines” by Ayurvedic healers. 

For further information including other certified organic Ayurvedic herbs (Holy Basil/Tulsi, Triphala, Tumeric), please visit the YAHpothecary online.

Family Constellation Workshop with Jan Hull

Sunday, April 12th (10:00am–5:30pm)

Family Constellation Work was developed by Bert Hellinger, now well into his 80s. He grew up as a boy in Germany through the personal and cultural impact of World War ll. With the support of his parents, he fled to Africa as a 19-year-old priest and became a welcomed member of the Zulu people. Here, he learned the intricacies of Zulu family system principles and how to utilise the mystery of systemic knowing fields for insight and healing. After 20 years he made the decision to return to Germany and immerse himself in Eastern Philosophy and Western Psychotherapy. By brilliantly combining his Shamanic and Eastern teachings with Western psychology, he refined the tool of Family Constellation Work grounded in the natural laws of human relationships and their often unrealised effects on the individual.

CONFLICTING THOUGHT PATTERNS, The Four Tattvas & Energy Healing

Saturdays 2:00pm–4:00pm

Inspired by and based on Vedic teachings expressed by an enlightened master from India, Paramahamsa Nithyananda, this workshop will be facilitated by Ma Sindoori who has been ordained as a teacher by Nithyananda. The group will be small, of 7 or less, and will pave the way for you to identify the conflicting thought patterns that are blocking the manifestation of the reality you wish to live. How are these conflicting thought patterns limiting us from seeing and creating a future that we want and living a life that we want to live? Is it really possible to go beyond these limitations? We will gain an understanding of how our “root thought patterns give birth to conflicting thought patterns which are the basis of all conflicts we experience in our life.”

In all the conflicts you experience in your life – whether your relationships, your career, your health, any aspect of your life – if you look deeply, you will see that you are living in a condition of “no integrity” in those aspects of your life. 

Dates coming up: May 2nd and May 30th (chai will be offered!)

For more information and to RSVP please visit our Conflicting Thought Patterns page.

VOLUNTEERING at Bridge & Enrich

Volunteering at BE is an opportunity to practice the stewardship of a sacred space in service of self and others. BE exists to serve, and we can express gratitude for this service through maintaining the infrastructure and participating in the many avenues of expression that this space supports. A metaphor that we like is of the Goddess Kwan Yin, whose thousand hands work to serve all sentient beings with mercy and compassion. All of us together make up the thousand arms of Kwan Yin, and through our service we become extensions of this compassionate service, enriching everyone and everything that crosses our path. This is the intention of BE, and we are grateful for the hand that you lend to manifest its highest potential of service and beauty. More information here.
 
Well, this is our news for April. And “Who Am I” is the question of the month. 

Deep gratitude for our connection,

Bridge & Enrich
