This course will include an in-depth exploration of mindfulness, with special emphasis on relaxation of both the body and the mind., Mindfulness – open, non-judgmental awareness – can allow us a deep sense of relaxation and peace, as we learn to let go of control for a moment and connect with whatever is happening just as it is.    Each class will include guided meditation practice, teaching, and Q & A, as well as optional homework.  It is recommended, though not required, that you attend all four classes if possible.

Influenced by the rare meeting of Iyengar yoga and the ancient harmonizing art of Jin Shin Jyutsu, High Falls resident Zena Cohen has compiled her life's work into one publication, Alignment and the Sacred Core: A unified core is the foundation of wholeness, which offers a struggle-free approach to alignment that is deeply relaxing and can jointly awaken one more fully to instinctual intelligence. Taking readers on a journey of self-discovery, Zena explores health, healing and wholeness in fresh new ways, incorporating beautiful prose, poetry and illustrated yoga poses that invite each one of us to enter into an ever-deepening consciousness with an evolutionary zest.  Join author Zena Cohen for a discussion of her book Alignment and the Sacred Core.

An astrologer, Zen Master and certified Jin Shin Jyutsu practitioner, Zena has been enriched and guided by many masters and teachers such as American Zen Master Charlotte Joko Beck and Spiritual Master OSHO, whom she credits for opening and allowing the pioneering development of her creative and profound life’s work.  Her approach to wholeness is one of deep insight that invokes a sense of self-discovery and innovative ways of developing the healing arts and sciences both within herself and those with whom she works. It is this integrative approach that led her to writing and publishing Alignment and the Sacred Core.

Copies of this book will be available for purchase.  !0% of the proceeds will be donated to AWPL.
