We are thrilled to welcome Benjamin Dreyer to the shop to discuss his bestselling book Dreyer’s English. Benjamin will present his book followed by a Q&A and book signing.

About the book:

We all write, all the time: books, blogs, emails. Lots and lots of emails. And we all want to write better. Benjamin Dreyer is here to help.

As Random House’s copy chief, Benjamin Dreyer has upheld the standards of the legendary publisher for more than two decades. He is beloved by authors and editors alike—not to mention his followers on social media—for deconstructing the English language with playful erudition. Now in Dreyer’s English, he distills everything he has learned from the myriad of books he has copyedited and overseen into a useful guide for everyone who wants to put their best prose foot forward. As authoritative as it is amusing, Dreyer’s English offers lessons on punctuation, from the underloved semicolon to the enigmatic en dash; the rules and non-rules of grammar, including why it is OK to begin a sentence with “And” or “But” and to confidently split an infinitive; and why it’s best to avoid the doldrums of the Wan Intensifiers and Throat Clearers, including “very,” “rather,” “of course,” and the dreaded “actually.” Dreyer will let you know whether “alright” is all right (sometimes) and even help you brush up on your spelling—though, as he notes, “The problem with mnemonic devices is that I can never remember them.”

And yes: “Only godless savages eschew the series comma.”

Chockful of advice, insider wisdom, and fun facts, this book will prove to be invaluable to everyone who wants to shore up their writing skills, mandatory for people who spend their time editing and shaping other people’s prose, and—perhaps best of all—an utter treat for anyone who simply revels in language.

About the author:

BENJAMIN DREYER is vice president, executive managing editor and copy chief, of Random House. He began his publishing career as a freelance proofreader and copy editor. In 1993, he became a production editor at Random House, overseeing books by writers including Michael Chabon, Edmund Morris, Suzan-Lori Parks, Michael Pollan, Peter Straub, and Calvin Trillin. He has copyedited books by authors including E. L. Doctorow, David Ebershoff, Frank Rich, and Elizabeth Strout, as well as Let Me Tell You, a volume of previously unpublished or uncollected work by Shirley Jackson. A graduate of Northwestern University, he lives in New York City.

Meditation is scientifically proven to offer several health benefits in addition to emotional and spiritual healing. Join Eric Soderholm and/or a Guest Meditation Facilitator every Thursday night for an opportunity to relax and go within.

Learn various meditation techniques to include in your own meditation practice. Guided meditation helps you focus inward and release the tension and stresses of the day. You will sleep like a baby and be refreshed for the weekend.

We welcome you to experience the transformative power of a group healing circle! A healing circle is a gathering of like-minded individuals who come together to participate in healing or energy work. Healing power is created from our shared intention to give and to receive in an authentic, heart centered way. Within this circle, we are reminded, “All healing is self-healing” and to heal another, is to also heal the self. The United Healing Community serves as a catalyst to awaken your inner healer and to empower you on your path to your greatest self!

Love donations are appreciated! Collections go to a charity of choice and Soderworld Wellness Center.

ALL HEALERS ARE WELCOME! Please contact Regina Filomeno regina.filomeno@gmail.com or (708) 601-2995 to get set up to volunteer your healing services at this event!

Selection: Waking Life Dreams. What are they? An escape from reality or reality itself? Waking Life follows the dream(s) of one man and his attempt to find and discern the absolute difference between waking life and the dreamworld. While trying to figure out a way to wake up, he runs into many people on his way; some of which offer one sentence asides on life, others delving deeply into existential questions and life’s mysteries. We become the main character. It becomes our dream and our questions being asked and answered. Can we control our dreams? What are they telling us about life? About death? About ourselves and where we come from and where we are going? The film does not answer all these for us. Instead, it inspires us to ask the questions and find the answers ourselves. Runtime: 99 minutes

Discussion facilitated by: Sat Nam Member, Brian Androw

******GODDESS CHAKRA SERIES******
Join this special series to connect to your chakras through different Goddesses and their archetypes!

MAY 19–The first series will focus on the root, sacral, and solar plexus chakras, as we relate to the archetypes of the Mother, the Queen, and the Warrior.
We will explore each Goddess through mythology and meditation, evoking the strength and wisdom of each one.
JUNE 16–TBA

Embrace the Wisdom of your Moon Cycle through Movement and Meditation.

Join this sacred space to honor the goddess within, and welcome the flow instead of dreading it. In many cultures, a women’s cycle is revered and carries a wisdom that is considered the most spiritual and purifying. Let’s continue this tradition into the 21st century and embody the divine feminine!

We will map out the inner seasons and female archetypes of the cycle. Know how to use it creatively and feel empowered. Recognize what your body is communicating to you through menstrual pain, PMS, and body cravings.

Then we’ll shift into movement or meditation, or both. Whatever the circle needs at the time. Through movement medicine, we will balance hormones, enhance feminine energy, and delve into the different organs involved in the cycle (liver, heart, spleen, and kidneys). Through meditation, we will explore the pelvic bowl and how it channels your vitality and flow in the outside world. By connecting to our root place, we can define what the feminine means to us, and release any cultural or familial blocks to this sacred space within. We will end with a guided meditation to connect to your inner goddess.

Each monthly tune in will build upon the last. As we begin to redefine this magic, we’ll deepen our understanding of it’s power through sharing our experiences. Be a part of this women’s community, and let your cycle be heard!

Requirement: You must know where you are in your moon cycle.

NOTE: It’s OK if you are not experiencing your cycle (i.e.birth control, pregnancy), or are menopausal. Doing these exercises will allow you to feel more connected to your divine presence. Your energy creates empowerment and support for all women present.

Venus is the Medical Qi Gong teacher at Sat Nam Yoga, Sound Healer, and Energy Worker. For the past two years, she has felt immense joy and honor to help re-connect women (and herself) to the innate spiritual system that is the menstrual cycle. Through recognizing the need to voice all the ups and downs as a creative power instead of a “time of the month,” she has brought women together to see their cycles in a new light, and to find a more meaningful connection to the shadow side.

Come join us for a different kind of happy hour…

Shake off the stress of the week in a natural and healthy way with acupuncture & Reiki meditation!

Acupuncture is widely know for its stress relieving properties and blissed out feeling after a session. In this hour, attendees will get to

• Learn more about acupuncture and its benefits


• Learn more about Reiki and its benefits


• Experience a mini acupuncture treatment, sitting upright in a chair and utilizing acupuncture points on one ear


• Relax even deeper with a guided Reiki meditation (which you can use at home to bring peace to your daily life)


• Experience a brief hands-on Reiki session along with the meditation and acupuncture treatment

Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine are thousands of years old, and still the primary form of medicine in China. The individual is treated as an integrated whole. Acupuncture is able to influence health and sickness by stimulating meridians, or “energy pathways” along the body. These “energy pathways” are stimulated using single-use needles that are as thin as a hair. The goal of acupuncture is to put your body into a state that allows it to heal itself.

Reiki is over 100 years old. Studies have shown that an hour of Reiki is equivalent to four hours of sleep. This style of Reiki is meditation based, and focuses on healing self prior to starting to heal others. Both acupuncture and Reiki have been shown to lower cortisol, your stress hormone.

Problematic patterns in the body ‘play out’ in its tensegrity-organized forces. Chronic patterns involve the entire body while at the same time having local phenomena. While every body is organized uniquely, there are commonalities to these forces based on the principles of a tensegrity based structure. In this class the commonalities are discussed, and a theoretical basis is presented for organizing effective work quickly and efficiently.
The tensegrity principles are combined with the concept that it is possible to work deeply into tissue layers without having to apply heavy pressure. From this perspective you will learn how to work clients’ bodies from the inside out, and how to work around structures. When these are combined with the classic working into tissues, the body becomes ‘transparent’ to the practitioner in terms of pressure. How deep bodywork is done becomes a function of movement directing pressure into tissue rather than pressure on tissue. Perspective on the practitioner’s part becomes more three-dimensional relative to the client’s tissue structures compared to deep work that relies primarily on pressure. All structural, and many non-structural, technique approaches can function within this tensegrity framework. Dress in comfy clothing: shorts, yoga pants, sweats, t-shirts, tanks. NO JEANS bottom sheet, face cradle cover.

Dates: Thursday January 31st OR June 27th OR November 21st, 2019. from 10am-5pm

She has been studying with medicine men and women around the world for many years, integrates these sacred studies into the modern American society to bring healing. Her work is rooted heavily in the lineage’s of her teachers, and she is humbled to hold immaculate space backed by these ancient ways. Currently she travels the world to hold ceremony and teach yoga as she remains a ferocious student of the sacred paths.

Madison Rose is a 200 hr RYT Yoga Teacher, Musician, Singer/Song Writer, and Co-facilitator of Sacred Cacao Ceremony with her dear Sister and Teacher, Sam Bianchini. Her work is done in reverence to Spirit, the plants, the teachers, and holding sacred space for unconditional healing. She feels it is so important to stand in our vulnerability together, as an act of service, for not only ourselves but humanity and life as a whole. She has been working with Cacao for over 3 years now. It has provided immense growth and transformation in her life. She is humbled to join Sam as a Co-facilitator of this work.
