Throughout the year, Green City Market showcases sustainable practices and is proud to be the first farmers markets in the country to require all of its farmers to be certified by a nationally recognized 3rd party agency. Farmers at Green City Market prioritize the health and wellbeing of their farmland, animals, and customers.

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

FAQs

What are my transport/parking options getting to the event?

We are located across the street from the Dempster St. CTA L station.  Parking meters are free in Evanston on Sundays.

Can anyone attend your meditation services?

Yes, all of our services are open to everyone. Newcomers are always welcome.

What should I wear to a meditation service?

We have no specific dress code at the Temple.

Since our practice involves seated meditation, we recommend that people attending the Temple wear clothing that is loose and comfortable enough to allow them to sit comfortably for an extended period of time.  Sitting in a chair is also an option.

Do I have to be a Buddhist to practice meditation?

No, it is not necessary to be a Buddhist to practice meditation. We have a number of people who regularly attend our meditation services who are not Buddhists. Anyone is able to practice meditation, regardless of their personal belief system.

Drumming has been a part of the community experience throughout history. Modern day people have rediscovered the power of joining with others in a shared music making experience. Music increases the immune response, expresses emotion, stimulates the brain, and nurtures the spirit.

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.

This class is for anyone who struggles with appreciating yourself as you are. Together we will explore what it means to be genuinely content and complete as human beings.

Can difficult emotions and the challenges of life be met with curiosity, steadiness, and humor? Do we already have everything we need to live our lives with simplicity free of self-aggression? The foundational views of the Buddhist teachings of the 4 Noble Truths and the Shambhala warrior principle of unconditional confidence will be the basis for our discoveries.

This course will begin with a day of meditation and study, (Saturday, July 13) providing the means for daily experimentation for the following weeknight sessions (Thursday, July 18 & 25), culminating with a final day (Saturday, Aug. 3) of study and dedication of the merit of our practice.

Each class includes guided meditation, contemplations, short presentations and time for discussion about how the material relates to our daily lives.

Egyptian Reflexology: Manual Neurotherapy By Dr. Rev. Wanona Wellspring, DN – Naprapathic Physician
The feet, hands, and ears contain points that reflect back to a specific body part or organ. By palpating the specific network of points on the feet and hands, the reflexology treatment can affect the body organs and glands and alleviate pain and discomfort in the body.

The art of reflexology has its roots in the walls of the Egyptian Physician’s tomb (c. 2450 B.C.), pre-dynastic China (3000 B.C>) and even to ancient India. Even Native Americans learned theories of reflexology that were passed to them by the Inca civilization.

Egyptian Reflexology of the feet and hands is a gentle form of manipulation that alleviates pain and discomfort in the body without also causing additional pain. Whereas the Ingham method notices the pain and discomfort in the areas of complaint in the person, Egyptian Reflexology prefers to approach the treatment of the feet and hands in a more subtle method. The Egyptian treatment was developed by Lynn Nelson in 1989 and recommends a more subtle approach to alleviating pain and discomfort. The method Nelson describes allows the feet or hands to relax under the tender manipulation of the Reflexologist who is trained to find crystallization and tension in the tissues and gently work out these and other signs of pathology within the comfort range of the recipient.
Within the two-day Egyptian Reflexology course, you will learn the anatomy of the feet and hands, basic procedural steps to Egyptian Reflexology, precautions and contraindications. In addition, the therapist is trained in techniques that will not harm their own hands while giving treatments, an increasing problem among bodyworkers in general. Without proper training, some therapists experience damage to joints of the thumb and even carpal tunnel syndrome and aching muscles in the forearms from overwork. This is never the case with Egyptian Reflexology. The practitioner works slowly and gently, never forcing the tissues to yield under extreme pressure. The body has a natural ability to heal if given gentle manipulation and time between treatments to absorb the crystals and relax. It is better to offer a series of treatments than to work very deep in one treatment. The recipient is encouraged to relax, and drink water during the treatment to help with the removal of toxins, and to take deep breaths to relax.

During this weekend you will be learning:
** The history of Reflexology

** Reasons why to work the feet

** Anatomy of the foot

** Egyptian Reflexology Techniques

** How to give a Reflexology Session & More

To become a Certified Egyptian Reflexologist there are additional practice sessions required. Dr. Wanona Wellspring, DN offers certification courses in Egyptian Reflexology several times a year at Spring Creek Holistic.

By attending this workshop, you will learn about harvesting, managing plant diseases and pests, how to soak your greens, work with climate, keeping a tidy garden, and how to start seeding fall crops.

By making a suggested donation of $5, it helps maintain The Edible Gardens as a free, education resource to the Chicago community.

Enjoy a deeply relaxing crystal bowl meditation while three acupuncture points will be activated for the Spring season.

Join our resident healers, sound healer, Venus Sabay and acupuncturist Carrie Sesterhenn, for another workshop that will take healing to a whole new level.

The insertion and stimulation of needles increases blood flow to promote healing, releases endorphins, decreases the sympathetic nervous system activity (fight or flight response), activates the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest response), and relaxes overly tight musculature.

Quartz crystal has the ability to interact and align with the body’s very own crystalline properties. From the bones, connective tissue, blood, and DNA, these intricate structures are crystalline in nature, receiving and transmitting electrical currents throughout the body.

The pure tones of the crystal bowls encourage cellular harmony, facilitating a healing response within the body. While clearing and balancing the human energy field, the high frequency vibrations will create a more optimistic state of mind and well being.

Meditation can be done lying down or sitting up.
