VEGETARIAN COOKING WORKSHOP with Carol Crenshaw

Saturday, July 3, Time: 10 AM - 1 PM, $60 including a complete dinner
Ayurveda, the world's oldest system of natural medicine, teaches that we can maintain "perfect health" through a proper balance of the five basic elements: Space, Air, Fire, Water and Earth. The food we eat can help reduce stress, raise energy levels and strengthen the immune system. This special workshop will be part lecture and part cooking class. Under the expert direction of Carol Crenshaw, students will prepare and eat tasty foods that can benefit their Ayurvedic body type and enhance their personal health. Carol will personally instruct participants in the planning and preparation of a gourmet vegetarian dinner. Following Carol's workshop, students will feast on their creations.


BRAIN SCIENCE AND YOGA SCIENCE WORKSHOP, Charles Crenshaw

Saturday, July 3, Time: 2-4:30 PM, $35
Many scientists today are researching the connection between spirituality and the brain. Throughout this afternoon workshop, Charles will explore the biological basis of spirituality and will share the latest developments in the new field of "neuro-theology." Is God all in our heads? Come to this workshop and find some interesting answers.


PRANAYAMA AND SWARODHA BREATHING WORKSHOP, Charles Crenshaw

Sunday, July 4, Time: 10 AM-12:30 PM, $35
We possess no greater blessing than the faculty of breath. In fact, the ancient Hebrew tradition teaches us that "breath is life and life is breath." During this special afternoon workshop Charles will share his rich knowledge of pranayama breathing practices to optimize your intake of vital prana. And the effects will be dramatic! You will immediately feel more energetic as you enhance your overall health and vitality.
