Having Been Disturbed
A Series in Yoga for the Emotional Body
Led by Kenneth Robinson, M.S., M.T.S. and Linda Manning, Ph.D.
The seeker should not stop until he finds.
When he does find, he will be disturbed.
After having been disturbed, he will be astonished.
Then he will reign over everything.
--The Gospel of Thomas

This three-weekend series will include a study of
basic personality structures--how we are formed and shaped in childhood—
and how these structures effect our feelings, perceptions
and relationship strategies now. The point is not to find our flaws,
but to make us aware of some of the often hidden forces that drive us.
Together through brief lecture, group discussion, and practice—
and with kind attention to emotional and physical safety—
we will focus on presence, breath, and embodiment
and their part in helping us experience grace and gain our freedom.
Participants, if they choose, will have opportunities to bring the particulars
of their own lives to this exploration.
Friday 7pm—9pm
Saturday 9am—5pm
Sunday 9am—5pm
Please bring a sitting cushion and wear clothes suitable for movement.
Cost for each weekend is $300 for those who register at least one week prior to the workshop.
$325 for late registration.
Attending all three sessions is recommended, but participants may sign up for each weekend individually. To register, send $100 nonrefundable deposit payable to:

Open A Little More
Led by Kenneth Robinson, M.S., M.T.S.,
and Linda Manning, Ph.D.
I cursed myself for my poverty,
called myself various names,
discovered wounding phrases for myself,
priceless and rich finds of abusive terms which I heaped on myself.
I kept this up until I was nearly home.
When I got to the door, I discovered I had lost my keys.

Friendship is a creative and subversive force.
It claims that intimacy is the secret law of life and the universe.
If approached in friendship,
the unknown, the anonymous, the negative, and the threatening
gradually yield their secret affinity with us.
