At Maho Bay, you create your own program. You may decide to spend the week sampling from all the workshops or focusing on a few teachers...the choice is yours.
Tara Bennett-Goleman, MA, and Daniel Goleman, PhD
Emotional Alchemy
Mindfulness—an observing, investigative awareness—can help us transform our disturbing emotions. Tara Bennett-Goleman, author of the best-selling Emotional Alchemy, and Daniel Goleman, author of the best-selling Emotional Intelligence, blend mindfulness and Buddhist psychology with neuroscience and cognitive therapy to explore ways to free ourselves from the powerful habits of reactivity that play out in our relationships, work, and daily lives. We also explore how we can transform emotional confusion, leading to a more genuine connection with ourselves and others.
Cyndi Lee
OM Yoga
Join New York City’s OM yoga center director Cyndi Lee for mindful flow yoga classes that help cultivate both the strength and purity of a yoga body and the clarity and awareness of a Buddha mind. We take mindfulness meditation right onto the mat in dynamic classes that offer creative sequencing, clear instruction, and plenty of personal attention and hands-on adjustments, allowing our practice to truly become a vibrant, grounded gateway to a more awakened life. Open to beginners and experienced practitioners alike. Bring your own yoga mat.
David Nichtern
Awakening From the Daydream
According to the Buddhist teachings of the Wheel of Life, we inhabit six realms based on strongly ingrained mental habits and emotional patterns, all the time thinking we are awake. But we are actually living in a daydream. Come explore the awakened state with David Nichtern, senior teacher in the Shambhala Buddhist lineage, Dean of Buddhist Studies at OM yoga, and Grammy and Emmy Award-winning composer, guitarist, and producer. davidnichtern.com
Steven Michael Pague
Exploring Fields of Elixir: Gathering Starlight
With Steven Michael Pague, longtime codirector and host of Omega’s Maho Bay program, we delve into the mysteries of qigong and tai chi. Through easy-to-learn yet profound movements, we discover how to access “the elixir within,” our inner medicine, and in doing so, take home practices we can readily duplicate to increase vitality, strengthen immune function, enhance creativity, and achieve more harmony and balance.
John Perkins
Achieving Peace Through Higher Consciousness
Before writing and teaching about shapeshifting, shamanism, and ecology, John Perkins worked for the World Bank and the U.S. government. He left when he realized he was part of a system that was transforming the once respected American republic into a feared empire. Having worked with shamans and indigenous populations around the world for four decades, Perkins, author of the best-selling Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, shows us how to achieve personal and global peace and prosperity by expanding our consciousness and shapeshifting our institutions.
Stephan Rechtschaffen, MD
Island Time: Living Fully in This Moment
Physician and cofounder of Omega, Stephan Rechtschaffen, teaches holistic approaches to time, longevity, stress reduction, and well-being. Through visualization techniques, mindfulness practices, and awareness exercises, the author of Timeshifting: Creating More Time to Enjoy Your Life and a coauthor of Vitality and Wellness, shows us how to slow down and come into the authentic and natural rhythms that are the result of living fully in the present moment
Annette Knopp
The Free Heart
Everyone yearns to live a life from the Free Heart. We all have an intuitive sense of what that might be, and yet too often feel that something is missing. In a nourishing setting, we use spiritual inquiry and deep listening to explore the natural perfection and true love of our innate "presence-heart-awareness," so that our yearning can translate itself into a living reality. Annette Knopp's background includes the nondual meditation traditions of India and Tibet, as well as modern Western integrative approaches. She is featured in the book Ordinary Women, Extraordinary Wisdom: The Feminine Face of Awakening. |
