Organized as a series of events, participants can choose the direction of their greatest interest at their own pace. These events vary from formal workshops to dynamic conversations, sharing perspectives on a range of topics relevant to women being happy, healthy and holy. Our aim is to cultivate more enriching life experiences that are stepping-stones to knowledge, discovery, and action. The Women's Circle is a means to foster connectedness to other like-minded women. As our relationships grow into concentric circles of influence, we expand our opportunities for connecting, sharing and networking. The vision of the Women's Circle is to create a deeper bond to our inner selves, to recognize our innate gifts as women, to enrich all of our relationships and to be more mindfully active in our communities.

Naad Yoga Workshop with Prabhu Nam Kaur: The Sound Current Transmitted Through Shabd
Saturday, August 23, 2008 from 10:30-12:30
STUDIO 12, 2525 Eighth St (between Dwight & Parker), Berkeley
$25 advance registration, $31 at the door
Join us for an uplifting experience of sacred chant in the Sikh tradition with Shabd Master Prabhu Nam Kaur. Get your tickets early and save $$.
Naad Yoga is the ancient science of sound and its ability to transform matter and consciousness. Within Naad Yoga is the practice of shabd expressed through kirtan (devotional singing). In the Sikh tradition, kirtan derives from Shabd Guru, songs of God spoken or sung by saints and sages in ecstatic consciousness. These songs and chants have the power to vibrate the mind, body and heart of the one who sings them into the same state of ecstasy from which the songs originally came.
Prabhu Nam Kaur has been a student of Shabd Guru for over 30 years. She will lead you into the sound current and help you discover your own unique relationship with Naad. Her album, 'Mother's Blessing', co-stars her famous daughter, Snatam Kaur, who she taught since birth. Co-hosted by Cherie (Siri Gian Kaur) and Yolanda (Pritam Hari Kaur)
Music available through www.spiritvoyage.com
