The Goddess Ripens

Lammas Gathering with

Dances of Universal Peace

On Saturday, August 3 at 7:30pm, let's join together at Radiance to celebrate the abundance of late summer, the time of Great Ripening Gathering Harvest! Sarah will lead us in creating sacred space & building an altar together, and Yasmin will lead us in some Dances of Universal Peace from a series of goddess dances.

Bring items that represent the great mother, ripening & harvest for the altar we will co-create as an expression of our gratitude for the abundance of this season.

Suggested donation is $5-10 per person.  Call Radiance to let us know you plan to attend. 717-290-1517, or stop in to register.  Radiance is located at 9 W Grant St., across the cobblestones from Central Market in downtown Lancaster, PA.

Yasmin is a student of world religions as a vehicle for the cultivation of compassion between neighbors, culture and nature. She is a representative for the Sufi Ruhianiat and a leader for the Dances of Universal Peace.  

Sarah is a community herbalist, Reiki Master/Teacher and a priestess of the Goddess, initiated in the Reclaiming Tradition. She is owner of both Radiance and Herbs from the Labyrinth, LLC.

The Peace Dances are an experiment in sound, movement and community designed to "in form" us of the many mysterious ways we are ONE, united in a great web of compassion and diversity. In the Dance we use chants from many of the world's sacred traditions. We hold hands in a circle, moving with simple "folk dance" movement. There are no performers. All are participants. All are welcome.

Yoga Nidra: Better Than a Nap!

Yoga Nidra:
Better Than a Nap with Joy Kirstin
Saturday, July 27, 2013
1:00 - 4:00 pm
At Radiance, 9 W Grant St., in the heart of downtown Lancaster, PA


Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep) is an ancient relaxation practice that systematically induces complete mental, physical and emotional relaxation. As a guided meditation practiced while lying down, it is now used in clinical settings as an adjunctive treatment for insomnia, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and PTSD. It has shown itself as an effortless entry into a deep meditative state where your wholeness and authenticity await. 

Experience how this easy and effective practice supports increased health and joy, and how to use it towards achieving a life goal with greater ease. After this introduction, practitioners can continue to reap the benefits at home using a CD recording.  Joy’s CDs will be available for sale at the workshop. Beginners and experienced practitioners welcome; no movement involved. If possible, bring a pillow and blankets.

Cost for this workshop is $35.00.  To register, call Radiance at 717-290-1517, or stop in.
