Kula Connection Gatherings
This year we'll meet for Pot - Luck ‘Visioning Gatherings' every other month on the last Sunday of the month from 5:30-7:30 PM
This gathering is a great place to bring a friend or neighbor who would like to meet our Kula in this informal, warm and friendly setting.
A typical gathering might look like:
5:30 PM - Welcome!
Pot Luck and Go-arounds to specifically share what is new and good in your life - what are you pleased about?
Co-listening time - get some time to be listened to with attention from another person. Share what's happening in your life these days, how's it going, what feels hard, what's going well? Then you give the gift of attention to another for the same amount of time.
Visioning for the Kula Center for Yoga
Closing - Appreciations of each other and the time spent together.
Meeting dates:
* January 27th 5:30-7:30 PM @ Katherine's
* March 30th
* May 18th (25th is Memorial Day weekend) We need a host
* July 27th

Together we do make a difference in this world of ours! Keep your perspective on what is real - join us!
We look forward to welcoming you to the Kula.
Pointing into stillness,
Katherine Banbury
Founder, Director and Teacher of Kula Center for Yoga
Kula is a Sanskrit word describing a community dedicated to exploring and inquiring into the science and practice of Yoga and life. Our intention is to directly experience freedom from suffering so we may promote happiness for all beings.
Kula classes, workshops, study groups, karma (service) opportunities, individual sessions and retreats are intended to deepen one's understanding of the historical, philosophical and practical application of Yoga to one's life in the broadest possible context.
The foundation of our teaching understands Yoga in a nondual perspective. We begin with the understanding that there is nothing for us to achieve or become. We are already perfection. We are complete as we are.
We begin with Patanjali's 8 fold path of Raja Yoga and Yoga's original Samkhya Philosophy to question what is, so we may clear away any misperceptions, confusion, and disturbances that occlude our realization of unity consciousness.
Our practice does not lead to a letting go, but to a natural abandonment of the "becoming" process.
A regular diet of Yoga practice reduces stress, quiets the mind, and rejuvenates and tones the body. Students learn to access the breath which informs and supports a welcoming and compassionate attitude both on and off the Yoga mat.
