SUMMARY:Tai Chi-Level 1
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Arlene Faulk \nThis class is for students who been active in the Beginners’ class for up to a year. Students will continue to learn the movements of the Yang Style short form by Cheng Man-ch’ing. \nArlene Faulk\n \nTai Chi has transformed my life. I spent my first year seated in a chair\, doing Tai Chi moves as best as I could. Very slowly I learned to walk again through the practice of the slow\, deliberate walk that Tai Chi teaches. \nIn my published book\, Walking on Pins and Needles: A Memoir of Chronic Resilience in the Face of Multiple Sclerosis\, I tell my dramatic  personal story of experiencing years of debilitating symptoms as I ascended the corporate ladder\, landed on my couch for two years\, then moved through a zig-zag path to find comfort and healing through Chinese medicine and Tai Chi.  \nTai Chi was my guide in managing pain\, increasing  overall balance\, strength and learning how to relax. Through the practice I discovered my calling and have been teaching Tai Chi for over 20 years. \nI teach my students what continues to be life-enhancing for me: Tai Chi is not about trying harder; it’s about letting go\, being in the moment\, feeling balance and the fluidity of energy. \n312.642.0722 | Email | Website

SUMMARY:Introduction to Vajrayana Buddhism
DESCRIPTION:Introduction to Vajrayana Buddhism\nWith Lopön Barbara Ryan\nFriday\, May 15\, 2015 6:00 pm—8:00 pm (public talk: “The Four Reminders That Turn the Mind Toward the Dharma”) \nSaturday\, May 16\, 2015 9:00 am—5:00 pm \nSunday\, May 17\, 2015 9:00 am—5:00 pm \nAfter his enlightenment the Buddha taught his direct experience of the Truth in gradual stages\, allowing his students to develop their individual capacity for insight and then to slowly refine this. Reflective of this wisdom\, the Vajrayana path does not stand alone but is steeped in the fundamental teachings of the Hinayana path of self-liberation and then enriched by the Mahayana teachings on genuine love and compassion for all beings. This weekend program will further explore the relationship between these three yanas or vehicles to deepen our understanding of the Buddhist path. \nWith this foundation\, the skillfulness of the Vajrayana cultivates the personal understanding that enlightenment is not something far away and needing to be gained from somewhere else. Instead we come to realize that it is ingrained in us as our birthright\, our essential true nature that needs only to be uncovered. Through beginning to look at the skillful methods of the Vajrayana\, we will also explore how they impact our view of the world and our lives. \nLed by Lopön Barbara Ryan\, Senior Student of Mindrolling Jetsun Khandro Rinpoche\, and the Head of the Office of Practice and Study at Mindrolling Lotus Garden\, this program is open to all who are interested in the Buddhist path and will include teachings\, group meditation\, individual instruction\, and discussion. \nRegistration\nContact Julie Heegaard\, Tsogyaling Executive Director\, at 847.491.1122 x25 or click here to email to get additional information about the event location.

SUMMARY:Teachings of the Buddha
DESCRIPTION:Sensei Mui will present a workshop on the Teaching of the Buddha. \nThis month’s workshop will focus on the Buddha’s analysis of mind. We can analyze the mind by seeing what it does and expose its nature. \nIn the Buddha’s teaching the mind creates Samsāra. Samsāra literally means “wandering-on.” Samsāra is not a place but process: the tendency to keep creating worlds and then moving into them. As one world falls apart\, you create another one and go there. At the same time\, you bump into other people who are creating their own worlds\, too. \nThe play and creativity of the process can be enjoyable. It would be harmless if world making didn’t involve so much suffering. The worlds we create keep caving in and giving us suffering and confusion instead of peace of mind and happiness. \nThis is why the Buddha tried to find the way to stop samsāra-ing. \nIn this workshop we will investigate our own personal “world-making”.. \nRSVP here: hongaku@me.com

SUMMARY:Core Teaching of the Buddha
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Venerable Shaku Mui (Sensei Mui) \nAt Heartwood in the upstairs Classroom \nThe teaching of the Buddha as taught in the Pali Canon gives us instructions on how to be happier\, more at peace\, and free of the causes of emotional pain. The main focus of the Buddha’s teaching was about “suffering” and the cessation of “suffering”. \nDuring the 49 years Siddhattha Gotama (Shakyamuni Buddha) taught\, developed and addressed ideas that are today being confirmed by cognitive psychology\, neuroscience and quantum physics. \nThese ongoing workshops will pick a different theme each month; we will explore the myriad forms of human experience and dive deeply into our own personal experiences as well. In this way we can better understand the causes of our own psychological development and that of others. We will view the teaching from the Buddha’s perspective\, followed by analyzing the teachings as how they apply to us as individuals\, and conclude with a meditation. \nThe Buddha offered us 40 objects of meditation and many variations on how to meditate on them. Giving us a diverse toolbox from which to draw. \nFor more information about Ven. Mui and his programs please see his website at www.hongaku.net.

SUMMARY:Study Class IV
DESCRIPTION:Led by Tsogyaling teachers\, these ongoing classes will offer study and discussion of meditation texts and introduce contemplation and compassion practices. Students of all faiths\, philosophies and walks of life who are interested in exploring this path are welcome. Class is offered on a drop-in basis; begin any time. Classes are held in the second-floor Heartwood classroom with the exception of the Vajrasattva Feast which is held in the Skylight Event Space. \n4th Sunday\nVajrasattva Sadhana\nKnown as one of the most precious and profound Dzogchen Sadhanas within Vajrayana\, this profound Sadhana from the Ati Zabdon Terma of the great master Terdag Lingpa is filled with blessings and merit. This Sadhana contains within it the entire meaning of the profound Vajrayana path. This practice is open for authorized students only. Coordinated by Nancy Floy and Trish Mooney. For initial registration\, contact Nancy at 847.491.1122 x11 or email. \nNancy Floy\n \nI am the founder and director of Heartwood Center for Body Mind Spirit and founder of the Heartwood Cancer Program. My vision\, more than 20 years ago\, was to create a refuge and sanctuary where people of all walks of life could come together in community to learn and grow and heal.  I have been practicing Asian Medicine for nearly 30 years and bring experience with both acupuncture and energy healing as well as mindfulness meditation.  Treatment sessions include time for the patient to speak about what is causing their suffering and allowing the treatment strategy to arise organically.  A session includes bodywork for relaxation\, acupuncture to delve deeper into clearing and balancing the channels and guided meditation to soothe and settle the mind consciousness.  I am trained in Tibetan\, Japanese and Chinese Medicine and seamlessly weave these beautiful modalities together to provide a path out of the suffering that comes with being human.  To schedule a treatment session call or text:  847-491-9858 email: nancyfloy@heartwoodcenter.com\nCredentials: MA\, LAc\, Dipl Ac \n847.491.9858 | Email

SUMMARY:Tai Chi-Level 1
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Arlene Faulk \nThis class is for students who been active in the Beginners’ class for up to a year. Students will continue to learn the movements of the Yang Style short form by Cheng Man-ch’ing. \nArlene Faulk\n \nTai Chi has transformed my life. I spent my first year seated in a chair\, doing Tai Chi moves as best as I could. Very slowly I learned to walk again through the practice of the slow\, deliberate walk that Tai Chi teaches. \nIn my published book\, Walking on Pins and Needles: A Memoir of Chronic Resilience in the Face of Multiple Sclerosis\, I tell my dramatic  personal story of experiencing years of debilitating symptoms as I ascended the corporate ladder\, landed on my couch for two years\, then moved through a zig-zag path to find comfort and healing through Chinese medicine and Tai Chi.  \nTai Chi was my guide in managing pain\, increasing  overall balance\, strength and learning how to relax. Through the practice I discovered my calling and have been teaching Tai Chi for over 20 years. \nI teach my students what continues to be life-enhancing for me: Tai Chi is not about trying harder; it’s about letting go\, being in the moment\, feeling balance and the fluidity of energy. \n312.642.0722 | Email | Website
