Sacred Music / Holiday Singing Group

It is that time of year and we are ready to take our “choir” to the next level. If you love to sing or would like to try, you are welcome to join us! We will learn many new pieces this year along with plenty of our old favorites. We start this Wednesday and will sing most Wednesdays from now through the holidays, starting about 7:45PM, right after potluck – hope to see you there! P.S. We are especially in need of Basses!

Meditation at Polestar

| With longer nights and the holy days of winter coming, tis the season to meditate! We offer instruction in meditation at Polestar and many of our group meditations are open to the public. With our traditional 8 hour Christmas meditation coming up soon, we are hosting longer sessions here, especially on the weekends. For a full schedule, contact us soon. |

| Introduction to Raja Yoga |
|
| This new 10 day intensive is an immersion in the teachings of Raja Yoga as presented by Paramhansa Yogananda. Raja Yoga (the “Royal Highway) combines Karma, Bhakti and Gyana yoga with the techniques of meditation and pranayama that are the essence of the yogic path. This class is available as a “stand-alone” workshop and also serves as our orientation for incoming Apprentices. For more information contact Robert at (808) 430-8009. |
