BURNING BOWL CEREMONY WITH WALTER PERSCHKE – 7 to 8pm $10 The Burning Bowl ceremony is a traditional ritual of release and letting go of what does not serve us now. The equinox, solstice and New Year all present opportunities for renewal and releasing everything in your life that is holding you back; especially negative thoughts and emotions, bad habits, unhealthy relationships, old hurts, grudges and regrets — anything that burdens your mind. Ask yourself these questions: What do I want cleansed? What do I want to give up? What do I want gone from my life? The Burning Bowl ceremony is also known as the Phoenix Ceremony. It is about letting go, but it is also about rising from the ashes, renewed as the Phoenix. Join us in this powerful celebration of letting go and rising renewed. Location information: Burr Ridge. Details available when registering. Call 312-786-0077, or send us an email requesting the Burr Ridge address to: SpiritualLearningCenter@gmail.com . www.SpiritualLearningCenter.com FREE PARKING.

GONG MEDITATION WITH ANDRE PERAZA – 7 to 8pm. $25 Gong meditations are one of the most deeply healing and restorative meditations possible, particularly because of the deep state of relaxation that is attained in response to the sound vibration. The gong works on many levels from the physical to emotional and spiritual in order to heal and transform. As the sound of the gong creates deep relaxation and clears the mind, it also aids in the reorganization of emotional energy. Gong meditation participants typically lie face up on a yoga mat or blanket in resting pose, (Shivasana), or sit in a chair to experience the tremendous healing sounds and vibrations.
