Together Spokane Central Region Town Hall

Jessie Jo and Matthew Chavez team together once again to bring you 'Rhythm of the Soul', a special experience that combines the healing powers of both sound and breath.
Chosen with love, the tones played have shown results in calming the body. Using a variety of different instruments such as crystal bowls, gongs, and more, tune into the healing abilities of such sacred tools. Jessie will use a variety of instruments to ground you before the breathwork session and guide you into a state of bliss at the end.
Matthew will guide a breathwork experience that invites you to explore your internal landscape for healing, growth and self-discovery. In this group experience, we will co-create a sacred space that will allow you to build a deep relationship with your breath so that it becomes a catalyst for your personal awakening and overall well-being.
The potent combination of conscious rhythmic breathing, breath holds, and intentionality crafted music will help guide you through the terrain of your inner space, helping you release old wounds, stressors, fears, and doubts. With every inhale and exhale, you will be drawn closer to your authentic self, awakening dormant potentials and inner pharmacy.

Speaker: Joshua White, Forest Supervisor, Colville National Forest

Healthy forests deliver benefits that people need, but due to past management and a history of fire suppression, our forests are unhealthy and in need of restoration. To address the departure of our landscape and reduce the risk of uncharacteristically severe disturbances, we must restore the health and resilience of the Colville National Forest, minimize detrimental impacts of disturbance to important values, and provide relevant opportunities to our communities. Our Forest is departed from its healthy and resilient state. This departure means that the Forest cannot meet the needs of the people, especially in the face of increasing wildfire risk and climate change. In many cases, our landscapes have crossed a threshold and cannot restore themselves without meaningful collaborative management and active management, including use of wildfire, will be necessary. For the past 8 years, the Colville National Forest has been working to change the trajectory of our forested landscapes, and to do so at a meaningful pace and scale. This presentation will highlight successes and challenges the Forest Service has faced moving toward a meaningful restoration program, the opportunities moving into the future, and the challenges faced every day.

All are Welcome! Come the First and Third Tuesdays at 6pm. We are focusing on Sri Easwaran's form of passage meditation and his 8-Point Program for daily living, currently meeting at the Spokane Buddhist Temple. This form of meditation fits with any spiritual path. Passage meditation was designed specifically for the Western “monkey mind.” It is a very disciplined approach to slowing down and focusing. It is difficult, but very rewarding! We are currently studying Sri Easwaran’s book "Passage Meditation". Questions, call Lou Ann at (509) 590-3512
