“All we are is peace, love, and wisdom, and the power to create the illusion that we are not.” – Jack Pransky You have an inner knowing, something that is beyond your intellect, beyond your habits, beyond your circumstances. It’s always there guiding you, sometimes seemingly too quiet to hear over the noise. Culturally and psychologically it’s been ignored, misunderstood, and mistrusted – but it’s still there. It’s alive with possibility, and even though it is unpredictable it is 100% reliable. And amazing things are possible when you start to live from that space, when you let go of what has become normal to rediscover your nature… Living Wisdom is a transformative conversation. Through a mix of teaching, discussion, and experience this event is an invitation to insight – to see more clearly. Problems don’t look so problematic, you know what to do when it’s time, and you begin living an inspired life. This is an introductory group format for the kind of advanced work I’ve been doing with coaching clients over the last decade. In this workshop we’ll experience and explore: * The value of insight over problem-solving * The ‘Ladder of Consciousness’ * The two orientations of the mind * The nature of Wisdom * The inside-out nature of our experience $30 early bird // $35 day of About Michael McDonald: Michael McDonald is a transformational coach for entrepreneurs and executives, helping them flourish with more ease, authenticity, and inspiration.

Prendergast’s decades of experience as a psychotherapist and spiritual teacher, the area of the body that’s most difficult for people to connect with —given our survival fear and trauma—is our physical and energetic ground. This area in the lower belly and at the base of the spine corresponds with the root chakra in the Indian subtle body tradition, the lower dan tien in Taoism, and the hara in Japanese martial arts. While most spiritual traditions focus on opening the mind and the heart, they tend to avoid or undervalue the opening of the ground. In Dr. Prendergast’s experience, this area remains largely unconscious and deeply defended. However, with the correct understanding and quality of attention, we can consciously open our multidimensional ground and, as a result, experience a felt-sense of inner safety and stability that supports the full flowering of inner peace, freedom, and loving awareness—a truly embodied spirituality. Join Dr. Prendergast for a conversation with CIIS core faculty member in graduate department of East-West Psychology Dr. Sara Max Granovetter that dives deep into our personal, archetypal, and universal ground. Sharing insights from his latest book, Your Deepest Ground , Dr. Prendergast explains how we can begin to see through the false ground of our early conditioning and limited identity. Drawing from his teaching, and years working in sensing and inquiry practices, John invites you to begin your ground-opening exploration. John J. Prendergast, Ph.D. , is a spiritual teacher, author, retired psychotherapist, and retired adjunct professor of psychology who has taught at Esalen and Kripalu and online. He studied for many years with the sage Dr. Jean Klein as well as with the spiritual teacher Adyashanti. He is the author of the books In Touch and The Deep Heart . For more information, please visit his website . Sara Max Granovetter, Ph.D., LMFT, is a core faculty member in California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) graduate department of East-West Psychology. She received her bachelor's degree in philosophy from Harvard University, and her Ph.D. from CIIS in 2021. Her research explores how nonhuman animals serve as traumatic-numinous mirrors for contemporary human psyches. A practicing mindfulness-based psychotherapist, Sara’s clinical practice, pedagogy, and research weave together analytic psychology, Buddhism, ecopsychology, and posthumanism.

May 30 - Funny Lady (1975), 150 minutes, directed by Herbert Ross, starring Barbra Streisand, James Caan, and Omar Sharif.  Funny Lady , Barbra Streisand’s follow-up to her Broadway and Hollywood triumph Funny Girl (1968) was also the last film lensed by James Wong Howe. Though he had mastered the art of photographing noirs, westerns, domestic comedies, and full-color widescreen epics, with Funny Lady Howe proved he could also film a splashy musical as well as anyone, and it earned him an Oscar nomination. Funny Lady doesn’t reach the musical and dramatic heights of Funny Girl , but it’s still amply entertaining. Sit back and enjoy the great Streisand in a bevy of dramatic and comedic production numbers, including “More Than You Know,” “I Found a Million Dollar Baby (in a Five & Ten Cents Store),” “It’s Gonna Be a Great Day,” “Am I Blue,” and “How Lucky Can You Get.” May CinemaLit - The Camera of James Wong Howe This month we honor the work of the great Hollywood cinematographer James Wong Howe (1899-1976). Howe was born in the Canton province of China in 1899. His family immigrated to Pasco, Washington when Howe was a young boy. After toying with several possible careers, including bantamweight boxer and airplane pilot, Howe pursued his early interest in photography. He landed his first job in the film business at Famous Players-Lasky. He caught the attention of director Cecil B. DeMille, who made him an assistant camera operator. Rising in his profession, Howe became a perfectionist who excelled at innovative techniques of lighting without reliance on new technology, a trait that served him well in the transition from silence to sound. He took his work seriously, valuing good relations with the director in service to the desired composition, atmosphere, and dramatic or comedic mood. Though most of his films were shot in black and white, he excelled at color, earning Oscar nominations for the color films The Old Man and the Sea (1958) and Funny Lady (1975). A few key Howe titles: Peter Pan (1924), Mantrap (1926), Sorrell and Son (1927), Laugh, Clown, Laugh (1928), The Power and the Glory (1933), Viva Villa! (1934), Fire Over England (1937), The Prisoner of Zenda (1937), The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1938), Abe Lincoln in Illinois (1940), Fantasia (1940), Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942), Air Force (1943), Body and Soul (1947), Come Back, Little Sheba (1952), Picnic (1955), The Rose Tattoo (1955), The Last Angry Man (1959), Hud (1963), and Seconds (1966). At the time of his death in 1976, Howe had amassed two Oscars, eleven nominations, and the respect of the motion picture industry for his consistent excellent artistry behind the camera. CinemaLit will be screening four of his important films, two in black and white, and two in color spanning more than forty years: The Thin Man (1934), Sweet Smell of Success (1957), The Heart is a Lonely Hunter (1968), and Funny Lady (1975).

The night used to be a place we numbed out. We’re flipping the script. Dusk is where we feel it all — the ache, the awe, the electricity inside us. We move slow into yoga that cracks the shell. Then we break open the night with a dance that doesn’t need permission. Come solo. Come raw. Come ready. This is how we take the night back. Bring your spark. Bring your story. Meet us under the stars. Because belonging isn’t built on noise — it’s built on feeling everything. Information Source: DAYBREAKER | eventbrite
