Program Overview: For youth ages 12-18 After a successful 4 week program initative, Ogden Youth Muay Thai will be opening up for drop in classes from participants age 12-18. Parent permission and signed waivers are required and particpants must sign a safety contract. What should you know, as parents/guardians? Parents and guardians should understand there is always the potential risk of injury when training in Muay Thai or any combat sport. Chris and Elaine will take all precautions to ensure that techniques are taught appropriately and safely in a manner that allows participants to learn basic offensive and defensive skills. There will be no sparring (practice fighting) during these 4 weekly sessions. The youth participants will practice “shadow boxing” (moving in isolation without a target/opponent) and using pads (hitting or kicking cushioned targets with a partner but no opponent). Sessions will also include weekly lessons that engage participants in self reflection while challenging their understandings of strength, competence, confidence and connection to others. Parents/guardians must sign a permission form and a waiver in order to have their dependent join and engage in this 4 week initiative. What will participants need? All participants must bring their own water bottle, wear athletic clothing and be prepared to move and sweat. Generally, Muay Thai is practiced with bare feet, but due to the facility, we will require socks and running shoes as there is no padded flooring. We will provide hand wraps, gloves and a variety of pads (Thai pads, belly pads and focus mitts) for training. If participants wish to purchase their own boxing gloves, they should be 8 - 12 oz. fully padded gloves. No Mixed Martial Arts gloves and/or gloves with open fingers and/or thumbs will be permitted. What is the commitment of the participants? Since skill development in Muay Thai is progressive, participants should commit to attending all 4 sessions. In order to progress from week to week and to ensure safety, participants must attend the previous session(s). For example, if a participant misses session 2, they will not be permitted to attend session 3 and 4. All participants must sign the Contract of Safety and Responsibility as a commitment to upholding the core values of Muay Thai and safe practices. Chris and Elaine reserve the right to expel participants who they deem are in violation of this contract. Information Source: Connie Jakab | eventbrite

Shelter from the Storm Day Course and Refuge Vow Ceremony (followed by retreat) In this very special course, we will explore what it means to be a Buddhist. Kelsang Khacho will explain about Buddha, Dharma and Sangha, the Three Jewels of refuge, why we turn to them and how they help us on our spiritual path, as well as in our everyday life. At the conclusion of the day, there will be a rare opportunity to receive Refuge Vows, for those who wish. It often seems to us that our happiness is created by external conditions — the people and things in our life — and that all our problems are also created by others. However, Buddha explained that since happiness is a state of mind, its main cause must also be a state of mind. Other things such as our friends, our wealth, our job, or our holidays can act only as contributory causes of happiness. We know this by observation. Since happiness is a state of mind, we can see how misleading it is to place all our expectations of bliss and contentment on transient possessions and enjoyments. Buddha taught how to examine our mind and see which states produce misery and confusion and which states produce health and happiness. He taught how to overcome the compulsively non-virtuous minds that confine us to states of discontent and unhappiness, and how to cultivate the virtuous minds that liberate us from pain and lead us to the bliss of full enlightenment. All of this is Dharma — Buddha’s teachings — an extraordinary spiritual path that is relevant and practical and perfectly suited to modern day, 21st-century people. Sangha are the spiritual friends who guide and inspire us on this spiritual journey. Becoming a Buddhist is a gradual process of appreciating more and more deeply the wisdom of Buddha, the transformative power of his teachings, and the real friendship of the Sangha. Taking Refuge Vows means that we promise to apply effort to receiving Buddha’s blessings, to putting Dharma into practice, and to receiving help from Sangha throughout our life. This rare and precious opportunity is open to everyone. On Saturday afternoon there will be an opportunity to make a firm commitment to following the Buddhist path by taking refuge vows. The essence of the vows is to put effort into receiving Buddha’s blessings, receiving help from Sangha and putting Dharma (Buddha’s teachings) into practice. Important note for Supporting Members : The first two sessions of this event–the teaching and meditation sessions (before lunch) will be available on line. We will not be live streaming the refuge vows. ⋅ There will be a beautiful ceremony enabling us to enter into Buddhism by taking the Refuge vows. This session is optional. ⋅ If you wish to learn only about the practice of Buddhist refuge, the morning sessions are perfect. ⋅ On Sunday, there will be a guided retreat led by Kelsang Khacho, to help us develop the mind of refuge and put it into practice by meditating on compassion and wisdom. ⋅ This will lead into a partially guided retreat from Monday – Thursday.

“Zachary Stevenson nails the rock 'n' roll legend in a full-throttle tribute that fires on all cylinders” -The Vancouver Sun The Buddy Holly Tribute is a dynamite two-act show featuring such hits as “That’ll Be the Day”, “Peggy Sue”, “Oh Boy and “Rave On”. Stevenson presents Buddy Holly so perfectly that we seem to be watching a genuine replica of the nerdy, and hip young Texan. He has the guitar licks down to a “t” and his superb vocals make him equally comfortable with the sweet ballads or on-the-edge rock-a-billy songs… including Holly’s trademark hiccup and energetic dance moves that often brings the audience to their feet. “Zachary Stevenson… is the epitome of effortless cool with a gorgeous voice and a star-quality stage presence.” - Vancouver Presents. Having led a dozen sell-out productions of the Buddy Holly Story across Canada and the US with well over a thousand performances under his belt, Stevenson is a true showman who exudes charm and knows how to connect with an audience. In 2018, he was awarded a Jeff Award in Chicago for most outstanding lead performance in a musical. “If you don’t like him, you don’t like much of anybody.” -Chicago Tribune Above Beyond the music, Zachary weaves in engaging stories about Buddy and his personal experience in the role including his travels to Iowa, New Mexico and Texas seeking a greater understanding of the man and his music. He gives context to the songs and pays tribute to Buddy’s friends- The Big Bopper, Ritchie Valens, Dion and Eddie Cochrane and delivers a dynamic show uniquely his own. Zach will have the audience singing along to “Teenager in Love”, sighing over “True Love Ways” and dancing to the “Hand Jive” in a captivating performance that transcends the generation gap and proves Buddy’s music is timeless and will “Not Fade Away”. “Stevenson… is proof that Buddy Holly lives.” -WTTW Chicago 10% discount on tickets purchased before September 1, 2024 Information Source: YMCA Calgary | eventbrite

Retreat Information Buddha taught how all of our problems and unhappiness are rooted in negative states of mind such as anger, attachment, and confusion. Unless we learn practical methods to let go of these negative minds it will be impossible for us to experience real freedom and happiness, and we will find that we are unable to maintain a happy mind when things are not going well for us in life. On this partially guided retreat, we will engage in meditations to help us develop deep faith in the Three Jewels – Buddha, Dharma (Buddhist teachings), and Sangha (the spiritual community). By going for refuge to the Three Jewels we can overcome our negative states of find, find mental stability, and permanent freedom from our problems. Seeking refuge in the Three Jewels is the essence of the Buddhist way of life. It’s highly recommended that you attend the day course on Saturday and the guided retreat on Sunday to understand clearly what to do on this mostly unguided retreat.
