Looks like the Sisters
\nof Divine Providence<\/a> are another group of nunconformists which uses as a
\nsite motto a quote from the Dalai Lama, supports New Ways Ministries, and has
\nEarth Day Masses. Their diversity includes everything but support for pro-life
\ncauses. Maybe they should have their name changed to Sisters of the vine
\nprove-their-dense. They offer the following classes:<\/p>\n

Hatha Yoga<\/font>
Learn basic
\nHatha Yoga postures and breathing techniques to increase strength, energy, and
\nflexibility. Each class will end with relaxation time. Wear loose, comfortable
\nclothing and bring a towel or mat.<\/p>\n

I just can’t bear
\nYoga. “I don’t think the Bishop’s gonna like this, Yogi. Hey Mr. Bishop Sir I
\njust wanna pic-ka-nit basket.”<\/p>\n

Personal Growth
\nGroup<\/font>
This experiential growth group provides the
\nparticipant an opportunity to gain insight for change, healing, and
\nenlightenment. The Human Energy System (Chakras) will be the basis for the group
\nwork. Come to know the sacred places within yourself and experience taking this
\nknowledge into the world.<\/font> <\/p>\n

How convenient go to pilgrimages of
\nsacred places without ever leaving your body. I wonder if Chakras is the younger
\nsister of Chaka Khan?<\/p>\n

T\ufffdai Chi Chih<\/font>
T\ufffdAI Chi Chih, known as Joy through Movement, is a moving
\nmeditation. It is a series of 19 movements and one pose which are joyous and
\neasy to learn. These movements are slow, gentle, and can be done by anyone,
\nregardless of age or physical condition. T\ufffdAI Chi chih promotes a holistic,
\nhealthy style of life by circulating and balancing the energy (Chi) in and
\naround us<\/font>. <\/p>\n

It must be good, the spiritual powerhouse PBS did a
\nthirteen part series on it. This was invented by the oriental master Justin
\nStone formerly of the New York Stock Exchange. Some of these movements are
\ncalled: Pulling Taffy, <\/font><\/font>Anchor Taffy, Wrist Circles Taffy, and
\nPerpetual Motion Taffy; I’ll stick with Eating Taffy. Another movement is called
\n“Light at the Top of the Head, Light at the Temples” which proves their
\ndisciples are light-headed.<\/p>\n

Sound Healing through Toning<\/font>
Science and ancient spiritual traditions both suggest that the
\nbasis of matter is vibration and both view creation at a quantum level, as a
\nquiver with energetic impulses that coalesce in infinite varieties of valences.
\nThe body, too, is part of this vibrating universe and resonates with the body\ufffds
\nenergy centers \ufffd one basis of health. This can be optimized through intentional
\nvibratory activity. In this workshop we\ufffdll explore Toning as a powerful and
\nelegant way to cultivate the body\ufffds vital energy or (Qi) and enjoy in the
\nprocess, a greater sense of balance, wholeness, and well being.<\/font><\/p>\n

All together now, with the Beach Boys let’s sing “‘I’m pickin’ up good
\nvibrations (Oom bop bop good vibrations)”<\/p>\n

Take Back
\nYour Kids: A Parenting Group<\/font>
Instructor: Sister
\nElena Almendarez, CDP, a religious sister for 19 years, holds a masters degree
\nin spirituality from Duquesne University. She is currently a spiritual director
\nand membership recruiter for the Sisters of Divine Providence. <\/font><\/p>\n

Are your kids wandering away from new age religions? Do your kids think the
\nonly forms of energy are nuclear or coal-fired? Have they fallen into the trap
\nof orthodoxy and entered the Catholic Church? Do they believe in the concept of
\ntruth or moral absolutes? Do they mock crystals and Shirley Maclaine? If so then
\nthis is the course for them.<\/p>\n

Reiki: What is
\nIt?<\/font>
What do you know about Reiki? What concerns
\nand questions do you have and hear in regards to Reiki? Come for an
\ninformational evening to learn about this ancient healing practice and to have
\nquestions addressed. <\/p>\n

First the Beach Boys and now
\nSteely Dan.<\/p>\n

Reiki don’t lose that number
You don’t wanna call
\nnobody else
Send it off in a letter to yourself
Reiki don’t lose that
\nnumber
It’s the only one you own
You might use it if you feel
\nbetter
When you get home<\/i> <\/p>\n
