Moving Through the Mandala Yoga Retreat with Shiva and Lama Tsultrim Allione September 18 – 23, 2009 **Global Mala Celebration September 19** During this time of urgent awakening, the mandala principle within Vajrayana Buddhism and Tantra Yoga offers a profound view, meditation, and action of embodied transformation of consciousness.
At the heart of the mandala is the union of the primordial masculine and feminine, bliss and emptiness, wisdom and skillful means, known as yab-yum. Whether one is solo or with a partner on retreat, Lama Tsultrim will initiate the exquisite yab-yum mandala through inner consort practice within the matrix of the five Buddha families. Our in-depth daily practices will weave movement meditations of each of the Buddha families that integrate sound, visualization, prana flow, mudra and a flowing sequence of asanas in a mandala form aimed at the elemental transformation of energy patterns.
For more info and registration please contact Tara Mandala.

Help Save the Honey Bees!
The Natural Resources Defense Council has offered this article of tips for keeping your garden bee-friendly!
"Bees across the country are disappearing due to a mysterious condition know as Colony Collapse Disorder, threatening agriculture and many of your favorite foods.
But you can help keep these important pollinators healthy by attracting them to your garden.
Here are some helpful tips for gardeners: Include a wide variety of plantsIdeally, they should bloom from early spring into late fall or, if possible, for the entire year. If you choose plants with a variety of shapes and colors, you will be more likely to attract different types of pollinators. Planting in clusters will make them easier to locate.Plant native speciesLocal plants are four times more likely to attract pollinators than exotic species. See the list of suggested native plants on the right.Avoid using pesticidesThere are many natural ways to control pests in your garden. If you must use pesticides, read the labels carefully in order to avoid spraying chemicals that are highly toxic to bees, such as most neonicotinoid pesticides. Be sure to spray your plants after dusk, when pollinators are least active. You should also be wary of using multiple pesticides at once. Many active ingredients are more toxic when used in combination with other pesticides."
