ALYSSA SCHEUNEMANN - 1st two weeks
Alyssa's first memory of thinking about identity traces back to kindergarten. Sitting on the rug at school a friend asked her, "What do you consider yourself?", meaning, "Do you consider yourself Black, or do you consider yourself White?". Ever since, Alyssa has been preoccuppied with questions of identity. At New York University, Alyssa continued to explore issues of identity and the personal as the political through extensive writing and study, but found herself dissatisfied with the purely intellectual nature of scholastic endeavor. more

Much love and respect to Sharon Gannon and David Life- ji for their inspired vision, commitment, and curriculum. When i discovered Jivamukti, the doors of perception were blown wide open, and its my singular mission to try to practice and pass on what Ive been taught. more

WITH KESHAVACHARYA DAS, EMERGING KIRTAN STAR
KIRTAN! & LIVE MUSIC YOGA CLASS
From New York City!
FRI JUNE 20, 2008 Live Music Class 5:30-7pm- $16 and Kirtan 7:30pm- $10
For info and music click here www.kesavacarya.com
For Keshavacharya Das, kirtan is not merely a musical style – it is a way of life. Born on a farm in the beautiful mountains of Switzerland ,he enjoyed a simple, natural childhood. His first formal contact with music came while playing saxophone in a brass band at the age of 14. Later he became influenced by the experimental music of the 1970s. “Music became my life at that time,” he remembers, “but more in terms of hearing, rather than playing instruments or singing. It was not clear to me then, that performing would one day become my path and service to the Divine.” more bio

The haunting melodies and deep, soulful emotions in Keshavacharya das' kirtan bring me immediately to the ancient temple inside of my heart where the moods of longing and ecstasy dance together eternally at the feet of the Lord. I love his singing.
-Jai Uttal

STUDENT REMARKS:
"Retreat in Mexico with Andrea and Jeffrey was a lovely balance between practicing rigorous asana, learning ancient teachings, chanting, and experiencing sweet social interactions. I returned home with a profound shift in my perspective of my life and a new sense of calm and peace from within. I highly recommend a week away with these knowledgeable, dedicated and enthusiastic teachers." Lisa Langer, yoga teacher, NYC.

"Andrea and Jeffrey created an environment full of love and inspiration making everyone feel
safe to fully open themselves to the experience. Amazing yoga and great adjustments! Beautiful (and sometimes challanging) satsangs.
Peaceful meditations and so many other special little surprises.This is an amazing way to not only to reconnect to yourself but to others as well.
I left knowing that they had embraced us all with their positive energy. The location and accommodations were so beautiful and serene, delicious food , and a great mix of lovely interesting people. I left feeling centered, inspired, and with a renewed since of well being. It is a great way to remember that when living simply and slowing down is when we feel our connection to everything." Paige, Smitherman, yoga teacher, NYC

"As you know, it's hard to capture the true breadth and spirit of the
Tulum retreat in words. Here's my shot at succinct and specific...
A feast for body and soul...the location idyllic, the fellowship
intimate and the superbly prepared vegan menu surprisingly fabulous,
even for a carnivore. God is the greatest teacher, and He/She radiates
through Jeffrey and Andrea. The opportunity to be part of their
inaugural Tulum retreat was a true blessing. "- attorney, Charleston, SC
