THE BENEVOLENT BRAIN

How to light up the neural circuits needed to sustain the benevolence we need as
individuals and as a species (a free talk).

5/19&5/20/2012 WORKSHOP

9:30AM–4:30PM SAT & 9:30AM–1PM SUN

“NOT SELF” IN THE BRAIN

We will examine the apparent “self” — and its release — in light of Buddhism,

evolution, and modern brain science; these perspectives inform each other and

together they offer powerfully practical tools for deconstructing the apparent

self ($40 for both days).

RICK HANSON is a neuropsychologist and has written and taught about the essential
inner skills of personal well-being, psychological growth, and contemplative practice – as
well as about relationships, family life, and raising children. With Rick Mendius, M.D., he

SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA (April 13, 2012) - Those living with cancer often need a healing touch more than most people, however have special requirements when it comes to getting a massage. Massage and other touch therapists can learn the basics of oncology massage in an upcoming workshop entitled “Massage for People Living with Cancer.” It will take place at  Sukha Wellness Center, May 30-June 1, 2012 from 9 am-6 pm.The class fee is $432, or $412 if preregistered by April 29 through Sukha Wellness Center; 6615 Bay Laurel Place Avila Beach, CA; PH: (805) 801-8088. Interested participants can also register online at www.sukhawellnesscenter.com. Taught by Oncology Massage Educator Isabel Adkins, the three-day class will cover comfort-orientated massage or touch techniques for people with cancer, regardless of the severity of their condition. The therapists will not only learn techniques required for massaging cancer clients, but will also gain more confidence in working with them, as a result of their new skills. “Recent studies support that massage therapy is effective for relieving cancer related pain and anxiety,” said Brian A. DiCarlo, MD, a physician at Coastal Integrative Cancer Center in San Luis Obispo. “I have certainly noticed the benefits that oncology massage has brought to my own patients in areas also including a decrease in swelling and chemo-induced fatigue and body aches. While massage appears to be generally safe in cancer, I would suggest finding a massage therapist that has had some basic training in cancer massage.” Massage for People Living with Cancer is approved by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB), and 24 continuing educational credits are available. MFPLWC is a prerequisite to Oncology Massage 1. The Society for Oncology Massage recognizes this course and instructor as part of their application for professional membership. Isabel Adkins, BA, CMT, has been a Massage Therapist since 1994 and an Oncology Massage Educator since 2001.

by Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D,  author of Women Who Run With the Wolves

Lee Lawson’s gifts are evident not only in her superb technical skills, nor in the ethereal palette she creates for her work. Even more so, her gifts derive from an ability that is older than time, the ability to envision.

She has clear memory of things that dance, hide, misbehave, dream, sleep, appear, and disappear in the human psyche. In myths and dreams, the unconscious, both collective and personal, is often portrayed as a great body of water. Lee Lawson’s work clearly reflects those oceans that surge and thrive beneath our mundane consciousness. She is as much a shapechanger as she is an artist; a human being one moment a sea creature the next.

Only a person who navigates the interior life on a regular basis can consistently bring such evocative image canvas. Her work, most richly viewed as both inner and outer seeing, testifies to the fact that she is a rare artist especially skilled in bringing to the surface mysterious yet clearly stated first person  accounts of the deep imaginal world.      CPE

Sukha Wellness Center will be hosting an art opening for the public soon. Look for details in an upcoming newsletter.
