This class, instructed by Pete Starr, will cover the following:

Poets will read, then judges will flash Olympic-style scoring to determine who goes on to the next round until there's just one poet left standing as the champion. It's a lot of fun!

Oct. 9 - Balancing the Chakras: Movement & Meditationwith Chanell Jaramillo
9-10am • $70/7 weeks (Oct. 9-Nov. 20)
Please RSVP!
Round and round, in and out, congestion and deficiency - these are the aspects of the chakras that need to be balanced. As you learn to examine the energy body through the chakra system, you will become more aware of your energetic needs and thus aim to restore the energy centers to homeostasis. Through specific movements, visualizations, and meditations, you can learn to cultivate and hone your awareness and balance your energetic field naturally.
This class will meet for one hour each week and focus on one chakra at a time, beginning with the root and ending with the crown. Please wear comfortable clothing that allows for yoga movements. The class will offer introductory information, beginner to intermediate yoga style movements, and end with visualization & meditation on the chakra of the week.
Pillows and mats are available at the center, but feel free to bring your own. Please call in your RSVP to OM at 402-345-5078; drop-ins are also welcome.

Oct. 16 - Beyond the Mayan Calendar - What Now?
with Sue Moon & Doug D'Arcy
2-5pm • $20
Join Doug D’Arcy and Sue Moon for their final workshop on how to navigate the years beyond the Mayan Calendar!
This is uncharted water and many structures that have become familiar to us will fade away. One of those structures is our financial security. We are already seeing this. Another will be the re-thinking of how we live. Smaller communities, growing our own food, and sharing what we have with each other are a probable outcome. We are waking up individually and collectively in a way that has not been seen or known on this planet before. We are faced with the responsibility to expand into a much greater awareness, where we realize our unity with each other and all that is.
Oct. 20 - "Clearing the Mental & Emotional Pollution of Our World"
with Richard Potter
7-9pm • $FREE
When human hearts awaken, and even while in the process of awakening, they are capable of transforming our world. Simply awakening oneself is helpful to the planet, but does not necessarily make a large difference. Learning to use the "awakened heart" for the benefit of the world is crucial to the future of humanity.
One need only observe the level of public discourse to witness both the cause and the product of runaway anger and fear that dominate the global mind. These clouds of sadness, hopelessness, anger, and rage that dominate the world mind are a product of human thought and feeling. Mystics and seers often refer to this level of reality as the “mind world” and it is a very real thing.
There are spiritual practices that can change this "mind world" from a dark cloud hanging over humanity to a bright hope for the future of humanity and the planet. Richard Potter has had the rare opportunity to study these deep and hidden practices specifically designed for the purpose of alleviating this malaise and feels they need to be shared at this crucial junction in the history of the planet and humanity.
If you feel the calling to be part of a spiritual solution to our current crisis and creating a bright future for planet Earth, please attend this free public seminar and learn these methods for doing this great work.
Oct. 22 - Power Yoga Class with Rudy Mettia
Hosted by Omaha Power Yoga!
1-4pm • $50 suggested donation
Rudy Mettia, E-RYT 500, often describes himself as “obsessed” with yoga and it is clearly evident in his teaching. Armed with a huge heart, awicked sense of humor, and fierce belief in the practice, Rudy’s enthusiasm for yoga shines through in every class. He inspires students to become Yoga Warriors by challenging their perceived boundaries while respecting their limitations. His teaching style helps beginners understand the asana and can revive even the longest yogi’s practice, breathing in new life with a deeper physical and philosophical understanding.
Rudy has creatively carved out his own style within the yoga community, becoming one of the most prolific and sought-after teachers on the West Coast - recently voted the #1 Power Yoga class in Los Angeles. Now a senior teacher at Santa Monica Power Yoga, he has accumulated more than 10,000 classroom hours teaching thousands of students worldwide. Rudy currently serves as an adjunct faculty member at the Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health, the largest residential facility for holistic health and education in North America.
Having survived being orphaned at the age of nine, Rudy has had a host of unusual “careers,” from US Marine, policeman, and personal trainer to bouncer in Hollywood dive clubs, actor, and bartender. Through each of these “past lives” he has compiled wisdom and lessons learned along the way, courageously facing down challenges and persevering to become a gifted teacher.
