here the 5 vows I want to share with you:

I vow to myself and to each of you:

To commit myself daily to the healing of our world and the welfare of all beings.

To live on earth more lightly and less violently in the food, products, and energy I consume.

To draw strength and guidance from the living earth, the ancestors, the future beings, and my brothers and sisters of all species.

To support others in their work for the world and to ask for help when I feel the need.

To pursue a daily spiritual practice that clarifies my mind, strengthens my heart, and supports me in observing these vows.

NO CLASSES the next two Sundays 9th and 16th + info donation for the next Community Sunday 23rd of April

Hi dear friends,
I hope you all are safe after what happened yesterday in Stockholm.
I can´t stop thinking that we have to gather more, we have to wake up the collective consciousness, we have to be there for each other, we have to listen deeply and be listened deeply and we have to talk more about stuffs, to make changes happens. more then ever I feel is of great importance that we meet for practicing and for sharing. the ripple effect with eventually reach more people around us, until we can heal from inside toward outside, all the way.
This is the time to gather and stay with what need to be seen and stop destroying ourselves and others. Is not helpful to avoiding, avoiding, until the drama occurs. We know that.
We have to be together.

To use my teacher´s words: 

"All of this stuffs-meditation, therapy, pharmaceuticals- is bullshit without friendship. 

You can´t heal all by yourself. 

In no culture nobody all by him or herself ; you can´t do it alone. " Michael Stone

the theme of the sharing will be : Healing.
and we will donate to Kultursjukhuset and their beautiful work in hospitals with children, here more info: http://www.kultursjukhuset.se/clownverksamhet-6318469

the next two Sundays 9th and 16th of April there will be no class,
due to my Doula training and påsklovet.
so thank you very much for keep it up with practicing on your own in the mean while.

spread the word among your family and friends so we can be even more practicing together.

in gratitude,
Ortensyoga

Donation for the upcoming Community Sunday

Hi community,
I wanted to share with you all, that we will donate the money you will give next sunday to :

No one is illegal - for a world without borders

Manifesto

"The earth belongs to all of us. We each have the right to free movement
accross its lands and to settle wherever we please. According to the principle "From each according to his ability, to each according to her need", we are entitled to equal access to the worlds land and resources once we do so with with care and respect in mind.

The No one is illegal network does not accept the legitimacy of national borders and merely acknowledges them as political constructions to which neither moral justification or an interest in their upholding exists. A person born in one place has no more claim on it than anyone else. It is not sufficient however that these ideas remain as visions. An attempt must be made at their realisation.

We do not recognise any countries, organizations or individuals entitlement to in any way restrict free movement of people across borders or to label them "illegal" migration. The right to freedom of movement is to us inseparable from the right to participate in society under equal conditions. ..."

to read more about their work please visit http://www.ingenillegal.org/om-oss/vad-gor-vi

The theme of the sharing time will be about Relationship, and I will read few words and inspired the talking from the book "Most Intimate" by Pat Enkyo O´Hara.

Thank you for spreading the word and for making this reality happen.

Warmth,

Ortensyoga

New year, new schedule!

Hi dear community,
I am happy to close the year knowing that we will see each others soon again. 
It has been a great pleasure practice with you all. Thank you to keep our practice alive and awake.

I want to share with you the timings for 2017.

15th January CLASSES STARTS !!!

As usual we will meet every sunday at room B, in the Skarpnäcks Kulturhuset at 18 until 19.15.

We will add a Community Sunday every month, that will end at 19.30 instead.
That will be a space to practice yoga, longer meditation and sharing time after every session. 

Community Sundays will be:

29th of January
19th of February
19th of March
23th of April
21th of May

As some of you know the Kulturhuset recognised our work as a community service therefore we don´t pay the rent of the space anymore. 
We are very grateful for that and for you all that made it happen. 
Donations goes to the teacher and there is no minimum, you give what you can and feels right to you. 
The Community Sunday`s donations will go directly to charity for different organizations.
