Free Holacracy Webinar

Free Webinar at the Muse

• Introduction to Holocracy
• Presented by Brian Robertson (Founder of HolocracyOne)
• November 19, 2009 12:00-2:00 pm

Dozens of thought-leaders have pointed the way to new capacities that organizations must develop to thrive amidst our 21st century challenges. These visionaries are highlighting the limits of our conventional views of organization and leadership.

Holocracy offers a comprehensive practice for governing and running our organizations - a new organizational operating system - a fundamental upgrade to the core structure and processes we govern, organize, and execute our work. It transformative structure and processes integrate the collective wisdom of people at all levels, while aligning the organization with its broader evolutionary purpose beyond ego and a more organic way of operating. The result is dramatically increased agility, innovation, and accountability.

Holocracy can effectively link and leverage the passion and drive of autonomous individuals, businesses, projects, social networks, foundations, and organizations which have compatible purposes and goals.

Please join other local evolutionary-minded people at a free webinar about Holocracy!
This free webinar introduces the core principles, structure, and practice used in Holocracy through real-world stories, lectures, and interactive Q & A. Attendees will leave with a concrete new vision for human organization, and a call to action to realize it.

* The webinar will start at 12 pm sharp, so plan to arrive a few minutes early. *

Free Svaroopa Class

Name of event – Svaroopa® Yoga for Healing, Transformation, and Illumination

Time – Saturday, 22 August 2009 -- 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Cost -- FREE

Level – From brand new beginners to long-time, advanced yoga students and teachers

Location (Muse Studios) – 1317 Jefferson Street, Boise, ID

Brief description of the class -
To introduce a profoundly transformative style of yoga to Boise yogis, this 90-minute class will be highly approachable for even the most skeptical new student, and revolutionary for the seasoned yogi. Radically different from any other style of yoga or exercise program, Svaroopa® Yoga uses precision alignments, personalized support, and hands-on adjustments to reach past the deceptive flexibility of the hip joints and release the tensions in the deepest muscles along the spine. The results are immediate and include sustained pain relief; deep, whole body flexibility; strength and stamina… and so much more. The class will include pranayama (breathing practice) and deep relaxation as well as forward bends, backbends and standing poses accessible to all participants.

Bio of Instructor -
Marlene Gast began practicing yoga in 1978 and teaching in 1987, in the Boston area. Her passion for helping yoga students from all walks of life transform and grow through the practice of Yoga shines through in her warm and meticulous teaching style. Marlene is certified at the professional yoga teacher level in Kripalu Yoga (500 hours) as well as Svaroopa® Yoga (620 hours) and in Embdoyment® Yoga Therapy, which is offered in private sessions.
