ABOUT |
WHAT OUR MEMBERS HAVE TO SAY "The effects of our meditation and yoga practices have been truly transformative for me... I feel that our practices have made me more centered, given me more mental clarity, and helped me be more compassionate, understanding, and even grateful towards others. It has also been wonderful being part of a community of people with similar values, beliefs, and spiritual focus. I've made so many wonderful friends here, and the level of caring and maturity is so much higher than I've encountered elsewhere. People here care about and take care of each other. And it's great being part of a group effort on a daily basis." "When I walk through the door it is like re-entering the womb. A safe haven where the ordinary stresses of the world melt away. My true self and voice are then free to emerge and real growth occurs. This work has had profound and lasting effects on every aspect of my life." "Wonderful people, enjoyable and restorative setting (always look forward to walking through the grounds), good programs. [The people there] seem to care about me as an individual, and have a larger vision for peace in the world..." "...Meditation practice allows me to be in love with life. The clearing away of trivial concerns, the focus, peace, silence, and movement of meditation help me to see life without fear. It's truly like being in love; the colors are brighter, the landscape speaks to me, people are gentle and full of potential, my heart sings. If you have the choice to be in love with life, how can you choose not to?" "While I cannot put into words what The Movement Center has done for me, the unexplainable wonderful beauty is so great that there are times when people, who are not part of the Movement Center, are in awe of the beauty and comment how they feel the wonder enter into their lives ... especially after I come home from a retreat." "...Although there have been changes over the years for The Movement Center, the practice and the expression of spiritual growing, and transformation remains the same and a stable constant. The stability and strength of purpose to grow spiritually and to bring betterment to everyone individually, and to the community, remains constant at the center/core with this group of people. This I find to be remarkable, and one of the many reasons I love The Movement Center." "I have benefited greatly from being at the Movement Center. Mostly from doing the meditation two times a week, and also from the energy in the space. I think the group of people devoted to moving through their blocks and limitations and opening up more and more to love has helped me tremendously. How often do we get to sit in the company of that every week in regular life?!" HOME | CONTACT | SITE MAP | LINKS | ARCHIVES | © 2005-2010 THE MOVEMENT CENTER, INC. |
