March 23: Conscious Breathwork workshop to be held

Gardner Orton and Jennifer Rose Esposito present a Conscious Breathwork Experience workshop from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, March 23, at New Spring Farm, Batchelder Barn Road in Peru.

They will use Conscious Connected Breathing and Breath Awareness practices to restore natural and healthy open breath, reclaiming the ability to take in more breath.

Shallow, restricted breathing is linked to low energy and fatigue, weakened immune systems, cardiovascular disease and respiratory problems.

According to Orton, “… breathwork corrects dysfunctional breathing patterns, while quieting our busy minds and restoring balance to our nervous systems. As we increase our ability to take in more breath, we open to more joy and abundance in our lives, reclaiming our vital life force energy and aliveness.”

The cost is $35 and preregistration is required. For more information, or to register, email Gardner at Gardner@SacredMountainWellness.com or call 802-863-9355.

March 24:  ‘Dark night of the soul’ topic of sermon

The Rev. Kevin Carson

The First Universalist Parish of Chester welcomes the Rev. Kevin Carson and his sermon on “A UU Encounter with La Noche Oscura” from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. on Sunday March 24 at 211 North St., Vermont Route 103 in the historic Stone Village in Chester.

The 16th-century Spanish mystic John of the Cross, and his mentor Teresa of Ávila, spoke of encountering la noche oscura in their spiritual journeys, which is usually translated as “the dark night (of the soul).” What did they mean by this phrase, and how might it speak to us today?
