Chakra Dance

[improve]

  • Date: Every Sunday
  • Time: 10:30am until 12:30pm
  • Location: Tiffany Center 1410 SW Morrison St Ste 600, Portland, OR 97205-1930
  • Jump to this event's wiki page, edit it, discuss it or return to the events page.

Purpose

Each Sunday a special guest will guide us through a "Chakra Dance."

Among the best tools to evolve the spirit are the energy centers known as chakras. Chakra, an ancient sanskrit term meaning “wheel of light,” describes a complex human energy system of awareness.

The seven chakra centers are associated with specific areas of the physical body. Each chakra is equally important to our energy flow and vitality, and each affects all the others.

Developing one chakra while neglecting others only creates an imbalance, weakening overall strength. The goal is to have all seven chakras open, balanced and integrated.

Other details
Every Sunday morning at the Tiffany Center

  • 10:30 warmup, circle at 11, ends at 12:30
  • Cost: $10, Kids welcome and free!

FREE CHALUPA COUPON COLLECTION @ Blazer games

  • Time: 9:30pm until 10:30pm
  • Location: Rose Garden One Center Court, Portland, OR 97227
  • Jump to this event's wiki page, edit it, discuss it or return to the events page.

Purpose

In an effort to put food in hungry bellies, we will be gathering at all exits of the Rose Garden after the Blazer/Laker game and asking people to donate their FREE CHALUPA coupons, which we will then donate to homeless outreach programs.

20,000 people per night go to Blazer games if we only collect 10% of the possible stubs we still get 2,000 free chalupas there are 2,000 people sleeping on the streets of Portland every night.

Events like this won't cure hunger, but it will be putting a finger in a leaky dam and raise awareness about the problem in general.

WE WILL BE DOING THIS AT EVERY BLAZER HOME GAME

Hopefully with our new uptempo offense we will hit chalupas every night!
