Kim Reid Meditation Studies in India

I am excited to announce that I have a wonderful opportunity to continue my meditation, medicine and yoga studies in India! It can be challenging to step away from the routine and work here at home, yet I have found that stepping away for a brief time to be quite essential.  The work done during and after each meditation retreats has given me new gifts.  My work benefits tremendously from taking the time to reflect inward in the retreat setting, creating space to rejuvenate and allow insights and wisdom to be remembered again.

 

I will depart mid-February for approximately one month and a half to head to Northern India.  I will take part in meditation retreats at Tushita Meditation Centre, as well as a workshop in Tibetan Medicine in Dharamsala. 

 

For me and my constitution, no retreat is complete without moving meditation, so I will be deepening my yoga practice and spend five days trekking in the hills.  

 

It is always a pleasure to come home after a long, intense trip and I will be blessed to see you again at Stillpoint at the end of March. I look forward to reconnecting with you upon my return to share both the insights that arise through the meditative work I will be doing, as well as the stories of my adventures in the Himalayas!

 

And come on in for an appointment this week if you would like to see me before I depart.

Kim Reid, L. Ac.

Farmer's Market At Your Doorstep?

If you love going to the farmer's markets, but find that you are too busy to get there, check out Farm Fresh to You. I recently signed up and started getting locally grown organic produce delivered to my door. The produce is super high quality,  delicious, reasonably priced, and a great way to support a more sustainable food supply chain.  With FFTY you can create an exclusions lists so that you only get the produce you love and know you will use.  This week the satsumas were the best I have had since I was a kid.

FFTY is currently running a promotion and I encourage you to give them a try. Get $10 off of your first order by mentioning the Promo Code 6164.  And if you mention my name or customer ID (Joe Curcio, 315561) they will give me $25 off of my next order!  But, I swear to you, I would recommend them even if they weren't giving me a kickback ;)  Check it out.  I expect you will be glad you did: farmfreshtoyou.com

I reinstated my membership 3 months ago, and I am glad that I did. The teachers are great!  Begin that I am very Iyengar oriented, the two instructors I recommend are Koren Paalman and Jennifer Edwards. 

The YogaWorks people were nice enough to allow me to share a gift certificate good for one week of free yoga! I highly recommend taking advantage of this great opportunity to study Iyengar yoga with very skilled, kind and devoted teachers.
