Join Elizabeth Jensen as she teaches the fundamentals of Yoga Nidra and guides us through the practices and a meditation. What is Yoga Nidra? Yoga Nidra is a form of guided meditation. This particular style of meditation allows you to process emotions in a healthy way, to experience your life to the fullest, and to rewire your brain and life to be present and find peace in the here and now. During this evening, we will learn about the benefits of Yoga Nidra, including the ten stages and how to use them in practice and everyday living, and conclude in a short guided Yoga Nidra meditation. Please bring pen and paper if you wish to take notes or explore the concepts that will be given. Chairs will be provided but feel free to bring a cushion if you’d prefer for the meditation portion of the evening.

This June, the Golden Braid Books Community Book Club is reading When the Emperor Was Divine by Julie Otsuka. We have lots of copies in stock, so come on by and get yours today! Keep in touch with us throughout the month on our Instagram and Facebook pages, and then we’ll convene here at the Braid for our book club meeting to talk about the book, meet some new folks, and share some insights and mutual love of reading. About the Book:  From the bestselling, award-winning author of The Buddha in the Attic and The Swimmers, this commanding debut novel paints a portrait of the Japanese American incarceration camps that is both a haunting evocation of a family in wartime and a resonant lesson for our times. On a sunny day in Berkeley, California, in 1942, a woman sees a sign in a post office window, returns to her home, and matter-of-factly begins to pack her family's possessions. Like thousands of other Japanese Americans they have been reclassified, virtually overnight, as enemy aliens and are about to be uprooted from their home and sent to a dusty incarceration camp in the Utah desert. In this lean and devastatingly evocative first novel, Julie Otsuka tells their story from five flawlessly realized points of view and conveys the exact emotional texture of their experience: the thin-walled barracks and barbed-wire fences, the omnipresent fear and loneliness, the unheralded feats of heroism. When the Emperor Was Divine is a work of enormous power that makes a shameful episode of our history as immediate as today's headlines. https://www.goldenbraidslc.com/events/june-book-club-when-the-emperor-was-divine

For many people, drawing can be a point of frustration. Oftentimes we might feel stuck when our creations do not match our desired reality. This class is focused on simple techniques to suspend judgement of your own creations in order to create joyfully. Drawing is a healthy exercise which is helpful for organizing ideas, expressing emotions and feelings, and is useful as a way to explore our potential. This is a free community event open to all.
