> Dear Friends, 
>
> You are happily invited to attend the first weekend of Threshold 
> Projects. We, at Threshold Fitness Beyond the Physical, are continuing 
> to expand our practice, and want to involve all of you in some of our 
> investigations and passions.
>
> There are a couple of projects starting.  Every Tuesday night from 
> 6:30-7:30 pm  there is an open meditation  with Jampal Dorje.   Every 
> third weekend of the month Eileen Kelly and Lowell Boyers will be 
> hosting art events and offering workshops to spark interest and 
> discussion around issues in art, health, creativity, meditation and 
> even politics. We think that gathering together can be a springboard  
> for greater contemplation, self-improvement, insight into the nature 
> of being, and who knows what else! We too, are new students to some of 
> the practices we will share. And in all of these practices the 
> territory is always uncharted, always fresh, and exciting, no matter 
> what. 
>
> Our first weekend will focus on contemplative practices. The bountiful 
> marriage between mind and body is something we have been deeply 
> immersed in for many, many years manifested through art, exercise, 
> meditation, and dancing. We want to open this up to you, our 
> community! We are pretty sure it is going to be fun to share these 
> practices with you! You need no previous experience with any of the 
> modalities being offered. There is no goal other than to express, 
> inhale and exhale, and move with an open heart… We think this will be 
> rewarding if we bring the right attitude to the weekend! We hope you 
> can attend! 
>
> PLEASE RSVP for any and all sections of events listed below. 
> Obviously, join us for all and we get to have ever more fun together! 
> Everything is free of charge.

> human mind into an extraordinary wisdom being, that is meditation.” 
> Meditation is not just a a way of making oneself calm, peaceful, cozy, 
> and loving. It is much more. It is a profound way of understanding 
> one’s makeup and infinite existence. We live in a time where science 
> and technology are able to put a man on the moon and has left nothing 
> unexplored except himself. So we welcome you to the Threshold, and we 
> are happy to introduce basic meditation.
