Spreading the Vegetarian word through parties

[Guest guest]

Dear vegetarian/vegan friends

 

More than two years ago we had an idea -

bringing together vegan chefs, DJs,

performers, musicians, artists, and healers.

The result became Body Temple, now in it's third year.

 

Body Temple became amazing vehicle for spreading

the word about vegetarianism, exposing vegan cuisine

as well as non-violent approach to animals

to many people who otherwise won't have chance

to come across these.

 

All done through non-preachy way, in a club environment,

conscious club that is.

 

You can read something we wrote after our September event

regarding freedom at http://www.alokhealth.com/poetry/bt.html

 

Body Temple has been taking place in NY.

Now in its third year we are invited to put together

these events in Ohio, the Hamptons, as well as in Europe.

This is great news and we thank everyone who helped

spreading the word and making this become reality.

 

If you check the Body Temple video, you'll see how wild

vegetarians and vegans can be. Video is on the web site

http://www.bodytemple.info

 

Here's information about the next party.

If you have friends in the New York area, feel free

to let them know about it. Or even come from far away.

We have people coming all the way from Ohio.

 

Much love.

Ready for deeper exploration?

 

Join us earlier at 7 PM for unique celebration

with special three-hour Halloween Journey with

Parashakti, TranceBreath team, and Guest Elders:

 

Dancing to Retrieve Lost Pieces of Our Soul -

Halloween TranceDance for Facing Our Fears and

Dark Side.

 

The Shaman sees the Spirits and knows how to

exorcise them; he recognizes that the soul has

fled, and is able to overtake it, in ecstasy,

and return it to its body. " - Mircea Eliade,

" Shamanism: Archaic Techniques of Ectasy "

 

Every time we experience a Trauma in our life, we lose parts

of our soul. Dancing to Retrieve Lost Pieces of Our Soul,

uncovers the secrets and mysteries of ones true self. The

primary goal is for the dancer to enter the void, the place

of the unknown where the truth can be discovered and the

missing Soul pieces can return.

 

We create a safe sacred space in the dance; temporarily

removing one's ego from its everyday comfort zone so that

it can be introduced to a life more in Harmony with the

desires of the soul, our destiny, the dance of life. But

first the ego's self image must undergo a death, a complete

transformation. This dance of initiation is done in the

seclusion of darkness, the doorway to bridge the Spirit

world and the Physical plain. It is within this opportunity

that the dancer can reflect on the reoccurring patterns,

obstacles and Physical, Spiritual, Emotional and Mental

blockages through Dance. The body dances for its life,

creating a prayer in motion.

 

Advance tickets to " Dancing to Retrieve Lost Pieces

of Our Soul " are available for $35. The $35 ticket includes

free admission to the party (party begins 10:30 PM).

 

Price at the door is $45 (only if tickets still available).

To ensure your participation and enjoy the $35 rate you

can pay with your credit card or direct payment from your bank

account using PayPal at http://www.bodytemple.info/event.html
