CONTEMPLATIVE JUGGLING FOR FUN AND RELAXATION
Instructor: David Low
Day of Week: Thursdays
Dates: July 11, 18 & 25 (3 sessions)
Time: 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Location: In-person at Ambler
In this three-session course you will start learning basic 3-ball juggling in a way that is both relaxed and disciplined. Whatever your level of ability turns out to be, the emphasis will be on achieving a meditative state of mind/body movement, so that mistakes and frustration are minimized! Gentle object balancing will be our “break” activity! Non-bouncing juggling balls are available online or can be made from bean bags. Experienced jugglers will be asked to conform to the format and apply the methods when it comes time to practice.
Maximum: 15
Instructor Bio: Rev. David Low, MS, PhD, PTh is an author, former Adjunct Professor of Religion, drug counselor, and—out of college—an entertainer (juggler), who today is an interfaith minister, and has a spiritual counseling practice. He has travelled extensively to visit Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, Sufi, Jewish, Christian, and Muslim locales. He has practiced various forms of meditation for 40 years and has presented at IASD conferences (involving dream interpretation). Soon after getting initiation from his major teacher, he began having dreams involving deities and other spiritual guides, which directed many decisions in his life. An epiphany in 2014 led him to write his first book, Universal Spiritual Philosophy and Practice: An Informal Textbook for Discerning Seekers. See more at davidlowmsphd.com.
Notes
Why, when I’m registering do I join the Wait List?
Several of our courses are in high demand. In order to accommodate our members who are not tech-savvy and have trouble registering online, we created a registration system in which there is no advantage to registering early, no disadvantage to registering later.
When registering, you join the Wait List for each course. Don’t be alarmed. This does not mean the course is full. After the registration period is over, we run a lottery on the courses, and it randomly determines who is admitted to each course and who is not. You typically will receive notification regarding which courses you are admitted to, about two weeks before the start of the semester. If a course accepts 150 or more students, you are very likely to get into it.
