Om Studios in Monterey is pleased to announce that a new mindfulness meditation class has been added to our schedule on Fridays, 6pm-7pm, beginning January 8, 2016. Fee is $15 donation per class, or whatever you can afford.
Clear mindfulness meditation instruction will be given with a focus on mindfulness of breathing and awareness of cyclic thinking. The classes will increase your capacity for focused calm and clarity. Weekly classes are ongoing and each has an intentional focus. Classes will include a guided meditation and a focus on calm abiding and self-compassion. The second part of the class uses the calm mind as a base for insight and the development of discerning wisdom.
Please feel free to contact instructor, Dr. Sara Spowart, with any questions you may have or simply drop-in for an evening class to get firsthand experience. There is no obligation. People may enter the classes at any time, with any level of experience, or from any meditation background. All teachings are non-sectarian and nonhierarchical in nature. All are welcome.
These classes are part of the Mindfulness Meditation Community (MMC) with locations around the world.
Paper Wing Theatre has been called one of the top 3 best theatre companies on the Monterey Peninsula. Maybe it's because with our background in teaching, we don't require previous experience from our actors. Maybe it's because we produce plays that are more provocative. Maybe because we take chances on new work, giving more opportunities to local playwrights and artists. Maybe it's because we were created by actors, for actors. Or maybe it's just because we feel all artists and performers should have a home. No matter why...we want you to be part of our rogue little company!
Paper Wing Theatre will be having auditions for its 2016 season. Please join us January 9 and 10, 11am-3pm, at our Lighthouse District Theatre on Hoffman. Drop ins are welcome and will be taken on a first come, first served basis. Be prepared to read from a script. If you are auditioning for a musical, please bring sheet music to sing part of one song.
Our process is low-stress, and is perfect for beginners and those stepping back onstage after a hiatus. We want you to succeed and be on our stage! No experience is necessary!

Anyone with information that may lead to the recovery of Brown Dog should email the office of missing stuffed animals at info@downtowncampbell.com. Reward of $1,000,000 or the eternal gratitude of a little girl, whichever is the latter.
