Sunday, June 7, 1-3 p.m. at Story Parlor
Free event as part of Story Parlor’s Sunday Sessions!

About the book:
A contemporary retelling of the Persephone myth in chapbook form.
Following a divorce, Sef moves back to Silver Lake, the mountain town where she grew up. Her plan is to live in her mother’s pool house while she gets back on her feet, but her mother has other plans. Silver Lake’s lush surrounding wilderness is besieged by forest fires and the unseasonably warm winter is only adding to the environmental crisis. Someone must bring winter back in order to restore balance and Sef’s eccentric mother thinks Sef should take on that bewildering mission.

Showcasing original music from local and regional songwriters in an intimate listening space. Email support@smalltowncoffeeroasters.com for booking inquiries.

Join us for “EMERGENCE”, a Contact Improvisation retreat on June 5 – 7th, at Dreaming Stone Arts and Ecology Center, in the mountains of NC! During this open-level retreat weekend, we will practice rooting into ground and our own centers to cultivate the capacity to emerge, fly, expand, and connect with others.

Workshops led by Michele T. Hower and emily liptow will be themed around questions of emergence in contact improvisation practice, such as– How do we access presence and ground amidst the complexity of improvisational dance? Can we stay with a sensation or choice just long enough to see/feel what is emerging in our personal and collective dance? What are strategies for radical responsiveness to the ever-evolving nature of CI?

With both structured workshops and open jam time, this potent container will nourish and inspire your movement practice and widen your CI community.

This is an open-level event and would be a great opportunity and location for your first CI immersion experience or to deepen your engagement with the form. If you are brand new to Contact Improvisation, we encourage you to take a few classes first or sign up for our fall Fundamentals Intensive.

Jai Dev Singh
Jai Dev Singh is a renowned international teacher of Kundalini Yoga and Ayurveda, and founder of Life- Force Academy (LFA), a global training academy for the yogic arts and sciences with members in over 60 countries around the world.
Jai Dev was raised by a loving Jewish family in upstate South Carolina. While his family environment was nurturing, there was a lingering sense that he didn’t quite fit in. As a young man, he developed health challenges. While modern medicine offered temporary relief, it couldn’t get to the root of the problem. This led him on a search for true health and a deeper understanding of the human body that has taken him across the world and back.
His intense love of music brought him to Middle Tennessee State University where he studied Production in the Recording Industry. It was in college that he found himself at his very first Kundalini Yoga class. Jai Dev didn’t know much about yoga but was magnetically drawn to it. After one class he was hooked and thus began his life-changing yogic journey.
Inspired by his teacher, Jai Dev soon began to teach himself. He almost immediately attracted an audience of eager students, making it clear early on that he had uncovered a natural gift that he continues to nurture to this day.
Over the years Jai Dev trained extensively in Kundalini Yoga and a variety of other yogic traditions. He moved to Nevada City, CA to study Ayurveda. There, he discovered the true root of his health issues and exactly how imbalances in the mind and body occur. This led him on an incredible path to restoration, healing, and teaching others how to do the same. After graduating, he became the Clinical Director at the College of Ayurveda until his teaching demands led him to create his own training school: The Life-Force Academy.
Jai Dev travels the world with LFA’s mission to help people restore their inner vitality, connect to their genuine sense of purpose, and learn to live a happy life. LFA offers (virtual and in-person) courses and workshops on Kundalini Yoga, Ayurveda, and meditation. The courses are designed to improve your health, mental wellness, inner-confidence, increase prosperity, and so much more. Jai Dev’s down-to-earth sensibility and humor, combined with a creative delivery of yogic teachings have influenced thousands of practitioners and teachers around the globe.
Today, Jai Dev is based in Nevada City, California. When not running his global training academy, he enjoys basketball, spending time with his son, and experiencing as much live music as possible.
