For nearly two decades, Seattle glass artist Preston Singletary has straddled two unique cultures, melding his Tlingit ancestry with the dynamism of the Studio Glass Movement. In the process, he has created an extraordinarily distinctive and powerful body of work that depicts cultural and historical images in richly detailed, beautifully hued glass. Singletary has translated the visual vocabulary of patterns, narratives, and systems of Native woodcarving and painted art into glass, a material historically associated with Native peoples through an extensive network of trading routes.
Start: 7:00 pm
Ravi Ravindra will present on "The Transformation of Consciousness." Yoga's roots are in the spiritual tradition of India, grounded in the classical texts of the Bhagavad Gita, and Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. Ravi Ravindra will touch on the many meanings of yoga, and the ultimate purpose of yoga in removing ignorance, and moving practitioners toward liberation and enlightenment. Through the cultivation of steady, impartial attention and the quest for self-knowledge transformation is possible.
Ravi Ravindra was born in India and partly educated there before moving to Canada. He is Professor Emeritus at Dalhousie University in Canada from where he retired as Professor of Physics as well as Comparative Religion. In addition to a deep study of great religious traditions of the East and the West, he has had a long-standing practice of spiritual search. He is the author of many books, the latest two being, The Spiritual Roots of Yoga and The Wisdom of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras.
