of the Center is to maintain a loving fellowship and to provide a
nurturing environment that is conducive to learning and experiencing
the oneness of Non-Dualism.

Non-Dualism is the orientation that there is one absolute reality
without a second, and that each of us, although an individual person,
is one with that reality, just as a wave is not separate from the
ocean. The emphasis of our Center is on the practices such as
contemplation and meditation which lead to the direct experience of
this Non-Dual reality.

Rukmimi Eggelte "Once upon..."

After high school Rukmini finished art academy, intuitively working with Yogic
concepts, the conceptx to create art for the body where " I am on the outside, i
am on the inside, look futher and you'll see me" and "scream you are
vulnerable". Even through art she was always trying to bring the inside out,the
Pure self was the main theme of that period.She then worked as an artist
creating clothes and meditation and asana-blankets, which led her to learn and
teach Hatha Yoga. She taught for 2.5 years at an institute, where she met a
Dutch teacher Ajata, who taught her Raja Yoga. She started her own space,
sharing the knowledge of Raya Yoga. On a retreat in India she met Swamiji(Swami
Jnaneshvara Bharati) and everything changed (like she was hoping to all her
life)...every step in the direction of knowing the Pure Self...

OUR CONFERENCE ROOM: All sessions will be in the Forum Room of the Ramada, which
is on the top floor of the multistory building facing the Gulf of Mexico. This
is a very large room that will give us ample space to stretch out for hatha yoga
sessions and meditations. The view over the ocean is incredible.

TOPICS:

To be posted soon.

MEALS: We will have reception style snacks and beverages available during the
conference. There will be approximately 2 hours open time at noon and late
afternoon so that you may either go home for your meals or go in small groups to
any of the local restaurants you wish.

FEES: The conference is being offered in the traditional way of imparting these
kinds of teachings. That is, there is no fee. However, we live in a very real
world, even though it might ultimately be unreal in the Non-Dualistic sense.
Therefore, we ask that you donate whatever you feel is an appropriate amount for
a conference of this type (please note that our speakers and other volunteers
are not paid, so your money goes to support the Center, not the personal pockets
of any people). Your donations will most definitely determine the future of the
conferences and the Center for Non-Dualism.

REGISTRATION: Please let us know as soon as you can of your intention to
participate. Your registration will help us with planning. Please do write
sooner rather than later. Please write conference2010@....

CLEANUP and OTHER VOLUNTEERING: Please contact Ray Jones to volunteer to help
during the conference. Write him at ray@....

We look forward to a large turnout to support our collective views on
Non-Dualism and to increase awareness in our greater Emerald Coast community.
This will be a very enjoyable weekend of friendship, fun, learning and practice.

In loving service,

Felicia McQuaid,
Swami J. Bharati
Tulsi Foster

the intensives:"We were supposed to close our eyes and meditate. When I closed
my eyes I was having trouble because it was too bright, I thought they had
forgotten to dim the lights so I opened my eyes so I could see if someone was
going to take care of it and when I did I saw that the room was pitch black" She
ran into Swami Jnaneshvara Bharati in the 90's and has been studying and hanging
out with him every since. In 1997 she went to Honesdale she was initiated and
was given a mantra while there. She has been married for 24 years and has 3

SPEAKER and TOPIC:
John Lemire: "Nutrition and Spiritual Practice"

John Lemire has been studying Yoga and Meditation since he was twenty years old.
Highly influenced by Paramahansa Yogananda, he traveled down to South Florida
during the fall of '07 to be initiated into Kriya Yoga by Roy Eugene Davis. 
John has studied the teachings of many world religions and teachers, including:
Eckhart Tolle, Ramana Maharashi, Carlos Castaneda, Gandhi, Jesus, Swami
Satyananda, Swami Sivananda, and many others.

Having been a Raw Food Vegan for over a year and a half, John is passionate
about nutrition and its effects on both the physiological state and the
psychological state.  Through self experimentation, John has become aware of the
profound way in which raw foods, meditation and yoga blend together to create a
synergistic effect.  He pursues his experiments with this potent combination of
lifestyle habits with enthusiasm and earnestness. He hopes to help make people
aware, and incorporate this tremendously practical combination into their own
lives.

John teaches yoga and writes in his off time.  He graduated from Laura Tyree's
Yoga Teacher Training in February, 2010, and he teaches at Dragonfly Yoga.  He
writes articles about his experiences and daily happenings on his blog.
