Book-Lovers Club

The Book-Lovers are back from the lake and ready for a lively discussion. This month's selection is Traveling with Pomegranates by Sue Monk Kidd, author of The Secret Life of Bees and Dance of the Dissident Daughter, and her daughter, Ann Kidd Taylor.  In this memoir, the two women explore what it means to be adult mother to adult daughter (and vice versa), and the search for "being" from the perspective of a woman turning 50 and a woman turning 24 and headed into the world. The Book-Lovers Club meets the first Tuesday monthly, the event is free, the conversation filled with life! All are welcome!

New! Reflexology Now Available at Green Lotus - Schedule Your Appointment Today!

Green Lotus is excited that Renay Ingledew, longtime practitioner of healing touch, Reiki, and Raindrop Therapy at Green Lotus, has completed reflexology training and is offering this NEW healing service at Green Lotus.

Reflexology, an ancient therapy, promotes relaxation, well-being, and the body's own healing powers. While commonly known as a foot massage, reflexology is a highly effective natural healing therapy for dealing with many body complaints. Pressure is applied to specific points on the feet to open blocks in corresponding parts of the body, thereby advancing healing. Click to make an appointment or call the Center at 952.373.0055.

Primary benefits of reflexology include:

  • releases stress and tension
  • improves blood circulation and activates lymph drainage
  • assists in elimination of toxins
  • strengthens the immune system and harmonizes vital functions
  • provides pain relief
  • enables a deep state of relaxation and well being
  • the American Cancer Society has found evidence that reflexology may help with anxiety and pain control for those living with the effects of cancer treatment.

Renay is an original healer at Green Lotus (almost three years now!) and received her training at the St. Croix Center for the Healing Arts in Hudson, Wisconsin.

New! Yoga for CancerCare™ Twice Weekly - $5 Drop-in Rate

Green Lotus has introduced a specially designed class for people who have been diagnosed with cancer, are undergoing treatment for cancer, or are recovering from treatment. Created with the input of students in treatment and recovery and their teachers, Yoga for CancerCare also is open to students' caregivers. Two of the one-hour classes are held weekly -- at 11 a.m. on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Classes focus on specially modified gentle yoga poses, guided imagery and relaxation segments, and breath work to relieve worry and stress. As part of its commitment to its community, Green Lotus is offering these classes for only a $5 drop-in rate.

Studies show that students with cancer who practice yoga are more able to counter fatigue, relieve stress, retain higher levels of physical fitness, and better resist the adverse effects of treatment, according to an article published by the online service EmaxHealth. Other reports to read or view include these: MSNBC and Yoga Journal, among many others.
