Seva Centre is now a Non-Profit Co-operative and is in a New Location

Press Release: Seva Centre in new location
For immediate release
Submitted by: Anisah Madden

The Seva Centre is excited to present it's Fall 2009 schedule of classes in our new location -
The Boundary Women's Resource Centre on Market Avenue. Over the summer the Seva Centre formed a non-profit Co-operative to provide an umbrella for it's activities. In addition to a variety of classes in yoga, expressive arts, meditation, and movement ritual, we will be offering yoga and creative movement classes by donation on "Seva Saturdays" through October and November.

Seva Saturdays are one-hour morning classes offered by the different co-op members on a rotating basis. The classes on the Seva Saturdays will be by donation only and will give people an opportunity to try different classes and instructors, and those with low incomes a chance to access the innovative services being offered through the Centre.

But for the women who make up the co-operative, Anisah Madden, Elisabeth Guentert Bay, Mona Mattei, and Michele Dean, the focus of the Centre is so much more than just the opportunity to share their innovative practices with the community.
Our vision is to be able to provide the community with the resources for personal well-being through our classes but also as individual practitioners. The group has a variety of skills to offer and the different therapies that they are able to provide are unique to the area.

The members of the co-operative offer individual healing therapies such as energy healing, herbal medicine, private yoga sessions, bodywork and more. The group is committed to offering quality classes and services that create vitality and inspiration for a joyful life.

“As a non-profit group we are also dedicated in giving back to the community through creating projects that will bring people together and contribute to a thriving healing arts community.The Centre also hopes to continue their tradition of offering regular events as they had in their previous location and they invite ideas for these projects and presentations.
