AUGUST 2010 Samui Mala healing circle meeting The circle is a meeting ground for sharing and inspiring others, an exchange of experience and skills, an opportunity to give and receive. There is no charge for attending the event which is kindly hosted at Kamalaya. This experiential sharing is entitled: What are you missing? Are you beside yourself? This discussion will be led by Andrea Hahn, a professional brain integration kinesiologist. She will present information about energetic core stability and show what being “out of whack” means energetically. This is not just a presentation, it will be an interactive and hands-on exchange where Andrea would like to inspire you to share also the techniques and mechanisms you use to bring yourself back to your centre. August 28, 7:30pm Yantra Hall, Kamalaya Wellness Sanctuary, Laem Set

KOH SAMUI TOP TEN LIST Rob Newman
Top ten ways to determine if perhaps you’re too old to go to the full moon party 10. You voted for Dewey, not Truman. 9. When you get on the speedboat to come over, the guy taking your ticket says “Thanks Gramps.” 8. You like the idea of all the alcohol being in a plastic bucket with straws, as your dentures won’t clink against glass. 7. You saved all the money you made as a greeter at Wal Mart to get to Thailand. 6. Your daily wardrobe consists of white tube socks and Dr. Scholl’s flip flops. 5. You remember how upset you were the day Priscilla broke up with Elvis. 4. You inquire if the nurse at your retuirement home might have fun if she came too. 3. Bangkok Airways offers you a senior citizen discount (okay, that will never happen). 2. When they tell you that to get to Koh Phangan you have to take a boat, you mention that you skippered the first Allied boat that landed at the Omaha Beach in WWII.
1. When Rastafarian guy whispers to you on the beach if you want drugs, you say “yes, I need some Lipitor.”
