SUMMARY:The Art and Science of äsis Breathing
DESCRIPTION:Description: \nIT’S A FACT . . . \nTHE DEEPER YOU CAN BREATHE \nTHE LONGER YOU CAN LIVE \nIn the well-known\, twenty-year prospective Framingham Study\, medical researchers concluded that second only to age\, one’s ability to take a deep breath is the single best predictor of longevity. This is not surprising\, given that breathing is your most vital connection to the outer world — just five minutes without it and life ceases. And the breath goes far beyond the lungs…every cell in your body is breathing\, firing molecules of food with oxygen to satisfy your moment-to-moment energy needs. So how well you breathe is the foundation of your vitality\, health and life expectancy. \nIn this hands-on workshop\, you will learn the art of äsis breathing­—a powerful\, step-by-step method that will profoundly enhance the quality of your life. \nYou will learn how to: \n\nUse your core muscles to breathe deeply and efficiently.\nTone your pelvic floor for postural support.\nCalm your mind on the go.\nTreat low back pain\, headache and incontinence.\nBoost your sex life.\nImprove sleep.\nIncrease vitality.\n\nBecause every aspect of your life is intimately interconnected\, incorporating this easy\, twenty-minute practice in your daily routine can powerfully galvanize positive lifestyle changes that can last a lifetime. \nWhat to bring: \n\nA towel to lie on\nPerhaps\, a small pillow for your head\nAn empty stomach\nAn open mind\n\nAfter completing a BA in physics from the University of Colorado\, an MD from Northwestern University\, and a Family Medicine residency at the top-ranked Community Hospital of Sonoma County\, Dr. Jia journeyed to Japan and China for intensive training in martial arts and acupuncture. Returning to Boulder\, Colorado in 1984\, Dr. Jia established the Still Mountain Clinic\, which he directed for over twenty-five years. He holds black belts in aikido and karate\, plays the bamboo flute\, is a lifelong student of yoga and Zen meditation\, and is learning to tango. His first presentation for Lifelong Learning\, Living in the Sweet Spot\, was well received by all participants. \n  \nDownload Flyer here:

SUMMARY:Yee Peng: Lanna Lantern Festival
DESCRIPTION:Description: \nMost of you are familiar with the delightful Thai festival called Loy Krathong\, but how many of you know about Yee Peng or the Lantern Festival which takes place at the same time every year? Yee Peng is celebrated in northern Thailand on the full moon of the 12th month. It is a religious event where various types of lanterns are put up in front of the house to show devotion to the Buddha\, including the sky lanterns to worship the deities in the high heaven. In addition to hanging lanterns\, the Lanna people light small candles called “Phang Pratheep” to show gratitude to all their benefactors including the house and walls that protect them. Yee Peng coincides with the Loy Krathong festival that originated in central Thailand and they share common beliefs. \nIn this workshop\, led by Ajarn Waewdao\, an expert in Lanna culture\, you will learn about the origins and traditions associated with Yee Peng. You will then participate in a craft workshop\, making your own “Phang Pratheep” as well as a rabbit ear lantern. (Koam Hoo Kratai). Finally\, you will learn how to dance the traditional line dance called “ramwong” which is always a key part of these two festivals. \nBe ready for Yee Peng and Loy Krathong which will be on November 27 and 28 this year by participating in this fun hands-on workshop! \nAjarn Waewdao is a choreographer/ dancer from Chiang Rai who first studied dance within her village community. In 2005 she went to UCLA in the US to earn an MFA in Dance/Choreography. She was a 2006 APPEX Fellow and a recipient of a major fellowship from the Asian Cultural Council. She currently teaches Lanna dance at a variety of locations in Chiang Mai. \n  \nDownload Flyer here:

SUMMARY:Are Those Mountains Around Chiang Mai Part of the Himalaya?
DESCRIPTION:Description: \nA quick look at the geological backstory with Dr. Chris Carpenter \nWe in Chiangmai live next door to the highest\, steepest\, most dynamic mountains on Earth. The geological forces that build the Himalaya and the Tibet Plateau\, and tear them down\, remain active today and exert a profound effect on the landscapes of Northern Thailand. \nThis talk is about how the main event\, India’s collision with Asia\, has sculpted the Himalayan region\, and how it continues to shape the mountains and rivers around us\, as we are reminded by the occasional earthquake. Much we think we know is still under debate\, so there will be time for discussion. \nAbout the Presenter \nChris Carpenter received his PhD in Biological Ecology from the University of California\, Davis.  He works with the Wildlands Studies Program\, an academic partner of Western Washington University. His area of specialty is ecology and environmental science. \n  \nDownload Flyer here:

SUMMARY:World War Two History Excursion to Chiang Mai and Lamphun
DESCRIPTION:Description: \nAbout our lecturer: \nJack Eisner is a retired university lecturer in English\, who has lived in Chiang Mai since 1998. He taught at Payap University and Chiang Mai University before retiring from teaching in 2013. Since 2007\, as a labor of personal interest\, Jack has been doing research\, writing and lecturing on the subject of the World War II pursuit fighter unit of the Republic of China Air Force\, officially named the American Volunteer Group (1941-1942)\, but more commonly known by the moniker the Flying Tigers. \nSchedule for Day Excursion: \n\n8:30. Meet promptly at Lifelong Learning Payap Center for an orientation and introduction to the history and places that will be visited on this Northern Thailand World War II Excursion\, by Aj. Jack Eisner. (See Aj. Jack’s brief bio below.)\n9:45  Depart the Center by van to visit the Tango Squadron Air Museum at the Chiang Mai Airport\, Airforce Base\, Wing 41. The museum hangar sits on the site\, more or less\, of the WWII-era airfield\, which was attacked by a flight of 6 Flying Tigers on March 24\, 1942. At the museum there are numerous exhibits describing American contributions to the China-India-Burma Theater during World War 2. Special exhibits of vintage planes and equipment remembering the famous “Flying Tigers” are part of this Museum.\n11:15  Depart Tango Squadron for Wat Muen San\, in the Wulai area of Chiang Mai. During World War II\, Wat Muen San became a field hospital of the Imperial Japanese army where they treated wounded soldiers. It was also a POW compound for a group of British soldiers captured in Singapore or Malaya. There is a Japanese-Thai memorial site at the temple where a service takes place every August 15th. Inside the temple compound museum there are various types of equipment and tools\, as well as a large display of Japanese military weapons.\n12:15  Leave from Wat Muen San for lunch at a Thai Restaurant.\n13:30  Transfer to the Black Steel Bridge at Ban Sankhayom\, Lamphun.\n14:15Arrive at the Black Steel Bridge\, known in Thai as the “Saphan Dum” in Muang Lamphun. The bridge is used to cross the San River. During World War II\, the Allied forces attempted to disrupt the supply lines and support of the Japanese army. This black bridge bears the strafing marks of bullets fired from Allied airplanes.\n14:45  Depart Black Bridge for Ban Kat. En route to Ban Kat we will pass the rice field where Flying Tigers Squadron Leader and “Ace” Jack Newkirk was killed in the crash of his P-40 on March 24\, 1942.  His gravesite is still preserved\, although there is no obvious marker. This is a dramatic story\, in part because Newkirk was already an acclaimed hero in the USA at the time of his crash.\n16:00  Arrive at the Japanese memorial\, Ban Kat. In the Spring of 1944 Baan Kat\, which was located on the Imperial Japanese Army Central Route to and from Burma\, became a major stop for retreating Japanese soldiers\, because of a Japanese medical facility there. The soldiers were making their way to the railhead at Chiang Mai via Sanpatong.  However\, thousands died at Ban Kat.\n16:30  Leave Ban Kat and return to Chiang Mai\n17:30  Arrive at LLL Center (depending upon traffic)\n\nMinimum number of participants is eight \nIncluded in the Excursion: \n\nFaculty Lecturer\nLocal guide to escort group\nAdmission fees\nLunch with drinking water\nDrinking water on tour\nInsurance\n\n  \nDownload Flyer here:

SUMMARY:Thailand: The War Years
DESCRIPTION:Description: \nWorld War Two had barely ended when a series of violent conflicts erupted in Asia and Southeast Asia\, which greatly affected Thailand economically\, culturally\, and politically. From 1954 on\, after the Communist Viet Minh expelled the French from Vietnam\, Thailand was faced with new challenges with war all around it and a communist insurgency challenging its traditional way of life. Great change occurred inside Thailand during the Second Indochina War Years\, most commonly ascribed as 1959-1975. But beginning in the early 1950s through at least 1984\, Thailand experienced the most rapid social\, cultural\, economic\, and political changes arguably of any country in the world. This presentation attempts to describe Thailand during these war years and how these changes affected the population. \nAbout the Presenter: \nPaul T. Carter\, PhD lives in Chiang Mai\, Thailand where he lectures and writes on lessons-learned from the Second Indochina War\, explores lost battlefields\, and liaisons with former warriors. He holds a Doctor of Philosophy degree from Thai Studies\, Chulalongkorn University\, Bangkok. \nA retired U.S. Army intelligence officer\, he has a YouTube channel @Carter on Conflict and was a contributor to the American PBS documentary The Hmong and the Secret War.

SUMMARY:The Highland People Discovery Museum
DESCRIPTION:Description: \nThis museum reflects a period of extensive interest in the cultures of diverse ethnic groups living in remote areas of northern Thailand and neighboring countries. In the 1960s the Tribal Research Institute was established under the auspices of the Ministry of Interior on the grounds of Chiang Mai University. It facilitated cooperation and exchange of research within the context of development and change. Supported by many organizations including the Ford Foundation\, Asia Foundation and SEATO\, it linked research by academics to organizations having a long history in the area\, particularly\, Christian missions that crossed borders. And\, due to development of these remote areas under the leadership of HM King Bhumibhol Adulyadej\, Rama IX\, knowledge of the highland peoples became a national priority. \nAs a result\, documentation and collections were moved to a dedicated center to create an archive and museum to preserve and share knowledge of the hill area cultures with local communities. It includes exhibitions featuring the Akha\, Lahu\, Lisu\, Karen\, Mien\, Hmong\, Lawa\, Thin\, Khmu and Mlabri peoples and offers reconstructions of their living spaces in the extensive gardens. \n  \nDownload Flyer here:

The Salak Yom Festival features the presentation of elaborately decorated “trees of gifts” to the Buddhist monks and novices of Wat Phathat Hariphunchai. The tall bamboo pole\, the centerpiece of the ritual is decorated with thousands of brightly colored tufted rods\, palm leaf manuscript holder\, foodstuffs and money\, the lower halves of the tree are decorated with daily objects\, cooking utensils\, cloths\, fruits\, vegetable and various kind of containers. Originally\, the Salak Yom festival was a rite of passage for young women in ethnic Yong society. The tree was prepared and offered by women. Salak Yom was considered to be equal to the merit gained from ordaining as a Buddhist monk. \nItinerary: \n8.30  Vans leave for Lamphun from Lifelong Learning Payap Center \n9.00  Arrive at Wat Phathat Hariphunchai\, the royal temple of Lamphun. The temple origins date from the 11th century but the central stupa is thought to originate in the 9th century. This temple was first rebuilt in 1443 by King Tilokaraja of Lanna kingdom Chiang Mai. At the temple participants will have the unique opportunity to observe the Salak Yom festival. \n10.00  Walk (or ride in the van) to the near-by National Museum of Lamphun.

SUMMARY:Collected Chin Textiles from Three Countries
DESCRIPTION:Description: \nLifelong Learning Payap participants will first have a short presentation by the Director of KALM Village\, a new art\, craft and culture center located in the Chiang Mai old city.  Following the introduction to KALM\, we will have a unique opportunity to learn first-hand about the Chin People and Culture through a talk by the family that is currently exhibiting their collection of Chin textiles at KALM Village.  You will see the textiles and hear stories about ten of them\, plus our speakers will answer your questions and lead you through their exhibition. After the program you may want to remain to have lunch or coffee at the restaurant or coffee shop inside the Village\, and explore the other exhibits and places of interest there.  The Village is fully handicap accessible. \nAbout the Exhibit: \nTextiles are an essential part of Chin culture\, which encompasses various groups of people living in western Myanmar\, northeastern India and eastern Bangladesh. The Chin people\, also called Zo\, Lai or Kuki\, have a rich and diverse tradition of textiles\, which reflect their style\, skill and cultural significance. Textiles are not only admired for their aesthetics and craftsmanship\, but also used as a way of narrating stories\, events and beliefs. \nThe exhibition includes a selection of textiles\, garments and jewelry from the YOYAMAY collection\, which spans over 30 years. The collection covers different Chin speaking groups\, such as Northern Chin\, Southern Chin\, Khumi/ Khami/ Mro\, and Sho. \nBesides the heritage textiles and objects that YOYAMAY has collected and displayed in this exhibition\, Kalm Village is hosting a mini pop-up shop by YOYAMAY\, which features their work in preserving knowledge through documentation and production of their contemporary textiles and products. This is part of their ongoing effort to create opportunities for Chin women to earn a living with their inherited knowledge. \nThe exhibition invites us to explore the history from the perspective of Chin people with their valuable cultural heritage\, and to examine how textiles can strengthen the sense of kinship and belonging. The exhibition also offers us ways of learning from the past to better understand and shape our present situation.” \nParking is available in a lot across from the Village.  We will limit our group to 30 participants\, so sign up early to be sure you will get to attend this special presentation. \n  \nDownload Flyer here:

SUMMARY:Chiang Rai – A Crossroads of Culture\, History\, and Art
DESCRIPTION:Description and Itinerary: \nDay 1 – The Founding of Lanna \nIn 1262 King Mengrai founded the Kingdom of a Million Ricefields at Chiang Rai.

We begin our exploration at the Mae Fah Luang Art and Cultural Park and a presentation on the history of Chiang Rai and the Mae Kok River.

We will end the day and check in at The Legend Chiang Rai on the bank of the Mae Kok River. \nDay 2 – Geography and History of Exchange \nWe will discover the geographical and cultural networks that made Chiang Rai a center of exchange.
