Brave New Canada (Canadian International Council)

Category:
Dates: November 4, 2014 - November 4, 2014

The CIC Vancouver Branch invites you to join us for a Law Courts Luncheon with Derek Burney and Fen Hampson on November 4th, 2014, doors open at 11:30am. Lunch will be served.

Derek Burney and Fen Hampson will speak about their vision for Canada and its role in the world based on their newly released book Brave New Canada. This is a unique opportunity to hear two of Canada's foremost foreign policy thinkers.

In Brave New Canada, Burney and Hampson identify trends that are reshaping the world's geopolitics and economics and discuss the challenges Canada confronts with the rise of China and other global centres of power. Their examination of a wide range of themes - including the place of pluralistic democratic values in diplomacy, economics, and trade, the ways that Canada should reset relations with its neighbour to the south, as well as how to manage new global security threats - paints a picture of how Canada can become bold, assertive, and confident and easily adjust to a new global landscape.

Arguing that a successful foreign policy cannot be crafted by looking at the world in the rear-view mirror, Brave New Canada offers evidence-based, provocative prescriptions for both the public and private sectors that should stimulate discussion and command widespread attention.

We look forward to seeing you there!

#CICVan

COSTUMES! MYSTIC FOOD! MYSTIC GAMES! PRIZES! And of course, CHANTING AND DANCING!

Kirtan moves us inward in the yoga of devotion. In this reflective state we discover our true selves, and are brought to CELEBRATION where soul and body are stirred to dance. This will be a night to celebrate Divinity in full force and get your DANCE on!

Your ALL-STAR kirtan lineup:

MAHIDHARA
In the direct disciplic lineage of Sri Chaitanya, Mahidhara is one of the first pioneers of bhakti yoga and danceable kirtan in Vancouver which began in the era of the flower children. A profound and reflective song writer with a voice often compared to David Bowie, Mahidhara has a heart of tender saintly reflection that will take your kirtan experience to a distinctive level of joyful celebration you will never forget. Mahidhara recently moved to Venables Valley in the interior of BC, so we are truly blessed to have his legendary presence for this festive and musical evening!

NITAI PRIYA
Currently working on her debut album (under a different moniker) being recorded in New Orleans with international jazz superstars from both New Orleans and New York, Nitai Priya has also performed on Broadway with the Harry Connick, Jr. Big Band. Nitai Priya composes all the full instrumentation for the instruments in her jazz orchestras, and she enjoys melding jazz and classical vocals with her mystical and healing approach to spirituality and kirtan. Nitai Priya is also an accomplished metaphysician, healer and vocal coach.

ANAND
Anand David Embry (B. of Music) an experienced group facilitator, studied vocal awareness with Chloe Goodchild of ‘The Naked Voice’ and has been leading kirtan chant in both Vancouver and Victoria for over 25 years. He brings humour, devotion and sincerity to his playing allowing a deep sense of peace and stillness to permeate the group. His classes and workshops take a person into deep listening providing psychoacoustic and spiritual development through sacred chant.

NEERAJ APTIKAR
Stay tuned for beautiful information about Neeraj!

JAI GOPAL
In late 1990s, Jai Gopal discovered Kundalini Yoga and the beautiful chants that come out of the Yogi Bhajan and Sikh tradition. Hearing these profound sound currents encouraged her to expand her singer/songwriter leanings and step into the open-hearted and healing path of devotional chants and mantras. A musician (keyboard, voice, guitar, flute) from an early age, Jai Gopal's music is intuitive, warm and resonates with depth and delight. She offers her nourishing events "Chant Your Heart Open" throughout Vancouver and outlying areas.

Costumes are highly encouraged, though not required. Be creative! There will be prizes!

GAMES AND PRIZES

Great Expectations Fashion Show (Pacific Post Partum Support Society)

Category: Fundraisers and Volunteer
Dates: October 5, 2014 - October 5, 2014

Informative, interesting and funny, Great Expectations features beautiful, bizarre, and memorable 20th century maternity garments from the extensive private collection of fashion historian Ivan Sayers.

The show is a fundraiser for the Pacific Post Partum Support Society. An estimated 1 out of every 6 women experiences troubling depression or anxiety after the birth or adoption of a child.

Pacific Post Partum Support Society has been there to support these women and their families for over 40 years.

As a not for profit organization, our Society relies on donations and grants to continue providing its valuable services.

We look forward to seeing you at Great Expectations!
