Tamar Samir is an Advanced Certified Jivamukti Yoga Teacher and a creative director/design professor based in NYC. She is passionate about animal rights and sustainability, as an expression of ahimsa, the yogic principle of non-harming. In January 2011, Tamar completed the No Impact Project’s first Eco-Leader training with Colin Beavan, aka No Impact Man. Through her association with The No Impact Project, Tamar leads No Impact Weeks, weeklong 'carbon cleanse' programs that empower citizens to make choices which better their lives and lower their environmental impact.

Program description:
Some of us emphasize self-help. Others of us emphasize activism. In their extremes, one path forgets the world needs help. The other forgets that we as individuals need help. One denies the truth of interdependence, the other the truth of separate personality. Both paths belong to the ego. What if we accepted the larger truth of existence? That we are both interdependent and separate. What if, embracing both, we were able to use our personal concerns to help the world and if we could use our world concerns to help ourselves? How powerful would it be if we could integrate those two, pointing all our energy in one direction instead of splitting it? What, in other words, if we were able to find a way where self-help and activism became one? What if to do that meant marrying your personality's passions with your soul's concerns? What if it meant throwing away self and other and just following your whole Truth? (free & open to the public)
