After relocating to Oxford, Ohio in 1990, he worked clubs, campuses, and corporate stages, appeared on television and radio, opened for national touring acts, and even once hosted a show that featured a wrestling bear. Piper also created and fronted the cable program What’s the Buzz and produced the Ozzie Comedy Open, a two day mix of comedy and golf that raises funds for a local college scholarship.

Crystal singing bowls create gentle waves of vibration to help the body unwind and reach a deeply restful state. Once relaxed, tuning forks aligned with each chakra are used to encourage the release of negative energy and support a more positive flow. Reported effects include reduced stress and anxiety, clearer focus, emotional release, a more balanced mood, improved sleep, relief from inflammation-related pain, and an overall sense of well-being. Sessions are 15 minutes for an energetic exchange of $20.

    Be Still & Know Silent Retreat Weekend with Swami Sankarananda

    Yoga Central, 4626 Cleveland Ave NW, Canton · verified Aug 9
    See details

    A quiet, contemplative weekend welcomes anyone sincerely seeking truth. A dedicated sacred space is cared for so the inner journey can deepen, with silence honored during set periods and participants staying within the retreat environment to support full immersion. The focus is not just the absence of sound, but a living inner stillness of peace, fullness, and joy at the heart. The intention is to help cultivate a trusting relationship with this inner silence and carry it into daily life, remaining at home within no matter how busy things become. Guided by Swami Sankarananda, the program weaves silence, meditation, chanting, Yoga Asana, and the wisdom teachings of the great yogis to illuminate a path from fear toward abiding peace, love, and joy. The experience is meant to be deep yet approachable, whether this is a first silent retreat or a return to familiar practice, with practical tools to continue the work beyond the weekend. Most gatherings take place in the studio, where restrooms are available, though there are no showers. Personal time is encouraged outdoors while staying close to the studio, and a peace walk is planned, weather permitting. Simple vegetarian meals with vegan options are provided, with brunch and dinner as the main mealtimes and tea and light snacks available throughout the day. At night, the studio becomes a shared sleeping area with ample room to spread out, along with changing areas and storage space. Participants are encouraged to bring a twin-size inflatable mattress or a sleeping bag. Seva, or selfless service, is part of the shared practice, with opportunities such as meal preparation and tidying discussed at the start of the weekend. Individual spiritual counseling with Swami is available and can be scheduled on site. Silence is observed through most of the retreat, with voices reserved for chanting and time with the teacher. Anyone who does not feel well or needs to speak is asked to let Swami know. Personal devices are turned off at the beginning and ideally remain off for the duration, with personal contacts notified in advance, and the teacher remains reachable for emergencies. Please bring toiletries, a towel and washcloth, any needed medications, a pillow and blanket, and a sleeping bag if possible. In support of a simple, earth-friendly approach, plan to use a personal, reusable bowl, plate, cup, fork, spoon, and a refillable water bottle since disposables are not used. Wear loose, breathable clothing for yoga, and bring walking shoes for the peace walk along with sunscreen, insect repellent, and any outdoor essentials. Yoga mats are provided, though a personal mat is welcome. The rhythm of the weekend includes early morning satsang with silent meditation, chanting, and teachings, Yoga Asana and pranayama, discernment workshops, individual practice time, gentle yoga or yoga nidra, peace chanting, and a closing period of reflection, prayers, and arati.
