Developing Courage: Way of the Peaceful Warrior
We live in a global community, and feel each other as never before. That sensitivity brings a responsibility to step up and to find our inner strength, for the sake of ourselves as well as others. We have been told by many teachers and guides that times will get rough at the dawning of the Golden Age. Now is the time to develop the strength, courage, and wisdom to sail over any chaos. This is the time to live for each other so that we can live in peace globally, in the highest possible viewpoint for all. Join us in the practice of Kundalini Yoga Kriyas and Meditations that will broaden our perspectives to see how much we really do affect one another, and can ultimately heal and uplift one another. Join us as we chant, laugh, dance, and then relax within the Sacred Sound Current of the Word. All levels are welcome.

3 Bodies Guided Movement
This is a movement-based class to connect more deeply with the whole self, reinhabiting our expressive physical form through use of imagery, story, drawing/writing, prop-based exploration, partner/group dynamics and freeform dance. Inspired by dance, qigong, meditation, Butoh, and other somatic practices, we light up our creative pathways to live more in our authentic self, showing up in a way that reflects one's genuine self without holding back or conforming. Valuable for everyone, this practice is also beneficial to artists, dancers, actors, musicians, as creative movement encourages flow to one's creative process and enhances creative impulses.

Experiential Workshop
Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises (or TRE®)
A simple yet innovative series of exercises that assist the body in releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension and trauma. Created by Dr. David Berceli, PhD, TRE safely activates a natural reflex mechanism of shaking or vibrating that releases muscular tension, calming down the nervous system. When this muscular shaking/vibrating mechanism is activated in a safe and controlled environment, the body is encouraged to return back to a state of balance.
Please bring a yoga mat or blanket to lay on. You might want a journal too.
