    From Stillness to Authentic Expression – a Kundalini Meditation experience
    In our hectic modern lives, finding stillness may feel like a distant goal. However, in these quiet moments, we discover our true selves and the path to authentic expression. This journey involves self-discovery, embracing imperfections, and fostering self-love. To start, we create stillness through mindfulness or meditation. This practice unlocks authentic expression, where we trust our intuition and stay true to ourselves. This journey is challenging but inspiring to others, drawing like-minded people and opportunities.
    Workshop Highlights:
    – Deep Kundalini Yoga Meditations for inner listening, energy flow, and wisdom
    – Pranayam to connect with life’s force
    – Naad Yoga and mantra practice for expressive alignment
    – Deep relaxation for cellular healing

    Heal Yourself with your Sexual Shakti Power
    This is a workshop style session bringing together the sacred masculine and the sacred feminine within us, and how these are played out in relation to others. Instructions of different exercises honoring the womb in all bodies will be guided, creating amongst participants a space of empowerment as well as a safe terrain for the feminine inner force we call Shakti to express itself. Its goal is to explore our sexualities and touch the surface of our intimate connection to our bodies, ourselves and our life purpose. And from this open, uncritical space of discovery, it also aims to bring an inclusive understanding of our social identities. It includes meditations from Kundalini Yoga and some movement, dyads, group share and depending on the group, it may include a circle of no shame regarding one’s sexualities, diversities and past traumas around the body. It is open to all genders and sexual orientations.
    Cúrate con tu poder sexual Shakti
    Esta es una sesión estilo taller que reúne lo sagrado masculino y lo sagrado femenino dentro de nosotros, y cómo se manifiestan en relación con los demás. Se guiarán instrucciones de diferentes ejercicios que honran el útero en todos los cuerpos, creando entre los participantes un espacio de empoderamiento así como un terreno seguro para que la fuerza interna femenina que llamamos Shakti se exprese. Su objetivo es explorar nuestras sexualidades y tocar la superficie de nuestra conexión íntima con nuestros cuerpos, nosotros mismos y nuestro propósito de vida. Y desde este espacio de descubrimiento abierto y acrítico, también pretende aportar una comprensión inclusiva de nuestras identidades sociales. Incluye meditaciones de Kundalini Yoga y algo de movimiento, díadas, compartir en grupo y, dependiendo del grupo, puede incluir un círculo sin vergüenza con respecto a las sexualidades, diversidades y traumas pasados alrededor del cuerpo. Está abierto a todos los géneros y orientaciones sexuales.

We will move the body with an energetic kriya and quiet the mind with a deep powerful meditation to experience the clarity of this connection and plant the seed of a new concept of healing that lies completely in our own hands.
  • 11:15 – 12:30 PM: Men’s Circle (@ Inco Park)
    The men’s healing circle is when a group of men gather together to listen to each other and hold the space with love and compassion. In the middle of the circle is a talking stick. One picks up the talking stick and in his time allows what needs to be spoken, to be spoken. We hold the sacred space and the stick returns to the middle of the circle and the process continues. We listen and if we feel moved, we pick up the talking stick and speak our truth. The guidelines will be presented within the circle, with all of us making a commitment to honor. This circle will be led by Chief Open Heart. Chief has been a Kundalini Yoga practitioner for thirteen years. He took to the prescription of daily practice and winter and summer solstice to reach his higher self. He loves teaching yoga and inspiring all to live in peace.

    Sat Nam Rasayan: the ancient art of healing
    Learn to heal and be healed with the ancient art of Sat Nam Rasayan®. You will experience how:⁣
    • To heal others with only your consciousness, awareness, and the application of Silence
    • To integrate Silence & calmness into your life through this practice
    • To experience mental clarity & presence ⁣
    In Sat Nam Rasayan we approach illness, mental and emotional imbalances as conflicts in the system that the person doesn’t know how or cannot release on their own.  As healers, we build and develop our state of Silence (Shuniya) where we merge with the experience of the event, person or object and have a direct perception of what is happening. This is how the healing happens.

    Spiritual and Emotional Maturity
    Spiritual and emotional development are related but different. Finding peace on the mat while denying real human issues and traumas can turn our pursuit of happiness into a form of repression. Spiritual practice can become spiritual bypassing, with tragic results. When we use meditative clarity to safely feel and process what is really there, we engage in true healing and full personal development. Life and relationships don’t fall apart off the mat and down the road. Let’s discuss and practice.
