Body Temple: A Tantric Dance Workshop
“This workshop will focus on exploration of the central energy pillar in our spine known as Sushumna. This nadi or meridian is a conduit for energy from Heaven to Earth and back again that runs down the middle of the spine, connecting all chakras from root to crown.
The workshop will combine traditional tantric techniques, Qi-Gong, somatic experiencing, and ecstatic/intuitive dance to support practitioners in gaining more pranic awareness, clearing energetic blockages, developing more somatic intelligence, find stability and awaken to the luminosity within. ”
Slow Motion Potion – a slow + spicy vinyasa class
“This practice will invite you to slow down and feel the power of each subtle movement in a spicy vinyasa flow. Moving slowly in practice does not mean easy: it is a skill, it is pleasurable and it asks for more discipline. It is powerful when we consciously slow down and FEEL the feedback from our bodies (physical, emotional, energetic, mental and bliss bodies)
We will be focusing on side body opening, somatic awareness and breath intelligence. The practice will be intentionally cued and sequenced to take you deeper into yourself and support connecting to your inner luminosity. ”

Laugher Yoga, Yin Yoga & Kirtan
Laughter Yoga is a unique kind of mind-body exercise, which combines unconditional laughter with yogic breathing. Anyone can laugh without relying on humor, jokes or comedy. Laughter is initially simulated as a physical exercise while maintaining eye contact with others in the group and promoting childlike playfulness. In most cases this soon leads to real and contagious laughter. Science has proven that the body cannot differentiate between simulated and real laughter. Laughter Yoga is the only technique that allows adults to achieve sustained hearty laughter without involving cognitive thought. It bypasses the intellectual systems that normally act as a brake on natural laughter.
Scientifically, it has been proven that twenty minutes of laughter is sufficient to develop full physiological and psychological benefit. Some of the proven health benefits of Laugher Yoga include: Reduced stress levels; Boosting of the immune system; Reduced pain; Elevated mood; Happy brain chemistry; Improved circulation; & Greater feelings of kindness, joy, forgiveness & love.
Laughter Yoga is an easy, fun and super-effective way to release stress while inviting more joy into one’s life. It is appropriate for children of ALL ages and all levels of fitness. No prior experience is necessary. Come see for yourself why there are over 10,000 Laughter Clubs in over 120 countries around the world!
Yin Yoga offers a profound journey into relaxation and rejuvenation. Focused on holding passive poses for extended durations, Yin targets the deep connective tissues. In this workshop, we will focus on the hips and back. This deliberate approach cultivates flexibility, releases tension, and stimulates a profound sense of well-being.
Deep stretches held for an extended period go beyond the superficial muscles, delving into the fascia and ligaments. As the body settles into each shape, the breath becomes a guide, fostering mindfulness and a tranquil connection between mind and body. The sustained postures encourage surrender, inviting practitioners to explore the edges of comfort with patience and acceptance.
The magic of Yin lies in its ability to unlock stored energy and promote the free flow of life force throughout the body. This not only alleviates physical discomfort but also nurtures a serene mental landscape.
Embrace the stillness, invite serenity into your hips and back, and embark on a journey of self-discovery and renewal through the beautiful practice of Yin Yoga.

With the support of numerology, this year, 2025 is represented by The Hermit card.
As we flow further into this year, we can investigate how this card’s energy, interpretations and guidance can support our journey forward, and reflect of how this cards influence has affected this year already.

Let’s TALK Yoga – Self Discovery to Self Mastery
“Today, at least in the Western world, yoga is seen as another exercise class to take at the gym or at a yoga studio, something that will make your muscles sore for days afterward or at least de-stress you. For thousands of years, the term “yoga” encompassed many things, First and foremost, these ancient versions of yoga were mostly spiritual practices, involving meditation and self mastery. Self-Mastery is the ability to recognize, understand, conquer, and make the most out of your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual self.
This session will take you on a journey from self actualization to self discovery to self creation and ultimately to self mastery.”
Consciousness and Science
The question of consciousness has been examined by philosophers and theologians for millennia; for the longest time, debating the nature of consciousness was the exclusive purview of philosophers. But recently a shift has taken place: scientists are getting into the game. Understandably, if science is to be at the cutting edge, it has to be about questions that no one is willing to ask. Has the nature of consciousness finally shifted from a philosophical question to a scientific one that can be solved by doing experiments? The purpose of this session is to challenge and shake up our intuitions about consciousness and to explore the subject by questioning, observing and wondering, and NOT concluding.

Tour Body is Hardly Your Body
Did you know you have more bacteria viruses and fungi cells in and on your body then your own cells? Our microbiome, comprising diverse communities of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms, plays a crucial role in maintaining our health and integrity. These microorganisms form a complex ecosystem that interacts dynamically with the body’s immune system, influencing various physiological processes such as barrier function, inflammation, neuro chemicals and even wound healing. A balanced gut and skin microbiome helps defend against external pathogens, regulates immune responses, and contributes to the maintenance of body’s health and pH.In this session, we will delve into exploring the significance of our choices and it’s implication on our microbiome and in turn our health.

Amanita Mushroom Tea Ceremony With Josie Bray and Corrigan Luckey
In this 75-minute Sacred Ceremony, will introduce the Spirit of Amanita Muscaria,the iconic red and white-spotted mushroom, through a tea ceremony. Known for its psychoactive properties, Amanita muscaria contains compounds like muscimol and ibotenic acid, which can induce altered states of consciousness. While the mushroom is not a classic psychedelic in the sense of psilocybin mushrooms, it has been used historically in various shamanic and spiritual traditions. The Amanita muscaria mushroom has a rich history in indigenous and shamanic traditions, particularly in Siberia, where it has been used in rituals for centuries to induce visionary states and to communicate with spirits. This ceremony will connect you to the spirit of the mushroom though an opening ritual, a small dose of the mushroom, meditation, sensing into the mushroom and working with a Shamanic journey through drumming and trance. Please bring a journal and a pen.

Emily Welther
Vinyasa Yoga – Find Your Flow
“In this presentation, Emily blends her love of dance and her choreographic experience with a Vinyasa Yoga class, moving from one asana to the next in challenging and energizing flows. Each participant looks for their own rhythm, and begins to cultivate a deeper understanding of how energy moves through and around the body.
The class encourages the continuous, conscious movement of each individual and the group as a whole; the inner experience affects and moves the collective. We will explore how the breath can guide and amplify each movement, cultivating a state of presence that connects body, mind, and spirit. By focusing on step-by-step sequencing of Vinyasas, as well as delving into the transitions moving into and out of each Asana, we will deepen the awareness of our bodies and our breath, and discover our own continuous flow.
The workshop ends with finding the flow in stillness and encourages the participants to become the Asana they embody. Discovering the inner flow of the cactus, the humble warrior, or the radiant goddess, the class brings the attention inward to sense the continuity of breath and Prana.
Whether you’re an experienced yogi or new to Vinyasa, this workshop offers a space to explore conscious continuity by integrating breath, movement, and energy. Come ready to find and practice your own energetic and unhindered flow.
