The Medicine Wheel holds many profound teachings and is representative of the circle of life. In this meditation we move through the four cardinal directions of the traditional Native American Medicine Wheel to help potentiate healing, awakening, and most of all balance leaving you more whole, fulfilled, and connected to Self and Source. 

 

Let go of patterns and beliefs that no longer serve you, connect with Spirit, plant seeds of intention, ignite passion, gratitude, and bring to fruition the power of your intuition to shape your best life. Together with animal guides, earth elements, and the seasons, this meditation will leave you feeling renewed, balanced, empowered, and ready to live life the life that wants to live in you!

RACHEL MUSQUIZ

 

Exploring Ayurveda: Connecting to the Elements in Mind, Body, and Spirit

 

Over 5000 years ago, the ancient Vedic texts outlined how to live a life of balance through movement, diet, and lifestyle. While Yoga focuses on movement and breath, Ayurveda focuses on food as medicine. Using the elements (earth, wind, air, fire, and water) as a framework, Ayurveda provides the wisdom to identify your personal constitution and create a lifestyle that supports an optimal experience in your mind, body, and spirit–that’s free of disease and full of joy! In this workshop, Rachel will introduce the main tenets of Ayurveda, guide you through a Dosha Quiz to identify your mind-body type, and explain how to recognize symptoms of imbalance.

SUZY SOULSHINE

 

Soulshine Rhythm Experience: An interactive journey into rhythmic bliss

 

The sun, the earth's source of energy and light, is made dependent on a certain order with its rhythmical motion. The Greek origin of the word “rhythm” is “to flow", and when we are in rhythm we experience the splendid order and amazing harmony in the order of the universe. From the phases of the moon, to the cycles of the tide, nature surrounds with its calming, steady pulse of rhythm. For centuries, the drum has been utilized as a tool for celebrating this rhythm of life, honoring traditions and bonding with community. Enjoy a journey into rhythmic bliss with Suzy Soulshine as your guide. Let us tap into our inner rhythm and enjoy the ancient, unifying experience of group drumming. Drums provided.

 

As a trained Drum & Rhythm Facilitator, I utilize the drum as tool for communication and personal expression, two very important elements in achieving mind/body integration and overall wellness. In my journey as a drummer and teacher, I have experienced firsthand, the remarkable healing power of rhythm. On a deeper level, group drumming builds bridges while fostering nurturing, support, camaraderie, self-respect and respect for others, and of course, joy. I can't wait to see you in the circle. Let's Play!

Agnihotra Fire Ceremony

 

Agnihotra is an ancient technology revealed in the Vedic life sciences. Its practice induces a harmonizing resonance to heal the environment and self, through the element of fire.The healing fire is prepared in a copper pyramid using gomai and ghee. At the precise transitions of sunrise and sunset, an Agnihotri (practitioner) chants Mantra while giving whole brown rice mixed with ghee, a representation of Self, to the fire. Performed as a group, the Agnihotra fire enhances group meditation, and deepens our connection to one another and nature.
