Everything is a paradise to the eye that knows how to see. The eye of eternity sees beyond the eye of time. And once it begins to awaken in us, it calls us inward—to a way of seeing and being that can no longer be extinguished. -Christina Donnell

🕸️ Morning Sadhana with Sue Steindorf and Ann Strickland
Saturday, April 18 • 9-11:45am
Yoga means union or to connect. In this sadhana we will be weaving together the heart opening practice of chanting, embodiment of asana, peace of yoga nidra, cleansing of pranayama and the power of meditation. Individually, these practices are potent- and when practiced together, they deepen your experience and pave the way for the profound feeling of unity that is the essence of yoga.

Tapas literally means “heat” but is often translated as “self-discipline” or “transformation”. When life delivers times of crisis, we’re given an opportunity to let what might cause a breakdown instead be an invitation to break open.

Sadhana (last month’s invitation, which is discipline practice) prepares our body, heart and mind for these challenging times. Through the practice of tapas, we cultivate our capacity to stay in the fire and through this process we burn away the limiting beliefs—the stories that keep us from knowing who we really are.

To fully engage with the power of tapas we need to ask ourselves:

What are we practicing for?
Are we using our practices to merely manage life's challenges?

Tapas asks us to turn toward and stay with the fires that arise in our lives until we become blessed by the very thing that has caused our suffering.

Your body is not a vehicle carrying you through the day.
It is the place where life is happening.
Feel the earth turning beneath your feet,
Not metaphorically—literally.
You are standing on something spinning through space.
Christina Donnell, Author

🐚 An Evening of Journeying with Will Whitesmith
Friday, April 10 • 6:30-9:30pm
A Shaman is someone who has a foot in many worlds, the one we see and the other worlds that are ever present but invisible to our ordinary consciousness. Their role is to help shift our consciousness and guide us through these worlds, where we can meet ancestors, spirit helpers and nature guides. Experience universal connection, deep healing, and a reunion with your true self.
