Greetings Friends & Yogis,
Greg and I are excited to lead the Full Moon Mini Retreat this Friday, August 8th 6-9 PM at common Fence Point Hall.

This will be a relaxed evening of yoga, sacred sound, inspired teaching and personal reflection. If your body heart and inner being are calling for some attention, please join us and see what “come through” the Lion’s Gate!

Donation based sliding scale tickets ($30-$60) are available on
The Sacred Center Eventbrite page

I find it fascinating that this gathering falls under the ancient and auspicious “Lion’s Gate” portal. Here is a quote from original botanica.com but you can google and find lots of explanations.

“What is the Lion’s Gate Portal?

The Lion’s Gate Portal is a magical period when the Earth, Sirius, and the Sun in Leo align in the cosmos, creating a powerful burst of energy. Sirius, known as the “Dog Star,” is a beacon of light and wisdom. This alignment opens a gateway to higher energies, enhancing your intuition and helping you connect with the divine.

Every year, the Lion’s Gate Portal creates a beautiful alignment in the heavens. The Sun in Leo shines its brightest, symbolizing strength and courage. Sirius, the spiritual sun, rises to meet the Sun in the sky, creating a bridge to higher realms.

This powerful alignment opens the door to new dimensions of energy, inviting you to step through and embrace your destiny.

This cosmic alignment is a time for transformation and renewal. As the energies align, they open a portal to higher realms, offering you the chance to shed old patterns and step into your true potential.

It’s a moment when the universe supports your dreams, helping you manifest your deepest desires and embrace your purpose.”
