Active vocal sound healing is when you soften your throat, connect your throat to your heart, and activate your voice to become a tool for clearing & strengthening your spirit and body. You will be guided in how to use your voice to clear pain & lower-frequency emotions, and claim yourself as the source of unconditional love.

Adventures in Consciousness with Ariana - August

“Adventures in Consciousness with Ariana” is a monthly event without structure or outline. In light of the new energies, you can't plan on anything, you have to be in the NOW. 

We will gather, connect and feel into the unified energy field of the group and the collective. The focus will be on activating the multidimensional mind and strengthening the “feeling muscle”. This is something new for all of us. How do you communicate with the unseen and undefined? That which is always moving, changing, shifting frequency? How do you translate THAT into human words? Do you need to? Can you express it in another way? 

Let’s find out!

These events could be referred to as the “Multidimensional Playground”, where we explore the heart space as the entry point to the inner worlds of infinite possibilities, where there’s no limit to what we can manifest, CO-CREATE, birth, experience, encounter and play with.

Through guided meditation and energy exercises we will explore a wide variety of topics relevant to the Journey of Awakening:

Unified Energy Fields
Multidimensional Self & Multidimensional Communication
Bilocation and Interdimensional Travel
DNA Activation, Light Body, Merkaba
Portals, Gateways, Gridwork
Healing, Self-healing, Rejuvenation
Ascension and Embodiment of the True Self
Taos City of Light

We are all awakening and beginning to REMEMBER that we are multidimensional beings. As we are all very unique in our genetic design and star heritage, we will empower and inspire each other to bring out the inherent skills hidden in our subconscious.

The first event is scheduled for Wednesday, May 16th at 4 PM, after that we meet every second Saturday of the month.

By donation.

LIVE MUSIC - the Second Wind Endeavor

Saturday July 28th, 6-9pm Playing a mix of R&B, Blues, Old Time, Folk & Latin Tunes.

The Second Wind Endeavor

n. The act by which one hopes or attempts to bring about the renewal of energy or commitment; the bid to prompt the rebirth of the gusto.

We are a musical project powered by the brains and hearts and hands and feet of we, and really, of you, too. With Michael Virga on guitar and lead vocals, Evan Sanchez on drums and cajon, Isaiah Kortright on bass and everything else, Rose Dragoo on viola and vocals, and Jesse Reist on banjo and cello, TSWE brings us together from far-flung locales and a wide variety of musical backgrounds to become a whole that is greater than the sum of it’s parts. For now, we are primarily founded on some amalgamation of folk, blues, old-time, funk, r&b,   and rock and roll. But that’s always evolving. Gotta be room to grow. Stay tuned. Imagination will save the world.

All ages welcome. Bring your family & friends.

Cassandra Bright - Vocals, Percussion & Harmonium
Cassandra began her yoga journey in 1998. Overwhelmed with life at the time...synchronistically, yoga arrived. Her first yoga experience (an Ashtanga Vinyasa class) kicked her butt, yet she wept with gratitude -- she’d found her way Home. Yoga instantly meant more than movement or exercise; it meant reconnecting with Self, with that part that was quietly awaiting her return. Drawing her deeper into yoga, and to yoga teaching training, she completed her first 200 hr YTT in Scottsdale in 1999, then journeyed to mother India in 2007 to experience Nithya Yoga, where she became Ordained as a Yogacharya and Ananda Spiritual Healer. Her study of Self and Yoga continue, recently completing an advanced training in Yoga & Ayurveda.The opening of her center, Gilbert Yoga in 2003, has allowed her and many others to share the gifts of yoga with thousands, and to initiate others into teaching as well.
Beginning with an asana based practice, she now finds her heart immersed in Bhakti Yoga, singing with her partner Prem Vidu in their band, The Band of Now. Together they hold space for heartfelt, soul-stirring yoga-medicine to flow.

Joined by Kelly Love - Vocals & Harmonium
Kelly Love is a beloved and highly valued kirtan response singer and has toured and played with kirtan artists near and far such as Girish, Larisa Stow & Johanna Beekman. She has been on stages of the biggest yoga and kirtan festivals, BhaktiFest and ShaktiFest, as well as many others. Kelly plays harmonium and adds her unique harmony vocals complementing her lead. When Kelly is not traveling the kirtan road, she shares her healing light through Thai Yoga Massage and Reiki. She is the founder of One Sacred Pearl providing lovingly crafted ritual tools for your holistic healing. 

Soothe Your Psoas - Trauma Informed Yoga - 3 week Series w/ Nita Maddux

Tuesdays 4:30-6pm, Beginning 6/12-6/26, By DONATION, attend all four or just drop in :)

What is trauma informed yoga? Well, honestly almost all hatha yoga is trauma informed.  It is the awareness that our body holds onto the tension and memories from past events. Through reworking the pattern of breathing, and releasing tension sometimes the past trauma is also able to release.  

 When we take the body out of patterns of flight or fight behavior something else happens. The executive functions of the brain become more available. These are the ability to look ahead, and see consequences of your actions, and make more rational decisions; the ability to remain in equilibrium while facing difficult, potentially triggering scenarios.

What do we do?  Through breath work practices, literally changing your patterns of breathing, stretching in specific shapes, and playfully changing old patterns of movement; we are able to break old patterns of thought and behavior. Many people experience deep relaxation and release from tension.

How effective is it? It is different for every person, how open are you to change?

I am offering this as a donation class. Come and try it, and decide if you want to pay after, and only pay what you can comfortably afford. This class will be adapted to who shows up; the level will vary depending on the participants. However, there is always opportunity for challenges for even the most experienced yogi. Further, this is an opportunity for teachers to learn a potentially new style.

Come, play, breathe, and learn to release.

Nita Maddux Bio:

Educational/ Certification Background: I have a degree in Fine Arts/ Dance from Boston University from 1990; I returned to school and received a degree in Physics from University of Montana in 2009.  I am a certified RYS 200 Iyengar instructor.  I took my yoga training at Maui Yoga Shala.  I further took a training in Ubud, Bali at Frog Lotus School in recovery yoga, also RYS 200 certified. I received both certifications in 2013. I have taken trainings from Elena Brower in Yoga Nidra, and from Deepak Chopra in embodied yoga. I have done two trainings with Desiree Rumbaugh.

Personal yogic philosophy:

I enjoy teaching to students at all levels. I am focused on teaching alignment, and taking the time to clearly describe the alignment elements in challenging postures.  I think that intelligent sequencing of postures is essential for allowing the practitioner to develop strength, spacial understanding, and to explore the emotional process triggered through a regular practice. I believe a regular yoga practice deepens our relationship to our physical, and subtle body. It therefore, allows the individual to awaken their own healing processes at the deepest level. I welcome the challenge, and love to research how to work with people with injuries or health challenges. Often those who think yoga is not for them, are the exact people who ought to practice. I believe in creating joyful, creative, intelligent flows. I believe each practice should be fun, engaging, and an intelligent conversation with your body. I am committed to taking my yoga off the mat, and offering donation or free classes. Further, I like to teach to senior groups, children’s groups, and would like to do further work with the criminal justice system. Yoga to me is an important service, and a great way to build community.

Blessings to you dear sisters. Hope to see you all soon.

Talk on Spirit Guides with Lindsay Mcgowan - FREE Event

Have you ever wondered about your team of Spirit Guides?

We are experiencing a huge transformation of consciousness on our planet.

One of the key realizations of this grand awakening is that we do not walk this Earth alone.  Each and every one of us is surrounded by a family of unconditionally loving Light Beings.  Every human comes in with their own unique team of Light Beings, whose sole contract is to help you evolve while you are here on Earth. They never leave your side.

Who are these magical beings and what is their intention?
How do you make conscious contact with them?
How do we use their guidance and unconditional love to assist
us in simplifying our lives?

In this talk we will discuss:
what a team looks like and how to begin to open to a
conscious dialogue.  We will explore the ways they are
allowed to assist us and why there are times they must stand
back and allow us to stumble.

Lindsay works with a Council of Light Beings with whom she has a Soul Contract to serve as their translator on the Earth plane. Through this Council she accesses Libraries of Light, Akashic Records, past lives, as well as the client’s Higher Self and specific spiritual guides to explore whatever issues a client might present.  Lindsay's work is the embodiment of three decades of spiritual training. For more information please visit her website www.lindsaymcgowen.com where you can also contact her via email: ayamcgowen@gmail.com
