Peace Talk Circle with Grandmother Morningstar9:30 pm – 10:30 pm
A stand for peace. . .preparing for a time of change!
Native American, Myan, Tibetan and other prophecies designate December 21st the doorway opens to a 1,000 years of peace or a 1,000 years of chaos. Come sit with Grandmother Morningstar for this great change of peace. Learn to walk the walk.
“Both the Hopis and Mayans recognize that we are approaching the end of a World Age… In both cases, however, the Hopi and Mayan elders do not prophesy that everything will come to an end. Rather, this is a time of transition from one World Age into another. The message they give concerns our making a choice of how we enter the future ahead. Our moving through with either resistance or acceptance will determine whether the transition will happen with cataclysmic changes or gradual peace and tranquility. The same theme can be found reflected in the prophecies of many other Native American visionaries from Black Elk to Sun Bear.”— Joseph Robert Jochmans

She continues her studies with Jessica Goldberg and Eugene Poku of AcroYoga Montreal and received her AcroYoga Montreal teaching certification in 2010. She performs with Flight School Acrobatics, NewTang Acobatics, and teaches AcroYoga in Tucson, Arizona.André Newman has been dedicated to developing his knowledge and capability as both a Capoeira instructor and performance artist ongoing for the last 15 years. He was first introduced to Acro Yoga in 2009 by a few good friends in Tucson and has since undertaken more formalized training and teacher certification with Eugene and Jessie of Acro Yoga Montreal as well as participated in a number of workshops with Jason Magness and the Yoga Slackers. He views Acro Yoga as a natural outlet within which to further evolve his capacity to both perform and teach.
André has a particular interest in sharing the beauty and challenge of Acro Yoga with marginalized and at-risk youth. He is excited to learn more about how he might further integrate both Capoeira and the circus arts into his community outreach work. Axé!

Temple of Sound Nada Yoga Workshop Intensive with Bhagavan Das7:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Sign Up Now
“Teacher, performer, counter-cultural icon, lover of God: Bhagavan Das is as rich and manifold as Existence itself.”This profoundly transformative and deeply inspiring workshop is based on the ancient Tantric practice of Bhuta Shuddi – the purification and refinement of the chakras (or energy centers of the body) and the elements that relate to them through the vehicle of sound. A dynamic yogic practice that heals the body and awakens the Kundalini Shakti in the Sacred Body Temple. Bij or seed mantras are used as well as other specific devotional chants to the deities ruling the domain of each corresponding chakra. Guided visualization is also used in correlation with these bij mantras and chants to enliven and clarify the specific energies that employ the workings of each chakra.
SCHEDULE:
Thursday – Satsang 7-9p (with question and answer)
Friday – Asana Practice 9:30-11:00a / Workshop 12-7p (lunch break from 2-4p)
Saturday – Asana Practice 9:30a- 11:30a / Workshop 2-5p (dinner break 5-7p) / Kirtan 7-10p
Sunday – Asana Practice 9:30-11:00a / Workshop 12-7p (lunch break 2-4p)Cost: $395 pre-register / $425 at the door
*Kirtan is included
**Daily Asana Practices led by Sid McNairy are limited to the first 75 participants to registerAbout Bhagavan Das:
Bhagavan Das is one of the last living cultural icons of the 60′s. As Ram Das’s mentor (author of Be Here Now) he ushered in the New Age Spiritual Movement being the first Kirtan Artist in America. His groundbreaking album “Ah” (1971) produced by Jimmi Hendrix’s manager Michael Jeffrey’s was the first World Music album from Electric Ladyland. Bhagavan Das has also toured with Allen Ginsberg, opened for the Grateful Dead and sang with Bob Dylan. Bhagavan Das’s rare and sacred offering to this world is like a singing open heart heralding the Guru’s Grace through the vehicle of Sound.
