Join us this Sunday from 1-3 pm as Leaflin leads you through a Pranayama, Mantras, and Meditation workshop. In this workshop we will:
~ discover the meanings of the words “pranayama” & “mantra”, what these techniques are and how they can assist in meditation
~ explore what meditation is and why it is an essential practice
~ learn simple and potent practices that can be used daily to establish a foundation Even modern science says it’s true – Meditation is good for you! Nevertheless, for many modern yogis the idea of meditation and sanskrit words like “pranayama” and “mantra” conjure notions of ancient yogis in mountain caves or monks in robes, or may seem appealing but ultimately elusive and reserved for yoga teachers and the “super-spiritual”. This event will illuminate these concepts and offer powerful tools that any willing human can use to facilitate (and feel the benefits of!) a meditative mindset – whether in a cave or in a corner of the living room; in monk robes, yoga pants or pajamas.
It’s that wonderful time of year!

On their journey, the two meet a sinister snake named Kaa, a herd of elephants and a giant bear named Baloo, who teaches them the swingin’ musical rhythms of the jungle. After surviving a dangerous encounter with a band of monkeys led by King Louie, Mowgli and Bagheera are forced to run for their lives. When Shere Khan returns, our heroes must rally their fellow animals into battle and restore peace throughout the jungle. A live, one-act stage production.

Enter into the Rites of Spring with us to celebrate the Equinox and the Cycle of Newness. In this Sacred Equinox Sound ATUNEment, immerse into the indigenous, purifying tones of Sacred Voice, Tibetan and crystal bowls, tank drums, and the exquisite frequencies of gongs. We create a Human Mandala of Sacred Sound and chant the ancient sacred seed syllables of the chakras and connect them deeply within us through mudras. We dance into Newness through ecstatic movement, and end the evening in joy, sharing and copious amounts of chocolate.
We will be seated in a star configuration and once again we will be offering the Inner Mandala Healing Circle and the Outer Mandala general seating. The Inner Mandala Healing Circle is near the bowls and gongs, where you will receive individual Sacred Sound with specialty tuning forks, crystal pyramids and vocal tunings.
VERY IMPORTANT: We will be laying on a hard dance floor. PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN MATS, CUSHIONING and BLANKETS. It is important that you are comfortable to get the most out of this experience. There are very few mats available and NO cushions or blankets on-site.
