Sacred Self Astrology Workshop
Feb 15 all-day
Mount Inspiration Apparel

How do we tap into the inner union of the masculine and feminine within ourselves? Shamanic astrology offers a unique lens into this process by looking at the natal placement of the Moon, Mars, and Venus. This workshop is for anyone looking to gain greater insight into their personal path toward archetypal inner wholeness. In these three hours you will have such an understanding of your own inner union, that you will be able to confidently avoid “outsourcing” – or projecting your inner masculine or feminine onto partners, friends, family, and co-workers unconsciously. You will have the tools for more completeness, based on your own astrological placement.

With access to your own charts, we will work your individual natal placements followed by a movement/embodiment practice. We’ll vision into what the inner union between these archetypes might look like in your life. We will work as a community, sharing and holding each other accountable.

Mars and Venus, the masculine and feminine planetary bodies in the sky, will be JOINED in February & March! That means this is the PERFECT time for this workshop! Sign up today!

Yoga + Live Music w/ Tara + Hope
Feb 26 @ 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm
One World Brewing West

Yoga & Live Music w/ Tara & Hope

Wandering through this life we connect with the magic of the elements of nature. Through the earth, our breath, yoga and sweet music we ground deep in our roots. We return to our heart space. The air is wild, free and full of possibility. Water nourishes our souls while reminding us to go with the flow… We ignite the fire of passion and light an awakening within, becoming one with the elements and connecting under one sun with one voice. Join International Yoga Instructor Tara Eschenroeder (aka “Great Abiding Yoga”) and Guitarist/Singer/Songwriter Hope Griffin for a yoga flow with live music. May we align our breath to free movement and the rhythm of our hearts!

 

From a primal flow to the beat of finger tapping, to a gentle meditative dance to harmonics, to meditation to the croons of the guitar, to the transcendental hum of the voice of an angel, the rhythms of the music guide us as we connect with our own internal rhythms and sense of knowing.

 

Hope and Tara will take you on a journey of the senses. While drinking in the sacred sounds of the music, we take that the ability to listen and to feel even deeper within. We tap into that intuitive sense of knowing; how and when to move and when to be still. Allow yourself to reconnect to that sacred animal within, ultimately reminding us how to simply be both on and off of the yoga mat.
