Being Your Own Soul Mate
Saturday, February 12th, 3:00pm-6:00pm
w/ Guru Jagat & Vanessa Kudrat in Los Angeles
Los Angeles, CA
Has the Valentine's Day partner pressures got your lower chakras tangled and your mind projecting about whether you do or do not have a "soul mate" in your life, or just even a mate for that matter? Come for an afternoon of INTIMACY with your own soul. We will be dancing a dance of knowing and recognizing our inherent soul mate relationship with God Consciousness, our Soul being the doorway and prism to this infinite experience.
Come for an afternoon of Sweet Release, about any fears or scarcity that you have around intimacy and love. Only in wholeness can we magnetize whole relationships into our lives. If you have a love relationship, come to rededicate your selves to the union of unique love & remember how we meet one another only in totality.
Wholeness will be the order of the day, each breath, each movement, each step, in the image and likeness of God.
Bring a journal & a pen.

'The Yoga of Awareness' w/ Vanessa Kudrat
Kundalini Yoga & Meditation is for everybody regardless of age, flexibility, or experience. But it is a most valuable tool for women to re-connect to their primal creative power, providing women a path to self-acceptance, empowerment and self-realization. As a part of this retreat we will practice specific techniques for mental clarity, physical stamina and spiritual awareness. According to the yogic tradition, the most precious hours of the day are before sunrise. To tap into the vast, natural reservoirs of vitality and radiance we will rise with the sun in the ambrosial hours to practice yoga & meditation.
'The Energetics of Food' w/ Aarona
How does the food you eat affect your mood and energy level throughout the day? What is the energetic difference between a fruit thatgrows high in a tree or a root vegetable that grows deep in the earth? In this interactive and informative workshop you will learn about the energetic qualities that different foods have and how it affects your overall health and mood. You will discover a more loving and nurturing relationship with food which is the foundation of authentic and continuous health. There will be an active chewing meditation to better understand the process of digestion, the messages we send to our bodies while we eat, and how to bring 'eating as ritual' back into your life. When we eat foods that bring our individual body balance, clarity, and proper nourishment we empower the internal voice - giving freedom to the body's needs.
'Earth Dance Ceremony' w/ Parashakti
Dancing with focused intention, the healing process begins. By releasing yourself of the strenuous tensions we encounter everyday, that is, by allowing yourself to be free in a space with similar people with similar intentions, the results are therapeutic. Beginning with breathwork, to loosen the body and mind, we allow the energy into our bodies in a calm manner. While blindfolded, breath is your closest ally. The more you surrender, the more you create space in yourself and, consequently, everyone around you. The dance is an organic meeting ground between you and yourself among a community of like-minded, forward-thinking individuals. By retreating into ourselves and strengthening what is most human, only then can we share with everyone else.
'Sensual Nutrition, Live Food Prep-Class' w/ Sahnti Devi
In this workshop we will understand the basics of Raw and Living foods. We will learn which foods are easiest to digest, are most awakening to the senses and provide the most nourishment while exploring simple techniques for delicious and highly nutritious meal preparation.
