  • Tuesday mornings at 8am ET, the next cycle begins 3/31 and is open for registration

    Donation-based registration for this group is in one month increments. Our theme for March/April is: Balancing the Nadis and So’ham mantra

    Tantric Meditation is structured practice, that uses a variety of breath and visualization techniques to enliven Prana within the subtle body. Over time our dedicated practice develops Shakti— the creative force of vital energy with creates charisma, magnetism, fortitude, and inner peace.

    This weekly meditation practice begins with pranayama and closes with observing the mindspace (Chittakash). Each week may include a combination of breath awareness, Kriya, visualization, mantra, and other yogic techniques, and the overall flow of the month will incorporate a theme so that participants can build their practice. All are welcome! The practice will be recorded for all who register.

  • Monthly on Thursday at 6pm ET and Sunday at 4pm, virtual with replay

    Next class is 3/26, our theme for March is Sacred Portals in the Subtle Body

    Yoga Nidra is a meditative technique, practiced lying down in Savasana, allowing awareness to move through the layers of the being. This practice often leads to deep rest and relaxation, and can provide a much needed respite from our culture of “doing.”‍ ‍

    Yoga Nidra can be approached as a standlalone meditation practice or Sadhana, as well as a preparation for advanced meditation techniques, and allows the benefits of an asana practice to be fully integrated. By learning how to move through a systematic relaxation process, we develop deeper awareness of the subtle body and the mind.

    This virtual group meets twice per month and offers a unique, eight-stage Yoga Nidra, with an emphasis on community building, and includes time for sharing and questions.

    Participants will be invited to consider any intentions they wish to be amplified by the practice.

    This class meets over zoom, the practice will recorded and downloadable to all registrants .

  • 4 monthly circles starting Friday 3/20 at 4pm ET

    This series of four practice circles will introduce collaborative mediumship techniques to connect and commune with the spirits of plants, trees, flowers, animals, and the elements.  Communication qualities specific to plants, animals, and elements will be explored, as well as ways to bring the practice “into the wild.”

    Participants will learn how to establish a protective space, build energy, “blend,” and close the channel. In each circle gathering, participants will experience a guided mediumship practice while being supported by Reiki, Tibetan bowls, chimes, and therapeutic sound. Afterwards participants will be invited to journal, integrate, and share their experiences/messages in breakout rooms and group discussion.

  • 4 week series starts May 12 at 7pm ET, virtual with Replay

    This series will take the place of the Community Yoga Nidra practice from May 12 - June 2

    This series proposes that through connection with the deepest aspects of Self, one can access wisdom and inspiration that is both personal and beyond the personality. In order to awaken this inner muse, we must navigate the terrain of the subtle body to activate the flow state. Individual life experiences directly influence the subtle body, either enhancing inspiration or hindering expression — but it is also possible to consciously support the subtle body towards flow.

    Using Yoga Nidra — a meditative technique based in Tantra for moving awareness through layers of the being — each session will guide participants to tune the subtle body, releasing emotional tension or creative blocks, and enhancing connection to a source of inspiration. Each week will present a unique Yoga Nidra practice to support creativity.

    The first meeting will include time to formulate an intention for the series, which will be amplified in the Yoga Nidra practices. There will be time after each practice to share experiences and questions, and to begin a creative process if desired. Suggestions will be provided for those who wish to expand this series into a Sādhanā (dedicated spiritual practice) for creativity.
