EVENT DESCRIPTION: THE CHALLENGE
DEEP DARK INFECTION
There is a SHADOW which long has darkened many a page in eons of history books, a shadow of wars, and cruelty, and destruction of the earth, a shadow of exploitation, a SHADOW caused by the cleverness of the masculine unbridled by the wisdom of the Feminine; a shadow that now enters people where it infects both identity and View! This results in much deep pain and suffering at all levels and people have no idea where it is coming from, nor do they know that almost all the dark appetites/thoughts they mistake to be theirs are in fact belonging to this VIEW! As Practitioners of the Veda Mandala we see this more and more!
Here are some examples of the SHADOW and its Results! Remember, this is not about polarizing the situation into an ‘us-them’ scenario but always about fully owning and Unifying:
WE GROW OUR HEART BIG ENOUGH TO HOLD IT ALL!
Otherwise, any ‘fight against’ the SHADOW -is- the SHADOW!
SCHEDULE
The Schedule will most likely shift and morph as it seeks the perfect pattern for you. One thing that will not change is that this event is powerful yet playful; profound yet simple; serious yet serene; focused yet spacious; informative yet categorized; Spirit-centric yet very pragmatic; Inspiring yet confirming; loving yet disciplined; Traditional yet cutting edge; assertive yet harmonious.

YOUR GUIDES & HOSTS
WHO WE ARE
First of all, know who we are: clear kind compassionate insightful joyous positive well-trained Yogis, Vedic-centric Clinicians, Psychotherapists and healers with many decades of experience. We are offering this event because we are seeing a radical increase of ‘Shadow’ pathology in people: a simmering darkness, deep lingering doubt, sticky negativity, cutting defensiveness, relentless divisiveness in every form ego can muster, basically hot intense congestive debilitating inflammation that is moving people to digestive, metabolic, reproductive, neural, cognitive, spiritual, and true existential challenges. From an altruistic and informed place, we see simple and profound protocols to remedy much of this, and we want to gather with you to co-create the best path to lasting empowerment for all.

EVENT ESSENTIAL PRACTICES
ESSENTIAL PRACTICES
You will learn much and Remember more, Remember deep into your Wisdom! We have many tools from the Veda Mandala to draw from including:
Ayurveda herbal adaptogens and generating a strong nervous system
Yoga lunar nectar practices and solar tejas warrior practices
Bhuta Vidya the science of dealing with entities such as addiction
Darpana the yoga of relationship and using the stance of relationship to empower you
Mantra and Song healing with the four levels of speech and sound
Yatra the spiritual journey
Tantra the Tantric dive into the shadow generates sufficient ownership of one’s own ‘Darkness’. This enables the framing of the Light. This illumination allows for our innate balance to draw the polarities of one’s Light and Dark into the Singularity that Yoga is.

Transformation

(‘SHE’ in 16 Languages : Sodashi)
SUPPORT OTHERS
Please come and learn all the ways to empower yourself and others. You will leave here with more deep, positive joy and nectar in your heart! We are offering this event is out of activism and caring compassion. This Shadow will only get worse, deeper, more insidious, more pervasive, and the worst of all, MORE ACCEPTABLE! When the Shadow is accepted as the norm then “The Banality of Evil” sets in and that ‘Being’ who has then ‘society’ as a body is serious menace!
CELEBRATION of RECOGNITION
After recognition, this will also be a celebration into the light, a full light that includes the dark. Dance, song, and community with each other and exquisite nature enfolding us in beauty. This is about the cessation of gloom, reclaiming yourself and moving beyond the understanding of the problems of the past into the joy of living with the vision of the better future.
RELENTLESS EMPOWERMENT
This event is surely not to scare you about doomsday, it is about replacing fear with certainty; transforming anxiety into Vision; forging anger into bravery; replacing judgement with curiosity; morphing attachment into reverence; it is about the relentless empowerment of you for the benefit of all beings
