Conscious relaxation is an ancient system perfect for modern times. First mentioned in the classical Indian text the Mahabharata as “yoga nidra,” conscious relaxation is clinically proven to reduce PTSD symptoms, ease pain, and cure insomnia. Learn how deeply resting the body and mind has the potential to heal and guide you to your highest Self. This workshop will consist of an informative slide show lecture explaining the “Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How” of yoga nidra followed by a deep practice. Conscious relaxation, or yoga nidra, is safe for all and can be practiced seated, lying down, and even standing. Understanding the history and structure of yoga nidra will inform your experience of conscious relaxation and deepen your connection to the timeless part of yourself.

This workshop will help you:

• Connect with your highest self
• Soothe the nervous system 
• Calm down the mind

with Anodea Judith
Saturday, February 27, 1:00 – 3:30 p.m. CST

What is life force energy? How do we increase or decrease it when necessary, and how do we manage it wisely? How does our life force flow through the chakras and what can we do to free up blockages?

Anodea Judith has been working with the chakras, psychology and the energy body for 45 years as a yoga teacher, somatic therapist, global workshop leader, and best-selling author. She calls the life force “charge” and has developed specific techniques for charging and discharging the chakras, with a keen sense of how this relates to our inner psychology. Once you learn these tools you can use them the rest of your life. When you understand energy in this way, you will see life with new eyes.

This workshop bridges theory and practice. It will include a lecture and presentation that will help you understand the nature of your life force, followed by instruction on simple practices you can do on your own to stay centered, balanced, and energized on each chakra level. No prior experience required, but a willingness to experience energy is a must!

These simple practices can facilitate healing, calm your anxiety, and generate energy, as well as put you more deeply in touch with yourself.

Saturday, February 6, 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. CST

"Not every cane is sugar-filled; not every low precedes a high; not every eye can truly see; not every ocean has its pearls." ~ Rumi (Divan Shams 563)

In his work, Rumi reminds us of how the spiritual quest can be filled with confusion, unknowns, and dangers, and points to the necessity of cultivating the art of discernment as a fundamental tool on this path. By accessing our heart’s innate wisdom, we can learn to discern between right and wrong, truth and error, and the absolute and the relative during this very short and precious life.

Topics include:

• Guided heart-centered meditations and contemplations
• The reading of Rumi's original poetry in Persian, followed by authentic English translations
• How to cultivate the art of discernment and make it a daily practice
• Discriminative wisdom
• Somatic practices for being in touch with your intuition
• Rich Q&R (questions and responses)
