Spiritual Studies:
Sustaining the Spiritual Heart, with Chystal Kubis
As an awakened tribe, we raise our antennas while breathing together but we sometimes lose momentum while adapting to a society filled with obstacles like traffic and difficult people at work. As the energy of our planet continues to shift into a new age, it is essential that we understand the spiritual heart in order to sustain it.
Together we will learn methods to embrace our roles as ‘luminaries of consciousness’ in all aspects of our lives, so that we may keep our compassionate heart open when it may want to close. This workshop will assist in keeping the fire of your spiritual heart lit as we courageously move forward in our lives.
Lucid Dreaming: The Key to Unlocking The Power of the Dreaming Mind, with Ed Tajchman
I was taking in the shapes of the clouds above me that I was falling away from, I turned in the air and looked down at the fast approaching ground below and then just stopped. I stopped and reappeared on top of the cliff that I had jumped from, using my willpower, focus and intention. The dreaming mind gives us rare access to the vast ocean that is our subconscious and beyond. In this workshop I will discuss how to identify dreams that contain remnants of daily life, fears and desires and how one can start to separate them out to create a new dreaming space. A space where you can be free to explore, or receive inspiration. It is fairly common for artists, writers, musicians, even mathematicians to cite their dreams as a major source of inspiration. We will explore these topics before moving on to Lucid dreaming. This is being aware that you are dreaming, allowing the power of your own conscious intentions to guide and form the dream. This is exciting because the limits that physics places on us in this world does not apply there. Flying, falling, teleporting, really the only limit is your imagination. To enter the lucid dream state one must take on a set of mental disciplines. A starting point to understanding and applying these disciplines in your own life will be discussed along with a guided visualization.
Session length: 1 hour
Tapping Back In, with Chrystal Kubis:
With the enormity of change happening currently in our lives and the world it can become a challenge to stay in a place of flow and trust. Through lively discussions and open sharing we tap into the powerful wisdom around us and within. Learn how to listen in layers for a boost in personalized problem solving and inspiration. Come to get quiet, slow down and tap back in.
