Awakening The Divine Spark, Master Kim
Calling all healers, light-workers, the "called" and the curious who resonate with the idea of powerfully uplifting the vibration of all human beings, as well as your own personal vibration. In this two-hour experience you will have the rare opportunity to learn the Divine Spark IN. The Divine Spark IN is a beautiful invocation of breath, sound and hand movements sometimes described as cosmic sign language or sacred meditation in motion, performed to awaken the seed of the universe within us all. The Divine Spark IN came to this world just last summer, at a critical moment in earth’s evolution, to uplift the vibration of all human beings. Its vibration resonates with the great harmony of the universe. By performing the Divine Spark IN we can enhance our individual spiritual practices while simultaneously sending out powerful energy of love and light, helping to heal ourselves, humanity and our precious planet. |

SPIRIT TALK, Sunny Dawn Johnston
Join Sunny Dawn Johnston for an inspiring and motivating workshop as she connects with the Spirit realm and receives messages and intuitive guidance for YOUR everyday questions and concerns. Sunny will connect with angels, guides, departed loved ones and ancestors as she helps guide you through your questions by offering mini readings. All registrants will have the opportunity to ask one question each; although, based on time constraints, there is no guarantee that all participants will be selected for questions during this session. This will be like having a one-on-one session with Sunny, except you will have the added bonus of learning from others’ experiences and guidance as well. This is also an opportunity to receive SUPPORT. By offering a group experience, Sunny has found that connection oftentimes accelerates the healing process. |
Life is indeed moving at a rapid pace and that can be exciting or scary. You get to choose. Are you ready to release any sense of doubt and open up to receive the loving support of Spirit? Are you ready to get centered, grounded and begin moving forward?

The Great "Up-Wising," Steve Bhaerman
A New Political Movement to Bring Us Together While it may not appear to be so on the surface, we have a DEEPLY UNITED body politic -- a vast, vast majority of Americans believe our pay-to-play political system is corrupt and dysfunctional. However, because we have been divided into two warring political "tribes", we haven't been able to unify around the values we share in common -- truth, justice, transparency, equality. Consequently, we have been unable to hold our governance accountable. Until now. Thanks to the Internet, we can unite to improve reality on the "outernet." Author, humorist and political scientist Steve Bhaerman shares exciting breakthroughs in "transpartisan" engagement and activism that mainstream news hasn't covered. Steve, who is the co-author of Spontaneous Evolution (with Bruce Lipton) and Reuniting America (with Joseph McCormick) will show you how "oneness" is already impacting our national conversation, and how YOU can participate locally and globally. |

Journey into the Lotus of the Heart, Jeff Masters
The sages teach that meditation on the Lotus of the Heart can bring about the experience of inner healing and joyfulness (vishoka) as well as a state of inner luminosity (jyotismati). With our awareness centered in the Lotus of the Heart we experience fulfillment (bhoga) and ultimate freedom (apavarga). During this, the apex of Jeff’s sessions, participants will be led through a transformative, heart-centered practice incorporating asana, pranayama, kriya and finally a guided journey deep into the abode of the soul. By journeying into the depths of our own hearts we access a state of consciousness in which the individual soul and the divine are united in a common being - the epitome of Oneness. See you there!

Discovering Abundance Through Yin Yoga, Mae Hingtgen
If you ever feel that life is moving too fast and that it's difficult to slow down to appreciate your blessings, then this Yin Yoga practice is for you. This session is specifically designed to target the connective tissues of the knees, hips, spine and shoulders. After a brief discussion about the benefits of balancing a more rigorous physical practice with the stillness and relaxation of Yin, participants will be given the opportunity to explore each pose in this sequence. The pose will be held for 3-5 minutes as the connective tissue releases energy in the targeted areas. This physical expansion will be accompanied by the use of breath work, mantras, and a guided visualization. As the body begins to release, the practitioner will experience the benefits of a relaxed mind, open heart and grateful spirit. PRACTICE-BASED CLASS |

Yoga Nidra, Indu Arora
The sleep of awakening Take the pilgrimage to self, path to healing with me on the last day of the conference. We often take more than we give to our body and minds. Rest is as important as action. How many times have you paid attention to when you really need rest? Yoga Nidra is an ancient practice with incredible relevance in the modern world. With an excess of stress, discomforts and uneasiness we need a vehicle to connect deeply to our true nature, to peace, health, and self-awareness. This increased self-awareness helps us to remain detached and calm amidst the chaos of our daily lives. Yoga Nidra provides a path for rediscovery of our true nature and the many benefits that can be realized from its practice. The workshop is a combination od discussion and practice. Please bring unscented eye pillow, a prayer shawl, and rolled towel/blanket for neck support and refrain from wearing any essential oils or strong fragrances. PRACTICE-BASED CLASS |

The Embodiment of Oneness, Amoda Maa
How do we embody the oneness of our true nature that is glimpsed in moments of awakening? Amoda invites you to examine how inner division is the source of suffering — in your life and in the world — and supports you in coming home to rest in an undivided mind. In addition to talks from Amoda there will be time for questions and answers (inquiry) and silent sitting/guided meditation. |

Good Vibes: Using Sound & Vibration to Return to your Home Frequency, Betsy Rippentrop
It’s also well established in the yoga tradition that everything in the world is in a state of vibration, including your body. Each of have a natural vibration or what we might call our resonance or “home frequency”. When we are in a state of health, the body has good resonance. But if our vibration comes out of resonance we get disharmony or dis-ease. The goal of this class is to set up an environment in which you can return to your “home frequency” where you feel most balanced and clear. To guide you toward this home frequency we will use multiple tools from the yoga tradition: sound, mantra, mudra, asana, pranayama, and meditation. Class ends with a gong bath which is like a sound massage for the body and mind. The gong bath can help you drop into an effortless state of relaxation, rejuvenate the cells of the body, and help unblock stuck emotions. You will walk away grounded yet flying high.
