Art of Life Workshop:
How to recognize Archetypal Patterns and Release Karmic Limitations. ("You are not who you think you Are")
Saturday and Sunday July 23 - 24, 12-6 pm
As part of the collective consciousness of humanity we experience life through various personas or archetypes. These personas are afflicted by karmic residue, unresolved memories, from this life and past, that keep us living in the wounded version of the archetype rather than the strength. For example a person living in a wounded Warrior archetype would be constantly on the lookout for attack and wrong doers rather than just being poised and able to rise to defense if need be. A person in a wounded Caretaker archetype would be constantly carrying others at the sacrifice of their own health and fullness of life.
Recognizing aspects of our psychology that has seemed so personal and hard to overcome simply as archetypes and really not personal, is one of the most liberating moments in spiritual psychology.
It brings us from separation of oneness, enhances spiritual liberation and cellular enlightenment.
By witnessing your experiences, choices, thoughts and feelings as expressions of the collective archetypal patterns of humanity, you are no longer limited by their imprint; in fact they become doorways to discovering untapped potential, compassion, and love.
This workshop introduces the archetypes, their strengths, fears and wounds, and offers energetic transmissions that will increase the frequency of light in your cells and providing Cellular Healing. This process will assist you in awakening your untapped potential and let go of fear based limitation.
As fear releases we become the Love that is our birthright and walk with ease and grace into our True Life Purpose. Through our healing we influence our environment and those who we come into contact with in a positive inspirational way.

Art of Life Workshop:
"Light Weaving" a new form of prayer
Tuesday July 12, 7-9 pm
Our Source is Light, weaved in many integrated patterns that create, the world of form and our experiences. Prayer is a longing to re-connect with this Source. To offer gratitude, devotion, to ask for insight, assistance and healing. Light Weaving is a technique that connects you to Universal energy to help deepen your relationship with the Source, unweave patterns of tensions or obstruction, weave new patterns of beauty and love, open energy lines so you can receive the blessings of Grace and open your intuition.
Light Weaving is a spiritual practice that can be used in any circumstance to bring you into harmony, insight, joy and love. With consistent practice this simple technique, that only takes a few minutes of the day, will assist you in moving closer to the Source of Love and let go of your identifications with suffering. It alleviates mental and emotional tensions and open you to higher realm guidance.
The Light Weaving technique is used as an integral part of Sananda Art of Life, karmic healings.

Chakra workshop: Becoming Cosmic Love
Saturday Nov. 27, 11am - 6pm
Explore the Chakras and discover the secrets of peace, health, self development, spiritual inspiration and transforming life patterns. This workshop will be an exploration of the chakras from a physical, emotional and spiritual perspective including yogic techniques to awaken and harmonize the chakras.
There are 7 primary Chakras. Each one of them governs an aspect of self develpment that is part of the blue print of our human experience. i.e. survival, relationship, self-esteem, love, expression, intuition, universal consciousness. When you view life as an expression of chakra evolution..... everything starts to make sense, all life experiences suddenly have meaning. This understanding becomes the spring board for deep healing, evolution of consciousness and letting go of past limitations.

All the others deities bow at the feet of Krisna and sit in Meditation on the Supreme Personality of the Godhead, Krisna. This mantra opens the heart to the nectar of Diviinity, humanity and all manifestation of nature.
