*Supplies you will need (not included): paper, ruler, pencil, compass and an eraser. Any colors you want to use: crayons, paints, watercolors, colored pencils. You can find the prescribed colors to finish your yantra in your Zine. 

This self-paced tutorial guides you through the ritual of drawing the Durga Yantra, from beginning to end. Because it’s a video tutorial you get to pause, rewind and review, as many times as you wish! Videos are set up so you can stop and rest, and never rush. The process of making a yantra is a Sadhana, a spiritual practice—best executed with time and reverence. 

As a way to keep connecting with Durga, you will also receive audio files with a story, a Warrior Ritual Nidra and one of Durga’s mantra to chant along to while you draw, color or paint.

In communal collaboration, we will explore what moving slowly means to us in a culture that wants us to rush, stay busy, and be “productive.” Sometimes our bodies desire a jog, wiggle, or dance, and at other times our body asks us to slow down, sit down, and take a nap; for many reasons, we dismiss the latter. This workshop will incorporate rituals and practices to wind down, engage with the dream space, and honor the liminal spectrum of rest.

We will creatively engage in:
• Restorative yoga
• Yoga Nidra
• Intuitive movement
• Breath awareness
• Relating to the social nervous system
• Sleep rituals and dream recall
• Welcoming the parts of us that resist the slow

This workshop is for any, and everyone…especially those who want to be in a supportive community, collectively unlearning the harmful patterns that push us as a culture towards stress and overwhelm. Our aim is to support each other in knowing and believing we are all worthy of rest.

In this fall course, participants will explore a creative path toward supporting and regulating the nervous system as we move into what often feels like a difficult, elated, and stressful time. Some people love the holiday season, while for others, it can bring up some intense emotions. In any case, many spaces and places we occupy or visit during this time exude the sensations of rush, pressure, overwhelm, and depletion in all their manifestations. 

For this reason, I invite you into the world of medicinal art, learning to support and nourish your nervous system and engage in rituals that help to release and ground the ups and downs. Together we will explore archetypal shapes, marks, and intuitive drawing as an outlet for our emotions. 

This course is for you if you want: 

• to be part of a communal practice during the holiday season 

• an outlet to release emotions that harbor during the holidays 

• to play with your boxed-up art supplies 

• to explore your inherent creative pulse 

• to play, bring joy to your life in a new way

• to end 2022 creatively

Imagination: Marks, Rites & Forms

Allowing ourselves to begin to relate and converse with the imagination can at first feel silly, awkward, and unnecessary. Nevertheless, there is also the sensation of freedom, curiosity, and boundlessness. With time and trust, the imagination becomes a supportive partner that helps us listen more deeply, create without judgment, see clearly, and express our fears and passions.

When we explore a new language or territory, we find unique and creative ways to relate, adapt, and communicate. Often there is some level of frustration if we get lost, or we can’t seem to express what’s in our hearts. Ultimately we learn something about ourselves and grow.

In this series, we will begin by exploring the archetypes of marks, rites, and forms. 
We will ease our way into the creative conversation using simple tools and materials, observing nature, engaging with creative community, sharing, and being witnessed. We will remain open to the oracle of creativity and what it has to offer. 

Week 1: Imagination Initiation 
Week 2: Marks + Mistakes 
Week 3: Rites + Right 
Week 4: Forms + Formless 

Sessions will include a centering practice varying from meditation, pranayama, yoga nidra, movement, and the like. Then we will enter into a creative ritual practice (art-making) and end each session by sharing and witnessing. Participants will receive optional ways to engage while outside of class and small daily practices to continue the conversation with creativity and their relationship with imagination. 

DATES:  Sept 27, October 4, 11, 18

Hosted by Kule Yoga & Ayurveda

To begin a relationship with the Wisdom Goddesses is to receive both inspiration and an invitation to awaken the Self’s deep mysteries. This workshop will explore East Indian Goddesses Lakshmi, Durga, and Saraswati through their mythologies, iconography, mantra, and yantra.

Lakshmi is the fullness of benevolence. She is the archetypal image of abundance, wealth, prosperity, and ojas and the balanced traits of Kapha (earth & water elements). She shares the wisdom of beauty, self-care, and gratitude.

Durga is the ambassador of invincible courage who skillfully guides us towards our own wellspring of strength through awareness and action. She is the embodiment of a divine warrior and holds the attributes of tejas and the balanced traits of Pitta (water and fire elements).

Saraswati is the ruler of the chakras, speech, and creative flow. She encourages authentic articulation, adaptability, and surrender. With her support, our eyes develop creative vision. She provides the essence of prana and is the balanced traits of Vata (air and ether).

Participants will:

• Learn the attributes of each of the three Wisdom Goddesses

• Explore building an altar for each of the Goddesses

• Explore the practices of self care, creativity and devotion to enrich or begin an existing devotional practice.

• Resting practices for the Goddess within.

Nightmares arrive in a variety of ways; some are scary, disturbing, or remind one of a troubling time. In essence, nightmares or night terrors allow us to look at the hidden unconscious--the shadow. In this course, we will work to create a supportive container to acknowledge and bring forward the wisdom of Nightmares and reoccurring night terrors.

This course will include practices to engage with the shadow images, figures, or patterns found in nightmares of any kind. Those wanting to participate in this course are required to have taken the Dreams: Awakening Soul prior to this class and have approximately one-months worth of consecutive dream journaling.

The numinous (god, goddess, and presence of the divine) is revered, adored, and worshiped worldwide. In this 9 week course, we summon various embodiments of the numinous—through the different shades of emotions: love, anger, joy, disgust, wonder, sadness, peace, fear, & courage. We invite curiosity, respect, and honor as we move into a relationship with these emotions.

Participants will inquire about their individual mythologies and relationship to emotions. We will discover what feelings we resist and which move towards fluidly, allowing oneself to explore the circular nature of emotion through movement, writing, drawing, song, contemplation, and rest.
