Meditation with Matthew Smith
Meditation is a discipline that calms the mind and awakens the heart.
Different cultures throughout history have developed a myriad of forms and
techniques. This workshop will create a space where all practitioners
will be welcome to come and sit together in the beauty and silence of
nature. This is also a great opportunity for those who are curious about
meditation but have never had the chance to experience this simple and
transformative practice firsthand. Brief instruction will be given at the
beginning and after we sit, there will be an open discussion on
incorporating a meditation practice into daily life.
Matthew Smith has been studying and practicing meditation for more than a
decade and has received teachings from the Dalai Lama, Thich Nhat Hanh,
Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan, Ram Dass, Roshi Bernie Glassman and Roshi Seisen
Saunders.

Poetic Synergetics with Audette Sophia

self-expression and leads us into the fertile territory of collaborative
collective storytelling. It provides a safe and playful environment to
experiment with the power and possibilities of synergy...with a poetic
flavor. Playfully accessible for beginners and advanced wordsmiths. Come
add your voice to the weave and leave full to bursting with inspiration...

Tai Chi with Pod
Bring in the morning with a breath of fresh air, and let's cultivate our
Chi energy by moving like the ocean in a most fluid way. Tai Chi Chuan is
a relaxing, slow moving meditation mixed with QiGong that has been

years. We will have a nice blend of stretching, Yang Style Tai Chi Chu'an
and QiGong. A guarantee to recharge, revitalize, replenish, and catapult
us into a beautiful new day.
Contact Improvisation with Avo Soltes
Contact improvisation is the extemporaneous interaction between one or
more people which can include contact in both the physical and emotional
sense. it explores the connection of the mind and soul to the body, as
well as its relationship to others and the surrounding space. Awareness of
one’s self and others in the space, the sharing of weight (both giving and
accepting), counterbalance, and imagination are among the many varied
elements.
Awaken the Goddess with Ardas
Think back to a time before you can remember, when Wild Women joined in
communion to sing, dance, stretch, breathe and be. Let your true Goddess
shine as you are led through a series of dance and yoga based exercises to

Monkey Chant with Gamelan X
Gamelan X works with the vocal interlocking rhythms and physicality of
Balinese Monkey Chant, or Kecak (pronounced KETjak). This guided chant
experience is about building Community energy and unity through the
interweaving of our voices. You will experience a noticeable increase of

great deal while sharing this time with new and renewed friends. Go
deeper into holding your own voice strongly while being conscious of the
voices of others in community.
Living our light, allowing our shadow with Jesse Lombardi
Once there is light there is shadow. Shadow defines light. We are all
aspiring to live a Spiritual life. By mere karma, our human life expresses
itself through the shadow. Many times we judge our shadow, and reprimand
ourselves for the need to work out this wounded shadow essence. This
workshop will clarify the truth, that they are one and the same. The
spirit can only experience it's human incarnation through the essence of
light and dark via the shadow. The workshop is a fusion of yoga, breath,
meditation, and dance movement, laced with creative empowerment teachings.
