SUMMARY:Yantra Painting Workshop
DESCRIPTION:IN PERSON OR ONLINEOnline registrants will receive a Zoom link an hour before class. \nA yantra is a powerful meditation tool\, both through the process—plotting the mathematical structure and systematically painting it—and as a symbol of the mantra it represents. It is a manifestation of the shakti (or power) of the mantra. Meditate on the central point of the finished yantra and feel it for yourself. You have brought the yantra to life. \nDr. Robert Svoboda has said\, “Creativity showers blessings on us\, on humankind\, and on the cosmos\, for the more we encourage creativity in ourselves\, the more creative the universe itself becomes.” \nElevate your consciousness by connecting to the Divine\, the universal cosmology. \nWe begin with the Ganesha yantra\, pictured above\, carefully drawing the sacred geometry. If you have completed a Ganesha Yantra\, you are welcome to work on a planet yantra. Each planet has a mantra and yantra and very specific energy. Participants work at their own pace. No experience necessary. If you join online\, a series of screen-share diagrams will be shown to clarify each instruction. Work at your own pace. \nMaterials will be provided for onsite guests. \nIf joining online\, please have these materials ready:Paper at least 12 x 12″ (ideally cold press watercolor paper)Compass (essential to draw circles!)Straight edge with metric measurementsPencilEraserPaints (gouache is ideal) or colored pencils \n. . . \nThe instructor\, Swami Sivasankariananda\, was trained by the late Pieter Weltevrede\, who was a student of Harish Johari. \n. . . \nRegister\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *Email *Phone *How did you hear about us? *Yantra Painting *Yantra Painting Workshop - $45.00Yantra Painting Workshop (sliding scale) - $35.00I will attend: *in persononline		\n			you attend: Email\n			\n		\n		Stripe Credit Card *Submit

SUMMARY:Forgiveness Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, December 6  •  2:00–4:00pm \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nIN PERSON or ONLINEOnline registrants will receive a Zoom link at least an hour before the workshop. \n\n\nWith Swami Sivasankariananda\, C-IAYT \nThe essence of forgiveness is the ability to be resilient when things don’t go our way. We object to the way life is and try to substitute the way we want it to be. Then we get upset that our substitution doesn’t take. Be at peace with what is. Give the next moment a chance. \nWe will look at what forgiveness is and what forgiveness is not—according to Fred Luskin\, PhD’s excellent book Forgive for Good. Examples from other people often open up some insight into our own stuckness. Perhaps you can reframe and prepare to release a stubborn story you have been telling yourself… Make space for a more authentic and beautiful you. \n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLastPhone *Email *Forgiveness Workshop *Forgiveness Workshop - $30.00Forgiveness Workshop (sliding scale) - $20.00		\n			attend: make you\n			\n		\n		How would you like to attend: *In personOnlineWould you like to make an additional donation?Total$0.00Stripe Credit Card *Submit
