Unity Consciousness Workshop
Oct
20
11:00 AM11:00

Unity Consciousness Workshop

Join us for an extraordinary one-day retreat as we delve into the heart of the challenges that hold us back as a species, both individually and collectively.

In this personally empowering and mind-expanding workshop, you will learn the essential steps to overcoming the illusion of separation we experience and the cultural division we see in our world. We will then take it another step further and share with you a solution to the challenges of humanity through achieving social unity and our collective intelligence - the topic of our new book "Nature's Algorithm."

In this transformative experience, we will discuss the nature of human consciousness, why it holds us back from living in alignment with the natural world, and how we can reach Unity Consciousness in self and as a species.

Learn to develop what we call "Quantum Intelligence" - The intrinsic intelligence that exists in all things and an awareness of connection to a higher source and ever-present field of energy. By developing this intelligence, we are overcoming the self-limiting nature of our mind, cultural division, and the world of duality and fragmentation. This opens us to our inner guidance, higher purpose, and an infinite source of creativity, wholeness, and human potential.

In this workshop, we will cover such concepts as:

  • The nature of the human condition and how we can achieve wholeness.

  • The balance between masculine and feminine energy/Yin and Yang.

  • How to merge science and spirit in our awareness and our daily lives.

  • How to reach our higher purpose and infinite potential.

  • Using breathwork meditation to achieve Unity Consciousness on a daily basis.

We will also practice:

  • Mantra - Connecting with the source through our voice.

  • Transcendental Breathwork & Sound Journey Meditation - For opening the third eye, activating our energy body, and connecting with Unity Consciousness.

  • Energy Activating Yoga - For strengthening our Aura & connecting with our healing touch (reiki).

  • A Guided Sacred Cacao Ceremony 

This experience is designed to educate you in the highest levels of wisdom and bring you into deep states of consciousness that free us from division, remove traumas from the past, and accelerate our personal growth.

No experience is necessary. Please bring a mat, blanket, pen, and paper for notes.

If you are pregnant or experience epilepsy, heart issues, or extreme medical conditions, please let us know ahead of time.

Course: Cupping & GuaSha (14 CEu)
Sep
6
to Sep 8

Course: Cupping & GuaSha (14 CEu)

Learn how to use and utilize cupping and Gua Sha in your therapeutic sessions.

Gua Sha is a Traditional Chinese Medicine therapy that has been passed down through generations for over 3,000years. This modality is known throughout Asia and China, and has gained popularity in western culture. Through the use of round edge tools to create subcutaneous friction, It is practiced to aid in relieving muscular tension, restore proper circulation to the body, and help with  general detoxification.

Cupping therapy utilizes the inverse of pressure through the application of suction cups on to the body. This modality helps to free tight fascia, breakdown adhesion, increase circulation, and move stagnant chi. The cups can be placed on statically or dynamically. We will focus on using cups that utilize suction as opposed to fire cupping.
