Raga Cycle - Michael Stirling

Broaden your understanding and awareness of the elements of North Indian Classical Music, Raga & Tala, to take advantage of the Raga Cycle, the relationship between Raga and the time of day. Students will sing Ragas associated to the different times of day, from morning until night. The class will be accompanied by tambura, the essential drone instrument, and tabla, a set of 2 small hand drums used in North Indian classical music.

Michael Stirling began the study of North Indian (Hindustani) classical vocal music study (Khayal singing of the Kirana Gharana) with Pandit Pran Nath (Guruji) in 1983 and subsequently traveled with him to India and became his disciple. After Pandit Pran Nath’s death in 1996, Michael continued study and practice of this celestial art form with Guruji’s senior American student, the highly regarded composer / performer, Terry Riley. Mr. Stirling has accompanied Pandit Pran Nath and Mr. Riley in classes and concerts in America (at the Rothko Chapel in Houston, Texas) and in India (in New Delhi at the dhargha of Sufi Hazarat Inayat Khan and at Diggi Palace in Jaipur) as well as in California (Yoga Kula & Fairfax Mosque) and Oregon (Community Music Center, Marylhurst University). He has also studied and performed with Ustad Hafizullah Khan, Sri Karunamayee, Ustad Mashkoor Ali Khan, Lakshmi Shankar, the American bansuri artist Steve Gorn, tabla/esraj artist Benjy Wertheimer, dhrupad vocalists Uday Balwalker, the Gundecha Brothers and others.

Harmony in Motion Qigong - Sifu Paul 'Willow' Serenko

Qigong is an ancient Taoist art that involves the mind/intent (yi), the breath (zhong), and relaxed fluid movement to create a calm, natural balance of energy that can improve one’s health and spiritual well being. From a spiritual/psychological perspective qigong is a way to listen, enhance, and understand the flow of your internal energy (qi) and develop your spiritual energy (shen). The practitioner gains a deeper awareness of their connection and interaction with nature (both human nature and the earth). In this way qigong is both an active and passive form of meditation. This workshop will focus on Qigong, Taoist meditation, and Daoyin (a form of self energy message). In this setting we will emphasize the use of coordinated movement, breathing, and visualization in order for the individual to experience a deeper sense of center, connection, energy flow, and ultimate awareness. This workshop is ideal for all levels of participants from beginners to those more familiar with these arts.

Mr. Seronko began his studies of mind/body arts in 1972 with the Hatha yoga system developed by Yogiraj Sri Swami Satchidananda, an art he continues to study and perfect. In 1975 his interest in martial arts and eastern philosophy started. Paul has studied and taught various forms of Japanese, Okinawian, and Chinese martial arts for the past 35 years. In 1986 Mr. Seronko started his studies in the Taoist arts of T’ai Chi and Qigong. In 1988 he was accepted as a private pupil of Taiwanese T’ai Chi Master Wang Qui Jin (Henry Wang). For the past 23 years Paul has seriously pursued excellence in these mind/body/spirit arts under Master Wangs tutelage and personal studies. In 1993 Paul opened ‘Harmony in Motion T’ai Chi, Yoga, & Qigong School’ in Boise, Idaho. Since that time he has assisted hundreds of students in their pursuit of these arts for better health, increased awareness, and furthering their spiritual growth.

After years of study Paul has developed a synthesized art he named “Three Harmony Yoga” that is a flowing blend of Taoist, Hatha, and Tibetan tantric yoga which emphasizes the beauty and power of the breath with movement and postures to balance and open all the energy pathways in the body and connect the participant with the intrinsic energy within. He has shared his knowledge of these arts at workshops in the United States and Canada. Simply put “these arts are my Passion in Life”. Paul’s love of dance and playing in nature are other joy filled extensions of his arts.

Reiki Jam: Energizing the Heartweave of Beloved - Stacy Darby

From the beginning we have intuitively used our natural ability to soothe and to heal each other and ourselves through the power of present loving touch. In the 1800’s, Dr. Mikao Usui from Japan developed a system of healing based on this natural ability to connect to flows of energy available to us for the healing of self and other through touch. As Reiki made its journey to the rest of the world the system has adapted to time and place and has been created anew many times over again. Today there are many forms of Reiki taught and practiced around the globe. In it’s most basic form, Reiki simply asks that we be a compassionate, present & open vessel to receive and transmit the healing energy available to us to assist for the highest good of all open to receive.

We offer the Beloved Community an opportunity to come together in a safe space to share, practice and experience the art of giving and receiving through touch. All are welcome regardless of previous experience with Reiki or other healing touch modalities. The space created will allow for those who wish to receive to receive, those who wish to give to give, and those who wish to witness and soak up the loving vibrations to do so. May the harmonic vibrations that are created as we come together reach out to our community and the world at large!
• Sound healing vibrations welcome!
• Children of all ages welcome to participate in this creative play.
• Suggestions of things to bring: water, instruments, pillows, blankets, an open heart and mind and a willingness to explore the subtle yet profound mysteries of energy medicine through human touch. www.lightessence.org

I cocreated a nonfiction video prayerformance piece with Lynx in 2000 called Self Making Reality Shifting.

Transformational Festivals & The New Evolutionary Culture - Mazeguider

Transformational Festivals have become our generation's counter-culture, a space where human freedom and potential are being explored and realized for a few glorious days at a time. Formed around the core rituals of intentional, ecstatic or tribal dance, these festivals have become potent containers for deeply healing, cathartic, inspirational and life-affirming experiences, whose transformational effects and influence are rippling through our culture.

Transformational Festivals have become the nexus point for the harmonious merging of an Ancient-Future Culture. Reinvigorating the timeless lineage of festival, they are returning myth, ritual and the sacred into central places in our cultural experience. At the same time, they have become a confluence point for the cutting-edge creatives and content of our time. As Temporary Autonomous Zones--formed outside the weight and limitation of mainstream paradigms--transformational festivals have become real models for the New Paradigm of being and relating, one that points the way to our sustainable, thriving, evolved and glowing future.

Jeet-Kei Leung (aka dj Mazeguider) has been a key creator in the Vancouver, BC, tribal community since 1998. As an event organizer, community builder, cultural philosopher, music producer, DJ, workshop presenter, council facilitator, dancer and explorer, the Mazeguider shares his insights and conclusions from a decade-and-a-half of core involvement. He is currently writing a book, entitled "Dancing Together into The Great Shift: Transformational Festivals & The New Evolutionary Culture".

Sacred Geometry, Archetypal Astrology, and Dancing 2010's Cardinal Cross

Plato, the Neoplatonists, the Pythagoreans, and many mystery schools considered geometry and number as the most reduced and essential, and therefore the ideal, philosophical language. In this workshop, we will uncover the hidden link between sacred geometry and the 12 archetypes of the zodiac. We will explore how the One Source manifests itself through a sacred process of divine division from monad to multiplicity. The triangle, square, diamond, six-pointed star and other sacred geometries will be investigated in relation to the modes, qualities, elements, and signs. We will understand how this mystical process reflects the hermetic maxim of As Above, So Below, a concept which weaves astrology together with fractals, holography, and passages from Holy Scripture. Lastly, we will dance the energies of this Summer's transformational Cardinal Cross alignment in order to integrate the powerful energies occurring at this time.

I initially began my healing training in 2003 with courses in Zen Shaitsu, Thai massage, Reiki 1 and 2, and Qikung during my pilgrimage through Asia. I began my studies in Astrology shortly after returning, by investigating the Mayan Calendar and working with Mayan elders in Guatemala. My astrological training includes work in the schools of archetypal, Shamanic Astrology, soul-centered Evolutionary Astrology, and Relocation Astrology. I have taught workshops and lectured at various festivals throughout the United States, in the Amazon jungle, and along the west coast and my current home in the Denver/Boulder area of Colorado. In 2008 my work expanded to include Past Life Regression therapy and in 2009, I participated in ceremonies with Amazonian shamans and completed a 6 day Breathwork intensive with Rebirthing founder, Sondra Ray. In June of 2010, I am releasing my first book, The Codex of the Soul: Astrology As a Spiritual Practice, Vol. 1 The StArchetypal Theater.
