SHIFT

A 3-part transformational journey
… from desperation to inspiration

Starting in January 2009, we are presenting a three part series we call the SHIFT.  We are recognizing that humanity is in the midst of an evolutionary, global and Personal transformation we call the SHIFT.  We see these changes, as necessary and positive on a large scale.  We also see that our awareness in our approach and attitude toward these changes can hold resistance or harmony…difficulty or flow.

Our gatherings will offer specific tools to stay centered and empowered as we accept both the outward and inward journey, incorporating ceremony, breath and meditation.  With these building blocks in place, we will journey further into AHA Awakenings, strengthening our authentic connections with ourselves, with others, and with nature.  In completion, we will learn to draw out from our weekend, tools for application to use in our everyday life.

Celebrate Life offers journeys of awareness and help in stabilizing and energizing joy and inspiration during these times of global and personal Shifts (in consciousness).

Starting in February 2009, we are presenting a 3 part series to come together in these times, creating soulful journeys to elevate the spirit while keeping inspiration and Joy alive.   Each gathering will offer specific tools to stay centered and empower aliveness, starting with an inward journey incorporating ceremony, breath and meditation.  

We will play in 4 areas exploring a holistic approach to strengthen our inner core: 

Nature adventures focusing on natural highs while challenging automatic thoughts,
Body listening by creating awareness through conscious breath and movement
Spirit mind presence through alone time and mindful practices to expand consciousness to our inner and outer world
Sacred ceremony where the practice of expressing respect and honoring becomes a way of life for every gesture made with awareness and gratitude

In our first day together, we are creating sacred space, strengthening inner and outer connections with oneself, others and nature through meditation, movement and breathwork.

During the following three-day journey, we will learn to connect within for comfort, stability, and guidance while befriending the body voice.  We will be opening each day with ceremony, breathing into the core as we dance while engaging the gifts of the elemental world through the body, setting intentions and renewing the fountain of Love within.  

For the final day of our series we will gather to assist one another in creating action steps to draw out and transfer these core concepts into our daily lives.  Through a special personal commitment ceremony we will strengthen accountability and each other’s personalized action plan to thrive in empowering aliveness. This powerful renewal is followed by setting up personal coaching and a plan for supporting each other.

First Session

Inward Journeys: Creating Sacred Space
ceremony, breath and meditation.

In this first session of a series we will learn the art of creating sacred space for ceremony and practice of a Hawaiian Shamanic traditional meditation in motion.  This journey is truly a delightful way of engaging, merging with and enjoying the gifts of the elemental world through the body.  This Aloha ceremony teaches us to call in the power of the sun, wind, water, earth, plant and animal spirits as our allies and friends.  We will learn the power of the positive in creating and manifesting what you want in life.   This process will become the foundation from which our series will build upon.

Second Session
3 day 2 night

Aha Awakenings

For three days we will explore deeper journeys into the realms beneath the surface.  Letting Nature open our doors.  We are looking into the archetype and myth on the IN-side.  We are accessing the soul song, learning to listen and hear the inner voice. We are planting seeds, playing…aligning and drinking in Earth medicine.   For three days we will be gaining access to the foundation and strength within; uncovering the true personal supporting blueprint, through experiential challenge and play.  Gathering on our first day in the marina to let go of the concrete jungle and kayak earth’s rhythms to learn how to be in the flow.  We then drive up to the Ojai Foundation to walk slower, breathe deeper and to turn inward as we sit in council around a fire to speak from the heart.  Morning ceremony and meditation in motion will help us set intentions for what we want to manifest as we expand our comfort zones in game-like challenges throughout the day.  Evening becomes a celebration and full expression of our accomplishments as we share stories, sing, dance and drum together as one beat.  Day three we move inward and in the stillness find the action steps to move forward.     

Third Session

Aha Living / Lifting our lives to their fullest potential
Wellness: Renewing the Fountain Within

Our journey continues by pulling the learning objectives together, checking in with self-care, self talk, freeing up limiting beliefs, applying breath, meditation and celebration in life.   We will engage in up leveling, empowerment and awareness games while setting goals and intentions, creating thresholds, action steps.  Putting new tools into action and creating support systems to sustain our momentum to greatness.
