Personal Sadhana Rituals Workshop Series Jan 31- Feb 28 7-8:30pm $145
Building a personal spiritual ritual practice can feel overwhelming or beyond reach at times. Yet, we are never not creating rituals. Question is, what rituals are serving and which are harming? How do I want my life to FEEL?
Our Day takes the shape of our Morning, and our Life takes the shape of our Days.
Join experienced yoga teacher, Medicine Woman and LMT Connie Magee for a 5 week transformation via self-created morning ritual practices. Our morning practice is our beacon to the Unified Field of Consciousness, broadcasting our intention and willingness. Willingness to start our day in a conscious, devoted way. The beauty path returns to us in the unfolding of our day.
What is Sadhana? Yogapedia offers:
Sadhana (Sanskrit: साधन) is a Sanskrit term used to refer to a daily spiritual practice. Sadhana represents a disciplined surrendering of the ego, in which the practitioner uses tools such as asana (poses/movement), pranayama (breathwork), meditation and chanting on a daily basis.
Anything that is practiced with awareness, discipline and the intention of spiritual growth can be considered as sadhana, but it must be practiced alone and for the sake of the individual. As such, it does not need to be a physical activity; even daily self-study of yogic or spiritual scriptures is a form of sadhana.
Sadhana is also a means of forging a ritual connection with God or universal energy. It encourages the practitioner, known as the sadhaka, to use self-discipline in order to achieve power over the ego and maintain connection with universal oneness. With regular daily practice, the practitioner continually realigns his or her inner self, slowly progressing toward the very ultimate expression of consciousness known as samadhi.
During this 5 week workshop series, we will explore and test-drive different rituals & practices for including in one’s daily morning practice. Self-inquiry tools & self-witnessing to anchor it; and group sharing/processing/refinement each week. Each person’s Sadhana will be uniquely their own- no two are alike. Refine your rituals + process with the group, if you choose. But the practice is yours alone to embrace and refine every morning you wake.
By working as community within the workshop, we become allies, teachers and support for one another. But the ultimate “product” is your individual practice…One that will evolve, and serve you over time.
You will leave this course with a cohort of journeyers on the Path, where we can connect, reconnect and keep the spark of devotion alive during difficult times.
Connie guides us in doing and learning Personal Spiritual Rituals that will form the basis of your personal morning Sadhana. Connie offers Ritual Prescriptions, Ceremonies, Revocations, Breathwork, Movement Mantra and Plant Medicine components to each participant.
Each session, we also discuss and co-create rituals to be tested out at home. Keep what resonates, release what does not.
Each week we share our progress, inspiration as well as where we may feel stuck or resistant. Collaboratively, we refine the elements, or provide support through group Karma Kriya (cleansing practice).
Karma Kriya is a group experience whereby we cleanse the energy of the group, the individuals, and where ever else the energy exists in our local human experience.
In a 30-45 minute group healing container, fueled by prayer, ceremony, movement, ritual and sound healing, we offer a collectively personal issue for transformation, cleansing & alignment.
For example: We offer for transformation the Sense of Lack that all of us experience at a soul level, though the expression in each life is unique in form and flavor.
In the final session, we create a Personal Spiritual Manifesto that becomes the basis for our own ceremonial invocation and personal mantra.
At the end of the 5 Week Workshop (5 sessions), you will have developed a personal Sadhana home practice, learn how to work with ritual and ceremony, and expand your self-healing to your entire life.
Each class meets for 90 minutes. 5 Monday nights Jan 24- Feb 28 7-8:30pm $145 register at thecenterdowntown.com
