Yogi Bhajan taught that at 11:30 am on 11/11/11 – the whole planet shifts into The Aquarian Age.
The number eleven represents transcendence and mastery and is the sound current of Infinity. Sound is one of the most powerful ways to heal and break free of our karmic chains of the past.

The Creative Self is a steady flow of authentic action and innovation that we bring to all the roles that we have to fulfill in our lives. When the Creative Self is strong, we are vibrant, clear, and embrace each of our choices and roles; we never lose our heart and clarity. All of us become distracted, absorbed and confused at times. We need a strong inner compass to help us know where we are. Meditation gives us that. There are seven stages of meditation and seven “gems”. The practice of the stages develops the Creative Self.
Workshop
The Fifth Gem – Elevation and Healing
Friday, October 28th, 7:00 pm – 9:30 pm
Every circumstance, task and person that we connect with forms an imprint and an entanglement with us. With a clear sense of our self and heart, we can transform each entanglement to a connection that frees and heals. To bring our creative self to fruition and success, we need to elevate from within our heart. With the insight of intuition and with vitality, we need to act. The meditations we will practice, open and connect the heart and third eye. The capacity to heal ourselves is a natural part of this stage of meditation.

“Mary is a truly outstanding teacher. As one of her students for the past 8 years, I can attest to this because of the profound benefits I have experienced. Mary is also a visionary who, through her writing, brings her spiritual teachings to a wider audience. She embodies the ancient wisdom teachings. This is reflected in her subtle and incredibly resilient way of teaching yoga and meditation. What one experiences in her classes is nothing less than life-changing. Indeed, in an era of massive change globally, Mary’s way of teaching is a much-needed and necessary path for surviving our difficult times. I commend Mary without reservation as an exceptional teacher.”

With: Jelena Duma – Founder – Bliss YogaThe seat of your inner power is your navel center. When your core is strong, your whole body is protected, your skeleton is supported and your spine is sheltered. On a mental level, your self-esteem, self-assurance and self-reliance become stronger. Your projection improves and you gain a magnetic personality. According to Yoga scriptures, Yogi becomes master if he or she masters his or her navel.

with Leigh Bowen
A systematic method of inducing complete physical, mental and emotional relaxation by leading the awareness through many levels. On a deeper level it is a practice which alters the brain waves, taking you into the state between wakefulness and sleep. In this state, false belief patterns and habits that we have developed over time, begin to peel away, revealing a peaceful, joyous state of pure presence. Students will experience deep relaxation and relief from day-to-day stress, the development of one-pointed focus (a key to spiritual awakening), healing from painful emotions, such as fear, grief, and anger, and better quality of sleep. It is a practice that is suitable for both beginners and advanced practitioners.
