The Satori Experience
MEDITATION
Quieting the mind is the very first step to expanding your inner happiness. Through various techniques we find that we are able to quiet the mind and find moments of satori within the gap between our thoughts. Meditation is an excellent tool to ground and re-center ourselves. Whether undertaken first thing upon awakening, or settling in before rest at night, quieting the mind is vital for us to be able to open the tap that allows happiness to flow from within.
SOUND
Sound is the very basis of life. It begins with a heartbeat, giving rhythm to the stillness. We hear it not only with our ears, but feel it deep within. Music is the language of our souls. Sound is a celebration - make a joyful noise, the passage goes. The sounds of laughter, of love, of joy, penetrate our consciousness and raises our vibrational energy. Through sound we come together to create and hold a space for movement, meditation and growth.
MOVEMENT
Movement is lubrication for your body. It is medicine for your mind and spirit. Morning movement energizes and awaken the body. Throughout the day movement restores and reignites us. We connect our mind to our body through movement practices like yoga. Using our breath to set the pace. Dance is a way to celebrate and honor your body. Movement is self expression, a manifestation of the rhythm of sound as it stirs our soul and lifts us into a more aware self.
PERSONAL GROWTH
Take yourself on a journey that reconnects you with spirit and gives you space for expansion within your own self-acceptance. Life is a continuous path of self-discovery and acceptance. It requires that you care for yourself emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually. We are a global tribe and our vision is to connect seekers from around the world to share unforgettable moments and simply enjoy life together.
