Then feeling energized, relaxed, peaceful and open we begin our journey into a transformational Kirtan (the practice of singing/chanting sacred mantras in call and response style).

If time remains we will join in more heart-opening practices, philosophy talks, deep relaxation, or…more Kirtan! We’ll let the feeling of the group decide.  This full day of blissful Yoga and Kirtan practices will be held in the beautiful, serene natural setting of the Lotus Studio. Held and accompanied by nature, we will join the Universe in joyous praise of life!

Chi/Prana/consciousness is the force, the glue that permeates creation as it permeates our being.  Chi Kung is an ancient Chinese internal training which allows us to access the universal life force and flow in this energy that is within and around us.

This workshop will explore and connect the different aspects of Chi, consciousness, spirituality and reality creation.  The use of Chi Kung and the Sensory practices create an ideal forum to build body/mind awareness, ground, activate and expand our personal energetic field.  

We will talk about the human energetic body as it relates to the Greater Reality, factors such as poor nutrition, unresolved emotional and life issue, trauma, etc. that block the flow of Chi, affecting our health and narrowing our Reality aperture. There will be a focus on the importance of breath and of opening our heart.

During that time, he was fortunate to meet and learn from healers who had a wide range of modalities that have influenced his own healing abilities. In 2001, he experienced some profound inner openings and had a powerful spiritual experience which completely altered the course of his life. He started to understand that healing was really about an inner transformation and about Qi. So he started sharing this potent message. After leaving American for left India, Hang has traveled to different parts of the world teaching Qi Gong as a path to healing. He is now based in Bali.

Yogic Philosophy: Exploring the Theories of Yogic View & Practice with DC Leiro (Shivananda)

Most modern forms of yoga focus solely on the physical practice to such an extent that the term “yoga” has almost become synonymous with breath, bending and stretching. But what is the real purpose and meaning behind the path of yoga?

Explore the ancient philosophies and guidelines of practice given by Sāṁkhya and the Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali, two of the six orthodox schools of Indian philosophy. Even though these philosophies are thousands of years old they are said to hold eternal principles to help all humans throughout the ages align to greater parts of nature and oneself.

Sāṁkhya gives us a holistic map of the universe, the process of physical manifestation as well as the consciousness that is the experiencer. The Yoga Sūtras gives us the ingredients that support our development through the Sāṁkhya map and resulting in mastery of one’s own mind and consciousness.

This practical introduction is applicable to a physical yoga practice daily life, No prior knowledge or experience of philosophy or yoga is needed.

What was clear, is the power...of combined energy, movement, voice and instruments...in creating deep, positive shifts within ourselves, for the good of humanity and our planet...phenomenal!” - Candace Meyer (Greenpeace Africa)

A 90 minute Deep Yin Practice, artistically woven and challenging followed by a 30 minute Yoga Nidra. Yin Yoga targets the connective tissues, such as the ligaments, bones, and even the joints of the body that normally are not exercised very much in a more active style of asana practice. Suitable for almost all levels of students, Yin Yoga is a perfect compliment to the dynamic and muscular (yang) styles of yoga that emphasize internal heat, and the lengthening and contracting of our muscles. Yin Yoga generally targets the connective tissues of the hips, pelvis, and lower spine. While initially this style of yoga can seem quite boring, passive, or soft, yin practice can be quite challenging due to the long duration of the poses. We can remain in the postures anywhere from one to twenty minutes! Yin and yang tissues respond quite differently to being exercised. You need to experience this to really know what Yin Yoga is all about. After you have experienced it, even just once, you will realize that you have been doing only half of the asana practice.

Cacao Ceremony & Elemental Ecstatic Dance with Levi Banner

July 15th / 7.30pm-9.30pm / IDR 200,000 

Cacao has been used as a sacred medicine for thousands of years. Known as the food of the gods, it provides a heart opening experience that will get you deeply in touch with your body and enliven your senses. We will drink a very special cacao sourced locally in Bali and mixed mindfully with a witchy blend of herbs and spices. The chocolate drink will be divine nectar for you to savor and enjoy. With the ceremonial space invoked and the cacao spirit with us: We dance!

Levi will guide you in an ecstatic dance journey through the 5 elements. You will shape-shift your body, moving in new ways, seeing new parts of yourself and remembering forgotten parts. During the dance there will only be body language and no spoken words - only the guidance of the facilitator and your free form movements and primal expression. You will go deep into the dance and lose the distractions of your mind, playfully releasing any stuck energy and embracing your natural essence. We are made of the elements so through the dance we embody the elements!

Once we have moved through the entire journey, we will come back together in circle to close the ceremonial container. We will share in community and togetherness, leaving you with a sense of beauty and fulfillment in your heart. Though cacao is not an aggressive plant medicine and our blend is quite delicious, it is still not required for you to drink the chocolate at all. You can come just to dance and experience the ceremony!

Please come with an open mind and prepare to open your heart!

Moving From Darkness to Light, From Sorrow to Joy, From Hopelessness to Conquest
So many of us can’t seem to find the love we seek as we struggle with past abuse, trauma, low self-esteem and a seeming inability to love ourselves. Relationships as well as justice, peace and contentment seem harder to find in this world where Truth, the great liberator, has become something to hide, and not to speak. As Michael Ellner said “Just look at us. Everything is backwards. Everything is upside down.”. And the time is now to act to honour yourself and Mother Earth’s needs.

So become your own hero and in this workshop learn:
•  Deeper reasons life on earth has become so difficult spiritually, emotionally and physically for all of us.
•  Why it’s essential to be your own hero if you want to be happy.
•  What a hero actually is?
•  The classic “Hero’s Journey” that every happy human being must complete, along with a study of Joseph Campbell’s famous work The Hero with a Thousand Faces.
•  Inspiring life stories of history’s greatest, but lesser known, heroes.
•  Yogic wisdom to move you beyond trauma and fear.

Satyatma  began his spiritual path with a spontaneous and extremely powerful Kundalini Awakening in 1995. Since then, he has been a student of Yoga, Eastern Philosophy, Meditation and Metaphysics and has shared his knowledge for over 16 years in one-on-one sessions, workshops and seminars throughout the United States, London, India and Central America. He is now based at  The Yoga Barn - Ubud.

Theobroma cacao is the food of the Gods. A historically-revered plant food which is now much overlooked and misunderstood. In more familiar terms it is known as chocolate. Levi’s Cacao Ceremonies combine the profound sacredness of ceremony with the equally profound deliciousness of arguably the most magical food on the planet. What’s not to like?

Using ceremonial-grade cacao, which makes even most raw chocolate taste ordinary, you’ll experience the unique heart explosions that only cacao can bring channeling the wisdom of cacao spirit for deep, transformative realization. Every Cacao Ceremony is a collaboration between the co-participants, facilitated and woven together by Levi.

Each one unfolds differently, although you can expect some or all of the following: yoga, meditation, singing, dancing, laughing, crying, hugging, and – undoubtedly - loving.

YOGA - MEDITATION - SATSANG
In the heart of every human being lies the universal questions: How can I be happy? How can I be free?
Join Tanya for a yoga and veda deepening workshop to explore the timeless teaching: 'you are the very happiness you seek'. Freedom is available here and now.

Start the day with a deliciously deep dive inward with a hatha yoga (postures) and pranayama (breathing) practice to energize, balance and relax the whole system. The practice will cultivate a sattwic state of consciousness; that is, one that is deeply present, calm, and receptive - a state that is highly conducive to spiritual insight. At this point, seamlessly and skillfully, Tanya will guide you through a deep contemplative meditation -- a journey into a profound process of revelation, where insight arises from within. Following a period of silence and stillness, Tanya will offer satsang (spiritual talk) rooted in in the teachings of Advaita Vedanta (a.k.a - Nonduality), to support the integration of insights, as well as offer context, orientation and practical tools for a fruitful journey forward.

It’s time! It’s timeless! Awaken to the immediate truth of who you are - already whole, already holy, already free.

Mobility is essentially about utilizing functional range of motion of your joints, ligaments, muscles, and fascia in an active expression. Whereas flexibility often uses a passive expression and external forces to get into certain shapes and poses, here we will focus more on the active functional range rather than the passive extremity of pushing and pulling.

This workshop is designed for your personal needs as a supplement to your daily movement practice.

It focuses on the eight major joints in the body and how to explore your range of motion, strengthening, and active mobility. This workshop will greatly increase your strength, balance and flexibility in a healthy and safe way to enrich your freedom of movement.

We will go through movement patterns, asana alignment, and break it down in a safe way for greater understanding of your own unique body and its capabilities.

Earth is a more magical place than our everyday lives make it seem.
All of us have had intuitive feelings about people or things and have noticed amazing synchronicities in our lives that we feel cannot simply be coincidences.

Others have actually begun exploring the meanings of these things and developing their own powers of intuition, as well as their abilities to feel and manipulate subtle energy.

This is a workshop for both groups of people.

• Learn what Intuitive Abilities actually are, where they come from, and how to distinguish between genuine Higher Insight and one’s own personal desires, feelings, and emotions.

• Principles and Techniques of Psychic Protection and How to Safely Navigate the Non-Physical World and Work with Energy.

• The various stages of psychic development - from feeling intuitive notions to understanding those feelings as possible Higher Guidance to identifying where these feelings and/or messages are coming from to learning to trust and follow them.

• This is a great chance to deepen your meditation practice, as the ability to meditate is key to developing psychic abilities.

• Kundalini is the bio-electric force in the human body that awakens higher consciousness. We will learn what the kundalini energy is and how it works.

• We will also practice various techniques for feeling and working with subtle energy and we will explore the spiritual benefits of understanding the magical non-physical world that pervades our everyday existence.

Every year, from mid-June to mid-July the PKB (Pesta Kesenian Bali or Bali Arts Festival) comes to the Werdi Budaya Art Center, Jalan Nusa Indah in East Denpasar. Nightly there are performances of both traditional and contemporary dance and music at a number of the six theatre venues here. During the day, beginning at 10:00 a.m. the handicraft and food stalls open, showcasing the best of each regency, with delights for everyone of every age. In the late morning rare forms of music and dance from all over the island are shown - a great time to see some great performances. 

In 1979, Bali's governor, the esteemed and loved Prof. Ida Bagus Mantera, opened the very first Bali Arts Festival on June 20th. He stated that “the Bali Arts Festival should take its place as the basic forum for the growth of our love of the arts.” As the arts are such an integral part of the culture, Prof. Mantera wanted to see them celebrated in a place that would be accessible to all. To promote this, most performances are free of charge to the public and those where tickets are necessary are sold at an affordable price to most people.

Each part of Bali has its unique art forms - the weaving of Sidemen, the jegog bamboo gamelan orchestra of Negara in West Bali and the genyek singing of Karangasem in the East. Most Balinese haven't seen all of these forms and this venue was created for both Balinese and visitors to Bali, to highlight the rich cultural heritage this tiny island has to offer. 

The festival begins with its Grand Parade on opening day, starting from the Bajra Sandhi Puputan field in Renon and ending at the Denpasar Art Centre. Each regency is represented with a gamelan orchestra and people dressed in their regional dress. Often tall, towering offerings are carried of the heads of colorfully dressed women, once again showing what diversity Bali has to offer. Balinese from all over the island come to watch this parade and it is televised on local TV. It's good idea to get to Renon early in order to get front row seat. Bring a hat and an umbrella as well as a camera.

At the Art Centre itself, exhibitions are set up in the two main halls. Competitions are held of food, costumes, offering making, and pop singing in the indoor Ksiranawa Theater. Performances are held in the huge outdoor Ardha Candra amphitheatre, the wantilan (a small, in the round traditional space), the tetaring Stage outside the Ardha Candra, the Ayodya stage in the old kecak arena in the northeast corner and in front of the exhibition hall by the river.

Some of the most exquisite performances are those done at the Wantilan and the outdoor stages in the evenings and those in the late morning. Here you often find forms, which are dying out, watched by only a handful of people but the spirit of the performance, can be quite moving.

“To Experience Emotional Healing, We Have to Get Underneath the Layers of Our Own Denial and Fear. Are You Ready to Speak Your Truth?”

Every child born on Earth is conditioned by his or her experiences, parents, and upbringing. All of us suffer pain, and most of us experience some form of actual trauma, at various points in our lives.

The challenge that every human being has is to heal him/herself from pains, traumas, and conditioning that negatively impact our lives and to learn from these experiences.  We want to “Keep the Wisdom and Release the Pain.”

Yoga Shows the Way. Many people do not realize that the term Yoga actually means “Union of the Soul with the Divine through Completely Controlling the Mind.” 

Far more than just physical exercises, Yoga is, in fact, the Highest Form of Psychology. 

“Yoga is a Discipline that Destroys All Sorrows.” - John Kimborough

In this workshop, you will learn:

·      What are the Emotional, Mental, and Other “Subtle Bodies”

·      How Pain and Trauma are Stored in the Human System and How They Can Be Released

·      Yoga Philosophy, Meditation, Visualization, and Breathing Techniques for Emotional Healing and Controlling Your Mind

·      The Yogic Definition of True Happiness and How to Achieve It:
 

“Genuine Healing Always Includes a Return to the True Self, which is the Real Source of Power and Only Source of Stable Happiness.”  -  Satyatma

Satyatma began his spiritual path with a spontaneous and extremely powerful Kundalini Awakening in 1995. Since then, he has been a student of Yoga, Eastern Philosophy, Meditation, and Metaphysics, and has shared his knowledge for over 16 years in one-on-one sessions, workshops, and seminars throughout the United States, London, India and Central America, and is now based at The Yoga Barn - Ubud.
 

“For Man, Mind is Cause of Bondage and Mind is the Cause of Liberation…” -  Amrita Bindhu Upanishad, Verse 2

This workshop is designed for your personal needs as a supplement to your daily movement practice. It focuses on the eight major joints in the body and how to explore your range of motion, strengthening, and active mobility. This workshop will greatly increase your strength, balance and flexibility in a healthy and safe way to enrich your freedom of movement.

FUNDRAISER DATE: Sunday 14 April, 2019 - no Sunday Kirtan TIME: 7:30pm to 8:30pm ClownCorps’ unique form of clowning and slapstick acrobatics will knock your socks off. Come support the salt farmers of North Bali while laughing at the physical comedy and acrobatic silliness of these clowns. Children most welcome! Desa Les is a village of 8,000 on the Northeast coast of Bali. As it is north of the mountains, it doesn’t get as much rain as the rest of Bali, and therefore is quite dry and getting good crops is not always guaranteed. Mangos, coconuts and rambutan fruit are in abundance, as is fish and salt, but these are seasonal. In February, there was a massive storm that destroyed dozens of outriggers and prevented many fishermen from fishing for several weeks. The salt flats of 23 families were also ravaged. The government came through and helped with some funding, but of course, it is never enough. Hannah Gaff, along with her acrobatic company, UpLift Physical Theatre, did a fundraiser at the Yoga Barn for the salt farmers in 2015. Hannah is currently in Bali with ClownCorps, a troupe of professional clowns from San Francisco who are collaborating with the Bali Children’s Project to provide a clown and circus show tour around rural Bali. ClownCorps has kindly offered to do another fundraiser. We would like to see the funds go to the salt farmers and the fisherfolk to make the necessary repairs so they can get on with their livelihoods. You can read more about the salt farmers here: https://saltofthesea.weebly. Rucina Ballinger, who has been living and working in Desa Les since 2014, and who instigated the salt project (selling the Les salt to restaurants in Ubud) will ensure that the funds go directly to the farmers. ClownCorps, based in San Francisco, California and sponsored by the SF Circus Center, serves local, national, and international communities through relief and social clowning, performance and workshops. PRICE IDR - ADULTS 130,000 and KIDS 50,000
