Primordial Meditation with Shelley Tomczyk

Join Shelley Tomczyk for a meditative exploration inspired by ancient contemplative traditions and Western mythic imagination. Rather than approaching meditation solely as a method for quieting the mind, this workshop invites you to engage with practices that have historically been used for inner listening, symbolic insight, and connection to deeper currents of personal meaning.

We will begin with a Yang–Yin asana practice to prepare the body—warming and circulating energy before softening into steadiness, stillness, and receptivity. This balanced movement sequence is intended to support the transition from wakeful presence into a more spacious inner landscape.

From there, we will explore two complementary modes of meditation—one oriented toward the clarity of day, and one toward the mystery of night:

Day-attuned practice: an invitation to awaken the senses, cultivate presence, and attune to the living world around you.

Night-attuned practice: a guided descent into inner stillness, allowing the psyche to move beyond surface thought and into its own symbolic terrain.

Each practice offers a different doorway into calm, awareness, and the possibility of insight—letting meditation become not merely something we perform, but a state we allow ourselves to enter.

Following the practices, there will be space for journaling and reflection. You’ll be invited to explore questions such as:
What themes are emerging in my life right now? What inner direction is quietly asking for my attention?

The spirit of the Full Moon draws us together to move, breathe, journal, get wild - and clear out what no longer serves while honouring the moon’s manifestation and healing power. You can expect a warming vinyasa flow, astrological alignment, invocation of prayers and intentions, elemental movement practices, journal prompts, and a guided shamanic journey for intuitive clarity.  All are welcome in this full moon community circle - come as you are!

Please bring a journal, a shawl, and if inspired an offering for the community altar. 

No pre-requisites or precautions.

Discover the art of backbending through the Ashtanga lens.

Join visiting teacher Seline for a 2-hour immersive workshop exploring the balance of strength, openness, and mindful technique in backbending. Drawing on years of dedicated Ashtanga practice under Guruji Sharath Jois and her experience teaching internationally, Seline will guide you to safely expand your range of motion while cultivating awareness and breath stability.

This workshop goes beyond flexibility — it’s an inquiry into the relationship between courage, surrender, and support. You’ll learn practical tools to strengthen the spine, open the front body, and create an integrated connection between breath and movement.

Time: 2–4 PM
Investment: $45

Join Ryan Leier for Patañjali’s Yoga Sūtra for the Modern Practitioner

In this workshop, Ryan will guide a short asana, pranayama, and meditation practice grounded in the four parameters of Patañjali’s teachings on posture. Following the practice, Ryan will explore the timeless philosophy and theory of the Sage Patañjali.

All of today’s yoga traditions can be traced back to Patañjali, who offered a clear roadmap for freeing ourselves from suffering and attaining peace of mind. Though composed over 2,000 years ago, these teachings remain profoundly relevant to our modern lives.

This workshop is open to all who are interested in yoga and its deeper dimensions.

Dharma, Prāṇāyāma & Meditation

Join our community for an afternoon of shared practice and reflection—a time to gather in sangha, deepen our spiritual roots, and nurture one another on the path. Together we will explore dharma, prāṇāyāma, and meditation as tools for clarity, purification, and awakening.

Through the cleansing and balancing effects of prāṇāyāma, we begin to remove tamasic energy and prepare the mind for stillness. From this refined state, meditation offers a gateway to the witness within—cultivating spacious awareness and loosening attachment to the physical realm.

This gathering is both a space of learning and of belonging: an opportunity to connect, share, and support each other in ongoing practice and commitment to the path.

All are welcome, whether you are new to these practices or deepening an existing relationship with them.

Sunday, Nov 9th 2-4pm Any pass/ pay what you can.
