Overview
In the midst of the chaos and turbulence in our world, let us come together to ground, restore, and heal. Through conscious movement, we will root ourselves in the body and the present moment. Through Sama, we will open the heart and awaken love’s healing current. Through seated meditation, we will cultivate stillness and the restorative power of Presence.
Together, we will draw on mystical teachings that reveal the pathways of renewal, expand our perception, and inspire a deeper connection to the source of life. By harmonizing body, heart, and mind, we awaken the innate medicine within and radiate a healing presence that uplifts ourselves, each other, and the world.
In the loving company of our mehryaran, we will whirl light, joy, and healing into the world, expanding love in the greater field of consciousness.
