Welcome to Energize!
A note from Shanti...
Happy Summer Solstice!
What a succulent solstice we had this weekend with all the spontaneous
moisture from Mother Nature along with an abundance of juicy celebratory
events! As we celebrated this Solstice ( the standing still of the Sun),
we shared and aligned in the vibrancy and strength of Father Sun while
basking in the aliveness of our own inner strength and vibrancy. Deep
gratitude to all those who came out for our first annual Shakti Solstice
Celebration on 6/19. It was such a sweet and deep time together...just
yummy! Due to the huge success, we will be aligning the Shakti energy
with each Equinox and Solstice, so stay tuned for future collaborations!
What juicy Summer gifts await us as we stoke the internal flame blossoming
out of old habits and pre-conditioning and into our fullest potential?
As we slowly journey toward the shortest day of the year and the time
of internal focus, the gifts of Summertime are ours for the making and
for the taking...let's not let this succulent Summer slip on by without
basking in the juiciness of the opportunities that arise! Let's uplift
and support each other to animate our lives through our inspirations and
intentions during the season of vibrant and robust light!
MahaGroove, the mantric world groove band I am in, is heading
up to Fort Collins next Saturday, June 27th at 7:30pm for our dance jam
in our only outside venue this summer, Avogadro's Number. It's
a really fun and funky place serving vegan and vegetarian cuisine, smoothies,
and alcohol...a little somethin' for everyone! You can check out MySpace.com/MahaGroove
to see some clips and photos from our last couple of gigs or MahaGroove.com
for more information. Come get your groove on with us!
Also next weekend, Scott and I are very excited to be hosting
Elysabeth Williamson and the Art of Partner Yoga on Sunday June 28th at
5pm at the Nook. Elysabeth travels around the globe sharing this
unique and potent offering. She is the author of the beautiful book "Pleasure
and Principals of Partner Yoga" and copies are for sale at the Nook.
Learn to use the presence of energy of others to deepen the impact of
Yoga. Focus includes Thai Massage techniques, mirrored and group postures,
assisted standing postures and basic partner inversions. This workshop
is appropriate for all levels of experience and you do not have to attend
with a partner. Limited space, so secure your spot early by contacting
me via email.
Under my ongoing programs in the Programs and Workshops tab, you will
find my July dates for public classes along with the August dates that
I will be in town. I will be taking some family retreat time at the beginning
of July and August, so I've created the series around the times I will
be in Boulder up until school begins again. I'll send out another schedule
for the school year as it approaches.
May the Summer Solstice ignite
the flame within each of us!
