Why does life unfold as it does—full of challenges, joys, and contradictions? The concept of the Lila offers an answer: life is a divine play, a sacred act where duality—light and shadow, pleasure and pain—comes together to teach us, to awaken us.

In this lecture-based workshop, we’ll explore the tantric perspective on Lila, moving beyond surface-level understanding to examine why we choose this earthly experience and what we stand to gain from it. Through the lens of tantra, duality is not an obstacle but an experience that can bring us toward self-realization and self-liberation.

You’ll leave this workshop with a new way of looking at your life—seeing the interconnectedness of all events, the lessons within contrast, and how embracing the Lila can bring clarity, joy, and balance to your journey. This is more than philosophy; it’s a way of living in peace with the world’s inherent ebbs and flows.

The Yamas & Niyamas are 10 ethical guidelines for living skillfully, and their wisdom reaches far beyond the practice of Yoga. Not only does each principle give us guidance on how to interact with others, but they also show us how to "keep our side of the street clean", as the rooms of 12-step recovery programs say.

Many of us, whether we are years into sobriety or are just becoming "sober-curious", have been looking for new precepts to lead our recovery; a system that resonates with us on a deeper level than traditional programs can. No matter where you are on your journey, the Yamas and Niyamas can provide direction and inspiration for sobriety that will lead to inevitable self-discovery, growth, and liberation.

Join us for a supportive, expansive, and informative group discussion with Anne St. Hilaire - counselor, yoga teacher, recovery enthusiast, and founder of Awakened Connection, LLC - as we dive into Yoga's ethical principles and explore their application to the path of individualized sobriety. We'll laugh, learn, and connect with each other in integrity and reflection. Namaste!

An All Levels, All welcOMe yoga flow, designed to be the Happiest hour of your week! cOMe for yoga and/or Kirtan. Kirtan is call and response-style mantra meditation that is known to calm the mind and body and uplift the Spirit!

"Inside Flow" is a style of yoga that combines traditional yoga postures with music, where the movements and breath are synchronized to the rhythm of a song, creating a flowing, almost dance-like practice that aims to align your energy with the music and induce a meditative state; essentially, you "sing a song with your body" through movement and breath, based on the Vinyasa Flow style of yoga.

Basically, we are like Yoga back-up dancers. :)

We are nature: earth, fluid, sound, pulse, breath. And through Resonance, we return to that truth. This isn’t yoga. It’s not ecstatic dance. It’s a reclamation—a spiraling descent into the body, where untamed presence meets primal movement and fluid intelligence. This is unscripted discovery, where we shed performance and expectation, and instead, soften into the infinite hum of the cosmos woven into our flesh.

Through primal dance, sound, breath, and somatic tending, you’ll be guided into a sensuous conversation with your body and the living web it’s connected to. We’ll explore the edges of your skin, the weight of your cells, the fluid motility of your connective tissue, and the endless creative potential unlocked by radical presence.

This practice is for untangling knots, lubricating stagnant tissue, and re-enlivening your sensuous experience of the world. It’s for unraveling trauma patterns stored in the body and expanding your capacity to be here now—deeply.
You might touch the delight of corporeal reality without shame, feel the intoxicating freedom of mobility and motility, and hear your own breath as a song of reclamation.

What to Expect:

Techniques:
Curl, slither, spiral, shake. Skin-edge sensing. Embryological nurturance. Sound healing. Breath journeys. Energy medicine.

Premise:
Soften the inhibitors so your body’s innate intelligence can guide the way. Reclaim the felt-sense of being alive.

What It’s For:
• Releasing trauma stored in the body.
• Expanding creative capacity through somatic self-location.
• Lubricating tight, dry, immobilized tissue into supple vitality.
• Reconnecting with the web of life to amplify presence and resonance.

Who It’s For:
• Practitioners seeking to deepen their work and fill in the gaps.
• Creatives yearning to find space for inspiration.
• Bodies that feel trapped in rigidity or disconnected from sensation.
• Anyone who desires a practice that isn’t confined by rigid beliefs or rules.

This is a return to your aliveness, a portal into the primal intelligence of your body. It’s not about escaping your reality—it’s about expanding it. Resonance is for those ready to feel, move, and live in ways that ripple into everything they touch.
Come dance with your breath, spiral into your song, and root into the rhythm of the world.

One participant will win a 1-hour session, and all attendees will receive $100 credit toward Wild Essence

Based on my transformational spiritual coaching to awaken the priestesses of the modern world, this workshop is an experiential mix of ritual (meditation, movement, breathwork), lecture, journaling, transmission, circle-based discussion, Q&A, and coaching for women who feel curious or called to step into their soul purpose.

We will explore what is The Great Awakening, why each one of us is needed in this movement and evolution of consciousness, how spirituality will heal our world, and why it's necessary to first create this new culture within ourselves and our lives so that we may do our work that ripples out to the world. We will also discuss what it means to embody our souls fully, let our ego serve our souls, and the path of empowered surrender as the greatest way to co-create our paths with Source.

Meditation will allow for communion and guidance for clarity around participants' purpose, soul embodiment, and what's blocking them. We will also workshop various aspects of "starting where you are," including the power of your personal journey in the purpose you serve. Participants will have the opportunity to be coached in the group to heal and integrate the blocks currently holding them back. The workshop will conclude with a tantric embodied breathwork activation ritual to align participants' nervous systems to their next-level embodiment of their soul purpose.

Medicinal mushrooms can restore balance via impacting the immune system, lipid ratios, blood sugar, hormones, neurotransmitters, and oxidative damage.
