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.

We'll conclude chanting the chosen mantra aloud 108 times as well as a discussion about what came up for us in the process.

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!

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.

Explore the undeniable nootropic and psychedelic mushroom movement and dive deep into the many mechanisms medicinal mushrooms employ to optimize brain vitality. We will outline the traditional uses, constituents we care about and plough through new research on fungi brain allies such as lion's mane, reishi, cordyceps, psilocybe, maitake, wood ear, and poria.

Medicinal mushrooms can restore balance via impacting the immune system, lipid ratios, blood sugar, hormones, neurotransmitters, and oxidative damage. They have the power to revitalize neural pathways, fatigued tissues, and entire ecosystems. And unlike any other, they have the capacity to reconnect us to the planet, humanity, and ourselves.
