Reflect, Release & Align - A Visualization & Journaling Experience

Saturday September 13, 2025 10:00am - 11:00am EDT

Join Kate for a Visualization and Journaling Experience that will help reflect and align you with your higher calling. Do you ever ask yourself if this is really what you want in life? If where you are and what you are doing is really for you? Come take some time to visualize and write down your dreams and thoughts and start to realize what it is that truly calls to you.

This experience will begin with some grounding, centering breath work, followed by small movements to help us tune in to our “internal” world. You’ll then be guided through a series of visualizations that ask you to examine yourself, your life, and dream about all the potential there is. You’ll come away having a clearer vision of what it is you’re seeking and some actionable items to help you on the path to get there.

No experience is required. Come with an open mind and open heart!
Journals and Small Gift Included.

Wisdom of the Upanishads

Saturday September 13, 2025 11:30am - 12:30pm EDT

Books are cool, and this book is no exception! The vedanta scriptures open our eyes to a world that is beyond the physical senses, calling upon myths and legends of ancient yogis who were seeking immortality and the deepest secrets of life and consciousness. ‘The Upanishads’ is a condensed form of the Vedas (hence the name ‘Vedanta’), and the precursor to ‘The Mahabharata’ (Great Tale Of Bharata [India]), a text where we find ‘Bhagavad Gita’ nestled comfortably in the epicenter of the divine vortex. BG being a culmination of vedic wisdom about God and man’s search for happiness in a world that seems to be trying to kill him all the time. But ‘The Upanishads’ came first for a reason, and it is that reason we will uncover in this workshop. This is a rare opportunity to see these texts in an astonishing new way, and will provide countless gems and mysteries for you to meditate on in your personal practice.
You’ll meet Agni, Vayu, Nachiketas and even Yamaraj; Death himself, in this mythical tome of yogic knowledge. What question did Death refuse to answer to a young boy who gave his life as an act of faith? Who or what is Brahman? Why the chariot and the wheel? Join us at Transcend to discover a whole new world of Yoga with “Wisdom Of The Upanishads”!!

Meditative Mandalas Make-and-Take

Saturday September 13, 2025 1:30pm - 2:30pm EDT

Color yourself calm with some gentle movement, guided meditation, and coloring your very own mandala. Mandalas are mystical symbols, typically circular and geometric in form, and represent wholeness or unified energy. They have played a role in Eastern spiritual development for centuries, and are widely favored as meditational focal points because of their balancing and calming effects. The practice of coloring mandalas is a way not only to focus your mind and calm down your awareness but also to open your heart. As kids, we were constantly doing things with our hands and colors. But as adults, most of us have stopped doing that. We've lost our creative outlet. Until now! Not only is coloring mandalas a fun and creative activity, but it has been shown to have therapeutic benefits such as reducing stress and anxiety, improving focus and concentration, and promoting relaxation. This workshop is open to people of all skill levels, even if you think you're not an artist! We'll begin with some gentle breathwork and movement (no need to bring a yoga mat--we'll do this in our seats), then I'll walk you through a guided visualization to awaken your creative energy. I'll teach you about the meaning of mandalas and the symbolism behind the colors you choose to use, and you'll get to color a beautiful mandala and tap into your inner artist. Workshop limited to 20 participants, FCFS.

Lila – The Cosmic Dance of Life

Sunday September 14, 2025 10:00am - 11:00am EDT

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.

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.

Rise into Your Role in the Great Awakening

Sunday September 14, 2025 3:00pm - 4:00pm EDT

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.

Your Mind on Nootropic Mushrooms: Ancient wisdom meets exciting new research

Sunday September 14, 2025 3:00pm - 4:00pm EDT

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.
