Starlit Canyon

63313 Table Mountain Truck Trail

Anza, CA 92539

 

Cosmic Creations invites conscious souls to unite and co-create magic within the embrace of Mother Nature. This is a beautiful opportunity to share your unique essence, show up as you are, and delve deeper into your personal gifts. We are intentionally nurturing a space that connects your mind, body, and spirit.

 

Throughout the weekend, we will offer a variety of enriching experiences, including:

·         Yoga

·         Sound Healing

·         Reiki

·         Kirtan

·         Dance/Movement

·         Meditation

 

Participants will also have the chance to engage in transformative ceremonies and workshops, such as fire and cacao ceremonies, soul gazing, and Mayan abdominal & womb massage.

 

In addition to these activities, there will be ample time for integration, journaling, nature walks, or simply socializing.

 

Our intention is to create a conscious and sacred space that is substance-free, fostering an environment for deep healing and meaningful connections.

 

Please plan to bring your own food, drinks, camping gear, and yoga mat for the weekend. A grill will be available for communal use. While there will be porta-potties on-site, please note that there are no showers. The desert weather can shift from day to night, so we encourage you to pack layers and be prepared for possible winds.

 

We are excited to create, play, and explore with you! Join us as we gather under the moonlight and stars, connecting with other open-minded souls.

To Realign: Open Floor Workshop with Andrea Juhan

March 28-30, 2025

 

890 Church St.,

Mountain View, CA

 

It is easy in a complex, beautiful world to be thrown off, distracted, or so overwhelmed we can’t feel ourselves. Most of us need concerted focus, inspiration, and support to engage in the deep listening of the inner workings of our own body and being. 

To reconnect, to reimagine, to remember, to recharge, to re-access. The prefix “re-” points to circling back to something known or held as valuable before. 

In movement practice, the dance of ‘circling back’ can be poignant and illuminating. To realign with something essential in ourselves is vital to living our own values and gifts. The movements of returning are known to us, and the practice and art of doing so vitalizes and aligns us with our core selves.  

If there is to be a reinvention, or a recommitment to something we have been with before, we need to know what we are capable of now, in 2025, at whatever age we are, and in whatever state of health we find ourselves in. A time of retreat and the focused play of embodiment practice invites this into  re-evaluation and renewal. 

During these three days together we will play with these methods.
-Movement / Dance
-Impact / Embodiment
-Inquiry
-Mindfulness
-Group process for the purpose of support

Open Floor Movement Practice is mindful movement and can be done at any level of fitness.

Holy Fire® 3 Karuna Reiki Master Training - Santa Cruz Redwoods

 

June 24 · 9:30am - June 26 · 6:30pm PDT

 

Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park

101 North Big Trees Park Road

Felton, CA 95018

 

Karuna is a Sanskrit word and is also used in Hinduism and Buddhism. It is translated to mean any action that is taken to diminish the suffering of others and could also be translated as “compassionate action.” When individuals experience enlightenment, they report that all beings are known as one. Therefore, it is natural to extend compassionate action or Karuna to everyone without distinction because we are all one. As we help others and aid them in their healing process, all beings benefit. Because of the oneness of all beings, it is understood that Karuna is not only extended to others out of love, but also because it is an entirely logical thing to do. In the same way that you would want to heal your own wounds, you would also want the wounds of others to heal. It is also stated in the Buddhist literature that Karuna must be accompanied by prajna or wisdom in order to have the right effect.

 

Karuna is the motivating quality of all enlightened beings (also called the Brothers and Sisters of the Light) who are working to end suffering on Earth. They continually send an unlimited amount of healing energy and guidance to us, but not all are receptive to it. As you develop Karuna in yourself, not only are you helping others, but you also become more receptive to the Karuna that is being sent by the supreme being. Thus, your healing is quickened as well. Karuna Reiki® opens you to work more closely with the supreme being.

 

The Karuna symbols can be used just like other Reiki symbols when giving Reiki sessions. When teaching, the whole method is taught in one 3-day weekend as described above. This is possible because the requirement to take the class is to have been a Reiki Master for a minimum of 6 months. This prior training requirement allows students to receive the ability to use each of the symbols in Reiki sessions and the ability to teach the complete system to others. Also, you’ll be shown how to give the Usui/Holy Fire® III Placements for Reiki I&II and Master. The Master class uses Ignitions which you will be empowered to give in your classes. This means that after taking this class, you and your students will be able to teach all levels of Reiki as Holy Fire® III classes.
