Money, Archetypes & You!


Tuesday, April 24, 2018 at 7 PM - 9:30 PM

The Center SF
548 Fillmore St,
San Francisco, California 94117


Which voices are you listening to as you do or don’t make your financial decisions….? WHO is in the driver’s seat of your financial life...?

Why haven’t we received a user’s manual around how to relate, feel, think about money to be our healthiest, happiest most harmonious version of ourselves? Instead, we have just taken everything in when we were little ones, unconsciously, and then learned to not talk about it. NO wonder we have so many challenges…and significant untapped potential
WELL, THE CHANCE IS YOURS NOW…

Let’s shed some light, take a look, have some laughs and fun, while exploring and tuning into the largely unconscious inner voices that we hear, the beliefs, behaviors, attitudes and emotions we experience, when we are speaking about and doing any planning around money. Over time, we forget that we are in the driver’s seat, and we give way too much power and control to this internal crew of characters that we are largely unaware of.

These voices are the same for every person— they have been passed down to us and live in the collective unconscious. Once we bring awareness, we then have a choice about how to move, and this allows us to take powerful and effective action when we want to! We can then move into the clear, tactical, wise actions we’d like to take.

“The word ‘archetype’ comes from the Greek ‘arkhetypos’ which means ‘first imprint’. The philosopher Plato first brought forth the idea of archetypes in his ‘Theory of Forms’. ... Swiss Psychiatrist Carl Jung pioneered the use of archetypes to illuminate personality early in the 20th century. Joseph Campbell then made them more accessible, among many, many others.

Money Archetypes are a way of describing common patterns and habits people develop over the course of their lives when relating to money. These patterns become ingrained over time as we repeat them again and again. They are familiar to us. They are our automatic ways of reacting and responding…

Tuvan-Mongolian Throatsinging Workshop


Sunday, April 22, 2018 at 2:45 PM - 4:45 PM

DiviniTree Yoga and Arts Studio
1043B Water St.,
Santa Cruz, California 95062


Learn the magical art and practice of Throatsinging with Emile Janse. Experience inner resonance in a new way, combining tones within the resonant cavity of the Human system enables you to access parts of self otherwise more hidden.

The practice of throatsinging and polyphonic singing is not about figuring out how to make multiple sounds at once, but how to distinguish multiple sounds in your voice that are already there. With this recognition, throatsinging becomes a practice of deep listening to one's own voice so that you hear the subtle harmonics that are there all the time. We will experiment with how to isolate and play with different kinds of tones to find out what works best for us to hear and play with the overtones in our own voice.

Emile has successfully guided dozens of people into an overtone throatsinging practice and is passionate about serving your expanding perception in this way.

You do not need to have previous experience in any other music or singing to learn how to throatsing.

Cost: $15/advance. $20/day of

According to Fox TV, the band has become “a San Francisco Landmark”, winning numerous awards including a “Wammie” and a “Bammie”.

Rock stacking is “an art form, a working meditation practice, a tangible connection to earth, an avenue for self-discovery and personal growth, a playful exploration of the force of gravity and other laws of physics, a paradigm for solo and group empowerment, a form in which to practice equanimity during collapse and rebuilding, and a joyful and moving way to connect with others and with the environment.” – Zach Pine, artist and instructor
