Bends, Beats & Brainspotting: A Workshop for Nervous System Embodiment

Friday April 24, 2026 3:30pm - 5:00pm MST

Palo Verde

This immersive workshop blends three powerful modalities—Yin Yoga, binaural sound, and Brainspotting—to guide you into deeper states of rest, release, and renewal.

Through the long, supported postures of Yin Yoga, you’ll soften into stillness and open subtle pathways in the body. Layered with the soothing frequencies of binaural beats, your nervous system is gently invited into balance, supporting a meditative and restorative inner state. Complementing these practices, Brainspotting offers a simple yet profound way of accessing the body’s innate wisdom, helping to release held patterns and invite emotional integration.

Together, these practices create a container for slowing down, reconnecting with yourself, and experiencing nervous system embodiment in a safe and supported way. Whether you are seeking relaxation, inner clarity, or a deeper mind-body connection, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to journey inward for nervous system embodiment.

Voices of Compassion: A Talking Circle of Connection

Saturday April 25, 2026 5:30pm - 6:45pm MST

Palo Verde

In this experiential offering, we gather in circle — a timeless practice of equality and presence — to honor the power of listening (śravaṇa), not for the sake of being heard, but to truly seek understanding. This sacred shift — from the desire to be understood toward the intention to understand — opens a doorway to karuṇā (compassion) and sangha (community). Together, we create a container where trust (śraddhā) and presence can flourish.

The circle begins in silence, followed by an introduction to the theme of compassion and connection, including the obstacles that often prevent us from fully embodying these qualities. With the support of a talking stick passed hand to hand, participants are invited to share their reflections in turn, free of judgment, advice, or interruption. Each voice is honored, each story stands alone, and each contribution is received in collective presence — an expression of true satsang (gathering in truth).

Eva Maurice, spiritual counselor and enlightenment educator, has been guiding talking circles for over 16 years. She holds deep respect for this tradition and invites both seasoned practitioners and first-time participants to enter the circle with openness and reverence. We close with meditative silence, sealing the experience in gratitude and unity. Participants leave with a renewed sense of compassion, belonging, and the embodied wisdom that listening is itself an act of love.

The Power of Thought: Crafting a Personal Mantra for Daily Life

Sunday April 26, 2026 10:30am - 12:00pm MST

Palo Verde

We live in a constant swirl of thoughts, many of them critical, repetitive, or unhelpful. Left unchecked, these patterns can shape our inner state in ways that drain energy, cloud clarity, and limit possibility. Both yoga philosophy and modern neuroscience affirm what ancient sages intuited long ago: our thoughts matter. They influence our emotions, our physiology, and ultimately, our actions in the world.

This workshop is an exploration of the power of intentionally chosen thought. Participants will be guided through a process of reflection, awareness, and gentle reframing to uncover the thought patterns that most often drive their daily lives. With this awareness, we will turn toward the yogic tradition of mantra and the modern science of neuroplasticity to craft a personal mantra—an anchor for presence, resilience, and alignment.

The session will weave together teaching, journaling, and embodied practice. Through guided meditation, breath, and simple repetition, participants will learn how to “charge” their mantra and integrate it into both their spiritual practice and everyday life.

You will leave not only with a mantra designed uniquely for you, but also with a deeper understanding of the link between thought, feeling, and action—and a practical tool you can return to in moments of stress, transition, or self-doubt.

Nataraja and Your Dance of Life

Sunday April 26, 2026 1:00pm - 3:00pm MST

Palo Verde

Nataraja, the beautiful dancing form of Shiva, is prevalent in the yoga world. But what does he teach us? In this workshop we will explore stories and teachings around Nataraja, based on the Tantric texts and traditional lore. We will savor the teachings, engage in contemplation, share our insights, as well as chant and meditate.

We will explore
- the story of Patanjali and Vyaghraphada in the Tillai forest
- how his steady center and wild dance represent both the inward turn of yoga practice, and the outward turn of living life fully
- how his hands and feet map the Tantric teachings of the 5 acts of Shiva, informing our path of yoga and of life.
- a contemplative practice which will bring out the deeper meaning of the teachings.

Bring a notebook and pen, as we will be contemplating, writing, and sharing our insights.
