MODULE #1:  March 29, 30 & 31 and April, 27, 28 & 29
Setting the Compass: Understanding of Who Am I, Where I Came From and Where I am Headed
These 4 days are about immersing ourselves into our multidimensionality, quantum reality, commend method, yoga philosophy, yoga sutras, 8 limbs of yoga, soul’s journey and more. Using Kundalini Yoga Tools and others, Hands on Experience, shifting our understanding about ourselves so, lifting the veil, taking the first step toward the Divine Alignment Laya Yoga Mantra is an extraordinary chant that fully reflects the essence of this first Module – brings the soul and destiny together and suspends you above conflicts by attracting success. Activates the Positive Mind therefore lets your activity serve your purpose.

MODULE #2: May 30,31 & June 1
I AM, I AM.. Meditation, Remembering what We Forgot – our Greatness, our Creativity, our Limitlessness.
This 4-day Deep Dive is well expressed through this Mantra Meditation, I AM, I AM which connects the finite and Infinite identities. The first I AM is the personal and finite sense of self, and the second I AM emphasizes the AM which is the impersonal, transcendent, Infinite Self. The minds often forgets that relationship between the Finite and Infinite but as Yogis we cultivate this relationships through habits and yogic practices. In this Module we take a Deep Dive with the Science of Breath, (Pranayam) as well as the Sound of Silence, (Shunya) and Mantra.

This Mantra is the Mangala Charn Mantra and this meditation has a beautiful and deeply touching, moving mudra. This 4-day Deep Dive cracks us open, by giving us time and space to face with courage our perhaps unexplored or denied parts of our inner terrain, in order to make us whole again.
