Exciting for Montrealers! Return to the Soul Workshop

Posted on Aug 13th, 2008 by Nicole : lovelightsinger Nicole
Yesterday as I was chatting with my dear friend victoria, she told me about a workshop her friend Julian is giving in conjunction with Anant Jesse



I fiind it fascinating and plan to go.

 Any Montrealers care to join me there
? Here's some info from Anant's website:

A Return to the Soul
With musical and creative elements woven throughout, this half-day workshop lays out self-transformative tools and techniques while venturing into the territory of ritual and ceremony, opening the door to a direct experience of truth, flow and self-expression.
 
Together we will create a space of learning and sharing, a journey of exploration and
self-discovery. It is our intention that all will leave with the sense of ‘primordial confidence’
that comes from connecting to the source of empowerment each of us carries inside
ourselves.
By combining elements of yoga, journaling and live music, we will raise energy and
evoke insight…. Who are we when we are connected to our most empowered selves?
What creates that connection? What sustains it? What tools do we have to carry that
spark forward into the details of daily life?
Those looking for a hands-on approach to spearhead their personal journey will find a
soulful framework within which to work. Teachers, therapists and experienced
practitioners of yoga and other contemplative arts will find a vividly human context to
hold and re-frame their practices.
A light and beautiful vegetarian lunch is included in the workshop.
In collaboration with Julian Giacomelli.
