​Vocal Yoga This is an invitation into exploration and experience of “Shabda Brahma” - the Word that is Creator alongside Naad Yoga - yoga of sound. The journey we embark on starts with the breath and takes us all the way to our limitless potential. We will experience the healing ability of this in-built musical instrument we all have; and discover how to utilize our own voice as a tool to remember our oneness with all, and receive divine wisdom that is personal and transformational. The joy of singing and sounding together and how it activates divine love and devotion inside of us is the fountain of youth. Allowing and creating space to connect to the divine makes a most joyful and vibrant tribe. We will leave glowing and feel prana move and activate our entire being.

Flower of Life Holographic Workshop
I reach out to you with Love and excitement in introducing my new workshop that has been in development for 25 years, ever since I first started working with this Flower of Life Holographic form. It is an automatic transmission to Travel, Heal, and Expand your consciousness beyond your limited 3-dimensional reality!
Flower of Life is based on the work of my dear friend and colleague Alton Kamadon who brought forth the concept of The Melchizedek Method in the mid-nineties and the innovative approach to working with the 369 mathematical equation to unlocking the secrets of the universe, brought to light by Nicola Tesla.
