Abstract Linear Background

Shamanic Breathwork

Connect with the archetypes of the 4 directions (serpent, jaguar, hummingbird and eagle) as you engage in a breathing practice designed to deepen your relationship with these energetic forces, welcoming them into your lower chakras before getting to know and connect with the archetypes associated with the upper chakras, Huascar, Quetzelcoatl and Pachakuti, keepers of the lower, middle and upper realms. By engaging in this practice each morning you’ll create the foundation for your own practice and connection with these powerful forces of protection, guidance and insight.

Boundaries in Relationship

Many folks feel that boundaries are one of the most difficult aspects of relationships. In reality, being able to identify, communicate, and maintain boundaries actually saves an immense amount of energy in the long run. Whether romantically, with family or peers, or even in the workplace, learn how consistent boundaries will give you a greater sense of peace and confidence within yourself. We will discuss and dispel perceived challenges to boundaries before collaboratively creating a skeleton outline for you to apply your own unique preferences and life experience into. Join me as we work smarter, not harder in relationship with others!

Shadow Work Yoga

Everything casts a shadow. It almost feels like our shadow is always following us around......and it is. The shadow is a psychological term for everything we can not see in ourselves. The shadow is the "dark side" of our personality because it consists mainly of primitive, negative human emotions and impulses. Every human being is susceptible to this, but as we uncover what our shadow self is we get to see that without a shadow there is no light. So we need both to thrive in our life! And exploring our shadow can usher one to greater authenticity, creativity, energy, and personal awakening leading to a "positive shadow". In this workshop we will investigate an aspect of a human shadow conditioning so that we can unveil it, bring it to the light to deeply understand it. Guiding us closer to a greater self understanding and shifting out of the dark and into the light. This workshop will ask a lot of you, mentally and some physically. So be prepared to awaken!

Calm Lake

Vocal River

Calling all beatboxers, melody-makers and lovers of sound! In this experiential workshop inspired by Bobby McFerrin and other great vocal improvisors, we'll co-create musical tapestries using only our voices and bodies. No experience is necessary, but come prepared to sing, be vulnerable, and open your heart.

Stainless Steel

Steel Mace Flow Intro Class

Once an ancient weapon now modernized and used for fitness purposes, the steel mace is a tool you never dreamed that you needed in your movement routine until now. Incorporating the steel mace into your daily movement practice can bring on incredible physical and mental benefits. Physically, it covers all the areas of stability, mobility, strength, and endurance. Thanks to founder and creator Leo Savage, we have a format with the steel mace called Steel Mace Flow. It marries all of the fitness benefits of using the mace with the art of flow and getting into flow state. Steel Mace Flow is like any other martial art practice in that it requires a state of relaxation & focus. Creatively, moving with the mace teaches one the art of letting go of expectation and just creating in the moment. In this intro workshop, Cheryl will show you some basic foundational movements of Steel Mace Flow and get the mace into your hands to help you fall in love with the practice as much as she has. Cheryl is a level one steel mace coach with honors and has been practicing with the mace for over 3 years.

Herbs and Spices

Rapeh Ceremony

Rapeh is a sacred snuff from the amazon rainforest that helps to align the body, mind and spirit. The snuff is made by hand by indigenous elders in prayer with a delicate process of pulverizing sacred tobacco leaves and the ash of a certain medicinal plant or tree. This powder is the sacred snuff that is then administered through a Tepi into each nostril. When the medicine enters the field it helps to bring grounding, centering and alignment. We will be sitting in a circle with this medicine, starting with an opening prayer, working with the medicine as a group, each being served individually with care and compassion, closing with a sound healing and sharing of the experience for integration. 

Sillouette of Wind Turbine

intro to energy

During this intro energy class, you will learn to ground yourself in your own energetic signature, the earth, and your universal energy source. When learning or practicing energy work, the basics are often not taught. The lack of a foundation leaves practitioners exhausted, drained, and struggling to work past internal blockages. Krystal will guide you through testing and expanding your energy to build your own energetic field. You will then use self-reflection and journaling to engage with your energy and the tools you need to sustain these practices. 

Concrete Wall

Hebrew Prayer Books

Rising Tides

The session would begin with a little jam sesh, where we will play drums and get the participants moving. Helping break the ice and get everyone feeling good and loose. From there it’ll transition into the telling of stories and experiences. Speaking on my times facing the sea and some of the beings I’ve encountered in my travels. After that we begin easing everyone into a deep mediation. Using singing bowls and music to help facilitate a trance environment. Exploring the connection everyone has with water and with the sea. This segways nicely into the healing portion and water ceremony where everyone will have the ability to cast away something they have been holding onto or call into their life something they have been wishing for. From there we get into our merfolk talk and speak on how anyone can be ambassadors for the water. Followed opening up the floor to others to speak on their experiences, asking questions, discussions on what the water means and can do for everyone, swimming and connecting with the water. And finishing the same way we started, with a passionate round circle dance

Reparenting the Inner Child

What if you are the parent you needed all along? At our core, we are all just kids in need of love and acceptance.

In this workshop, we will explore the ways our inner child is impacted by life experience and how we can begin to heal any lasting wounding. We will dive into an experience of connecting with this deep aspect of self, culminating into a powerful group process.

Tug of War

Anahatas Backyard highland games

The highland games are held in the spring and summer in Scotland in celebration of Scottish & Celtic culture. The games are centered around feats of strength & athleticism, music, food, dance, and celebration. Laughing Hearts Yoga & Movement will be hosting a homemade, backyard version of the Highland Games at Anahata’s Purpose for its second year this September with athletic events to challenge the strength and fortitude of the attendees. The games will include a backyard version of the highland game's caber toss (a long log that is held upright and tossed in the air – but don’t worry, ours will be constructed and small), tug o war, farmer’s dash, sheaf toss, & welly throw. This year we will be divided into two teams and the winning team will receive complete bragging rights for the duration of the retreat, iron bru ( THE drink of scotland ), and a few other goodies :). Kilts are most certainly an option - wear em' if you got em'! Gie it laldy!!
