Join certified Warrior Goddess facilitator Madrone Kalil for an inspirational, experiential workshop on living from your essence rather than from your fear. 

Reclaim Your Wholeness is more than a class; it is an interactive, inspirational, head to toe re-wiring to get you back into integrity as the artist of your spirit and the creator of your dream.

From a shamanic point of view, everything is about energy. When we don't have enough energy, we cannot create conscious change in our life. When we are vibrant and full, anything is possible. 

Each of us has a fire within, and everything we do either feeds and nourishes our fire, or diminishes and dampens our fire.  When we go beyond story, worry, and trying to figure things out we can move into a realm of perceiving energy directly, and know at a deep level how to be true to our precious inner spark.

You will leave Reclaim Your Wholeness:

• Re-wired with a new, tangible pathway to commit to yourself and your purpose.

• Re-inspired to take actions that dissolve judgment, fear, and scarcity thinking so you can access your innate wisdom

• Re-connected to your wholeness, your vitality, and your joyful essence.

Join a group of Warrior Goddesses for a workshop of reclaiming and igniting your inner fire. 

You will learn how to clear out internal stagnation and procrastination, connect to your creativity, and hone your ability to set purposeful intent.

Join us for an evening of Devotional Bliss at NAYC!

The musical soundscape (harmonium, guitar, percussion, and auxiliary instruments) will create a sweet syrup for the medicine of mantra & heart-songs to flow through. 

While devotional music is the highlight of this event, it will also include story-telling & educational pieces to support attendees in going deeper into their experience. 

Note: this is a donation based experience and does not require pre-registration. It is only helpful for us to gauge attendance. $20 is the suggested donation, but you can pay any amount in person upon arrival!

Step into SOS (Shake Out the Stress), a specialty class thoughtfully designed for those burdened by stress and perhaps weighed down by unresolved emotions.  This therapeutic session, led by Jackie, guides participants through a series of practices aimed at releasing and lightening both emotional and physical loads. It’s a safe haven where the art of mindful movement meets the science of stress relief, offering a pathway to ease for anyone seeking a reprieve from life’s pressures. 

The class starts with an hour of yoga, accessible to all levels and carefully crafted to engage with the psoas muscle—often referred to as the seat of emotions. Each stretch and posture encourages this core muscle to soften and prepare for release, paving the way for relief from stress and tension.

Following the yoga practice, the class transitions into a ten-minute session dedicated to shaking off the stress. This simple yet profound movement practice can help release deep-seated tension, allowing for a sense of liberation and lightness.

The culmination of the class is a tranquil savasana. Here, in the quietude, you have the opportunity to absorb the benefits of the practice, as the body rests and the mind settles. The silent savasana is designed to provide one with a deep sense of relaxation, leaving you feeling grounded and refreshed.

This combination of thoughtful yoga, expressive movement, and peaceful rest is designed to support your journey to a calmer, more centered state. We invite you to join us, to pause, breathe, shake and perhaps find that your world is a place of renewed hope and subtle joys.

Experience the awe-inspiring Snow Moon Ceremony and Sound Bath, where you will be transported to a realm of deep spiritual connection and healing vibrations. Immerse yourself in the magical energy of this sacred event and sink into your connection with the moon and earth.

October 28th is the Hunter’s Full moon and three days before Samhain.

Samhain (pronounced sow-an or sow-in) on October 31st is one of four Celtic fire festivals and the pagan new year. Samhain is a time of celebration and remembrance of our ancestors. It is also a time when humans acknowledge that dying is a part of living. Given how much societal resistance we have to grief, death, and dying, it is not hard to see how this pagan holiday turned into our modern-day Halloween celebrating everything scary!

The full moon is a magickal time to meditate on your heart’s desire and to set thoughtful intentions. Harness the power of this night in a sacred circle to bring forth the goals you want and align with life in your most positive way.

Together, we will combine the energy of both auspicious dates and co-create a beautiful evening ceremony filled with powerful community energy and love. 

This experience is for you…

If you are ready to celebrate your harvest and call-in change for the coming year

If you desire a space to remember and honor your beloved ancestors

If you long for a safe space to express your grief without judgement

If you need a safe space to be OK with the challenging emotions of death and dying

If you desire to put yourself first and invest in yourself

If you desire a space to take a break from the busyness of the everyday and tune into you

If you appreciate or wish to experience the power and magick of being in community circles

This circle will help you:

1) Help you shift grief in your life potentially seeing the gifts from your experiences.

2) Set strong intention with a journey and ceremony that can help you remove blocks that may keep you from growing fully in your life.  

3) Feel the supportive energy and the witness of community circle.

*Each journeyer/participant will receive a small Samhain gift for attending as a token of your courage to lean into your growth and for cultivating your resilience in today’s often harsh climate.

October 14th is a solar eclipse meaning the moon will not entirely cover the sun. Solar eclipses always happen with a new moon, so this time is ripe with opportunity to put goals into tangible practice. Eclipses tend to supercharge the emotions we have, and solar eclipse energy heightens the new moon magick of reflecting within.

This experience offers you the opportunity to internalize the power and trance-like state of being held by the energetic vibrations of a large mother drum. We limit this circle to twelve people so you will be able to lay down underneath or close to Zendaya, Flagstaff’s mother drum.

Together with the magick of the drum, the eclipse, and the new moon, you can “crack open” to your full potential, in the beauty of who you are, while being well held in a safe container.

This experience is for you…

If you desire a space to take a break from the busyness of the everyday and tune into you

If you are ready to set strong focused intentions to claim change in your life

If you desire a space to work on expanding your ability to receive more love and joy

If you have felt limits to loving yourself and are ready to call-in a different you

If you desire to put yourself first and invest in yourself

If you need something different to help you release stuck energy that may be a block in your life

If you love to be in, or wish to experience, the magick and energy of community circles

Space is limited so reserve your spot here

The workshop will begin with a guided meditation aligned with the themes of the New Moon in Virgo, allowing you to quiet the mind and listen within for an intention or mantra. Following the meditation, we will all use our individual experiences to create small collages of images or words that call to us, which will be pressed into a pin for you to keep, as a reminder to guide yourself back to your intention.

Anna is a writer, creator, reiki practitioner, and yoga and meditation instructor born and raised in New Jersey and has been calling Flagstaff home since 2021. She has spent the greater part of the last decade traveling to 50 US States and 30+ countries, flowing on mats, running marathons, speaking on mental health and alternative routes to self-love and recovery, creating collage and redactive poetry, and hosting creation workshops and yoga privates.

Sanskrit for Yoga Teachers

Sanskrit has functioned for nearly five thousand years as the language of classical Indian literature – both secular and religious. Knowledge of Sanskrit provides the key to a first-hand understanding of classical Hindu religion and philosophy and it is also an important language for the study of Buddhism. The aim of this workshop is to acquaint the student with the structure of the Sanskrit language, the basics of classical Sanskrit grammar, and its centrality for the use of mantras and in a theology of sound.
