SWEAT LODGE (TEMESCAL)
with Tito Avila
Sunday, April 28
$22-33/person
Arrive at 12
Opening circle at 1
Closing circle at 4
Immerse yourself in the timeless ritual of the sweat lodge, a profound medicine for body and soul. Tito Avila, a respected leader trained in the Mexica tradition, prayerfully pours water over glowing volcanic rocks, filling the lodge with purifying steam. Through rounds of heat, song, and intention, layers of toxicity - both physical and energetic - are cleansed. The boundaries between self, community, spirit and earth melt away, invoking our inherent wholeness. Tito's integrity, humility and depth of presence create an atmosphere of safety and sacredness.
SUFI ZIKHR
with Shems Millard
First Wednesday of each month starting
May 1, 7-9pm
Cost $20
When we perform Zikr we recite the names of the Divine together as one voice, one heart. The linguistic home for this practice is Arabic, which uses sacred sounds that bypass the discerning mind and invoke the soul’s capacity for conversing directly with the intimacy of our inner Beloved, and the vastness of God/Creation/Consciousness. You will leave feeling inspired, uplifted and spiritually nourished
