———————————————————-

This is a very special opportunity to attend in-person at one of our biggest and most exciting events of the year. 

It’s as if a fog has cleared and the sun shines through in spectacular fashion. It’s like emerging from a dream-state into a vivid realness that can’t be denied. Such is the experience of Kundalini Yoga — where ideas of higher and lower fall apart, where the realm of the body and the realm of the soul merge into a single blissful vastness. 

Our mind and body lightens as we are freed from the heaviness of guilt and shame. A happy confidence shines through as emotions of ‘less-than’ and unworthiness dissolve. 

    “Therefore the Yoga way or the Yoga philosophy has always been a secret, but not because people have kept it secret…The real secrets are secrets because no one understands them. One cannot even talk about them, and such a kind are the experiences of Kundalini Yoga.” – Carl Jung

This Winter Solstice take a journey that will clear the fog, bring the inner sunshine out, and vitalize your life with the radiance of inspiration & purpose. 

This multi-day experience is substantive enough in both time and depth that it can very much deliver the transformative journey which brings these experiences to our life.

We uplift, renew, and revitalize every aspect of our being — all set to the profound dharma teachings, transporting practices, and the transcendent live music of the SIMRIT project.

Think of it as a yoga and meditation retreat, a live concert, and a sound healing ritual ceremony all rolled into one event. There are truly no words to describe its transformational impact — you have to just experience it for yourself!

Join us for this, my friend. Space is extremely limited. Let’s take this journey together at one of the most sacred times of the year.

WHITE TANTRIC YOGA® – a one day meditation workshop

This workshop will be held on February 17, 2024 at:

Finlandshuset konferens, Snickarbacken 4, 111 39 Stockholm

Doors open at 7:30 am. Warm ups begin at 8:15 am. Workshop begins at 9:00am

ABOUT WHITE TANTRIC YOGA® & MEDITATION

Our minds release 1000 thoughts per wink of an eye. Some of these thoughts get lost in the unconscious, and some get stuck in the subconscious and affect the conscious mind. These thoughts become feelings, emotions, desires, multi-realities or fantasies. Instead of mastering our mind, often our mind and thoughts direct or distract us, which can result in impulsive decisions, poor communication and self-imposed stress.

White Tantric Yoga® enables you to break through these subconscious blocks, so you can have a more enjoyable life. In the shortest time, you can experience release from a lot of the burden you carry in your mind.

When you see and act on each moment with clarity, you can gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your life can change. Your mind, body, and soul can act together as one. This is the path to personal freedom and awareness, and will bring more success to every area of your life. White Tantric Yoga® is a registered trademark of Humanology and Health Science Inc.

For Additional Information on all White Tantric Yoga® workshops and current schedule of all courses go to www.whitetantricyoga.com

HOW IT WORKS

Envision the energy of the universe as both parallel and perpendicular in nature, like a cloth woven together. As a cloth becomes stronger when it is stretched on the diagonal, so the White Tantric Yoga® diagonal, or ‘Z’ energy is stronger. This energy cuts through the blocks that are stuck in the subconscious mind. During this process, the diagonal energy connects the participants to the subtle body (expanded state of consciousness) through the electronic media. This works the same way as a worldwide telephone system that relies on satellites and electromagnetic energy in order to connect two parties.

WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?

There are no prerequisites for participating in White Tantric Yoga®. Beginners will tune into their internal energies and enjoy a deep and sometimes challenging meditative experience. More advanced meditation practitioners will deepen their experience and make new inroads to their spiritual awareness.

HOW TO PREPARE AND WHAT TO BRING

• Come to the workshop ready to meditate, having done some yoga or stretching exercises. • Wear loose comfortable white clothing. White combines all the colors and enhances your magnetic field and auric strength. • Wear a white cotton head covering which FULLY covers the head and will stay on securely during the meditation. • Bring a yoga mat/sheepskin and cushion to sit on and a light blanket to cover yourself with during relaxation periods. • Water will be available during the day so you can refill your non-breakable plastic or stainless steel bottle. Lunch is included in the price.

New policies and procedures:

Masks -optional.

Hand Washing/Sanitizer– We encourage frequent washing of hands and use of hand sanitizer.

Social Distancing – Please be mindful of your space and interactions and understand the needs that others may have.

Lunch – Vegan & Gluten-free lunch will be provided.

HOME: Arctic Siberian Shamanic Live Concert with SNOW RAVEN featuring MISHA MISHENKO

HOME: Arctic Siberian Shamanic Live Concert

Doors 7:00 PM Concert at 7:30 PM

Prepare to embark on a breathtaking sound journey to the enchanting snowy landscapes of Arctic Siberia as expressed in the music of the internationally-known indigenous artist SNOW RAVEN, whose people, the Sakha, dwell in that region. Joining SNOW RAVEN is the talented MISHA MISHENKO, a composer, multi-instrumentalist, and sound producer whose artistry adds another layer of enchantment to this extraordinary concert.

Immerse yourself in the rich, mystical sounds of Sakha Shamanism, carefully crafted by SNOW RAVEN and her unique ensemble. The concert will feature a mesmerizing array of elements, including mouth harp, throat singing, arctic beatbox, and the art of mimicking the calls of birds and animals. Experience the traditional songs of the Sakha people and original compositions by SNOW RAVEN in English, creating a one-of-a-kind musical fusion that bridges cultures and time.

This concert will transport you through multiple realms and lead you back to the heart of yourself, your HOME!

In a world filled with distractions, "Home" serves as a musical sanctuary that inspires you to return to the heart of yourself, and to the Earth. The album’s ethereal sounds and rhythms carry you on an inner voyage, urging you to rediscover the significance of your physical body as the ultimate dwelling place for your soul.

SNOW RAVEN – SUOR, is a mystic hailing from one of the most remote and frigid regions on Earth, the Republic of Sakha – Yakutia. From the age of three, she delved into the language of birds and animals, giving her voice a unique quality that draws from the wellspring of traditional Sakha culture. She is the originator of "arctic beatbox" – a technique that uses the breath of reindeer, and the visionary behind the OLOX ecosystem, where many beliefs converge into a common truth.

Notably, SNOW RAVEN has graced international stages and festivals, including America’s Got Talent 2020, Lightning in the Bottle, Lost Lands, The Elements, Lucidity Festival, and Burning Man. She has also taken her ethereal sounds to renowned events like the Sundance Film Festival and Bioneers ECOconference. With an impressive resume and appearances at TEDx Vermont and Yale University, she continues to inspire and uplift audiences worldwide.

SNOW RAVEN’s profound connection to her homeland, Sakha (Yakutia), shines through her music, offering you a unique opportunity to witness the beauty, wisdom, and power of her ancestors.

DAY 2 – SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 4
Darshan Blessing with Paramahamsa Vishwananda

Prayers & Pre-Darshan Events: 12pm-2pm
Darshan Blessing: 3pm-8pm

EXPERIENCE THE DIVINE BLESSING OF A LIVING SAINT

Darshan with Paramahamsa Vishwananda is a rare, direct, personal blessing from an enlightened Master. In this sacred moment, the veil is lifted, and one can perceive the Divine Love and Grace which is already present within and around us. 

It is a life-changing experience to be in the presence of a Satguru, Premavatar (incarnation of Divine Love) and fully-realized Kriya Yoga Master. People come away from encounters with Paramahamsa Vishwananda feeling a profound, heart-opening awakening of unconditional love and acceptance such as they have never felt before. Many receive healing from specific ailments, peace and calm of mind, and a feeling of being connected to the core essence of oneself — the soul. Meeting a God-Realized Master has the potential to be the most unique, impactful experience you have ever had in your life.

This precious opportunity to take Darshan with Paramahamsa Vishwananda will be the keynote event of the Bhakti Marga Fest in Elmira, New York. The temple and ashram where the festival will be held is the largest Narasimha temple in North and South America. It is a place of pilgrimage for seekers all over the world. Kali, Lakshmi and Durga will be the main Deities of the new temple, so the opening festival will provide a deep immersion in devotion and worship of Divine Mother, awakening the Shakti connection with the Divine Feminine within us all.  

The joyous days will be filled with the blissful sounds of Kirtan (devotional music and chanting), Prasad (blessed food), knowledge talks, OM Chanting, Sanskrit Chanting, Devotional Worship and Devotional Art (meditative drawing and painting.) There will be a Bhajan Cafe serving delicious, Indian-inspired food, drinks and baked goods, and a Bhakti Shop offering clothes, jewelry, books and other items. 

Paramahamsa Vishwananda is a direct disciple of Mahavatar Babaji, the founder of the Kriya Yoga lineage, who first appeared on earth more than 5,000 years ago. With the guidance of Mahavatar Babaji, Paramahamsa Vishwananda developed Atma Kriya Yoga—an expression and manifestation of the ancient Kriya tradition for our times. He has given the name Bhakti Marga (the Path of Devotion) to his worldwide mission to show people the simplest way to discover their eternal relationship with God.  

It is rare to have a Satguru alive in our lifetime, and even more rare to have him travel to us. For any spiritual seeker, anyone interested in Bhakti and looking for more positivity and meaning in their lives, this is an event and opportunity not to be missed.

This is an offer of:
