Be Here Now: Compassion in Action, A Satsang in the Spirit of Ram Dass

Friday July 24, 2026 12:00pm - 1:15pm EDT

Limited Capacity seats available

"The most important thing you can do for yourself and for the world is to be present." — Ram Dass
We gather in the spirit of Ram Dass — teacher, mystic, and beloved guide for generations of seekers — to explore what it means to truly be here, now. Through story, silence, and open-hearted inquiry, we'll touch the teachings that have moved millions: loving awareness, the dissolution of separation, the grace of the present moment, and the radical act of seeing each other as soul.
This is not a lecture. It is an invitation to sit together, go inward, and remember what we already know. Come as you are. Bring your questions, your grief, your longing, your joy. There is room for all of it here.
Open to all levels. No yoga experience required. Perfect for first-time festival attendees and long-time practitioners alike.

The Balance Myth

LIMITED

Friday July 24, 2026 12:00pm - 1:15pm EDT

The Venue (Balcony)

Limited Capacity seats available

True balance isn’t a static destination you reach; it is a dynamic, ever-shifting dance that requires your steady presence. Rather than a fixed point of perfection, it is a continuous process of tiny adjustments and mindful refinements in response to life's movement. By exploring physical postures that test this steadiness, we will learn to embody this fluidity and practice the real-time corrections needed to stay connected to your center.

An anatomically informed lunar practice focused on the psoas- the body’s deepest core muscle and a key mediator of stress response.

This practice blends embodied anatomy, trauma-informed insight, and subtle energetics for deep restoration.
