Energize Your Soles

Saturday October 31, 2026 9:00am - 10:00am PDT

Embark, The Collective

Limited Capacity seats available

Energize Your Soles is an interactive movement experience designed to reconnect you to the foundation of your body: your feet. In this 60-minute workshop, Maria DelliVeneri, MS, LAT, ATC, will guide you through a practical exploration of foot function, awareness, and movement. Through guided walking, movement exploration, and sensory awareness drills, you’ll assess how your feet interact with the ground and how your body responds above them. Participants will then use balance domes and targeted foot release techniques to wake up the muscles, fascia, and sensory pathways of the feet.
Energize Your Soles offers practical tools and a completely new perspective on the foundation beneath you.

Fire Puja (Agni Hotra)

Saturday October 31, 2026 9:00am - 10:00am PDT

Limited Capacity seats available

This ceremony is an ancient Indian ritual that is performed every morning at the ashram, in keeping with Vedic tradition. Its purpose is to invoke the elements of earth, water, fire, air and ether and the essence or Consciousness within which they exist. Fire is a great transformer and what remains when the herbs are burned is their sweet aroma or essence. This and the vibration of the mantras are said to purify the atmosphere and radiate peace.

A live sound healing experience with crystal bowls, tuning forks & voiceYou've tried to breathe through it. You've told yourself you're fine. But your body isn't convinced.This class is for anyone who lives with a low hum of stress they can't quite shake — the tension that doesn't go away even when nothing is technically wrong. In 60 minutes, you'll experience firsthand how sound frequencies bypass the thinking mind and communicate directly with your nervous system, guiding it out of survival mode and into genuine safety.
No experience needed. No effort required. You just show up and let your body do what it already knows how to do — come back to itself. You'll leave feeling: grounded, lighter, more present in your body than you've been in a while.
