Energize Your Soles

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

Embark, The Current

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.

The Stories We Carry: The Map of You - is a deeply reflective and interactive 90-minute workshop exploring the stories that shape who we are—and who we are becoming. Through guided discussion, journaling, life mapping, and Internal Family Systems-inspired exercises, participants will explore the experiences, relationships, values, and defining moments that have influenced their path. Using creative prompts and visual mapping exercises, participants will draw the landscape of their lives—identifying pivotal chapters, turning points, protective patterns, and the different “parts” of self that emerged along the way. Participants will leave with greater self-awareness, practical reflection tools, a visual map of their journey, and a deeper sense of clarity, compassion, and possibility moving forward.
