Fall Equinox: Embracing Balance and Transition

As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, we're reminded of the arrival of the Fall Equinox – a moment of exquisite balance in the natural world. On this magical day, the sun crosses the celestial equator, marking the transition from the warm embrace of summer to the quiet introspection of autumn.

During the Fall Equinox, nature whispers its secrets of change. Leaves surrender to vibrant hues, dancing in the wind before settling gently upon the earth. The aroma of spiced cider and roasted chestnuts fills the air, invoking feelings of warmth and comfort.

Fall Equinox invites us to mirror the balance of the natural world within our own lives. It's an opportunity to pause and reflect upon the journey we've undertaken thus far in the year – to reassess our goals, release what no longer serves us, and make space for new beginnings.

As we stand at this threshold between light and darkness, we contemplate our own inner equilibrium. Just as day and night converge harmoniously, so must we weave our dreams and responsibilities into a tapestry of symphony. It is during this time that we can realign ourselves with the rhythm of life, honoring both our contemplative and active selves.

The Fall Equinox holds space for gratitude, as we give thanks for the abundance and blessings bestowed upon us. It reminds us to cherish the harvest of our labors and the relationships that have nourished our souls. It is a time to honor those who have come before us, acknowledging the interconnectedness of generations.

While the world around us transfigures, the Fall Equinox reminds us that change is inevitable and beautiful. It urges us to surrender to the pull of transformation, recognizing that growth often emerges from embracing the unknown. As the wheel of the seasons turns, we are reminded that life is a perpetual dance of creation, destruction, and rebirth.

So, as the Fall Equinox unfolds, let us attune ourselves to the grace of transition and embrace the balance it offers. Let us gather, share stories and laughter, and find solace in the unity of the human experience. With hearts open to possibilities, we move forward in harmony with the turning tides, knowing that on this day, and every day, the world offers us a chance to revel in the magic of change.

This course gives you the confidence and the know-how to express & cultivate your unique spiritual gifts through journaling and art.

HiveMind Collective - Dr. Bonnie Greenwell PhD – The Impact of Kundalini Activation and Consciousness Shifts in Spiritual Awakening

March 20 @ 1:00 pm EDT - 3:00 pm EDT

Kundalini energy activates profound changes in the body, mind and spirit. It triggers the reorganization of our energy field, and as it evolves, disrupts our sense of self.  When we are able to develop a positive relationship with our awakened energy field, old patterns and beliefs are cleared away and a new openness and quality of presence becomes possible. When we are aligned with the internal process of transformation, we may experience radical changes in our lives and our world view, new creativity, and eventually a deep relaxation into the dynamics of life and death. Most people will face significant challenges in this transformative process before awakening becomes stable. Bonnie will discuss an overview of this process based on her personal experience, and her work with over 3000 experiencers of kundalini, and she will offer suggestions on managing the energy, shifts in consciousness and heightened sensitivity that often accompanies awakening.

Bonnie Greenwell Ph.D is a transpersonal psychotherapist and a non-dual teacher in the lineage of Adyashanti.  She has a rich background in Yogic and Buddhist theory and meditation practice, Holotropic and Radiance breathwork training, Jin Shin Do Acupressure, neo-reichian body therapies, past-life regression and many other transpersonal modalities.  Her kundalini awakening in 1985 led her to write her doctoral dissertation on the kundalini process, and author four subsequent books related to the topic: Energies of Transformation, The Kundalini Guide, The Awakening Guide and When Spirit Leaps: Navigating the Process of Spiritual Awakening. She was a founder and director of the Kundalini Research Network, and has lectured and trained therapists in programs offered by SEN, ATP, IATP, EUROTAS and the Jung Institute in Kusnacht, SW. After meeting Adyashanti she edited his book Emptiness Dancing, and was invited in 2004 to teach non-dual awakening in his lineage. She founded Shanti River Center in Ashland Oregon, and currently offers individual kundalini awakening assessments and webinars through zoom.  Dr. Bonnie Greenwell is an Honoree on the Spiritual Awakenings International “Circle of Honor”, and is an Advisory Board member of Spiritual Awakenings International.  She can be contacted through her websites www.kundaliniguide.com and www.awakeningguide.com.

Spring Equinox Ceremony: Manifesting your Intentions 

Saturday, March 20, 7-8pm Pacific Time, FREE on Zoom Jane de Forest & Laura Bee

The ancients knew that portals & star gates open at certain points in the celestial time clock, when they harnessed the elements & called the forces of nature to their advantage. Why not use this powerful doorway at Spring Equinox to manifest your best intentions. In this class you will learn how the ancients did it, we will create a ceremony & symbolically plant your intentions to blossom and grow beautiful fruit in your future.

Planting By The Moon: Empower Your Garden and Yourself

Earth Day, April 22, 12-1pm Pacific Time, on Zoom FREE
in order to improve your garden’s yield and health there is an ancient system that is governed by the cycles and astrological signs of the moon.

Planting By The Moon - … empower your garden & yourself May 22nd 1pm - 2:30PST  Zoom $10

The cycles of the moon have influenced gardeners and ceremonies from diverse cultures around the world for millennium. While science may not fully understand why planting by the moon works, anecdotal evidence points to the fact that it does. Observing the cycles of the moon and the way that it affects both people and plants can help to determine when to plant in order to improve your garden’s yield and guide your spiritual ceremony.

Can we predict the future? Yes … Shamans and CEOs regularly mine future events for usable information … why? Because it works. We get precognitive information all the time in dreams, a hunch or “garden variety” premonition. Predicting the future is nearly impossible with our conscious-ego mind, which uses the past to project what will happen, but is most often wrong. Statistically, correct information can be extracted with a technique called “Remote Viewing,” by tapping into the collective sub-conscious, our “hive mind.” This program is based in part on the work of cognitive neuroscientist Dr. Mossbridge, check out her book: The Science of Precognition: How Sensing the Future Can Change Your Life, exploring revolutionary new research that shows that sensing the future is possible, and American Psychonaut, Ingo Swann father of Remote Viewing.

Join Jane de Forest for a fascinating series where you will journey one, ten and one hundred years into your future, then discuss your findings with like minded people in a safe environment, Jane will share practical tools and techniques you can use to help gain insight into your own future.

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTIONS

These workshops and classes focus on the terminologies, practical fundamentals of meditation (mindfulness), centering and opening up to your own intuition and creativity. If you are new to these topics, these are a very good place to start your journey. If you live in the Greater Portland/Vancouver area, I hope you will attend a live presentation. I'd love to meet you and work with you in person. Check the list of upcoming events below. If you live elsewhere, you can read about each workshop below and request to sponsor a workshop in your area.

I Knew You Were Going to Say That! Basic Sixth Sense Training

TBD

We only use 10% of our brain, and science no longer believes the remaining 90% is inert and useless. Many speculate the unused grey matter could be mental superpowers yet to be awakened or untapped potential. Jane will introduce a simple program for you to begin exercising the sixth sense we possess to receive and send information beyond the bounds of “normal” communication. Leave with practical tools and an enhanced ability to interpret the gut feelings, signs, and hunches you already experience. 

Teen & Kids Yoga, Mandala and Mindfulness

There is a growing interest in how mindfulness can help children improve attention, calm down make better decisions. Neuroscience studies show that yoga and contemplative practices can change the physical structure of the brain. These ancient practices are the wave of the future in education and can give kids an advantage in school and sports education while modifying behavioral disabilities and anxiety. Self-mastery and creativity development through yoga, mindfulness and art can help our children to overcome obstacles, envision their dreams and thrive throughout their lives.

Mandala means “sacred circle” in Sanskrit. It represents wholeness, connection, unity, harmony and the cycle of life. Tibetan Buddhist Monks and Native American Indians use mandalasto facilitate meditation and are used in sacred ritual for transformation and healing. Psychologist Carl Jung used mandalas  for his own personal growth and his studies revealed their creation allowed a deep healing to take place from within the human psyche. Jane will lead the group in a guided healing meditation and then create a mandala.

Rich with the color and imagery of an artist, we will focus on letting go of what was, and visioning the next step in your life.  Supplies provided to create your own artistic expression afterwards.

I have taught a unique children’s art, mindfulness and creativity curriculum for nearly ten years. Current Workshops include; Mindfulness Meditation, The Science of Practical Intuition, The Art of Transformation and Journey to the Heart. I've also studied for many years with teachers from a variety of mindfulness and spiritual traditions and have had the privilege to journey to many sacred sites from Peru to Egypt.   —Jane

Imagination is the engine that fuels creativity, innovation, intention & manifestation. We are all creative beings, whether we express ourselves through art, music, movement, writing, cooking, gardening, raising children ... to name a few. One thing that great musicians, athletes and inventors all know, is that the best place to achieve excellence, peak performance, is in the “zone”. Guided meditation is one way of focusing the mind & aligning the heart with conscious intent. I hope to see you at my workshop and share this excellent adventure with you. 

“Every child is an artist, the problem is staying an artist when you grow up.” – Pablo Picasso

Being a creative person is our birthright. If you are in good relationship with your inner artist, the part of you that drew pictures & danced around the living room or sang out loud ... you probably feel happy & fulfilled. If you are well connected to your muse, inspiration, you probably feel enthusiastic and infused with vital life force energy. If not, this may be a helpful workshop as a first step. 

“I don’t write consciously—it is as if the muse sits on my shoulder” and “I slip into a state that is apart from reality.”   - Neil Simon

Kundalini Yoga, Guided Meditation and Art Class 

Please join Jas Pal and Jane de Forest for an introductory class appropriate for all levels: 40 minutes of Kundalini yoga, half hour of “web of life” guided meditation and 20 minutes to make art and document your experience!

The mystics tell us that we are interconnected in one web of existence that includes everything … intelligence, wisdom, love and creation ... it is impossible for you be on the outside looking in. But how do we access this knowledge? Ancient cultures developed a process of doing just that … they taught how to achieve enlightenment through a practice that includes breath, chanting, yoga and visualization. This approach of spiritual transformation, “alchemy of the soul,” dates back millennia to the misty past of the Indus Valley, and is known today as Kundalini Yoga.

By allowing your life force energy, that rests coiled at your spine’s base, to rise through all 8 Chakras, your individual mind merges with the infinite consciousness. This ancient technology tells us the most efficient path to self-mastery and enlightenment, is a practice that strengthens the individual’s character, awareness and consciousness, while incorporating all three planes of existence: mental, physical and spiritual.

Jas Pal has taught Kudalini yoga since 1994 both in the states and abroad, and was a long-time student of Yogi Bhajan, a great teacher of truth, wisdom who brought the ancient art of Kundalini Yoga to Los Angeles in 1969 from the area in India that is now Pakistan. Jas is an advanced teacher who is able to distill this practice into a simple approach that makes it easy for the western mind to understand. His positive and humorous outlook is inspirational and has made him a popular instructor among a broad variety of students. http://www.breatheyogavancouver.com/classes/instructors

Jane de Forest has taught her unique intuition, mindfulness and creativity workshop since 2007. She has studied with teachers from a variety of spiritual traditions and has journeyed to many sacred sites from Peru to Egypt.  As a professional artist since 1984 and intuitive and animal communicator since 1996, Jane has inspired business and personal clients all over the world. Her book Heavens Bridge, Heartfelt Communication with Loved Ones and Animals on the Other Side of Life is scheduled out in eBook and hardcover in late fall. www.janesinspiration.com

The Science of Getting Unstuck:  Adventures in Adversity and Living Your Heart’s Desires

Expeditions don’t always go quite according to plan, but the setbacks are what separate the doers from the dreamers. Adventurer and athlete, Mick Bird, knows this all too well.  His sense of humor was sorely challenged when his first and second attempts to row the Pacific both ended prematurely.  Yet Mick’s confrontations with Mother Nature paled in comparison to the battles he waged with his own mind.  Mick will share his entertaining stories (one about sharks!), insights for living your heart’s desire, and the secret of getting unstuck while embarking on your journey. He is joined by local intuitive Jane deForest, who will lead the group in a process of guided meditation, visualization, and art to access the right brain and harness your full power. The participants will leave with practical tools to “get on with it” and live every day. It is almost impossible not to laugh in the company of adventurer and athlete Mick Bird, who has attempted the first solo crossing of the Pacific in a rowboat he built himself. Artist and intuitive Jane de Forest has taught her unique mindfulness, creativity curriculum and children’s art for almost ten years.
