As discussed on our call, we would like to continue with you for 2024, with some exciting changes planned. This continuation is a special offering in acknowledgment of your many years of practice and participation.
It would be great to know by next week if you are interested in this new format and are planning to attend. Since we will need to book travel and rooms it is necessary for us to get an RSVP and sign up by December 31.
We would like to offer you a new hybrid option for 2024 and offer some special in-person meetings again. Here are the dates and some considerations around the curriculum.
Session 1 – February 16 – Zoom 5 hours
Session 2 – June 13 – in person in Amsterdam
Our in-person sessions will be an all day and into the evening event – exact hours to be announced depending on numbers of people attending. This date will be offered the day before a public Women’s Day and the Awakening the Pleasure Body weekend, so there are lots of events happening for those of you who are coming to Amsterdam from abroad.
Session 3 – September 20 – Zoom 5 hours
Session 4 – October 4 – Amsterdam (we will most likely offer a Day event on Oct. 5, plus Portugal Immersion right after)
Your curriculum will align with “The Lineage Immersion”, which we are offering for the wider study groups, and you will once gain access to the main Study Group program as part of your tuition. You will also engage in the Deity Yoga aspects of the main group, layering the deeper practice aspects you have worked with in the past years as well as a continued personalized thread.
Here is the “Lineage Immersion” Study Group announcement that went out to everyone else, which has additional Study Group events and other new event announcements:
With our 2024 events we are offering programs that support each other in both the learning trajectory as well as giving you new fun experiences. Here is an outline of the study group and the supporting events for you:
1.The Lineage Immersion Study Group for 2024
2. Study Group Retreats
3. FREE Study Group Reunion Evening plus Events – June in Amsterdam
4. Other Fun Stuff!
1. The Lineage Immersion Study Group
This year we are going to offer 4 main sessions, each dedicated to a specific Deity. In each session we will explore the story, unique meaning and exalted qualities of the chosen Deity and engage in the various activities of Deity Yoga. This will include merging, subtle body practice, chakras and elemental practices as well as practices I have specifically created for this exploration.
Each session includes practices, instruction, explorations of the deity and personal applications for your life. We will revisit lineage practices like Contentless Movement, visual and ritual engagement and dive deeply into new practices, with an emphasis on devotional disposition, ritual and the expression of your heart.
In addition to the 4 main sessions, this year we will offer 3 dedicated practice calls, in which I will offer guided practices to deepen your explorations in between the main sessions.
4 Main Sessions:
February 17, 2024: Session 1 – Bhuvaneshvari
March 27, 2024: Practice call 1
May 18, 2024: Session 2 – Ardhanari
July 10, 2024: Practice call 2
September 21, 2024: Session 3 – Durga
October 16, 2024: Practice call 3
November 9, 2024: Session 4 – Dhumavati
This group incorporates format elements of previous study groups but offers a new session format and extended deity explorations. As always we will offer all calls in 2 Time Streams to accommodate your time zones.
2. Study Group Retreats
In addition to the online group we will offer dedicated study group retreats next year. These retreats are not mandatory for participation in the online Lineage Immersion, but rather offer an in-person addition for those who want to go deeper and also connect within the community.
Our Portugal retreat this year allowed us to enter quickly and deeply into practices while offering a chance to connect in person and was a definite highlight of 2023! We are offering another Exclusive Study Group Retreat where we will immerse in lineage material together – March 1-6, 2024. There are a few spots left and your discount applies.
Subject to interest, we may also offer a Study Group Only gathering in California in the Fall, you can get on the interest list here.
3. FREE Study Group Reunion Evening plus Events – June in Amsterdam
For the first time in 4+ years we are coming back to Amsterdam and will offer a Women’s Day June 14, Steve will offer a Movement & Meditation event on June 14 as well and we are teaching an “Awakening the Pleasure Body” weekend June 15 & 16.
We will also host a free Study Group evening on June 14 open to all study group participants. We’ll gather for connection, practice, and celebration. Please RSVP here so we know a general group size.
