Mini-Retreat: “Cultivating Love”

Join us for an inspirational online experience at Enlighten Up! Mini Retreat, “Cultivating Love." Take some time to focus on what matters to you most, and immerse yourself in a day of supportive community, and practices to support the changes you want to make in 2025. In this virtual Retreat, we will open sacred sharing circles to help you reconnect to your truest self, and Enlighten Up! We will activate our energy centers with Wake-Up! & Dance and spend time creating a manifestation board to help ground your intention for the year. See you there! ~Swara

Why Attend?

At the beginning of every year, it’s common to make a New Year’s resolution. If I were to press in, I’m certain we could all agree that we’d all like to experience more love in our lives in 2025. It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of. When we tap into love from within through meditation, we become inspired to make changes as an act of self love. How many times have you vowed to loose weight, or make more money for your New Year’s resolution? Then, when it doesn’t manifest the way we want it to, we judge ourselves as a failed or some form of, “not good enough.” Here’s a secret: most of us struggle with some form of unworthiness. In fact, Worldwide, it is estimated that approximately 85% of the population suffers from low self-esteem. Don’t take my word for it - Google it. At the same time, without a strong sense of self-worth, it’s practically impossible to achieve forward movement into the life we want. Ultimately, we’re all in the same boat. At the core, we all want to love and be loved. When we explore why we want to make changes, we’re more likely to succeed. I can’t think of a better reason to make changes in our lives, than to cultivate more love; in our lives, and in the world at large. This year, why not focus on cultivating more love in your life for 5 1/2 hours during an online mini-retreat? Take the day to focus on what you really want out of 2025.

What You Will Experience

• Sacred Sharing Circles: There IS joy to experience as we come together and practice the gift of being authentic. When we hear others share from their heart space, we naturally open our hearts and find words to describe our life experience too. True authenticity takes practice.
• Activate Our Energy Centers in Meditation: Wake-Up! & Dance is a one-hour ecstatic dance and stillness meditation we will learn and practice together. Tap into the 10 energy centers we activate in meditation and see how meditation can transform the way you see yourself and your relationship to life.
• Create a Manifestation Board/Altar: We will infuse a few different practices for manifesting abundance of the qualities we want more of in our life through crafting a manifestation board and/or altar.

Is This for You?

• Do you still believe in true love? The kind of love that wells up from within, not dependent on another person, thing, or set of circumstances?
• Are you ready to have a breakthrough, and open up to an existential shift for the better?
• Are you disillusioned by traditional religions and dangerous cults, but want to practice meditation to go deeper into your connection with God, Spirit or however you relate to that?

What You'll Receive

In this Mini-Retreat, you will:

• Learn how meditation can help you tap into profound states of consciousness - even if you have a hard time sitting still
• Learn how to activate your chakras and energy centers
• Engage in an act of self-love—this time is for YOU!
• Get inspired to make some changes you’ve been wanting to make
• Find a safe and supportive meditation community
• Hear about community opportunities
  

Meet Your Facilitator

Hi, I’m Swara, musician, DJ, and meditation yogi. I’m a survivor. If you’re alive on planet Earth at this time in history, most likely you’re a survivor too. The anguish that has accompanied the loss in my life has literally taken my breath away. Fortunately, with more than 30 years of energy work cultivated through studying yogic teachings and practices with a living spiritual master*, I have the tools I need to move this grief through transformational meditation. Now, I want to share these tools with you. I have learned to alchemize the deepest heart pain into compassion, empathy, forgiveness, and yes, even gratitude. The practice of activating energy centers, moving energy in our physical, emotional and energy bodies, then sitting in stillness heals our individual and collective energy fields; instead of allowing negativity and judgements to fester and metastasize. I channel the energy of *Kalindi La Gourasana, with whom I worked with personally for 17 years before her passing in 2010. I’m here to help deliver important guidance for humanity at this time in history, and show everyday folk how to develop a passion for meditation.
