KIRTAN is call-and-response
chanting that comes from the Yogic tradition. Sangha is a community
of people who support each other in spiritual growth. The experience
of voices and hearts chanting these rhythms and sounds together carries
us effortlessly into a place of ecstatic awakening, as well as simultaneous
innerstillness. Kirtan led by Harmony Sunshine, Fabrizio and Kevin.
POTLUCK -- please

Spring
- Summer Theme: Nature Unity
Often we envision ourselves a-part from nature, rather
than recognising we are one within Nature. Our spring and summer classes
will be a dedication to the healing and generative forces of Nature
(Gaia) that are continuous within and all around us. Through the sacred
gateways of our body-being we will directly affect healing on the
planet as we contact the inner and outer forces of Nature that unite
us.
Testimonial
Thank you so much for such a wonderful workshop experience this weekend.
You are a wonderful teacher and make everything very understandable
(and fun!). It is so wonderful to have more of an understanding
about why certain practices are more calming/cooling or more energizing/heating
and the relationship to the chakras and Koshas - all terms that I have
heard before in various yoga classes, but have never really understood.
I am looking forward to re-reading my notes and your handouts and integrating
this knowledge.
I want you to know that I am surprised, very touched and honoured that
you would invite to join your program. I had actually looked at your
programs a few weeks ago when I first heard about the Sanctuary, and
was intrigued. I so enjoyed spending the weekend with you, Taro (his
smile just lights up the room) and those lovely, lovely women who I
really enjoyed connecting with during lunch the break.
I would like to stay connected with you and the sanctuary,
and plan to start coming to your Tuesday yoga class and will be interested
in participating in some of the future workshops. I also notice on your
website that you do Ayurveda and marmatherapy - which might be something
I would like to try.
Thank you for adding me to your email list - I received your email about
the Kirtan and hope that I can attend.
With love, respect and gratitude,
Michel
From Erica, a Certified
Yoga Instructor who took Yogatherapy at Pacific Rim College
I learned about Nikki’s Yogatherapy course 2 weeks before finishing
my 250-hour yoga teacher training this summer. It seemed like a logical
progression to take the Yogatherapy course, and the timing was perfect.
Our teacher training was done with a series of teachers; most of whom
I felt had only a surface knowledge of yoga theory, even those with
many years of experience and those who are wonderful, great teachers.
The benefit of having one teacher for the whole Yogatherapy course,
and a teacher who has such a wide depth and breadth of knowledge
as Nikki does, was that she was able to answer all our
questions in detail and share many stories of her experiences. The individual
teachers of our teacher training were able to take us on the first one
or two baby steps of a personal journey, but not to take us any farther,
simply because they did not yet have the skills. Nikki,
however, had the experience, the knowledge and the skills to take us
on many, many steps into deep areas of our individual personal journeys.
And she was there for us every step of the journey, always willing to
give her time, observation and skills to help us when we felt lost or
confused. She usually had the sign post to get us back on track or to
lead us to the next step.
Nikki’s dedication to bringing us a course that challenged us
and kept us engaged, and her ability to deliver the information in a
clear way that she took time to make sure everyone understood, gave
us an education with high standards. She also spends time with everyone
and makes you feel cared for and protected, like a true
spiritual mother. I feel so lucky that I get to spend a full two years
with Nikki, both to learn the knowledge she presents in the courses,
and simply to be in her presence and to resonate with her energy.
