Originally in Europe the hedgehog was the original weather-divining animal. When Europeans came to North America the closest animal resembling a hedgehog was the groundhog, therefore it became the chosen weather animal diviner. Groundhog Medicine: Informs you it is time to look into a new area of interest (this may take up to 2 years). Groundhog teaches tenacity, the burrowing of many tunnels reflects the many paths that are available in your life, there are so many options. Resilience, readiness, and resourcefulness can be tapped into during the change. Groundhogs are territorial and will not allow others in their tunnels, know your boundaries and respect others boundaries. Be unafraid to speak your truth, express your needs and your beliefs. Mystery of death without dying is something else they symbolize because of their unconscious state when they are hibernating. #WUVIP happy-groundhog-day

Sacral Chakra - Dance Of Senuality February 21 at 7pm Calgary, AB This multi-modality workshop is more than just dance. It takes place in sacred space by a facilitator with over 20 years of experience in creating sacred circles of healing. The workshop brings out the beautiful inner Goddess that resides in us all. We connect with that part of us, our incredible feminine energy that is beautiful, Divine, and creative. When we connect to the Sacral Chakra and our inner Goddess we connect to our passion, desire, sensuality, sexuality, pleasure, senses, and become a vessel for creativity. For when we connect to our womb space, the space of creation in the physical world, we open wonderful possibilities and potential in ourselves. We will go on a journey to meet our inner Goddess using the element of water. On this journey you may meet a water animal or water guide to assist you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVI5HTuqgCk Chakradance TM uses guided meditation, journeying, conscious movement (dance), mandala art therapy, sharing, and information in a sacred space for the participant to do self-healing. If you are not a dancer, that's okay. You do not have to dance. You can enjoy the experience just as much sitting or laying on the ground during the dance portion. The dance of the sacral chakra can be inspired by the feminine dances found in the Middle East, South America and Hawaii. Dances from these regions celebrated many of the qualities associated with the sacral chakra, including feelings, emotions and sexuality. This sacral dance can be slow and sensual, or flirtatious and erotic, with fluid movements of the hips and lower belly. Throughout this dance one transforms into a gypsy, a belly dancer, an ancient goddess, as we surrender to the serpentine movements of the feminine. If you are shy about dancing in front of others please don't be. The dance portion of the workshop is done in a darkened room and participants are asked to keep their eyes closed or use eye masks. This is done because it increases the participants focus inwards, as this is soulwork. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPpG1MTQ5oo Everyone has their own unique experience and journey during each workshop.

I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something. So that's my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make new mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody's ever made before. Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it isn't good enough, or it isn't perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work, or family, or life. Whatever it is you're scared of doing, DO IT! Make your mistakes, next year and forever. ~Neil Gaiman mistakes-2460576_1920

Base Chakra - Dance Of Mother Earth January 10 @ 7pm Calgary, AB, Canada This is a Chakradance TM workshop from the Awakening Series. Watch this video on Chakradance by Samaria https://youtu.be/tPpG1MTQ5oo The first centre to explore on the Chakra map is the base chakra. The spontaneous movements that emerge while dancing the base chakra tend to draw inspiration from tribal dancing, as found in the indigenous cultures of Africa, Australia and North America. These tribal dances are linked to the issues of the base, including our roots, survival and grounding. In CHAKRADANCE TM, emphasized movements of the legs and feet connect us to the solid earth. Many envisage dancing around an ancient campfire, bringing the primitive tribal dance to life. These ancient cultures also had imitative dances, emulating the movements of animals. Again, we can draw inspiration from these roots and dance in an animal-like way. In this wild and raw animal dance, our innate instinctual self is reclaimed. Watch this video on the Base Chakra https://youtu.be/zqMmowOOLqA This is a holistic healing workshop that uses meditation, journeying, conscious movement (dance), mandala art therapy, specifically attuned music, to achieve a state of awareness and allow healing to begin. We have membership packages available that offer great discounts on our services. To check them out please go to http://www.samariasspiritual.guru/ Another great way to save on Samaria's Chakradance workshops is to purchase the whole Awakening Series.
