Saturday, January 14th.

10:00 - 12:30

Architecture of Humanity is pleased to host an AoH Leslie and Friends event!

Please join Maggi and Leslie in a deeply transformational practice in the AoH yurt that will move you through the koshas (layers) of the body through: yoga Asana (movement), Pranayama (breath work and expansion of life-force energy), Kula (connection) and Dhyana (meditation).

2023 is the year of healing; a coming into wholeness that is our birthright. Consider this practice a portal into the profound potential your body holds to move towards your bespoke illuminated state. This is a traditional yoga class that incorporates the vastness of the yogic teachings beyond movement. Experience or catch a glimpse of your True Essence; the You underneath the veil of external conditioning. Feel into Samadhi: a perfectly still, clear, tranquil state of mind. Join our community and collectively potentiate your primordial pool of intelligence.

We will begin our practice with readings from yogic texts, move on to breathwork, then movement and end our day with a delicious yoga Nidra meditation (guided body-based meditation). This practice is for everyone. However, our sankalpa (intention) is to get tapas (heat) and Agni (fire) ignited in observance of cleansing the body and purifying the mind.

Please be prepared for a demanding practice.

There are two payment options for this event, $57 or $39, please choose that which aligns with you.

Event info TBD.

A rare evening presented by Architecture of Humanity.

Greg Douglas…For those of you who do not know this name and have not had the pleasure of experiencing his gifts live, you will want to experience this!

We could go on about Greg’s musical background: touring with Steve Miller, co-writing Jungle Love, touring with Van Morrison and Eddie Money — to name a few. His yesterdays are filled with collaborations and friendships with rock legends! Even more impressive, is Greg’s todays. At 72, he still shreds!

But far deeper than that, he has stories and perspectives that reflect a life lived fully, sometimes right on the ledge. He still has a great passion for playing music and performing. He gives his time and effort to organizations with great purpose. And he loves his wife Jeri!

In true AoH fashion, we are going to go deep — into the music, into being rock ‘n’ roll royalty in the 70’s, and into creating a meaningful and multidimensional legacy beyond the guitar.

Inside the sacred space of the AoH Yurt there is magic. This evening will surely be overflowing with IT!

Tickets are $33 per person payable through Venmo to @Leslie-Boyd-2.

Only 45 tickets available.

Arrive at 6:00-6:45, show starts promptly at 7:00.

Now that we have passed through the seasonal celebrations of the light, at the Summer Solstice, let us now focus our attention on the ever increasing darkness of the night. Each night grows longer in length, extending to us all the opportunity to still ourselves, look within, intuit and feel into that which we need to know and learn. In this Sunset Gong Meditation we initiate a daily ritual of attending to the growing darkness of night by activating the intention of awakening to our essential true light-bodied selves.

Hummingbird Sound Healers is a modern application of ancient sound healing practices drawn from all the world traditions. The meditation is designed to ease the body and mind into deep restfulness while simultaneously awakening the inner dreamer, visionary Self whom we all know to be our True Selves. Practitioners Yumi Yasuhara and Daniel Ide will be guiding and facilitating this awakening process for the benefit of all in reverence to all our relations. It is believed that we are always on the brink of remembering who we are, where we have come from and what is the purpose of our being. It is truly an inner journey of outer awareness.

Tickets are $36 per person payable to @Leslie-Boyd-2 on Venmo.

Max.: 15 people

Let us not to forget that we are undergoing the process of thawing out from a collective freeze. Underneath this freeze state contains the energy of multiple survival responses that are reverberating deep within our nervous systems.

More than that, this “thawing out” state is activating traumas that are held in complexes. The originating traumas are often laid down in the first two years of life. So, many of us are attempting to cope with triggered states - right in this moment - that are decades old.

More now than ever do we need practices and tools that hold our biology and psychology in a sacred space. It is critical that we learn tools allow us to befriend our survival responses, shadows and personas created from unprocessed traumas.

In our next Sisters of the Forest gathering, we will enter into part 2 of “The AoH work.” These are embodiment practices that allow us to gently and slowly build capacity to withstand and bring to consciousness the stuck energy that trauma creates.

Specifically, these practices are called pendulation and titration. We will practice these concepts through yoga movement and breath, then we will learn them via lecture and then we will learn somatic integration embodiment practices enabling us to lay new pathways in our nervous systems.

Tickets are $72 per person without membership.

Honoring the Shadow with Kate Greer Dickson

There is more than one quote about the shadow leading us to the light, however the shadow also contains a light side. Untapped reserves, strength, and wisdom also reside in our unconscious, and in our physical bodies. Please join us for an exploration of tapping into inner light through chanting, an introductory practice of Shadow Yoga, and a somatic meditation exploring the shadow.

Shadow Yoga is a school of Hatha Yoga which emphasizes freeing stagnation in the body, and therefore on multiple levels, to improve circulation of energy. In style, it may resemble other eastern practices, such as Qi Gong, more than the way Yoga is practiced popularly in the west. Kate will offer some simple and gentle introductory movements, as well as some more fiery ones, which can be taken at a level appropriate for you.

Kate’s background in depth psychology, in the tradition of Carl G. Jung, as well as her scholarly writing have included Shadow work and considering that the unconscious holds not only our greatest saboteurs, but perhaps our heroes as well. In addition, Kate’s background as a practitioner and scholar of Buddhism, gives a different perspective on working with the shadow, namely approaching any obstructions or self destructive patterns with unconditional love.

Tickets are $35 per person. Payment via Venmo to @Leslie-Boyd-2. Max: 18 people.
