Friday Workshop

Playing with Fire: Daring to Change Yourself and Your Communities
Friday, 3:30-5pm

What is the ignited frequency of wholeness, well-being, and freedom? What does it sound like individually and collectively?

This workshop will explore this frequency through many portals and perspectives that will leave you with evidence to support the universal reality of this liberating sound in the diverse modalities that are ancient and active in our midst.

* Exercises to Connect with Self and Others – as true wholeness happens in private and in relationships.
* Sample of some of the many spiritual practices – “fires” – described in Roger’s book “Discovering Fire.”
* Assess what’s most important and true to you and your ideal vision for personal and shared spirituality/religion. Do you believe personal and/or shared spirituality and religion are integral to wholeness? Why? Why not? You will walk away with a clarified vision of what these are at their best.
* Experience being Storms; Sacred Singing in Latin, English, and Tagalog; the power of Poetry; and being Empowered to Occupy and Transform Religious and Spiritual traditions as holy Fire-Tenders within!

Sunday  Presentation

Holy Yogi Jesus was a Walrus and So are YOU!
Sunday, 10:00am, Insight Tent

This presentation offers a deep and compassionate inquiry into the divisions we create—within ourselves and with one another. Together, we will explore the often unconscious splits between “spiritual” and “religious,” “soul” and “mind,” sacred and ordinary. Rather than reinforcing these separations, we will cultivate a generous curiosity about the many ways Spirit—Divinity, Life Force—moves through human experience.
Through guided reflection and dialogue, we will re-examine inherited ideas of “salvation,” reclaiming the word as a living experience of wholeness rather than exclusion. Participants will be invited into a more integrated understanding of self and world—where contemplation and cognition, devotion and discernment, mysticism and meaning-making belong together.
This is an invitation to reclaim union: not through bypassing difference, but through embracing the profound coherence already at work beneath it.

Friday Workshop

Preparing the Body to Receive Sound
2-3:30pm

Sound is deeply regulating, but only when the body feels ready to receive it. It is common, especially early in a person’s relationship with sound-based practices, to notice the body become restless, numb, tense, or distracted during sound baths, kirtan, or meditation. Rather than viewing these responses as obstacles, this workshop reframes them as intelligent protective signals from the nervous system. In this experiential 90-minute workshop, Gina Fontaine guides participants in recognizing and working with these signals by preparing the body first. Drawing from principles of physical alignment, orientation, and nervous system safety, participants explore how subtle changes in posture, stance, and organization can create the conditions for deeper receptivity – without force, effort, or “trying to relax.” The workshop explores: Common physical holding patterns that limit receptivity Simple, grounded practices that support nervous system ease Why preparation, not stimulation, is often the missing step Rather than adding more input, this workshop emphasizes less doing and more allowing, helping the body settle so the brain can naturally become more receptive. This session is designed for sound enthusiasts, yogis, and practitioners alike. No prior experience is required. Participants will leave with practical tools they can use before sound-based practices, along with a deeper understanding of the body as the gateway to calm, integration, and meaningful sound experiences.

Saturday Presentation

How the Brain Experiences Sound

1:45pm, Insight Tent

Sound is one of the most direct ways to influence the brain. Rhythm, frequency, and timing interact with the brain’s pattern-recognition systems, shaping attention and perception within minutes.
 
This educational presentation explores why sound is such an effective modality for nervous system regulation. Participants will learn how repetition and predictability support neural synchronization, how auditory input influences brainwaves, and why readiness shapes how sound is received.
 
We will examine why the same sound experience can feel settling for one person and stimulating for another, and what conditions support meaningful integration rather than temporary state shifts.
 
Participants will gain a clear, science-informed framework for understanding sound as neurological input. The session will also introduce how closed-loop auditory feedback, as used in Cereset, reflects the brain’s own activity back to itself to support self-calibration.
 
This presentation is designed for practitioners and enthusiasts seeking a grounded understanding of why sound works and how to deepen its regulatory impact.
