In Person Event! Spiritual Practices for Transforming Oppression in America
Anjana Khosla and R.G. Shore, Saturday, June 6, 11:30-2PM, Sliding Scale $25-$50
In America, we are experiencing a culture shaped by fear, division, and our inherited wounds. In order to transform the oppression at the Macro level, we have to be willing to work with the oppression at the Micro level. This workshop invites you to return to the body as a place of transformation. Through conversation and embodied spiritual practices, we will explore how oppression lives not only in the macro, but how oppression shows up within our body, nervous system, and relationships -- (both with others, and ourselves). Together, we will learn to create a safe enough space within our bodies to do the healing work in our communities.
Anjana Khosla is a licensed therapist, speaker, and writer whose work is rooted in liberation, healing justice, and relational transformation. She explores how our identities, bodies, and social context shape our experience of healing and connection, drawing on somatic and relational approaches as well as transformative justice frameworks. In her workshops, she offers a grounded, welcoming space for reflection and conversation, along with practical tools to support deeper self-understanding, accountability in relationships, and pathways toward repair and growth. Her work invites insight, self-trust, and transformation that can be carried into everyday life, across both personal and collective contexts.

In Person Event! Temples of Sound: Interactive Sound Immersion
Sydän Aquacielos & Temples of Sound Guest Player
Next Date Coming Soon! 6:30-7:45PM, Tickets Sliding Scale: $20-$35
Temples of Sound is a living sound practice where bodies, voices, and presence become temples. Each participant contributes to a shared field of resonance, weaving breath, tone, rhythm, and drone into a collective space of clarity, connection, and coherence.
Our bodies are living instruments, carrying memory, vibration, and power. The spaces we gather in become temples themselves, shaped by the care and attention we bring to ourselves and one another. Our mission is to empower sovereignty — supporting people in reconnecting with themselves, each other, and life in ways that allow all beings to thrive.
These events are interactive and participatory. Instruments are shared, and you’re invited to sing or play with us — or simply be and hold presence. There is no right way. Choose your own adventure.
Our Interactive Sound Immersion is an alternative to the passive sound bath. Steady drone tones create a vibrational foundation, and your voice is invited. Singing with the drones drops participants into meditation rapidly and directly, engaging the body at a cellular level. No singing experience is needed — you cannot get it wrong. Authentic presence is the harmony.
We work with 14 crystal singing bowls, harmonium, shruti boxes, shamanic drums, breathwork to open and somatic movement at close to integrate and seal the temples.
This is community-building as healing. We come together in mutual support, honoring each person’s individual process while strengthening the collective field.
Wear comfortable clothes and bring whatever you need to be relaxed for the experience - blanket, pillow, eye mask, etc. We provide yoga mats but you are welcome to bring your own if you prefer.
