Awaken Our Shamanic Voices and Sacred Soul Purpose

presented by Akasa Teng

In the midst of accelerating changes happening at the multi-dimensional levels in our personal and planetary realities, shamanic wisdom and tools can help us realize our sacred soul purpose and our role as a divine living conduit connecting to heaven and earth. In this ceremonial workshop, we will use the ancient Shamanic Technique of Ecstasy, the shamanic vocalization to evoke the shamanic state of consciousness and connect to the Great Spirit. Based on the integration of many shamanic traditions including Taiwanese/Chinese shamanic lineage, Lakota tradition, Celtic shamanism, Amazonian tradition and more, we will enter a sacred ceremony and shamanic voice journey to clarify, reclaim and empower our individual and collective sacred soul purpose for the planetary healing, transformation and empowerment.

About the presenter: Akasa Teng, M.A. Philosophy, Cosmology and Consciousness, is a shamanic sound practitioner, universal sound ceremonialist and interfaith minister who uses shamanic techniques to raise individual and planetary vibrations. Akasa has shared her work internationally including conferences at Society for Shamanic Practitioners, The International Conference of the Study of Shamanism and Alternative Modes of Healing, in Oxford University, and the National Association for Humanity Education in U.C. Berkeley. Akasa recently completed a shamanic journey in the Amazon rainforest.

Financial Intimacy

Presented by Spencer Sherman and Anne Watts

Yet, in every relationship, money becomes an important part of the whole picture. What are your values, fears, hopes and habits around money?

Rise to the Equation
A Special Audio-Visual presentation

Presented by Nassim Haramein

Nassim HarameinQuantum Scientist, Nassim Haramein shows us that his new all-encompassing theory seems to have parallels with ancient codes left in the world’s oldest documents and monuments. These include the Bible, the Koran, the Torah, the I Ching, the Mayan Tzolkn, and the ancient pyramids and temples around the world. Much like the path taken by Isaac Newton, Haramein’s theory was influenced by his exhaustive study of ancient civilizations, which revealed that they already possessed this knowledge and used it to accomplish many unexplained feats, such as building the Pyramids and constructing Stonehenge. Haramein’s work has far-reaching implications for all fields of scientific enquiry from theoretical physics, cosmology, quantum mechanics, biology, geology and chemistry, archaeology and anthropology as well as fundamental answers to the nature of consciousness.

Singing the Sacred Road
An intimate sharing with Sheila Chandra

Shelia ChandraJoin internationally acclaimed singer Sheila Chandra as she shares moments from her life’s journey with sacred sound. Her breathtaking vocals and unusual approach to songwriting have distinguished her as a world-class talent if not quite a household name. She began her career at 16, fronting the internationally acclaimed Anglo-Asian synth-pop outfit Monsoon. From there, she established herself as a solo artist, tapping into her Indian ancestry for both musical and spiritual inspiration, and creating exotic works that wove wordless vocals with dreamy raga-like synthesized sounds. She was championed by Peter Gabriel, who released four of her albums on his Real World label. Since then she has sold hundreds of thousands of albums and has performed worldwide.

Join Sheila Chandra for a rare and intimate appearance on Sunday afternoon in the Temple dome, where she will share stories from her life's journey with sacred music. She will also perform on Sunday night in the electronica dome.
