Feel into your body, mind and spirit as the days get shorter and darker with yin & SLOW yoga, AND go deeper into our minds with guided transcendental breath work.

Our practice will be about progressive darkness in balance with the light in our hearts.

The Goddess Gala

Reconnect. Rejoice. Reclaim.

I am so excited to be the Ecstatic Dance DJ for the GODDESS GALA. I hope you can come, dress like a goddess and get into your pleasure body with us!

Love, Earth G Koreen

a note from Sara, the Creator of this event:

Dear Radiant Sister,

Welcome to The Goddess Gala, an evening dedicated to rediscovering the joy and power of simply being you.

Imagine a gathering that isn't about competition, small talk or goals, but about embracing the full experience of being alive, together in community.

Embrace the Extraordinary

We live in a time when productivity is valued more highly than pleasure.

We often feel that there is a choice to save the world OR savor the world. What if you could do both? What if the key to open for more is pleasure and sisterhood?

This isn't just another event; it's a reawakening of what's wild and joyful within you, a night to reconnect with your inner Goddess and the collective power of women.

Here's What to Expect:

- Time: 7:30 PM – 10:30 PM

- Venue: The Modus Locus Expansion Space: a sanctuary that bridges the familiar with the unexpected

- Dress Code: Come as you feel most powerful, beautiful, and comfortable

- Admission: $40 (Pre-pay to secure your sacred space, limited door sales)

A Night of Reclamation and Joy:

From pleasure hunts to door prizes, every moment of the evening is designed for fun, celebration and nourishment.

Enjoy without the usual small talk—no discussions about jobs, living situations, or backgrounds. Tonight, we delve deeper.

Enjoy themed mocktails and handmade chocolates crafted to delight and refresh.

Move your body or relax with a guided ecstatic dance session.

Our culture wants us to shove everything down and say, “I am good, I am fine.” What if we lived in a way that we will do anything but that? We may not be able to reclaim the whole of who we are in one three-hour evening, but what if tomorrow you felt different in your body than how you did today?

Let’s remember our beauty, our wisdom, our fire and our personal power.

With anticipation,

The Creator,

Sara Czerwinski

Celebrate the darkness, the Equinox, and nature with us! We look to the moon for our thematic DARK Yoga and breathwork concert with giant gongs, live instruments & drone and a guided journey deep into the womb of creation and back into your skin in the here and now.

As we embark on this vibrational healing journey, with many giant gongs, and a long deep sound bath, we will feel into our shadows and brace the darkness of the season. Feel into your body, mind and spirit as the days get shorter and darker with yin & SLOW yoga, AND go deeper into our minds with guided transcendental breath work.

We dive into emotions and the space between breath as well as our own cycles, life, emotions, love, bliss, summer, winter, fall.

With loving awareness.

With:

-Yoga Teacher & breathwork guide, Koreen V.

-Frank DeCristina, "The Gong Guy" on the Giant Gongs and sound instruments

-Nathanial Tuna also on the gongs and good vibes.

Our practice will be about progressive darkness in balance with the light in our hearts. This will be literal, as the room will become darker and darker and we will be using blindfolds to go even deeper into sensory deprivation, to heighten our other senses to feel into light, vibration, healing. And it will be figurative, as you are guided on your own creative journey in your mind's eye during the soundscape with an option to blindfold to go deeper.

Diving into intuition, dreams, feeling into the body, the mind, & the spirit with loving awareness.

Once again, we hope you can join Koreen Valdovinos (Earth Goddess Yogini of Open Minds Fusion studio), and Frank DiCristina Harmonic Sound Therapist and Instructor “the Gong Guy,” sound healer with and epic collections of gongs, singing bowls and so much more..).

And Hand Pans and drums from with Musician, David. Drone & singing bowls by Koreen. And with surprise guests & instruments.

More infö for seekers:

This is a journey. We start with a slow guided movement, and then slide into stillness alongside a deep & vibrational Gongs & sounds bath w singing bowls & other healing sound instruments. Yin, & slow fluid movement and stretching included. All levels. Experience your breath, body, mind and darkness to celebrate and integrate the season.

Let yourself be guided through postures and breath techniques. All levels and yoga experience optional. Easy to follow and options to all abilities. From slow flow to long reclining yin yoga poses, and some intuitive movement.

Absorb healing sounds. Feel it in your bones! The soundscape will be full of depth and feeling - mountain peaks of vibrations, drone into feelings of balance like a ship on a calm sea. Watch where you mind takes you. This is the kind of sound you can feel in your bones and has potential for deep healing. Therapeutic sound impacts our nervous system, slowing the heart, brain and respiratory rates down to induce a state of deep relaxation and peace. When the brain waves and body are synchronised, balance can be restored and stress relieved.

We will end class with lights and candles slowly being lit. Reemerging from the dark.

You will be guided back to the light and your sense of sight. At this time you will have an opportunity to grab your journal to sketch, write, process and integrate your journey, your insights, and your heart's desire for the autumn cycle we are entering, riding upon our Mother Earth ship - Fall.

Why? Connecting to the darkness, and remaining open, welcoming all it has to teach is a very powerful skill to harness your full life-force & potential. Our knee jerk reaction is to turn on a light, to flee the darkness, to 'fix' any sense of discomfort we experience, But what if we sit into it. Instead of asking yourself what can we do to be better, what if we sit with how it is, exactly as it is now?!?!

Remember, as Pema Chrodron said, You are the sky, everything else is just the weather.

Chair Dance Yoga

Wednesday, Sept 11 - 630pm

Not your usual chair yoga class. Chair yoga is accessible, adaptable yoga using a chair. AND in this class we level up and layer in chair dance, kundalini yoga and more! 

Created for all levels, this gentle class will still challenge your flexibility, balance and strength …no matter where you are at. Every pose and move given will have options/ modifications for all bodies and mobilities. You can choose the flow that fits you 

Using a chair to ease pressure on your joints, but also as a tool for going much deeper into asanas when you have a little support. 

 I am talking to anyone who knows that your body can do so much with a little extra love and support. 

Do you want to stay strong, feel sexy & relish the feeling of being alive? We got you! 

This playful workshop is a great way to spend an evening with old and new friends. 

This class is for anyone who may have trouble kneeling or folding or balancing alone -or who may want to move slower and more deliberately - it is also designed for sisters who have different levels of mobility and really want a healthy girl’s night out. 

You may have shoulder or back issues that may prevent you from taking power yoga, or vinyasa classes, but you want to move and flow in adaptable ways where you can feel your heart beat and tune into the power and beauty of your body! 

MAYBE you don’t have any mobility issues but want to feel deeply into somatic movement & explore chair dance mixed with yoga simply to gain flexibility and balance. A chair can help every asana to be felt & understood in new ways. Beneficial for all levels! 

WEDNESDAY SEPT 11 at 630pm

Drop your preconceived notions about chair yoga, as we add in chair dance, sensual movement, and real challenges that will excite your senses. 

Price: sliding scale $15-$35 (Suggested $20)

MORE INFO: 

First we will move you through some somatic slow yoga movement and a simple all-level chair yoga sequence. Then we take what we learned and bring in some fluid movement that has elements of chair dance. 

We will deeply connect to ourselves, our skin, and deep listening. 

2nd half of class: We will also connect with each other with rhythm and simple, fun, sexy sequences that can be built upon to suit everybody. Some poses you might find the chair helps you go deeper than you ever could. You might find that you body loves smaller or bigger movements with support. Simple and advanced options will be provided. 

In the low lit studio, we will love our bodies in community. We will adore ourselves, banish shame, and experience expansive self-love!, playfulness, and laughter 

——————
About the teachers & their philosophy for this class. 

When We created this class, I had in mind my sexy friend who broke an ankle this summer and who can’t work out in the ways she used to. And a student who just can’t get all the way up and down from a mat easily. I thought about my friend who hopes to have hip surgery soon, but her mobility was limited even though she had been practicing power yoga for many years. I keep in mind my own fluctuating body and the desire to care for my joints(!), but also desire to feel strong & to flow in a way that makes me feel good in my skin. I think about my own knees and when I couldn’t kneel even in table top after a roller derby injury. I think about all the shoulder issues many of us experience that make plank pose and chatarunga dangerous and unhelpful for healing. 

I think about the toll these mobility issues take not just on our body, but our emotional health. 

And I think about how good it feels when we take the pressure off! Take the pressure off your knees, your back! Notice how you can feel successful in balancing pose with the right tools. 

The the pressure off your self mentally as well. As we practice our fitness and move in a room of beautiful unique bodies. 

And in the spirit of yoga, we connect mind-body-spirit. 

We use the chair as a tool in in this yoga workshop, and as a prop to play & dance with.

 Angela Ogle, RYT has been teaching Chair yoga for over 5 years and has been traveling the world teaching various styles of yoga. She has experience working with students of all ages and bodies of differing abilities.

 Koreen Valdovinos, is the Creator of Earth Goddess Yoga, used to teach hot yoga and Buti Yoga. But now loves bringing in intuitive, primal movement into her rhythmic yoga classes. She is also a Thai yoga body worker and Conscious Dance DJ and Guide.

So what’s shadow work?

Shadow work explores the unconscious reasons behind your feelings or behaviors, particularly uncomfortable emotions that seem out of character or beyond your control. Jung described the shadow as “the thing a person has no wish to be” or our “blind spots.”

Shadow work is the process of identifying your shadow - commonly known as the “dark side,”- embracing and integrating it instead of avoiding, rejecting, or dismissing it.

-->Have you ever felt like the term, “shadow work” has some kind of weird, illusive, mysterious, “what does that even mean” feel?
-->Have you ever wondered what the process of “shadow work” actually looks like?
-->Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the amount of “shadows” you have to process, and you aren’t sure where to start?

You’re not alone.
We felt the same way, and that is why we created this workshop for YOU.

In this workshop, we are breaking it way down.
In a kinky, playful, somatic way.
Shadow work doesn’t have to be this big, dark, overwhelming process where you have to unravel the whole ball of yarn that you feel is your life.
It can be simpler than that.
We want to show you how.

Cool….Okay….so, why is shadow work important?

When we embrace our shadow (aka the hidden or “darker” aspects of ourselves we don’t show the world for fear of being judged or misperceived) there is gold on the other side.

We dance with the shadow to honor and embrace the wholeness, and messiness of our humanity. To stop bypassing, repressing, and avoiding the crunchy parts. We dance with the shadow to illuminate what parts of ourselves that need healing.

There is GOLD in the shadow.

So you have the what and the why, here is the how →

Imagine this:

A safe, judgment-free space with other women.
Small group container.
Juicy, guided somatic practices.
Authentic, and vulnerable conversation.
2 embodied facilitators.
We are going to get real in this workshop.
You will leave feeling empowered with tools to be in relationship with and uncover your shadow.
You will be tenderly held, and lovingly witnessed in the parts of you that you might hide under a mask.
It’s time for us to get together and discuss what we feel is holding us back. Maybe share some things that were left unsaid.

Let's celebrate each other in our shadows.

Celebrate the Solstice and the arrival of summer! The solstice marks the day of the year with the most daylight, and the turning towards the shortening of days and longer and longer nights.

Alongside the celebrations of light, we bring the honoring of night and DARKNESS !!!... of mystery & dreams. we celebrate the seeds that need dark rich soil to germinate and the darkness of the womb.

Thematic DARK Yoga and breathwork concert with giant gongs, live instruments & dark drone. A guided journey deep into the womb of creation and back into your skin in the here and now.

Feel into your body, mind and spirit and the 5D SOUNDSCAPE as the days get shorter and darker with yin & SLOW yoga, AND go deeper into our minds with guided transcendental breath work.

Our practice will be about progressive darkness in balance with the light in our hearts.

This will be literal, as the room will become darker and darker and we will be using blindfolds to go even deeper into sensory deprivation, to heighten our other senses to feel into light, vibration, healing. And it will be figurative, as you are guided on your own creative journey in your mind's eye during the soundscape with an option to blindfold to go deeper.

Expect a giant long yummy gong bath. Many giant gongs and multiple sound healers with various instruments to 5D landscape sensation.

---------------
More info for seekers:
This is a journey.

- We start with a sloooow guided yoga. We transition into building heat with asana and somatic shaking.

- Be guided into breathwork rhythms curated to assist with opening pathways for intuitive insight, create balance and reduce stress or anxiety.

- Slide into stillness alongside a deep & vibrational Gongs & sound bath w singing bowls & other healing sound instruments.

deeper info:

Experience your breath, body, mind and darkness to celebrate and integrate the season.
Let yourself be guided through postures and breath techniques. Experience their effects as you absorb healing sounds. The soundscape will be full of depth and feeling - mountain peaks of vibrations, drone into feelings of balance like a ship on a calm sea. Watch where you mind takes you.

This is the kind of sound you can feel in your bones and has potential for deep healing. Therapeutic sound impacts our nervous system, slowing the heart, brain and respiratory rates down to induce a state of deep relaxation and peace. When the brain waves and body are synchronised, balance can be restored and stress relieved.

We will end class with candles slowly being lit, sage being lit, curtains opening and leaving as the sun sets above Mississippi River in front of the building.

You will be guided back to the light and your sense of sight. At this time you will have an opportunity to grab your journal to sketch, write, process and integrate your journey, your insights.

Why? Connecting to the darkness, and remaining open, welcoming all it has to teach is a very powerful skill to harness your full life-force & potential.

Our knee jerk reaction is to turn on a light, to flee the darkness, to 'fix' any sense of discomfort we experience, But what if we sit into it. Instead of asking yourself what can we do to be better, what if we sit with how it is, exactly as it is now?!?!

Soften in your body, build heat with spirals and the rhythms that call to you.

A vinyasa like flow & practice …based in the yogini practices of circles and sharing. Where you can be free to be you in your highest form and without trying to fit your body into boxes and shapes that were never meant for you to be stuffed into. …This is the philosophy behind Earth Goddess Yoga.

Ritual & Embodiment PLAYshop for Fibromyalgia, Chronic Pain & Fatigue

45 minutes of ritual + 45 minutes of embodied movement. We’ll open with a gentle sound bowl meditation to ground and center, then do a card pull, some journaling, EFT, and intentional & sensual touch and body writing. Then into a quick yoga nidra trance and then slow guided embodiment. Come to connect with and love yourself deeply. Come to release emotional, physical, and spiritual pain. Come to integrate and find wholeness again.

Bring a yoga mat, a blanket/pillow if you prefer, and a journal.

Tea & snacks will be provided.

EFT:

EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques. It is an energy psychology tool where we tap on acupuncture points, addressing the mental emotional and energy aspects of an issue simultaneously, to find long term, often permanent, relief. As we tap and talk, we send vibrations through our energy body to clear away the thoughts, emotions, and sensations connected to pain.

Ritualistic Sensual Body Writing:

Using a selenite pencil, we will write affirmations and love notes to our body on our skin. Selenite is a master healer, cleanser, and manifestor. Write to release pain and integrate a new relationship you want to have with your body and the symptoms you experience.

Yoga Nidra & Embodiment:

Slow down and drop into deep presence with yourself and your body. Pay attention to yourself and the sensations you feel in a way you never have before. Let the sensations move you, rather than your mind. We will drop out of our minds and sink deep into our bodies with yoga nidra, then slowly start to move and wiggle around on the floor. Using sensual touch to bring loving awareness to pain points and the parts of ourselves that have been deeply rejected, neglected, and ignored.

Talk to me if you are in need of yoga AND sliding scale options after class. I got you.

Open Minds Fusion Studio in collaboration with Alexandra Kerlin from Zandra's Healing Arts and Koreen Valdovinos presents: TRANSMUTATION.

THE WHY:

We are in an epidemic.
Of people not feeling safe in their bodies.
Many of us don’t feel safe in relationships or in our community.
We have lost touch with ourselves. With the land we walk upon on.
It's breaking us.

One of the reasons we feel so unsafe is because of all of the repressed emotions we carry.
We don’t know how to talk about our pain.
We don’t know how to feel our pain.
We don’t know how to transmute our pain.
Despite all of the access we have to each other, we are more disconnected than ever before.
Do you feel the shift happening all around us?
Now, more than ever it’s time for us to come together and learn how heal in the community.
To reconnect with our bodies.
To rebuild safety, bone by bone, brick by brick.
We invite you to a workshop that might be unlike anything you have attended before.
That’s because we have been behind the scenes - building a felt sense of safety in our bodies - to share these life-changing tools with you.
We want to share a transformational experience with you.
We want to show you what is possible.
Lets transmute.

THE VISION:

This is a unique offering. Imagine ritual meets somatics meets embodied movement meets authentic relating meets emotional processing. A safety rage workshop!

We will be dropping deep into our bodies and creating a felt sense of safety. We will move in ways that honor the wisdom of the body. We will learn about a venting practice to find safety in relationships. We will be guided through a powerful clearing and healing ritual.

We are inviting energetic leaders, changemakers, healers, space holders, visionaries, medicine workers, creatives, movers, shakers, and people who want to make the world a better place to come to this workshop. It’s time for us to come together and level up.

Come if you want to land a deeper felt sense of safety in your body. Come if you want to learn about progressive communication skills. Come if you want to clear out some repressed emotional baggage. Come if you want to learn how to heal in community.
Come if you are curious.
Come if any tiny part of this resonates.

THE DETAILS:

When: Saturday, May 11, from 2-5. Doors open at 1:30.

How to enter: You will be entering a sacred space, so please remain quiet and be ready to drop into your body.

What to bring: A yoga mat, a water bottle, and comfortable clothes to wear.

Where: Location: A-Mill Artist Loft Dance Studio
315 SE Main St Minneapolis MN 55414

Cost: Early bird register before May 1: $55. Registration after May 1: $:85.
