SELF-TRANSFORMATION FROM A-Z: Workshop Series (Starting Apr 11)

Are you interested in having some fun, while cultivating clarity, mindfulness, and a deeper sense of personal integrity?

In this four-week workshop series led by Stephen D’Amico (spiritual teacher, founder of the Global Awakening Initiative and good friend of mine), we focus on cultivating the core qualities that are essential for personal transformation.

Using a combination of traditional spiritual techniques, lively discussion, and a method called Inquiry, these tools will allow us to understand ourselves better so that we can engage life fully and connect with others more consciously.

To promote sustained change and receive ongoing support as new insights emerge, we will also practice exercises between meetings and discuss our progress/reflections online.

Stephen D’Amico is not aligned with any particular religion, belief system, or spiritual path, though his teachings are in alignment with the universal truths and messages found at the heart of every wisdom tradition. At the core of this perennial philosophy is the importance of assisting the next evolutionary shift into global consciousness, a collective state of enlightenment that will usher in a completely new way of life for humanity.

DATES: Sundays, April 11, 18, and 25, and May 2

TIME: 7–9 p.m.

LOCATION: 6 St. Joseph St., Toronto (one block north of Yonge/Wellesley)

COST: $10/class. To get the most out of this learning series, register for all 4 workshops before April 11 and receive $10 off the total cost of the series (so, $30 instead of $40).

Experience the beauty and exuberance of the Afro-Brazilian art form capoeira, an intriguing blend of dance, martial art, music and ritual.

This workshop is a gentle introduction into the fascinating and rich world of the Afro-Brazilian martial art, capoeira. With origins reaching back to the brutal world of slavery in colonial Brazil, capoeira incorporates elements of African, Indigenous and European cultures. The hypnotizing and joyful music, the camaraderie of the circle, the circular and powerful movements, all lead the body and senses to an experience that is both grounded and deeply spiritual.

Lang Liu has been practising capoeira for over 13 years. She has taught capoeira in Toronto for over 7 years and recently founded the ‘Filhos de Bimba Toronto’ school of capoeira, whose mother school is based in Brazil under the guidance of Master Nenel, son of legendary Master Bimba. Lang is currently writing a thesis at the University of Toronto based on her experiences of capoeira as an embodied form of knowledge with the potential to transform lives.
