Spiritual Warrior Challenge
November 1st – 10th
Tune your consciousness to Inner peace, resilience and strength this fall, by doing some deep work on yourself. The Spiritual Warrior Challenge is an opportunity to reduce some of the external noise and drop into the vastness of our inner life. At the innermost Self, in the depth of our being, we will find an ocean of love, peace, bliss and ecstasy. Together we will practice yoga, shamanism, strength training and community building in an effort to find clarity among chaos.
The following sequence will be practiced for 10 days in a row, beginning Sunday, November 1st, and go right through Tuesday, November 10th. The practice will be done live- as a community on Zoom at 7pm EST. For those who prefer to do a self practice at an alternate time, there will be a video recording of the sequence for you to stream for the duration of the challenge.
Shower before the start of each practice. Clean your body before you clean your mind.
