Events


One of the primary intentions of Kula is to offer our community a sacred space dedicated to both self exploration and self expression. In this spirit we regularly offer single day and weekend workshops as well as 4-6 week workshop series focusing on a array of spiritual disciples and creative arts programs. Yoga workshops offer a way for practitioners to deepen their studentship through a more in-depth focus than a drop-in class allows. Our creative arts workshops are designed to support you in becoming fully self expressed whether that be through creative writing, drawing, painting, drumming or learning improv comedy amongst many other offerings.

Compassionate Communication: Cultivating Peace and Connection through Authentic Dialogue with Lynn Komlenic
Saturday, June 22nd ~ 1pm - 4pm
$35 in advance, $40 at the door

As yogis, we understand that the practice of ahimsa, the avoidance of verbal and physical violence, and the offering of kindness towards all living beings, is a necessary undertaking on our path of awakening. Few of us, however, have been taught to speak in ways that inspire cooperation, connection, love and peace. In fact, we live in a world that teaches us to judge, blame, criticize, and to think in terms of right and wrong. Compassionate Communication, also known as Nonviolent Communication (NVC), provides a proven 4-Step Communication Process for cultivating more conscious, connected, loving relationships. In this practical and empowering 3-hour workshop, you will learn how to: dentify and free yourself from the core causes of emotional pain and upset, respond with grace and love in the face of judgments and criticisms, recognize what you truly want in any situation, and how to ask for it, speak authentically in a way that inspires deeper connections and more harmonious relatedness. Compassionate Communication is an extraordinary process that liberates us from painful cycles of relating so that we can experience the joy of living now. Lynn has served as a life coach for individuals, couples and groups for 10 years, and a communications coach for nearly four years since first meeting Marshall Rosenberg in 2005. She is a committed yogi on a path of true freedom, and is passionate about helping people speak and live from the heart.

Warriors of Wisdom: Awakening to Authentic Power
with Master Teacher Anand Mehrotra
Saturday, August 3rd ~ 1pm - 4pm
$50

A warrior is not one who takes up weapons, but is one who has come a deep state of nonviolence in his or her psyche; a warrior of wisdom. These times require a fierce presence and a deep commitment, because the temptations of inner violence and external violence are aplenty: defenses and escape mechanisms, seeking and striving. Yet as we realize that we are not individuals separate from the whole, but that the whole cosmos is working through us we connect to limitless energy, immense passion, and authentic power. Then life is not coming at us; we, with the whole cosmos, are coming to life. Sattva Yoga, founded by Master Teacher Anand Mehrotra, is a holistic, ever-evolving yoga practice that incorporates asana, kriya, meditation, mantra, wisdom, and free movement to allow each student to experience radical aliveness and transformation. This workshop will include a wisdom talk and a Sattva Yoga journey suitable for all levels. Please dress for movement and bring a journal and a pen.
