BOLO • Embodied Bhakti with DJ Drez
Janet Stone & DJ Drez will guide you through the heart and power of bhakti yoga—the yoga of the heart—or an exploration of devotional story telling, mantra, dance, all against a backdrop of creative beats that match and awaken our unique heart beat. We’ll express the fullest sense of embodiment and from there how to let this sense of devotion move through us, so we can share it with others.
To practice bhakti is to practice loving what is, embracing it and transmuting it - grief, ugliness, passion, grasping, desire, fear - into a force for flow, presence, and change.
Together we’ll explore:
WELCOME HOME with DJ Molly Barber
It’s that feeling when you walk in the front door after a long journey… We will welcome ourselves home, into our own authentic being. We will reclaim our body and voice. Through yoga, breathwork, and mantra we’ll shed layers of conditioning that have distanced us from our true expression. This session offers a space to explore the healing power of movement and sound, empowering you to embrace yourself wholeheartedly.
SURYA | radiant energy
Waking into the light of a new day, let’s harness the power of the sun to awaken our spirit and energize our body. Through 108 sun salutations, energizing breath practice and meditation, we will connect with the life-giving force of Surya (sun), symbolizing new beginnings and endless possibilities. This practice invites us to embrace each new day with vitality and purpose. We’ll step into our day feeling refreshed, empowered, and ready to shine your light into the world.
INTEGRATION | Samanvaya,
On Sunday, we integrate the experiences of our desert bhakti-full gathering so that we may carry its essence and potency into our daily lives. Through bhakti yoga practices we”ll reintegrate the parts of ourselves that we’ve lost along the way moving towards our wholeness. Samanvaya (harmony) cultivates communion and unity within yourself and with the world around you.
Janet’s studentship began at 17 under the meditation teachings of Prem Rawat. His reverence for simplicity and finding joy in the rise and fall of life live on in her practice and teaching today. In 1996, she traveled to India, the birthplace of her grandfather, and became dedicated to the path of yoga. Janet blends the alchemy of her own practice with decades of studentship. She aspires not to teach but to allow the practice to emanate from her, letting awareness blend with movement and breath. Based in Bali and San Francisco, she leads immersions, retreats, workshops and more.
