‘Make Your Double Chamber Zepotec Flute’ with Nash Tavewa
Le Chalet, Berkeley Hills (address sent upon signing up)
These flutes were originally made of clay and used as sound healing and ceremonial tools in ancient Mexico. As part of the practice, once the ceremony was completed the flutes were smashed and returned to Mother earth as part of the ritual. As you can imagine no example of those flutes were passed down except from lineage holder Nash Tavewa, who felt the call to bring these powerful tools to us.
The flutes have a double chamber, which includes a drone and a regular flute. The drone harmonizes with the flute being played to give a very soothing and mystical sound. It can be played as a single or two flutes at same time. It’s like having your own accompaniment when you want it.
Specifications:
Clay Flute, six holed, mid-range Key of “G” and fully tuned. Jaguard head not included.
Your ceramic flute will dry and then be kiln fired and returned to you.

1440 Multiversity - 800 Bethany Drive Scotts Valley, CA 95066
As a special feature of this transformative program, Dr. Gabor Maté will lead conversations with spiritual teacher Adyashanti and master coach Lissa Rankin, MD, on separate evenings during the week.
Spiritual practices can help soften shame, confusion, anger, and pain. We often seek the release of meditation, yoga, or chanting and they can soothe the discomfort of fear or self-judgment. But many people get lost in what can be called Spiritual Bypass—when our spiritual identity, beliefs, or practice become a defense to avoid honestly experiencing and processing deep emotional suffering.
This 5-day intensive workshop with renowned author Gabor Maté, MD, and expert Kundalini Yoga teacher Sat Dharam Kaur, ND, combines unique therapeutic work, Compassionate Inquiry, and enhanced yoga to explore emotional realities that many spiritual practices often ignore. You will learn:
Skillful, curiosity-driven, non-judgmental witnessing of body sensations and emotions
Meditations and breathing for calm and stability
Kundalini Yoga for expressing repressed emotional states
Cultivation of self-acceptance and self-compassion
Compassionate Inquiry to reveal implicit memory and traumatic or unconscious feelings
Patience, respect, and the importance of choice in any therapeutic process.
Don’t allow Spiritual Bypass to cause a split to form between your authentic internal experience and a facade you present to the world, leaving wounds unhealed. It’s a serious pitfall for all spiritual practitioners, new or experienced. Instead, cultivate sensitivity and understanding to reveal any underlying unconscious beliefs like “I’m not good enough,” “I’m not loveable,” or “I’m wrong,” and resolve them.
In this workshop, which will be hosted by Maurizio Benazzo and Zaya Benazzo (SAND), explore true practice probing the origin and surrounding beliefs of pain and repressed emotion in a safe and supportive setting. Participate in real witnessing, non-judgment, and expression, the ingredients of resolution.
This in-depth program is suitable for therapists, spiritual seekers, and anyone looking for a profound understanding of their personal issues. This is part of SAND programs 2019.

Inner Landscapes Sound Journey
As part of the Rose Labyrinth Series
Inner Landscapes Journey is the development of Laura Inserra's work around the transmutational and evolutive power of music which invite and nurture personal transformation, healing, and self-awareness. These 'sound ceremonies' are a musical immersion into enchanted soundscapes and an invitation to listen with your whole body your inner visions, moods, feelings, thoughts, and states. In other words, is an inspiration to relax into your precious 'presence' through a form of sound meditation.
The sound coming from each instrument resonates differently with each part of your being, opening up, liberating, or transforming stuck energies, emotions, creative thoughts, healing, inner guidance, and so much more. Some of the instruments presented are rooted in ancient schools of wisdom, others are so new you have never heard them before. All of them create an opportunity to journey into your ‘inner landscapes’ with a different perspective, a different mode
of being.
We are pure vibration and everything vibrates around us which it means everything emanates sounds. Hearing is one of the first senses that activates when we come into life, and it is the last one to dissolve when we die. There is more to listening to than what we are aware of. Imagine only that we can hear up to 10 octaves compared to one octave of the color spectrum that the sight is able to perceive. With that in mind, our vision of life expands wilder than what only our eyes are able to receive. So much to say about that…
These performances display a rich palette of global sounds using ancient and modern instruments which she infuses with a unique blend of harmonies and melodic lines on top of intricate rhythmic expressions.

His flute journey began as a child. As a kid, his parents made him small cane flutes, clay whistles, and drums to play with. Surrounded by family artists, he learned to make his own flutes and whistles.
In 1998, he met Guillermo Martinez a renowned Native American Flute and Drum maker. For 4 years, he apprenticed under Guillermo Martinez where he learned to make Native American Flutes and Drums. Since then he has mastered and refined the craft and, as a young adult, he has great appreciation for his heritageis. Nash interested in his tribal culture, traditions, ceremonies, and music has lead him to perform and do workshops in making flutes and shamanic drums.

A playful exploration of our different personalities.
Have you ever felt confused and conflicted about a person or a situation? Have you ever felt some strong instinct only to be torn by immediate second guessing? Have you ever been self destructive and helpless to stop it? Have you ever teared up or been overwhelmed with anger or impatience in ways you couldn't explain? Have you ever felt uncertain about directions your life should take?
One way to understand this mix of feelings and contradictions is to look inside what we generically call “I”, or the self, and recognize it as a collection of characters. Each one of them displays different skills, needs, fears, limitations, roles, and desires. Nadine Kreisberger calls it the ‘The Roundtable of Inner Characters’. Having worked as a counselor and journalist on three continents, she found the limitations of simply using the word “I” in expressing one’s thoughts and feelings. She saw the need to understand much more in depth “who” in the person is thinking, or feeling. It was clear to her that each one of us is made of many different facets and personalities, and yet we are mostly unaware of who those are and what truly drives or distinguishes them.
Laura’s music will provide a powerful tool to harmonize the group and help each individual’s discovery through what she calls Inner Landscapes Journeys. Using sacred instruments, rhythms, and melodies, she will create a musical environment to facilitate and nurture personal transformation and self awareness. Her music will allow us to connect to feelings and realizations which sheer intellect could not reach. The combination of verbal and non verbal tools will help us integrate the shared knowledge in deeper, richer and more comprehensive ways.

Sowing Your 2018: an Inner Landscapes Sound Journey with Laura Inserra, René Jenkins, and Janay Cipriani
As part of the Rose Labyrinth Series
What do you want to invoke for your 2018? What does your intuition want to reveal to your awareness? What do your spirit guides and guardian angels want to communicate to you? What does mother nature want you to sense? What do you need to let go in order to create more capacity to receive? What is encoded in the memory of your body that can facilitate the path to your New Year?
When we are at the beginning of a solar cycle, it is important to spread out widely our vision and to sense the path that wants to manifest in front of us.
In this first 2018's Inner Landscapes Sound Journey, ceremonial sound healers Laura Inserra, René Jenkins, and Janay Cipriani will create a sound journey with the opportunity for you to envision and sow the seeds of your New Year's pathway. We will journey vision-ally with our inner 'eye', and physic-ally through the vibratory memories in our body. We will create room in our mind for the intelligence of our senses to give us hints and guidance for the year to come.
Inner Landscapes Sound Journey is the development of Laura Inserra's work around the transmutational and evolutive power of music, which invites and nurtures personal transformation, healing, and self-awareness. These 'sound ceremonies' are a musical immersion into enchanted soundscapes and an invitation to listen with your whole body to your inner visions, moods, feelings, thoughts, and states.

Sealing Your 2017: an Inner Landscapes Sound Journey with Laura Inserra and Jérémy Marais
As part of the Rose Labyrinth Series
What are the teachings 2017 delivered solely to you? What are the challenges that made you stronger? What are the patterns that you repeated and made you weaker? What about the gifts, the opportunities, the blessings, the growth, and the people that were brought to you by this specific year?
In this upcoming Inner Landscapes Sound Journey, in collaboration with Jérémy Marais, I will share with you one of the most sacred rituals I practice: Sealing the Year. When I reach the end of a solar cycle, it is important for me to travel in time and sense all the steps and occasions that gave me the possibility to become who I am in this moment in time. While I envision them, I acknowledge, I bless, I forgive, I thank, I accept, I choose, I cut, I nourish, I honor, I surrender, I transform, I embrace, I give back, I pray...
We will journey vision-ally with our inner 'eye', and physic-ally through the vibratory memories in our body. For those who are new to my work, Inner Landscapes Sound Journey is the development of my research around the transmutational and evolutive power of music. It invites and nurtures personal transformation, healing, and self-awareness. These 'sound ceremonies' are a musical immersion into enchanted soundscapes and an invitation to listen with your whole body your inner visions, moods, feelings, thoughts, and states.
