Join us for a weekend intensive with Ma Jaya as we journey on the road of the ancient feminine warrior.

We all have access to the depth of ancient wisdom. As we travel through life, we often journey along the dark roads of unconsciousness and forget who we are; yet at other times, we have glimpses of light, compassion and ultimate awareness. Each of us has many choices along the way. The ability to choose is the greatest gift given to us.

Learn the tools to awaken the feminine power within and find the depth and truth of who you are.

Clear the Mind, Transform your Health - The impact of the mind on the body is widely acknowledged and accepted today. And yet, with regard to our health and wellness, many of us still find ourselves doing the same things over and over again, going against our common sense, ignoring the signs and warnings from our bodies and from Nature.
 

The ancient healing system of India, Ayurveda, refers to this dilemma as prajnaparadha, "crimes against wisdom." Ayurveda understands that we each have our own weak points and blind spots that lure us into unwise behaviors, behaviors that create imbalances that lead to disease. Ayurveda teaches that the journey to a healthy body and long life begins with clearing the mind and strengthening its ability to digest the vicissitudes of life. In this program you will examine the concept of "crimes against wisdom" and how to make changes that will truly transform your health.

9 am - 4 pm. Cost is $85, includes a vegetarian lunch

Intensive with Ma Jaya in Atlanta

Manifesting Consciousness; Walking the Fearless Path

Join us for a weekend intensive with Ma Jaya and experience the vast expanses of consciousness. 

Have you had glimpses or moments of freedom that you yearn for?  Often we experience the expansion of our consciousness in moments of stillness and peace. We experience the nothingness, and a deep knowing floods our being. The silence creates oneness. Once we have tasted the emptiness, we are forever aware of and seek the ability to return to that space.

Learn to live a fearless life and consume your fears. Learn to tap into your higher consciousness and experience freedom.

Freedom from Anxiety & Depression with John Douillard

Discover how cycles of anxiety and depression work in the body and what we can do to free ourselves from this cycle.

In this workshop with Dr. John Douillard, a specialist in Ayurvedic medicine who co-directed Deepak Chopra’s Ayurvedic center for eight years, you will:

• Learn about the nature of your Ayurvedic mind-body type and how to support your unique constitutional predispositions
• Discover the best herbs, daily routines, exercise, yoga practices, and breathing techniques to resolve your chronic difficulties
• Find out why certain eating habits influence your moods
• Make your sensitivity the source of your power rather than a weakness.

A recent preliminary study showed that a balanced lifestyle can significantly impact anxiety, depression, cravings, fatigue, insomnia, and weight gain in just two weeks. Come and get inspired to make small changes that will make a big difference.

How do we seek the wisdom deep within our being? How do we manifest the wisdom of supreme freedom?  The streams of wisdom are recognized in the heart of our being. When we seek wisdom with a true heart, we receive spiritual knowledge. Wisdom comes from the space of deep awareness.

Join us for a weekend intensive with Ma Jaya. Learn to access the depth of your innate knowing. Find the depth of wisdom that you seek. Learn the tools to tap into the direct teachings of the source and how to return and drink from that space at any time.

How do we find the bliss of emptiness? How do we experience the space of emptiness that leads us to the formless? Once we taste emptiness, we become forever aware of our ability to return to a place of timelessness and spacelessness.

Learn to remove the veils of illusion and feel the bliss of emptiness.

Join us for a weekend with Ma Jaya and journey into the ultimate space of formlessness. The skull of the heart leads us into the nothingness that merges into the Oneness.

This is the second 10 day session of the 2-part 2007 teacher training.

Kundalini Shakti, our spiritual energy offers us the ability to channel our creativity and live a prosperous life.  We are pure creativity, and that creativity must be channeled through something in order for it to be expressed.  Intuition is the base of creativity.  When the silence births itself in the space of non-reaction, prosperity manifests, creativity flows, and we live a life of fulfillment. 

Join us for a weekend of creativity and prosperity with Ma. Learn to channel your intuition and Shakti to become a more creative and prosperous individual.

Being reactive allows your emotional being to rule your life. It can create hurt and pain in our relationships. When we live with stress and react unconsciously, we create an inability to consume life. We are unable to live in the present moment.

Join us for this weekend intensive with Ma. Learn to deal with stressful situations that hook us and make us react. Learn how to overcome reactions and repeated patterns. Become a master of non-reaction as you learn to master your life.

Reassess your life and deepen your commitment to yourself. Discipline frees us from our bonds; discipline brings us to a deeper place in our being. The path to freedom is through self-love, and the practice of discipline gives us the strength to be strong, open, and committed to being free. The beauty of discipline opens and expands our lives and our consciousness.

Join us for a weekend of renewal and new beginnings. Learn tools to lead a disciplined life. Experience the heat of transformation that ignites the fire of discipline within.
