Evolving Spiritual practice in times of transition
Upcoming Module:
Ganesh &
The Root Gate
Bricolage in Motion
September 27 - November 15
Ganesh & The Root Gate invites you to explore the foundations of yogic practice through study, embodied experience, and self-inquiry.
Myth, symbol, mantra, movement, and meditation meet in eight practice sequences, supported by presentations, storytelling, and questions for reflection.
We begin with Ganesh, traditionally invoked at beginnings and associated with Muladhara, the first chakra, as his dwelling place. Together, they invite us to explore how we meet and cross thresholds, in practice and in life, and what supports us as we do.
Ganesh is a cosmic collage; Muladhara, a mandala of earth, sound, geometry, and divine presence. Through Ganesh’s stories and the study of Muladhara’s evolving symbolism, we explore the mythological, cultural, and ritual worlds that inform practice. Exploring these roots reveals histories of encounter and transformation—and gives us room to move, to experiment, and to return with a deeper understanding of what we carry.
In times of transition, these become intimate questions: how do we find support, inhabit our own ground, and cultivate a practice responsive to life?

The Art of Bricolage in Motion
Bricolage is the art of composing with what is at hand. This course is itself a bricolage, composed through years of study and practice, bringing stories, sounds, movements, images, and rituals into relationship. It invites you to discover what these materials make possible in your own practice.
You can find your own way through the materials. Begin with an audio story, enter a practice, or follow a presentation into its historical and symbolic background. Revisit the questions for self-inquiry as experience gives them new meaning. The order, duration, and repetitions can be your own.
The Bricolage in Motion maps reveal the fields within each sequence and how their elements work together. They offer ways to vary, extend, and recombine movement, breath, mantra, meditation, imagination, and writing - gradually cultivating your own daily sādhanā.
Explore independently at your own pace, or join an eight-week live journey when offered.

As we are called to return to the essentials of many aspects of our lives, we are also called to clarify the essentials of our practice; our daily rituals of nurturing the relationships between all the parts of ourselves and the relationships to other beings.
Although always relevant, it seems like especially now, we need to anchor in our center and, from that ground, to cultivate a deeper relationship with the powers that support us, the rhythms that move us, and the awareness that makes us present: slow, steady, and awake.
These weekly online sessions will weave into the yogic practice stories and songs from different traditions, those enduring companions of humanity, that will give new contexts to the fundamental components:
invocation, intention, gratitude, breath, movement, sound, voice, and deep relaxation.
As we’ll dive into the groves laid by old traditions (Yogic, Tantric, Sufi, Jewish and others...) we will bathe in their resonance as we keep playfully evolving with the evolving practice.
Kundalini Yoga, like many other traditional and branded products, has been presented as a complete system, and as such it claimed purity,
Although, naturally, it is syncretic (combining different beliefs or traditions) and has been evolving since ancient times.
Its assumed completion is actually not aligned with its essential nature.
If we explore each element of the system, let go of the ones that were there as preservers of the system itself, and stick with the essentials,
we can adjust these modules, and their relationships, creating new sequences as needed within changing contexts: cultural, geographical, mythological. We can bring authenticity and relevance to diverse circumstances and environments.
This is not about creating or branding another system, it is about becoming co-creators of the evolving practice.
