Contributions are sliding scale, please register so we can expect you.

We start our evening in circle as we collectively set intentions for this coming cycle, starting with this full moon. Oracle cards & candles charge up the circle.

Be guided into meditation and slow somatic movement and then release into your being with eyes closed and open.

Feel free to dance your booty off, feel free to stretch, lay, take up space, practice your yoga or meditate as you please. ..as the music moves you.

We have no rules of how to move, we invite individual expression.

Expect waves of rhythms by DJ Earth G Koreen, your guide. From world music, to soft mantras, to funky disco house, tribal & deep house music. ... and back to your breath.

Expect to have fun, get a little wild, giggle, and feel fricken good in our bodies., Expect to leave feeling alive, confident and grounded in your intentions.

Qoya ~ Body Wisdom
May

Qoya ~ Body Wisdom

Join us for the first of 3 Qoya Body Wisdom classes of spring!

Qoya is an embodiment movement practice based on the idea that through movement we remember. We remember that our essence as women is wise, wild, and free. Wise, wild, and free also draw reference to the movement forms practiced in a Qoya class:

Wise: Calling on the wisdom of yoga, meditation, ritual, and contemplation.
Wild: The creative and authentic expression in dance.
Free: The freedom to feel pleasure in the body through feminine or sensual movement by choosing what feels nourishing.

Qoya is also based on the idea that there is no way you can do it wrong. If it feels good to you, that's how you know you are doing it right. It’s a physical movement practice that allows us to shift to be more present in the body, and we do this by tuning into the feeling.

We hope you can join us for one or all of the 3 part embodiment series.

Each class has a theme mixed with rituals, ecstatic dance, community sharing, and a guided journey back into the body with epic music. Healing happens in the community, and Qoya class creates a safe space to support us to drop us out of our heads and into our bodies by following the physical sensation of truth.
We have so much fun moving, sweating, stretching, and being together. All of you is welcome here.

The theme we will be dancing with for this Spring class series is: BODY WISDOM.

Each class theme will build upon the next and move you through a journey of BODY WISDOM - BODY LOVE - BODY TRUST.
We will explore what it feels like when we tune into our somatic yeses and no's. We will explore what safety feels like in the body, and begin to build a bridge where we can slow down, deeply listen, and trust the inner wisdom of the body.

Class dates and themes:

3/28 - Listening to the Wisdom of the Body
4/18 - Trusting Yourself
5/9 - Loving Your body

Cost: $33

Transmutation- Safety in Rage, Progressive Communication Skills
May
11
2:00 PM14:00

Transmutation- Safety in Rage, Progressive Communication Skills

Open Minds Fusion Studio in collaboration with Alexandra Kerlin from Zandra's Healing Arts and Koreen Valdovinos presents: TRANSMUTATION.

THE WHY:

We are in an epidemic.
Of people not feeling safe in their bodies.
Many of us don’t feel safe in relationships or in our community.
We have lost touch with ourselves. With the land we walk upon on.
It's breaking us.


One of the reasons we feel so unsafe is because of all of the repressed emotions we carry.
We don’t know how to talk about our pain.
We don’t know how to feel our pain.
We don’t know how to transmute our pain.
Despite all of the access we have to each other, we are more disconnected than ever before.
Do you feel the shift happening all around us?
Now, more than ever it’s time for us to come together and learn how heal in the community.
To reconnect with our bodies.
To rebuild safety, bone by bone, brick by brick.
We invite you to a workshop that might be unlike anything you have attended before.
That’s because we have been behind the scenes - building a felt sense of safety in our bodies - to share these life-changing tools with you.
We want to share a transformational experience with you.
We want to show you what is possible.
Lets transmute.

THE VISION:

This is a unique offering. Imagine ritual meets somatics meets embodied movement meets authentic relating meets emotional processing. A safety rage workshop!

We will be dropping deep into our bodies and creating a felt sense of safety. We will move in ways that honor the wisdom of the body. We will learn about a venting practice to find safety in relationships. We will be guided through a powerful clearing and healing ritual.

We are inviting energetic leaders, changemakers, healers, space holders, visionaries, medicine workers, creatives, movers, shakers, and people who want to make the world a better place to come to this workshop. It’s time for us to come together and level up.

Come if you want to land a deeper felt sense of safety in your body. Come if you want to learn about progressive communication skills. Come if you want to clear out some repressed emotional baggage. Come if you want to learn how to heal in community.
Come if you are curious.
Come if any tiny part of this resonates.

THE DETAILS:

When: Saturday, May 11, from 2-5. Doors open at 1:30.

How to enter: You will be entering a sacred space, so please remain quiet and be ready to drop into your body.

What to bring: A yoga mat, a water bottle, and comfortable clothes to wear.

Where: Location: A-Mill Artist Loft Dance Studio
315 SE Main St Minneapolis MN 55414

Cost: Early bird register before May 1: $55. Registration after May 1: $:85.

Pain to Power - Ritual & Embodiment Playshop for Fibromyalgia
May
20
7:30 PM19:30

Pain to Power - Ritual & Embodiment Playshop for Fibromyalgia

Ritual & Embodiment PLAYshop for Fibromyalgia, Chronic Pain & Fatigue


45 minutes of ritual + 45 minutes of embodied movement. We’ll open with a gentle sound bowl meditation to ground and center, then do a card pull, some journaling, EFT, and intentional & sensual touch and body writing. Then into a quick yoga nidra trance and then slow guided embodiment. Come to connect with and love yourself deeply. Come to release emotional, physical, and spiritual pain. Come to integrate and find wholeness again.

Bring a yoga mat, a blanket/pillow if you prefer, and a journal.

Tea & snacks will be provided.


EFT:

EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques. It is an energy psychology tool where we tap on acupuncture points, addressing the mental emotional and energy aspects of an issue simultaneously, to find long term, often permanent, relief. As we tap and talk, we send vibrations through our energy body to clear away the thoughts, emotions, and sensations connected to pain.

Ritualistic Sensual Body Writing:

Using a selenite pencil, we will write affirmations and love notes to our body on our skin. Selenite is a master healer, cleanser, and manifestor. Write to release pain and integrate a new relationship you want to have with your body and the symptoms you experience.

Yoga Nidra & Embodiment:

Slow down and drop into deep presence with yourself and your body. Pay attention to yourself and the sensations you feel in a way you never have before. Let the sensations move you, rather than your mind. We will drop out of our minds and sink deep into our bodies with yoga nidra, then slowly start to move and wiggle around on the floor. Using sensual touch to bring loving awareness to pain points and the parts of ourselves that have been deeply rejected, neglected, and ignored.

Energy Exchange: $33 regular price

*Sliding Scale option available starting at $11

Free: The freedom to feel pleasure in the body through feminine or sensual movement by choosing what feels nourishing.

Qoya is also based on the idea that there is no way you can do it wrong. If it feels good to you, that's how you know you are doing it right. It’s a physical movement practice that allows us to shift to be more present in the body, and we do this by tuning into the feeling.

We hope you can join us for one or all of the 3 part embodiment series.

Each class has a theme mixed with rituals, ecstatic dance, community sharing, and a guided journey back into the body with epic music. Healing happens in the community, and Qoya class creates a safe space to support us to drop us out of our heads and into our bodies by following the physical sensation of truth.
We have so much fun moving, sweating, stretching, and being together. All of you is welcome here.

The theme we will be dancing with for this Spring class series is: BODY WISDOM.

Each class theme will build upon the next and move you through a journey of BODY WISDOM - BODY LOVE - BODY TRUST.
We will explore what it feels like when we tune into our somatic yeses and no's. We will explore what safety feels like in the body, and begin to build a bridge where we can slow down, deeply listen, and trust the inner wisdom of the body.

Class dates and themes:

3/28 - Listening to the Wisdom of the Body
4/18 - Trusting Yourself
5/9 - Loving Your body

Yogini Circle on healing from Spiritual abuse
Mar

6:00 PM18:00

Yogini Circle on healing from Spiritual abuse

Dismantling Lineage and Recognizing Spiritual Abuse
w/Koreen Valdovinos & Justyn O'Neill

During this Yogini's Wisdom Circle at the Seeker Yoga school, we will gather together to discuss the impact yogic lineage has on women, how to recognize spiritual abuse in circles and navigating religious trauma inside of your yoga practice & your individual religious or spiritual traumas.

We will include some practices that utilize meditation and pranayama for processing stored trauma or beliefs. Together we hold the intention to move beyond our pasts and generational spiritual trauma of our families/cultures that we are a part of. Religious trauma is real.

We can also educate ourselves as seekers on cult dynamics and embody healthy boundaries around charismatic leaders. We can look at our own experiences with spiritual abuse and our own desires for community & spirituality. We can inoculate ourselves from common predatory spiritual leaders tactics and practice yoga to embody this.

When: Wednesday March 13th 6-8pm

Where: The Seeker School, Richfield (off 35W & 62nd, address will be sent upon registration)
Cost: $30

email to register Justyn@theseekeryogaschool.com

payment: Venmo to @TheSeekerYogaSchool

Things to ponder, from and article by Ginny Shaddock on Yoga and Cult Dynamics

The yoga sutras warn us of this – how we must practice nonattachment to the fruits of our actions as well as nonattachment to our own desire to be more enlightened. But what we know theoretically, and what we recognize is happening in our subconscious, are very different realities.

Yoga teaches us to shed our false identities and our cultural conditioning, to listen to our inner voice, and to surrender to our challenges and accept them as a karmic lesson rather than something we need outside help to conquer. This means that seeking external answers to our problems, answers that can only come through the guru or cult leader’s blessing, wisdom or attention, is the antithesis of an authentic yoga practice. The only real threat is when a yoga teacher passing on knowledge does so with inference that results can be attributed to their superiority as a mentor, rather than from the system of wholeness that is yoga. Yoga teaches us that a teacher is needed but not the answer.

Sometimes, cult dynamics form when interpretation of the teachings hint that we must trust the process (rather than our instincts) and that suffering is a part of purification.

No one can take credit for your spiritual growth or enlightenment. That is a personal journey. A good teacher can help you see the path, but you must walk it yourself. The true meaning of the wisdom teachings of yoga will vary depending on each individual’s interpretation and a strong mentor knows this and invites you to question their interpretations and world view as you form your own. Those trying to convince you that they are going to be the solution to your problems and that they have the answers you need to be whole, are likely not as far along the spiritual path as they make out. After all, humility is the first and strongest sign of someone who understands the deepest dimensions of yoga.

Respect is one thing. Adoration and unwavering devotion for a teacher is another. Like all things in yoga, we must maintain a healthy balance.

Qoya for Women-  Embodiment & Movement
Jan
17
7:00 PM19:00

Qoya for Women- Embodiment & Movement

Qoya classes are embodiment practices based on the idea that through movement we remember. We remember that our essence as women is wise, wild and free. Wise, wild and free also draw reference to the movement forms that we practice in a Qoya class.

The intention of a Qoya class is to drop out of your head, and into your body by following the physical sensation of truth in your body.

Expect to weave components of ecstatic dance, ritual, & movement similar to Earth Goddess Yoga (for those of you who are regulars to Open Minds & earth Goddess Yoga)

Each class has a theme (Celebrating your authentic expression) mixed with rituals, community sharing, and a guided journey back into the body with epic music. We have so much fun moving, sweating, stretching and being in community together.

Cost: $33 per session

REGISTER NOW HERE : https://clients.mindbodyonline.com/classic/ws?studioid=206577&stype=-7&sView=day&sLoc=0&date=01/17/24

🧘🏽‍♀️Wise: calling on the wisdom of yoga, meditation, ritual and contemplation.

🦅Wild: the creative and authentic expression in dance

🎶Free: the freedom to feel pleasure in the body through feminine or sensual movement by choosing what feels nourishing to you.

Qoya is also based on the idea that there is no way you can do it wrong. If it feels good to you, that's how you know you are doing it right. It’s a physical movement practice that allows us to shift to be in the body, and we do this by tuning into the feeling.

🤷🏻‍♀️What to wear / bring:

-Something you feel good in and comfortable to move in.

-Journal and pen (optional)

- Water bottle

-A sacred item that you feel called to bring ie. stone, crystal, necklace etc. (optional to place on the altar to be infused with the energies of the dance)

Location: A-Mill Artist Loft Dance Studio

315 SE Main St Minneapolis MN 55414

Harness the energy of the moon and the sun. Lean into ritual, the magic of a feminine goddessy yoga flow, the new moon energy and our connection to nature's cycles... Self care for the modern witch. Welcome to New Moon Womens Circles w/ Kitty Truax and Koreen Valdovinos. This circle is now a regular monthly addition to the many Women's Circles highlight hosts and pros, artists & pleasure activists, authors and community leaders.

This circle will blanket us with the knowledge of the moon cycles, as Kitty Truax is blessing us with her presence as a moonoligst witch who can speak to this season and our cycles like no one I have met before!

Together we all will welcome the NEW MOON.

This workshop and circle is all about planning your adventure, working through life's challenges and manifesting and creating your life with your earth magic that we all are imbued with.

Bring a journal, a yoga mat or pillow/ blanket to sit in comfortably in circle with.

Expect discussion, inspiration, movement, a little EARTH GODDESS YOGA music, ritual, authentic connection with your sisters in this circle. Candles, oracle cards, smudging our spirits, and sisterhood.

We are going to EMBODY our truths & envision our journey.

Our tools we will be spell-casting with is our writing/drawing AND our physical, earthly, body.

I LOVE having kitty for our New Moon Circles! This expert co-host specializes in breaking down the cycles from new moon to full moon. This circle is for those who are interested in expanding their connection to cycles and self, with intention and ritual. (Links to her podcast below.)

We will create a connection to each other, our sisters with us in this current cycle we all happen to be in together, while experiencing our karmic truths. We will cast a protection circle and seal it with the vibration of Capricorn.

We will laugh and maybe cry, and hold space for healing and leaning into honoring the darkness, the goddess, the new moon.

With Love,
Koreen
