Bob Fisk
Bob is a mind body facilitator with a background in personal development, meditation, yoga, breathwork, music and mental health.

Transformation through Sound - Breath, Body and Attention:
The session will begin with light body and breathwork designed to release tension held in the body. As we activate the body the mind will begin to quiet and still. (No special skill or physical ability required.) We will then lay back in a comfortable pose for the dureation as the live sounds from a variety of overtone producing instruments guide us deeper and deeper on a journey through and often beyond the subconscious. Give yourself permission to enter that state between wakefulness and dreams.

Danny Gleason
As a life long seeker, I stumbled across the work of Dr. Patrick Flanagan and Dr. Fred Bell discussing the scientific nature of the pyramids and was intrigued yet also skeptical. So rather than reading about it, I wanted to learn more at a deeper level with my own experiences with them. Once I finally got to experience the pyramid power, the rest is history. This talk will be about some of my personal experiences with the pyramids and how they effect the mind, body and spirit and their influences on nature.

Gigi Bisong
Gigi is a warm, engaging, expressive and authentic coach. Her calling is to see the God/Goddess in everyone she meets and mirror back to them their glorious selves. This wasn't always Gigi's way of being. As a painfully shy child, it was difficult for Gigi to create intimate connections with peers. Yet she found great ease in being intimate with a pen and paper which is how writing and reading became her first loves. Showing her full acceptance and utter strength. Strength to hold all of her emotions. The pages never judged her tears as too much nor did the pen frown at her wild imagination. She found a home in writing. Gigi's shyness, inability to fit in, deep wisdom, and colorful imagination are the foundation for the work she currently brings into the world. Even though Gigi was painfully shy - she would naturally tune into her innate power when she did presentations at school. In 9th grade, she discovered a new love. Public Speaking. She was able to tap into an energy that was beyond her years. As a young girl, she realized her writing and speaking was a vessel to a higher consciousness.
Gigi is a motivational speaker. Partial credits include: Mankato State University, US Bank, Comcast, and Northeast Middle School. She is also a former Huff Post contributor, coach, retreat leader, and best selling author. Gigi leads group coaching experiences in Minneapolis where she creates spaces for individuals to connect to a profound journey of self-acceptance. Partial credits include: Minneapolis Public Schools Parent Coaching Program, Harriet Tubman, NE Wellness, 612 Yoga, and Wellstone High School.
Gigi has emerged from a shy girl who was awkward and uncomfortable in her body into a woman standing fiercely in her unique truth. Her personal journey gives her the ability to coach from true experience. Showing up with deep compassion, vulnerability, love, non-judgment, integrity and wisdom to all those she meets. She can meet others with this because she has met herself there.

Mike Thompson
I came to explore plants and their affects on the body while studying herbalism in 2013. Around this time I built an interest around the transportation of particular herbs and adaptogens through the mediums of cacao and tea - I ran a raw foods business out of southern Oregon. based on this growing interest from 2013-2015. In 2016 I had a deep experience with old growth, loose leaf teas that piqued a further curiosity and exploration. In 2018 I traveled to Taiwan to explore loose leaf tea culture and had the opportunity to explore tea from many cultures in SE Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. I'm passionate about sharing loose leaf tea culture with others, along with it's potential as an effective integration tool. @mikemoetke on instagram.

"Maitri Grief Ritual"
"Maitri means lovingkindness. It is a concept used in the meditation community that conveys unconditional friendliness to others, and especially to oneself. In this workshop you will find yourself held in a safe container to touch into the many feelings that we often do not feel welcome to share in every day life.
We have all been impacted and continue to be impacted by circumstances beyond our control, but often find ourselves moving through life without giving enough attention to the emotions that we all have and need to feel. By touching in, it can actually create more freedom and grace in navigating day-to-day life.
Come offer your grief, praise, joy and tears. All emotions are welcome here.
“What makes maitri such a different approach is that we are not trying to solve a problem. We are not striving to make pain go away or to become a better person. In fact, we are giving up control altogether and letting concepts and ideals fall apart.” Pema Chödrön "

What does it mean to truly embody the present moment? To explore the senses at a depth that is profoundly awakening. In our embodiment journey we will explore taste, touch, sound, sight, smell, and the sixth sense: proprioception via consciousness. We will begin the journey by creating a safe vessel to explore the bodies current state, and communally shift into the present moment with all six senses. After we have dropped into presence, we will integrate individualized mantras through astral projection and sound healing. Deep reflection and profound magickal unfolding.
