NEPA Yoga Fest

In a world shaped by chronic stress, trauma exposure, and social division, yoga must move beyond performance and return to embodiment. This lecture explores how nervous system literacy and somatic awareness deepen yoga as a spiritual practice—supporting safety, agency, and authentic expression.


Topics include nervous system regulation in modern yoga spaces, the difference between intensity and regulation, trauma-informed language as spiritual integrity, and how “rooting” creates sustainable expansion. Participants will learn accessible nervous system mapping, experience brief somatic practices, and leave with a practical framework for integrating somatics into personal practice or teaching.

HENNA : HISTORY, IDENTITY AND CULTURAL EXPRESSION: Discover the rich history and cultural significance of henna in this immersive workshop.

Ever wonder why you are the way you are, or why certain patterns keep repeating in your life? Your birth chart is a snapshot of the sky at the exact moment you were born, revealing key insights about your personality, strengths, challenges, and life themes.
In this beginner-friendly talk, I’ll break down the zodiac signs and planets in a simple, clear way so you can start understanding your own chart and the deeper patterns— including your karmic imprint— that shape your path. No prior astrology knowledge needed.

My class will teach the approach of nutrition for a balanced life. I plan to create an inclusive environment for any dietary choices people follow ("Normal Diet", Mediterranean Diet, Vegetarian, Vegan, etc...). I want people to share what food means to them and discuss how it connects us all. I will discuss key points for balanced nutrition and provide ideas for how a person's nutrition could become more 'whole'. My main objective is to help instill confidence for people to make positive adjustments toward a truly balanced lifestyle.

Thai Foot Massage
Class will start with Wai Kru, or prayer, to give thanks to The Father Doctor and all of those who came before us. Once completed students will follow along a self administered foot massage based on Ruesi Dat Ton and Thai massage techniques. After the foot massage the class will use acupressure tools to press into 27 pressure points on the sole of the foot. Oil, Thai Balm and tools will be provided to students. The oil and balm will be theirs to take home. TOOLS MUST BE RETURNED AT THE END OF CLASS.


Pain and dysfunction is all too common these days, but most people avoid the base of it. Our feet are everything. They are our connection to the Earth and what carries us wherever we may go. They should be treated with care, and pampered daily. Always remember, a happy sole is a happy soul!

When Spirit Speaks: Understanding Signs, Synchronicities & The Clairs 

When someone we love passes, the connection doesn’t end, it simply changes form. In this lecture, psychic medium Tara Grossi will explore the many ways loved ones in spirit may continue to send us signs from repeating numbers and meaningful synchronicities to dreams, nature symbols, sensations, and intuitive impressions.

Tara will also discuss the intuitive senses known as the psychic “clairs”—including clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, and claircognizance, and how these abilities can help us better recognize and understand communication from the spirit world.

This heartfelt and insightful talk is designed to help you deepen your awareness, trust your intuition, and better understand how spirit may already be reaching out to you in ways you may not have realized.

With compassion, clarity, and real-life experiences, Tara will guide you through signs, symbolism, and the subtle ways connection continues beyond physical loss.
