🌀 Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) & Ho’oponopono: Clearing Energy, Cultivating Peace
Experience the powerful synergy of EFT tapping and the ancient Hawaiian practice of Ho’oponopono in this deeply healing and transformative session. Together, these tools help you release emotional blocks, calm the nervous system, and reconnect with a sense of inner peace and forgiveness.
EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) uses gentle tapping on acupressure points while voicing thoughts or emotions, helping to shift stuck energy and reduce stress. Ho’oponopono, a sacred Hawaiian mantra practice, brings healing through four simple phrases: “I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.”
💖 In this session, you’ll:

• Learn the basics of EFT and how to apply it to everyday stress
• Practice combining tapping with the heart-opening mantras of Ho’oponopono
• Clear energetic and emotional blockages
• Leave feeling lighter, calmer, and more connected

No experience necessary — just bring an open mind and a willingness to release what no longer serves you.
Come tap into healing and let your heart remember its natural state: peace, love, and wholeness.

This practice will include pranayama and metta (loving-kindness) meditation to support presence, compassion, and self-care. We will explore ānāpānasati--mindfulness of breath--as a foundation for embodying love, kindness, and a shared sense of belonging. 

Yoga is no longer just about sequencing a strong flow. It is about creating spaces where people feel seen, safe, and connected.
In this talk, Nic shares her journey from teaching classes to cultivating community-centered experiences that foster retention, loyalty, and authentic growth. Drawing from her work in accessible vinyasa, partner yoga, event creation, and intentional storytelling, she explores what truly keeps students coming back — and how teachers can evolve from instructors into space holders.
This session is for teachers, studio owners, and facilitators who want to:
• Deepen student retention through connection
• Create experiences beyond the mat
• Align brand voice with lived values
• Build community without burnout
• Lead with authenticity instead of comparison
Participants will leave with reflection prompts, actionable ideas, and a renewed sense of purpose in how they show up as leaders in their spaces.

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.

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.

This Guided Embodiment experience invites participants to step out of autopilot and reconnect with their body, confidence, and self-expression through movement, curiosity, and play.


Blending mindset, guided exploration, and simple movement prompts, the session creates space to reset patterns of tension and self-consciousness, reclaim a more natural and expressive way of moving, and rediscover the ease, playfulness, and sensual presence that often get lost over time.


Through light, optional interaction and an “adult recess” approach to movement, participants are invited to explore without pressure to perform, allowing confidence and expression to emerge naturally.


Participants will leave with a simple “Reset, Reclaim, Play” practice they can use daily to reconnect with their body, shift out of self-consciousness, and bring more confidence, presence, and playful self-expression into their everyday life.
