The How of Neuroplasticity with Art & Meditation, Part 2: Supporting Cognition as We Age

For those who may have missed this webinar. Enjoy!

April 30th at Studio Sat Nam 17th Ave Calgary

Sacred Geometry can be described as the architecture of the universe, the fingerprints of creation. The patterns used in Sacred Geometry are used as a template for all material things. Patterns are the building blocks of everything in life. Everything can be reduced to a geometric structure: plants, stars, planets, music, cells, people, DNA, animals, solar systems, atoms, you name it, anything in the universe can be measured on a geometric scale!

It is often said that Kundalini Yoga expresses a science of angles and triangles, forming shapes with the body to stimulate various meridians and energy centres for optimal mental and physical health; a kind of geometry for the human self. Every angle that is created within your body through asana has a specific effect! In this workshop, we will explore these as well as the benefits of creating art using the magical science of Sacred Geometry.

Join us as we dive into this exploration and how we can use the power of this modality in our life! We will be moving our bodies with yoga, quieting our minds with meditation and exploring and organizing our inner emotions by learning how to create the Flower of Life. You do not need to be an artist or have any artistic skills to participate.
