Cultivating Presence Retreat
with Justin Otto at URU Yoga
Our theme, "cultivating present moment awareness," invites you to embrace the richness of each moment to be fully engaged in the here and now. Through guided meditations and reflective exercises, you'll uncover the beauty of being fully present, one breath, one moment, at a time.
As we celebrate 4/20, let's also reflect on the subtle irony that while some seek inner peace through puffing clouds of smoke, we find it through the clarity of meditation. After all, why cloud the mind when you can clear it?
So, whether you're a seasoned meditator or a curious soul, join us for the "4/20 Cultivating Presence Retreat" and treat yourself to a half-day of self-discovery, laughter, and the gentle embrace of presence.
The cost is $40-$100 on a sliding scale, so please pay to your highest ability to enable others who have less means to attend.
Scholarships are available; contact justin@gulfcoastdharma for more information.
We look forward to practicing with you!

Core Shamanic Healing Circle
with Milo Burdine at URU Yoga
20$
In this circle, led by trained core shamanic practitioner and licensed massage therapist Milo Burdine, you will actively participate in shamanic journeying and receive a shamanic energy healing.
This circle operates from a core shamanic universal foundation, blended with what is known from the Celtic and Nordic shamanic pagan ancestral traditions of the facilitator.
Shamanic journeying is a technique of traveling into the spiritual realms using a drum with the aid of our companion guardian spirits for the purpose of healing. Basic teachings will be covered on shamanic journeying and shamanic healing.
Special shamanic techniques will be taught so you may take home a new practice which will help illuminate your personal spiritual craft.
This shamanic healing circle will help to deepen your shamanic journey practices, cultivate enduring bonds with companion guardian spirits, work on personal and collective healing, strengthen your connection to the divine, and radiate your sacred light into the cosmos.
This circle is a supportive shamanic community. If you are seeking a community of kindred souls with a focus on healing, please join us.
This circle is rooted in the practices of shamanism, an ancient animistic spiritual practice woven through all cultures. Within animism, spirits exist in both the physical realms and spirit realms. Each person has their own unique guardian spirits. These guardian spirits are powerful beings who walk beside you. They can be called upon and worked with during shamanic healing sessions and shamanic journeying.
