Wellness – The Convergence

Breathwork

Convergence Program — Mon, 06 Aug 2018 01:46:43 +0000

Clear out stagnant and stuck energy using the transformational two-part breath pattern.

Using the powerful and transformational two-part breath pattern we will clear out stagnant and stuck energy in the body. Breathwork can help to release pain, stress, and tension in the body, as well as release unhealthy holding patterns. Our own breath has the ability to heal our bodies and connect us with our deepest knowings. Through each breath we are able to connect to all life on Earth and directly receive information and messages from plant beings.

Practice Showing Up: Racial Justice as Spiritual Work for White People

Convergence Program — Sun, 05 Aug 2018 04:09:16 +0000

How to address internalized white supremacy and how it shows up in our understanding and practices of spirituality.

Systemic racism has disconnected white folks from our cultures, our spirituality, and therefore: systemic racism has disconnected and disconnects us from our humanity. White antiracism is a commitment to face and begin to heal ancestral trauma and violence.

In order for white people to show up, we need spiritual practices of wellness, healing and shared culture to ground us and support us. The journey of liberation is a spiritual journey.

My Biome and Me: Healing Fermented Foods?

Joshua Angelo Silva — Tue, 15 Aug 2017 06:30:27 +0000

The human gut biome is home to a diverse ecology of viruses, bacteria, yeasts, fungi, etc. If balanced, the mind/body is vital and healthy, with glowing skin, abundant energy and a generally positive outlook on life . When some of the more parasitic species dominate, food cravings, fatigue, depression, insomnia are some of the possible side effects. We will look at the effects of modern food production, pollution, modern medicine and other factors that influence our biome. We will also look at ways to positively impact our guts including debunking some current myths and hypes around fermented foods flooding the market. There will be a demo on making Raw Kefir and Kefir cheese at the conclusion of the talk.

We will look at the human biome as expressed in harmony and when under stress. We will also look at best practices to promote healthy gut flora.

I think of the gut as each individuals parcel of earth. Like soil in an ecosystem it helps fight infections, breaks down and recycles dead matter, regulates temp, move fluids, etc. It is like a personal permaculture system helping the body and mind run smoother. I am planning on having a demo at the end. There are a variety of fermented foods I can demo, some are very basic, some more complex. I’m happy to talk more about what is possible
