3. Many people have said that they are moving away from facebook and would appreciate email notifications of my events. So, I am going to start a mailchimp just for my events. If you are interested, message me.

~~~~~Rough Schedule
Pre-Event
1:00-2:00pm: People are welcome to come early and chill and decorate cat masks, (I will provide) with a representation of their subconscious that will be used in the third part. Rachel and Kimberly will help people design a mask that is inspired by tarot cards. Kimberly and Rachel can also provide some tarot card readings for anyone who is interested.
Part 1: Short lectures (Reality) that will start right at 2pm!
2:00-2:15pm: Introduction to the event and “A scientific perspective into the subconscious” by Vivekanand Pandey Vimal
2:15-2:30pm: “Different layers of consciousness from Indian literature” by Rita Pandey
Part 2: Workshops and activities that digest the ideas presented in Part 1 (Digestion). People will explore how to understand their subconscious and how to interact with it.
2:30-2:45: “Revealing the subconscious through Tarot Cards” by Kimberly and Rachel
2:45-3:00: “Healing the subconscious through surrender” by Nellie
3:00-3:30: “Introduction to shadow work- uncovering our disowned and rejected selves” by Tina
3:30-4:00: “Understand and resolving conflicts in the subconscious through movement, music and meditation” by Darya
Part 3: SOMDEland: Taking ideas from Part 2 and applying it to Vivekanand’s mythological universe that represents his subconscious.
4:00-4:15: Group Picture
4:15-5:00: Dance (this will be recorded, and you can wear masks that I provide to hide your identity or you can be outside of the camera’s view)
Music collaborators: Kimberly, Gabe
Sacred dance collaborator: Elizabeth
Light sacred fire
We will assemble at the bower which represents the threshold between the conscious and subconscious minds. We will put on cat masks which means we will transform into our subconscious selves.
We will then form a circle and dance around the sacred fire. The fire represents self-transformation and the moving circle represents looping thoughts. Kimberly will be performing music during this portion.
The Goddess of Love and Randomness (Elizabeth), at random moments, will run in and throw the Rock of Vulnerability, injecting us with frustration and breaking the circle. At that time, people will gather twigs at the periphery of the yard and start to make a nest near the fire. Gabe will be performing music during this time.
We will do this 3-4 times until all twigs have been used up and the nest has been created. This represents the idea that if we create something after every mental loop, something beautiful can come from the frustration.
Once the nest is finished, I’ll go inside and honor poison ivy.
We will finish by disseminating milkweed seeds into the air while dancing!
Optional Epilogue
5:00-5:16:The event officially ends at 5pm, however for anyone interested, for my website, I’ll be recording: “How I use my mythological universe of SOMDEland to communicate with my subconscious and the symbolism of the ceremony” by Vivekanand Pandey Vimal
~~~~~Collaborators (alphabetical by first name)
Darya Mangeym
Darya has been curious about the subconscious for as long as she can remember herself. This lifelong interest in what’s underneath people’s actions and choices led her to the beginning of her spiritual journey twelve years ago with heavy influence by the father of the subconscious Carl Jung. As well as a career in mental health counseling seven years ago. Darya weaves psychological theories, evidence-based treatments including expressive arts and spiritual practices to guide the journey of bringing to light, understanding, accepting, and integrating the parts that reside in the subconscious.
“The images of the unconscious place a great responsibility upon a man. Failure to understand them, or a shirking of ethical responsibility, deprives him of his wholeness and imposes a painful fragmentariness on his life.” Carl Jung
Kimberly Redd
Kimberly is a Music Artist, Yoga Teacher (E-RYT, RCYT, RPYT), and Priestess of the Goddess. She is passionate about awakening the natural magic within, guiding children and adults to connect to their own creativity and the wonders of nature.
