INSTRUCTOR: HELEN

Join us for four seasonally inspired, foundational movement and meditation classes for the month of February.

Experience greater peace and vitality using easy joint opening, self-care, and contemplative exercises from yoga and qigong. Harmonize with spring energy and resonate with the rhythm of natural life.

In these four classes, we’ll look at the two seasonal energy patterns (called qi nodes in ancient China) for February; Beginning of Spring and Rain Water. We’ll consider how our bodies and minds synchronize with the seasons and how this might influence our practice.

February 1: Class One - SEED

We plant the seeds of practice for the year ahead. Imagine that we are below the soil, appreciating winter’s embrace, letting the seeds of our practice germinate effortlessly. The focus will include practices for the kidneys and the ears. Introducing the qigong Five Elements theory and practicing from the viewpoint of the model called “nourishing cycle.”

February 8: Class Two - NOURISHMENT

In the month of love, we learn to give heart presence to our practice. Moving from hands to heart. Discovering how to nourish our bodies, and taking inspiration from the spiritual animal of the turtle. Focus on the organs associated with both winter and spring, the kidneys and the liver.

February 15: Class Three - NEW SHOOTS

Growing our practice. Moving more fully into the spring season, expanding, trying our voice (shouting), twisting, and freeing up our energy. Focusing on the sensory organ for spring, the eyes.

February 22: Class Four - SPRING FLOWER

Imagine our practice blossoming like a spring bulb enjoying the sun. Finding the rhythm that is just right for the season and for you. Embracing movement, opening up. We focus on the spiritual animal of spring, the dragon.

These classes are offered on a donation basis. The suggested donation is $25 per class (paid each week).

All donations support Clearbright Way, our 501(c)(3) non-profit organization committed to serving the global community with ongoing donation-based programs in self-healing and embodied spiritual practice.

The 2024 PILGRAMAGE is SOLD OUT!

If you are interested in joining us in 2025, See below for details.

Join us for a one-week spiritual pilgrimage to sacred Kyoto, where ancient traditions and serene landscapes create the perfect backdrop for deep spiritual exploration and personal growth.

We will visit a curated selection of temples and sites that hold historical relevance, and spiritual power or are imbued with unique lessons or experiences that can be supportive of our spiritual awareness and practice. Many of the sites we’ll visit will not be on the top 10 places to visit in Kyoto list. We’ve chosen these sites based on the experience and insight we want you to be exposed to.

ACCOMMODATIONS

Come away with us for a week in the incredible and culturally-rich country of Japan, where we’ll be staying in the cultural capital of Kyoto, the city with 1600 temples. The accommodations we’ve chosen are to support a more communal experience. We’re not going to a luxury resort. We’ve rented a beautiful property/complex in Higashiyama Kyoto composed of 5 homes that surround a small courtyard. There are single, double, and dorm room accommodation options to provide price ranges of access and to invite the group to connect and spend time with each other.

We’ll be teaching and sharing specific practices and principles that harmonize with being in Kyoto, its history and the sites we will be visiting. We will be doing practices at our accommodations but mostly at or near the sites we will be visiting.

SOME OF THE THEMES OF THE TRIP

• The power of simple rituals and how it impacts our body/mind.

• Tracking the energy and accessing the spiritual benefits of sacred sites.

• The transformational art of Animist and Deity practices

• Esoteric History of Japan and Kyoto

• Shinto and Japanese Buddhist principles

• The spirituality of Japanese tea ceremony

• The use of nature in spiritual environments and practice.

• And much more…

WHAT AWAITS YOU

Ancient Temples and Zen Gardens

Visit 1000 year old sacred sites and temples that hold the history, transmission and energy of spiritual practice and ritual with guides that will reveal the spiritual power, history and relevance of these sights that you won’t get from your average guide! We’ll be visiting many Buddhist, Shinto temples and shrines as well as some secret sites that are home to the wild mystics of Japan. Each visit is designed to immerse you in the peace and wisdom of these sacred spaces.

Guided Self-Cultivation Practices Connected to the History of Sacred Sites

Begin each day with guided practice sessions led by Mark and Caiyam. We’ll be engaging in practices specifically designed to help you connect deeper to the power and significance of the sights we will visit. We’ll have the opportunity to experience the power of uniting our inner practice with our environment.

Ceremonial Tea Practice

Experience the meditative beauty of the Japanese tea ceremony. Learn about the intricate rituals and spiritual significance behind this ancient practice, and enjoy the calming effects of a perfectly brewed cup of matcha.


Cultural Immersion, History and Illumination of Japan’s Hidden Spiritual Gems

Sacred Walks to Kyoto’s Power Sites

Empowering the Nine Core Archetypes: Archetypal Parts Work for Secure Attachment

with Cain “Caiyam” Carroll

Self-Study Online Course

Art Credit: The Alchemical Wedding by Emily Balivet

This is a nine-month in-depth process of somatic parts work (sharing common principles with Internal Family Systems, IFS). We use nine core archetypes -- universal symbols and patterns of behavior -- to ignite profound awakening, deep healing, and rewiring of the brain and nervous system.

Through a guided process of inner exploration of the Nine Core Archetypes, you will gain deeper self-understanding and switch on latent powers that enable you to heal attachment-based traumas, increase vitality, and live with a greater sense of freedom and joy.

Strengthen Your Resilience

Through embodied archetype work, you'll learn effective ways of improving poly-vagal tone to cultivate a resilient nervous system that can better adapt to life's ups and downs. Through a progressive rewiring of your inner system, you can release feelings of overwhelm and build a newfound sense of groundedness and stability.

Heal Relationship Attachment Traumas with Embodied Archetype Work

Unlock the transformative power of embodied archetype work to rewire your capacity for secure attachment in relationships, better communication, and more a fulfilling sense of connectedness.

4. Coaching: Each participant receives one 50-minute check-in and coaching session with Cain during the course.

All classes happen online via Zoom.

One-Year Clearbright Foundations Course:

Illuminating the Nine Petals of Life

with Cain “Caiyam” Carroll
 

Online Self-Study Course

This is a one-year in-depth process dedicated to profound awakening, deep healing, and learning to flourish in all nine areas of life. This autumn, we go back to school...to un-learn what no longer serves, to remember the exquisite truth of our own innate wholeness, and how to shine that light in all aspects of our life. 

Course Structure

We will work deeply with one Petal per month for nine months: this October to next June (2023).

Class meets live online once per month for 3 hours.

All classes will happen online via Zoom. Based on the desire expressed by local California students, some of the classes may also have an in-person attendance option in Santa Cruz or San Francisco, CA (we'll decide this as a group later).

Course material includes monthly handouts, recommended reading, and guidance for home practice.

Course Dates

Class meets one Sunday per month from 9 am – 12 noon (Pacific Time) for nine months. Students are encouraged to attend the live classes online whenever possible and will have access to class recordings for the whole month until the next class.

October 2: Physical Petal

December 4: Emotional Petal
January 8: Ancestral Petal
February 5: Financial Petal
March 5: Relational Petal
April 2: Sexual Petal
May 7: Creative Petal
June 4: Environmental Petal

Summer: For the three months of summer, we will play with ways of integrating across the Nine Petals, refining our personal practice, and living the practice in the world. Those who are interested in working toward Clearbright Coaching certification will be guided to create a personal project for the summer term.  

Since many of us travel during the summer months, live class attendance (online and/or in-person) will be optional. As usual, students will have access to the class recordings. 

The specific themes in these three classes will emerge based on the unique needs of the group. 

July 2: Integration and Personal Project

An experiential journey into the Daoist spirit of Zen and the Shinto heart of ceremonial tea

The course is taught in English.

Join Gerow Reece and Cain Carroll, for this engaging weekend retreat at Zen Center Altbäckersmühle in Singhofen, Germany.

Gerow’s warm presence will welcome you into the remarkable experience of tea. Cain’s attuned guidance will lead you into an embodied exploration of key Dao-Zen principles and practices.

Together, in a circle of mutual support, we will trace historical threads to explore how the Daoist worldview, prevalent in ancient China before the arrival of Buddhism, provides key insights into the unique mindset and practice of Ch’an/Zen. With mindfully whisked bowls of matcha tea in hand, we will experience how Shinto, Japan’s indigenous spiritual culture, illuminates a deeper understanding and appreciation of Zen-Tea, human relatedness, and the sacredness of all life.

Join us in a relaxed and communal atmosphere as we integrate study, stillness, movement-based somatic practices (Qigong), and mindfulness into everyday activities.

Participants of all levels of experience are welcome.
