Activating Calm - a 4 week supportive experience to release overwhelm & access your authentic power

Learn more 👇🏼


Activating Calm has made an enormous difference to my life and to my practice as a therapist.  Lance brought me back to my body!  While body-mind connections have long been important recognitions in the psychotherapy world, most of us are still very much in our heads, as are our clients.  Now I’m much more consciously starting a session with breathing, recommending bodywork, and someday when this plague ends I’ll model it.  Most importantly though, Lance reminded me to be a spacious, open learner, and showed me how valuable it is for me to work on my own muscle tension.  Spaciousness allows for more intuition and perception, and feels much better too!  Lance, I am in your debt and very grateful.  Your open, kind, affirming, funny approach to teaching is one I will carry within. - Susan H.


What You’ll Learn

Activating Calm is a 4 week supportive experience designed for those of us fed up with feeling overwhelmed and/or exhausted.

As a collective, we will work together, through weekly coaching sessions and practices, to release our exhausted, anxious or overwhelmed state and anchor more deeply into our authentic power, a calm and focused state.

This workshop exists to help us shift out of a fight or flight response, give us a new perspective, and most of all reclaim our power to help be a force for good in the world.

more reviews

Lance’s thoughtful and well-structured course has improved the quality of my life in every aspect! I am experiencing more ease, patience, creativity, motivation and joy than I have in years. And the great thing is that all of the exercises are portable and accessible to us whenever/wherever we need a little more calm in our daily lives. I am also immensely grateful for the powerful sense of community created by the amazing beings on this journey. The level of compassion and awareness of each participant was inspiring and nourishing, and honestly a little surprising giving we are all remote, but sooo wonderful. Activating Calm is a gift to yourself that should not be missed! - Pauline, Boston


It’s not often that I can say I have been in a constant continuous blissful state. And yet with Lance’s Activating Calm series over a 4 week period, I have woken up each day with a smile on my face, joy in my heart and peace in my soul. The gathering of like minded individuals in community, the easy to access practices and the additional resources all have contributed to an amazing experience. I didn’t want it to end! I can’t wait for part 2. -Marion V.


More details 👇🏼

It has been said that the mind is a terrible master and a wonderful servant.

Did you know that It's normal to feel anxiety and fear, especially when faced with unknowns?

Our brains are terrific problem solvers (even when those problems are completely made up!). We have evolved over thousands of years with a brain designed to keep us safe and ultimately continue our species.

Have you experienced this?👇🏼

Our minds are able to make up lots of scenarios, especially worst-case scenarios in order to solve potential problems and keep us safe.

This gets overwhelming for our nervous system, and when put in the driver's seat often leads to activation of our flight or fight response and hormones that are all over the place. 

When left unchecked this constant protection response leads to an anxious, distracted, and exhausted state.

a 4-week supportive experience

Activating Calm will expose you to your peers, powerful practices, and different perspectives. 

Instead of simply giving you access to information (no need, it’s everywhere), Activating Calm is built around a supportive community. You and your fellow students will engage together in practices that will transform the way you hold yourself in the world.

the time is now

In this time of uncertainty and unknown, many of my patients, friends, and family (myself included) are experiencing new levels of overwhelm and stress.

I just saw a patient who has never experienced anxiety, say "oh, this is what anxiety feels like!" 

To be honest, my nervous energy levels have been overwhelming lately. Even little things can trigger anxiety in me. 

I know now more than ever that the wellness practices I have been fostering over the last 25 years; meditation, yoga,  breath-work, etc are life-savers for me right now. I want to share this with you. 

we don't have to go it alone

Best of all, this journey is not a solo one. You will be along side your peers who are also seeking more balance and calm in our lives. Rest assured, our journey will take place in a private, safe and inclusive space where there is mutual respect and a wealth of support.

Through these practices, you will become aware that even in overwhelm, there is always a way back to peace and well-being.

Ritual Cosmos: Creating your own Shamanic Mesa (Altar Ground)

Ritual Cosmos: Creating your own Shamanic Mesa (Altar Ground)

shamanic mesa

You’re invited

Join Lance Isakov, Mesa Carrier in the Pachakuti Mesa Shamanic Tradition, in a powerful ceremonial space to create and tune your very own Pachakuti Mesa.

This workshop is for spiritual seekers, or those curious, of all traditions who are interested in developing a deeper relationship with both the seen and unseen worlds.

What is The Pachakuti Mesa Tradition (PMT)?

The Pachakuti Mesa Tradition is a Peruvian-based, cross-cultural, living Shamanic tradition. “Pachakuti” means “world reversal” and refers to the time of transformation we are living in now. A mesa is an altar for self-exploration, transformation, and personal growth in which we create a new paradigm of one’s relation to the Self and the Universe. This tradition, in all its richness, is an evolving practice of inner and outer activities that restore balance and harmony to our relationships with All That Is.

What is a Pachakuti Mesa?

In the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition, we interact and build relationships with these unseen realms through the creation of a specific type of altar or mesa called the Pachakuti Mesa. This sacred patterning of elemental expressions becomes the seat of spiritual vision and the game board for interacting with all of creation.

The Goal of our time together:

The main focus of this hands-on workshop is to ceremonially set up and activate your very own Pachakuti Shamanic Mesa.

Through this powerful process will also explore::

  • Our Shamanic Lineage

  • The 5 directions and how each represents an aspect of self.

  • The 3 worlds

To Bring:

  • A square cloth that will serve as the ground of your mesa - (minimum 1 foot sqaure - maximum 2 foot square)

  • A Stone

  • A Shell

  • A Feather

  • A votive Candle (in glass)

Seed Blessing Ritual - Honoring our Losses and Gains as we move towards a post-Covid world

'They tried to bury us, but we were seeds'
- Mexican Proverb

seed blessing ritual

This past year in quarantine and “semi-quarantine” has been life-changing, to say the least.

Re-emerging to "normal life" from "quarantine life" can have its own challenges. There is a power to acknowledging these thoughts and feelings, (joy, grief, fear, excitement, hesitation) and mark a moment of transition, so that we can consciously move forward into the new "normal", in a way that will best serve.  

The Goal of our Seed Blessing Ritual Ceremony :

To, in community, hold space and acknowledge the losses and gains of this past year through a Seed Blessing Ceremony. - an intentional time & space to honor what was and crystalize our learnings, gifts, and newfound strengths, so that we can move forward in a conscious way.

Cost:

As a member of VIllage Wellness Online, this offering is provided at no cost. (donations are welcome). note: you are welcome to invite anyone who you think may benefit.

Please bring:

  • a letter-sized piece of paper

  • pen/pencil

  • a plantable seed of your choosing

The Village Wellness Community SPRING cleanse

“Lance ended up being such a superior resource and cheerleader, that it ended up being the first cleanse that I was able to follow for the whole time. I look forward to the next one and hope it's soon!”

savoy-3860933_1920.jpg

Hi Everyone!

I feel like it's the perfect time of year for me to do a cleanse, lighten my load, and restore eating patterns that I know help me to feel my best! 

Would you like to join me?

Did you know that a cleanse doesn't have to be fancy and expensive with supplements and special drinks? We can simplify our nutrition and focus on whole, unprocessed foods. Bonus: This can lead to positive changes in our regular nutritional choices going forward.

“What a great 9 day cleanse….. Lance’s tips and encouragement were paramount along with his positive attitude to help us all succeed.”

Let’s  gather as a community (virtual) and do a simple real food cleanse

The intention of Our cleanse: 

My intention is that our nutritional adventure together will be one that is loving, non-judgmental (for self or other), and supportive. I hope it can be a journey where we can hold each other lovingly accountable, face our challenges together, and grow  – or shrink ;) together. Ultimately this program is to help us clear through the dietary world’s confusion, start a lasting way of eating that keeps us healthy, and help us feel as amazing as possible! 

It’s so easy to start!

All you have to do is commit to following the program for 9 days, go baby step by baby step, and follow our one rule. As we go through the program you will be informed about why we are eating the foods we are eating.

The Flow of the Restore Journey

  • INFO SESSION - Saturday, March 20th @ 10-11 am ET –The Course will begin with a Live Prep Zoom Call with all the information you will need for the cleanse. (will be recorded if you can’t make it)

  • Sunday 3/21 is a prep day - clean out your cupboards, go grocery shopping, etc. (instructions will be given)

  • March 22nd through March 30th are our cleanse days

  • Saturday, March 27th @ 10-11 am ET – Live Zoom Check-In with moving forward instructions (will be recorded if you can’t make it)

Throughout our journey you will:

  • have access to our Course Homepage with cleansing resources

  • be able to connect with other cleansers and me for support, questions, or to share insight.

  • receive daily resources including tips, recipe ideas, and other goodies.

Cost:
$97 for Members of Village Wellness Online (no code needed)

note: If you are joining us after Saturday the 20th…

  1. You may send payment to @lancei via Venmo (610-203-3747)

Cultivating Freedom from Anxiety and Fear

We start our Basic Training Journey with much needed emotional wellness practices to support you with feelings of anxiety, fear, and overwhelm. 

Each of us deserves to live a life filled with joy and peace, and we can do this even in the face of the unknown.

My hope is that through this month's practices, you become aware that even though overwhelm, there is always a way back to peace.

This month’s Basic Training is designed to help you :

  • Increase ease

  • Reduce the impact of negative emotions

  • Gain a new perspective on stressful situations

  • Build skills to manage your stress, anxiety, & fear

  • Increase self-awareness

  • Focus on the present

  • Increase imagination and creativity

  • Increase patience and tolerance

Includes:

  • Introductory Call for participants: We will have an introductory Zoom Call August 1 @ 11am EST to go over some of the practices for the month.
    Can’t make the call? No problem! This call will be recorded and send to all registrants.

  • Weekly Outline with daily practices (about 10 minutes/day) , tools, and resources delivered through email

  • Downloadable Daily Practices reminder calendar

  • Community Support via private online forum

How this program works:

  • ONEZOOM CALL We start the program with a live zoom call on August 1st at 11 am EST. (You should have received a confirmation of this call with the proper zoom link.) We will use this time to go over the program, practices, and answer any questions that you may have.

  • TWOWEEKLY PRACTICES. Each Week you will receive a set of practices and support via email that will guide you through each day of the week. I have limited your time commitment to 10 minutes/day or less - the minimum dosage required for effective change

  • THREEGROUP SUPPORT You will have group support throughout the program. to ask any questions or share in the journeys of those of your fellow wellness warriors.

Cost:

one time charge of 110 for the month (NOTE: i never turn anyone away for financial reasons)
