“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.

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

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.

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)

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

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

“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!”

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:

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

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.

About Your Facilitator

Hi! How are you holding up these days? When asked how I am doing, I keep telling people "I’m surfing the wave into the unknown…. ups and downs, micro adjustments here and there, taking things moment by moment.”

That's the only way I know to remain calm and centered while navigating the unknown, and all of the ground shifting and changing around us.

I have a few tools that have been REALLY helping me handle the overwhelm and anxiety that I've been feeling.

The two biggest helpers, have been Acupuncture and Meditation. So that’s the core of this offering to you!

I would LOVE to share these medicines sprinkled with many other practices to support you through these times. I am so happy that I can present this IN-PERSON series, with all of our Covid Safety Measures in place, at Village Wellness again! Space is limited to 4 people per month. Maybe one of them is you!
