The Fellowship for Higher Consciousness invites seekers to two profound weekend workshops led by Rudra Shivananda, a globally renowned spiritual teacher and author.

The first workshop, Kundalini Kriya Yoga of Mahavatar Babaji: Level 1 Initiation, will take place on March 15, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Participants will learn the original Kriya Yoga practice mentioned in Autobiography of a Yogi, including breathing techniques for health and vitality, concentration methods to master the mind, and kriya pranayamas to awaken kundalini energy.

The second workshop, Shakti Healing Initiation, will be held on March 16, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Attendees will learn to harness shakti healing energy through the sacred Mother mantra. The workshop will explore hands-on and distance healing, the power of the sun, moon and earth, and mantras for emotional and mental balance.

Both workshops will take place at Loews Ventana Canyon Resort, 7000 North Resort Drive in Tucson.

Rudra Shivananda, a disciple of Himalayan Master Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath, is dedicated to furthering human consciousness and self-healing. He has authored 16 books, including In Light of Kriya Yoga, and teaches a consistent practice of awareness and transformation as a pathway to happiness.

Shivananda will also present a free talk, Living a Spiritual Life in a Material World, on March 14, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Unity of Tucson (3617 N. Camino Blanco). Attendees will gain insight into his Intentional Life Model, which guides practitioners in harmonizing their spiritual journey within the material world.
