The Starhouse | Boulder, CO


READY FOR A SPRING CLEANING?

This March we’re excited to offer a special opportunity to refine and deepen your physical, emotional, and energetic bodies for a true inner cleansing. 

Often after the heaviness or darkness of winter, it can feel difficult to muster up the motivation for meaningful and transformational spiritual practice. For teachers and healers, our inspiration and energy can feel dulled.

We’ll come together as Sangha (spiritual family) to be held by ancient teachings. This Yin Yoga & Meditation Spring Retreat will re-establish essential foundations to refine the inner practice field and our dedication to evolution.

3 pillars for an immersive practice life

  1. PHYSICAL | Home of the Prana Vessel: Yin & Yang Asana Instruction

  2. EMOTIONAL | Home of the Dharma: Through meditation & contemplation, we’ll examine inner methods to relate to our psychological parts

  3. ENERGETIC | Home of the Hara: Pranayama & Chi Enrichment Practices to invigorate and circulate the pranic field

3 Wisdom Realms

  1. HEAD | Methods of Mindfulness, Buddhist Principles, Philosophy, & Psychology, Internal Family Systems.

  2. HEART | divine abodes/boundless states (brahmavihāras ): Intermingling Heart Methods of Karuna Metta Muddita Kshama

  3. HARA | development of Self: Vital Center

  • “Kali is one of the most articulate, informative and enjoyable teachers I've come across. She is brilliant in her abilities to weave content from science, neuroscience, psychology, yoga principles and philosophies into an informative training. It was part retreat and part training that enabled me to dive into my own practice at the same time absorbing new teaching methods, ideas, concepts and connections with others.”

  • "You cannot miss an opportunity to train with Kali. She is an exceptional teacher. This work is transformative, inspiring and healing. She creates a safe, nurturing, encouraging environment. Kali is an insightful, intuitive, gentle and strong leader. Words are not enough to express how wonderful she is. She is a gift to the world. Do yourself a favor and study with her."

  • "Kali provides the keys to the kingdom linking body, mind and breathe with subtle nuances enriched with her deep understanding of the knowledge of Yin Yoga. From the way she utilizes her vocals to move you through a posture or her creative way of breaking down the meridian channels and elements I felt my thirst for the awareness and insight into the Yin practice quenched a new depth of understanding of my body as well as a deeper mindful expansion of boundless nature for practitioners."

  • “The awakening and purification of my heart has been so profound that I may never have the right words to describe this transformation. Somehow, somewhere in the Sacred Valley, I felt like myself again and connected with my heart more than I ever had, I realized I had the permission to heal and I felt a sense of true contentment, which is genuine, unmotivated and unconditional.”

THE STARHOUSE

The StarHouse is a beautiful sanctuary nestled in the foothills of Boulder, Colorado, serving and being served by the community for over 30 years.

Constructed according to ancient geometric principles of ideal symmetry, proportion and harmony ~ in relationship with the land and celestial beings ~ the building itself is a star map. Its axis is aligned with the North Star and it is perfectly oriented to the four directions.

The StarHouse embodies in its structure the changing seasons, fluctuations in sunlight, and dance of the planets and constellations ~ a powerfully supportive space that honors and celebrates the cosmic rhythms of change while nurturing deeper connections between the land, stars and human hearts.

“ If you don’t realize the source of truth, your Buddha Nature, you stumble in confusion and sorrow.

When you realize where you come from, you naturally become tolerant, amused, kindhearted as a grandmother, dignified as a king, immersed in the wonder, you can deal with whatever life brings you and even when death comes, you are ready.”

— Tao Te Ching
