That’s not all \nwe have in common. \nDid you know that mushrooms are genetically more closely related to humans than they are \nto plants. We share an ancient common ancestor. \nDid you know\, some of these ancestors were alien visitors to this planet\, they arrived here \nmany moons ago\, bringing with them extra-terrestrial resources and organic technology…plus the key ingredients that would permit life as we know it today on Earth? No… Curious to learn more? \nPrepare to be amazed as Darren explores the intriguing notion that humans are essentially \nmushrooms having a human experience.

Darren takes us on a \nchronological and geographical journey through time and space\, offering valuable \ninformation through academic references. He highlights correlations in symbolism and \nlanguage that reveal thought-provoking insights. \nDarren will explore the revival of the archaic feminine through mythologies and traditions that \nconnect the psychedelic experience to the Goddess mysteries. He’ll examine how these \nhave become encoded in various mythological and psychedelic rites of passage\, from the \nancient indigenous world to the present day. \nThis presentation will also delve into the ancient African and psychedelic roots of Yoga and \nits forgotten philosophy. We’ll explore ancient mythologies that link the human entheogenic \nexperience with the pathway of sacred union. Together\, Yoga and psychedelics can take one \non a journey that explores the power of the mind and the full potential of the human body\, \nleading to mystical sacred union experiences. \nJoin us for this bespoke presentation that promises to be an enlightening journey through the \nancient wisdom of Africa. Prepare to expand your understanding of human spirituality and \nconsciousness in this unique exploration of our shared ancestral heritage. \nDuration: 2.5 hours \nPrice: €20 (online) €25 (door) \nMax Capacity: Unlimited \nVenue: Yoga Roots Odeceixe \n  \n16:30 – 20:30 Afternoon workshop: The Shroomshop with Darren Le Baron \nThe Shroomshop: Mushroom Cultivation for Beginners \nCome and learn the basics of mushroom cultivation and explore various techniques for \ngrowing gourmet and medicinal mushrooms. This will be a hands-on experience and will \ncover everything you need to know to get you started. \nMushrooms’ therapeutic value has been prized in indigenous cultures for thousands of \nyears. In the past few decades\, they have become even more popular for their medicinal \nqualities in the West\, as a result of an expanding body of scientific research supporting their \nnumerous health benefits. \nYou will gain valuable insights into the world of mushrooms and unlock the potential for \nproducing your own food and medicine.

Estr. Nacional 1\, 8670-320 Odeceixe\, Portugal. You cannot miss it (Google maps) \nWe have all gender dressing rooms and toilet\, but we recommend you come to the shala with your practice clothes on. There is no shower at the shala. As the village is very small\, it is easy to walk to the shala wearing your practice clothes and take shower after the practice at your guest house or other type of accommodation. \nYoga Shala Odeceixe has wooden floor. Yoga mats and blocks are available. Anyhow we recommend bringing your own mats to keep good hygiene and make sure that you have a mat which you like. \nNext to the yoga shala there is a mini market\, bakery and our Chai park where you can sit under the local “holy” tree and sip your well deserved Chai tea (or herbal tea). The village’s coffee shops and restaurants are just around the corner for the breakfast\, hang outs and meals. \nTreatments \nPetri and Wambui are offering treatments during the workshop. Wambui is giving Chavutti Thirumal (massage by foot press) treatments and Petri is giving Energy healing / bone setting treatments. Please let us know if you are interested and we can book a time. \nSmall Yoga Shop downstairs by the office we are selling local natural products. \nOur Teaching method: \nWe follow and respect the Ashtanga Vinyasa system as taught by T. Krishnamacharya and K. Pattabhi Jois\, but are aware the harm their teaching method have caused. \nWe center each individual practitioner and their unique needs and capabilities. We do not follow a dogmatic\, ‘one size fits all’ approach to the Ashtanga method. Our aim is for healing\, both the physical and spiritual; acceptance and freedom. We’re open to discussing your individual Ashtanga practice and find ways how the method can be customized for your needs. Please feel open to sharing anything with us which might affect your practice at the moment (i.e. injuries\, childbirth\, etc). \nPhysical Adjustments + Informed Consent: \nWhile the assumption in the Mysore room is that people come for physical adjustments\, we practice asking for permission before physically adjusting you. Consent is crucial and non-negotiable. If you’re happier not to be physically adjusted during your asana practice\, we respect this choice as well. We will check in on a regular basis regarding consent to being physically adjusted. Some days you may want to be adjusted and other days not\, and we welcome this. Feel free to be yourself and find your own way to practice Ashtanga. We are here to help you in your yoga process. \nOur Big Why:\nWe believe the practice of yoga can heal the world\, both on and off the mat. We also understand yoga to contain wisdom for both individual self- transformation and collective\, societal progress. In this spirit\, we are survivor-centric and survivor-oriented\, and abuse\, sexual assault\, and discrimination of any kind will not be tolerated. This is a caste protected space and we do not subscribe to casteist beliefs or practices. We recognize our aspiration for our yoga spaces to feel welcoming and warm for anyone who wishes to take practice. We continually contemplate how we can make our yoga spaces braver and more accessible to all\, regardless of race\, gender\, ethnicity\, caste\, sexual identity\, class\, age\, nationality\, immigrant status\, disability etc. Our workshop follows braver space guidelines. \nMental Health Disclaimer:\nYoga can be an effective and beneficial tool for reaching a more peaceful state of mind\, managing stress better and getting physically well. Our workshops and retreats are designed for people with normal physical and mental conditions. If you are on medication\, are currently taking (or have taken) therapy and/or counseling\, or have any known mental condition(s) that would in any way hinder your participation in a workshop or retreat\, please inform us\, as well as your doctor/therapist before registering. We do not provide any specialist therapy or counseling at our workshops/retreats who would be able to help\, should the need arise. If a student’s behaviour causes disruption for other workshop participants and the teachers\, he or she will be requested to stop participating in the workshop and to seek appropriate help. In such a situation\, we do not offer refunds\, but are available to provide any documents necessary for insurance claims. \nWorkshop Fees for Yoga part below: (including 23% vat)\nDarren Le Baron Workshop will be paid separately.

Voluntary workshop exchange option for 2-3 students per workshop. Please ask more if you are interested. \nWhy discounts? \nWe believe the practice of yoga can heal the world\, both on and off the mat. We have witnessed the wisdom contained within the tradition of yoga for both individual self- transformation and collective\, societal progress. In this spirit\, we recognize our aspiration for our yoga spaces to feel welcoming and warm for anyone who wishes to take practice. We continually contemplate how we can make our yoga spaces safer\, welcome and more accessible to all\, regardless of race\, gender\, ethnicity\, caste\, sexual identity\, class\, age\, nationality\, immigrant status\, disability etc. \nOne way we aspire to live by our yogic ideals is around economic accessibility. Yoga should not be a luxury only for those who can afford it. Yoga must be made accessible\, both economically and culturally\, for those who most need it. Based on our individual social locations and whether these identities are proximal to\, or distant from\, power and privilege\, we recognise that institutionalized oppression\, visible and invisible\, recognizable or hidden\, affects how some people are seen\, heard and valued in society. How some are afforded rest and ease and others are not. \nHow some can breath with peace. \nAnd how\, for others\, their breath gets stolen from them\, both literally and figuratively. \nWe wish to balance the scales. \nStarting with our circle of influence in our yoga space. \nIf you identify as more than one on the list above\, please choose the tier that is most essential for you to tend to. We recognize that some of you may embody multiple\, intersecting identities of marginalization\, and would be eligible for multiple discounts. We also acknowledge that there are several more intersections not mentioned that require care and equity. While we aim to extend as much community care out\, we must also protect our energy output and ensure our livelihood and needs as a family are also honored. \nFor those who embody social locations close(r) to societal privilege and power\, this is an invitation to be in active solidarity with others who move through society differently than you. We are sensitive to the fact that life is hard for us all. Being human is hard. However\, there are many experiences that are facilitated for one based on any number of factors\, and having privilege often means that we don’t need to notice the ways structures are set up in our favor. We invite you to pay the full price with a generous spirit. Equity\, meaning everyone getting what they need\, for those who have enjoyed privilege might sometimes feel like oppression. \nIn this moment\, breathe\, slow down and tend to yourself with care and honest accountability. \nFannie Lou Hamer is known to have said\, “Nobody’s free until everybody’s free.” We are all needed to get where we need to be\, as an inter-species. Let’s start embodying this interdependence and interconnection with one another. \nSide by side. \nBoth on and off the yoga mat. \nMay all beings get what they need to be well\, cared for and tended to. \nMay our actions bring us one step closer to making it so. \nPayment Options: \nDarren Le Baron Workshop fees and payment methods can be found from the schedule and from his website https://www.darrenlebaron.com/events/portugalyoga  \n  \nBelow is the Yoga Roots Odeceixe payment informations for the Yoga workshop:  \n1.
