Spark the Fire: May 29th - 31st 2009

SPARK THE FIRE ::
World-renowned presenters and entertainers are joining 1,000 Denver yogis and friends, for the most phenomenal event in the history of Denver yoga. This event promises to intensify our individual sacred journeys while expanding the service of yoga into our greater Denver community - transforming both. In addition to deepening our yoga study, Spark The Fire will provide opportunities for community resource networking and very real livelihood support for yoga teachers and practitioners (see Yoga Tavern events). If you enjoy studying yoga or teaching yoga and wish to see yoga continue to flourish in Denver - We welcome you to Spark The Fire!

“Many of our current global challenges represent how alienated
from the practice of true community we have become.”
- Micah Springer, founding member of CYSC






Community
The word community is widely used in our yoga ethos. And while we have an understanding of the community we belong to and have fostered, this concept is far from modern, far from our creation. In fact many of our current global challenges represent how alienated from the practice of true community we have become. This weekend is an opportunity to explore the possibilities of community; both in its origins and through our vision of its future. [ more info ]




The Presenters
We have invited teachers and speakers, many of whom have spent most of their lives in village community. The presenters, experts at facilitating the noble and often forgotten spirit life of each individual, will bring a unique clarity as we are being called upon to shift our global paradigm and our community ethos.

Supporting Non-Profit
This fund-raising, awareness-raising event will contribute 100% of proceeds to community non-profits. Spark the Fire is a never-before-seen event dedicated to preparing our yoga community to adapt to our current economic and environmental changes and challenges. [ more info ]




The Yoga Tavern
Many individuals from our immediate yoga community are facing the reality of this current economic collapse. Spark the Fire is working to answer the question, “What can we do now to support and stimulate our Denver yoga community?” Spark The Fire “Yoga Tavern” events will serve as our community gathering place, dedicated to collectively focusing on these challenges of loss of livelihood while exploring very real solutions.
