Chi! Ka! Go! 8 Year Anniversary

***´¨) Chi! Ka! Go! ¸.•´¸.•*´¨) ¸.•*¨) (¸.•´ (¸.•` On behalf of Chicago’s extended Conscious Community, BrilliantlyMad Collective, and AngeLynx, we invite you to celebrate Chi! Ka! Go!'s 8th Anniversary on Sunday, November 12th, 2017 at yogaview. This will be a very special night as we, not only celebrate our Anniversary, but also say farewell to the Chi! Ka! Go! monthly series. It's been an honor holding sacred space for such an amazing community of powerful creative lightworkers. So much talent and relationships have formed because of all our efforts coming together. We look forward to sharing this blessed final night with friends & family, whether seasoned or fresh. The Chi! Ka! Go! experience offers you featured performances, poetry circles, healing sessions, video projections, live art, interactive workshops, chill spaces, sound journeys, and more. This year we moved through such powerful intentions in our Chi! Ka! Go! TransFormNation year. When we left Yoga Now Chicago in April we didn’t know where we would go next. We moved the next two events to The Emerald Palace as we looked for new spaces and grounded into where our intentions were leading us. Que4 radio opened up it’s doors to us in July and set the intentions for building the “Sanctuary City” with you all. In August our theme was “Sacred Circle” at Que4 and then came back to The Emerald Palace in September for “Solar Cycle.” Last month we opened up the “Galactic Gateway” at yogaview and preparing to set our intentions there again into “infin8.” There are infinite opportunities for growth and connections throughout all our communities as we branch off from this Tree of Life we’ve been nurturing for 8 years now, and moving into the future NOW. We have limited capacity so get your tickets soon $15 presales available through 11-11 $20 at the gate if still available https://chikago_infin8_year.eventbrite.com -=3 ROOMS TO EXPLORE=- Room 3: Main Performance Portal 8:25pm: Sacred Space Setting by Gian Arjan Singh 8:30pm: Opening Intentions & Introductions 8:45pm: Kirtan with Margo Elena and Friends 9:00pm: Open Circle Hour hosted by The Royal Souls Featured performance by Adam Gottlieb 10:30pm: Astro Weather Meditation by John Sacelli 11:00pm: Alexandra the Romanian Bellydancer 11:15pm: Dancelebration with DJZ 12:30pm: Closing Sound Journey (Skylove Solei) Empyre Strikes Back (Visuals) Edward Balloon Hands Bead Cycler (Space Curator) Room 2: Interaction Lab (Workshops) 8:10pm: Lotus Sutra Chanting with Alex Leiser 9:00pm: Soul Gazing Workshop with Allie McFee 9:45pm: Partner Shiatsu with Lizz Medrano 10:30pm: Sound Journey w/ Shannon Harris & Lisa Devi Yeshua (AudioVisual Play Station) Chris Skeduleone (Manifest Station) Room 1: Healing Art Sanctuary Ryan Blume (Featured Artist) Tree DiGuido (Reflexology) Danielle Vespo (Celestial Divinity) Mary Wolters (Thai Yoga Massage) Irma Vazquez (chakraTUDE Psychic Readings) Jane Justice (Sound Vibration Sessions) Tony Holmes (Shamanic Soul Therapy) Ms. Firefly (Body Painting) Tlawil Castillo (Live Painting) PJ Weingart (Body Art) John Sacelli (AngeLynx Alignments) *more surprises to be announced ¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸¸.•*´¨`*•.¸ ☆★☆ FEATURED GUESTS ☆★☆ ॐ SHANNON HARRIS (Audio Pharmacology®) A record label owner for 17 years, professional DJ for 3 decades and world touring DJ/Musician/artist performing in 5 continents globally for the past 14 years, Shannon has releases on labels in Japan, London, Kenya, and Italy to name a few.

Simply being present and focused on the other person can bring waves of relaxation and release. The physical body has the capacity to hold an incredible amount of tension, even unconsciously. One thing this ancient massage offers is an increased awareness of energy lines that have been mapped out throughout the body with the use of hands and feet. Passive stretching, and breath work are two more ways to access this energetic body work that can feel like a very deep massage. Thai massage is a mutually beneficial, shared dance.
