September Gifts & Graces with Gurudev Shri Amritji
2023-09-08 18:00 - 19:00
Join Gurudev Shri Amritji as he shares his message from his Book “The Body-The Book of Secrets”
“I discovered my body is the Book of Secrets. I experience it through the awakening of prana shakti. When I am connected to the body, the creation of the Divine, I am connected to the Divine that is manifesting through the prana shakti.” – Gurudev Shri Amritji
To grasp the revolutionary messages and guidance you do not need to know anything about yoga. You only need an openness to absorb the teachings and surrender to heartfelt urgings from your true self, the divinity within. Allow yourself to receive and feel the vibrations and essence of this work in your core. During Gifts & Graces you will gain tools to end self-destructive habits and compulsive behavior patterns and learn how to find peace within yourself and others.
Gurudev Shri Amritji is the original carrier of the Kripalu Shaktipat Lineage to the West. This ancient lineage from which he came ignited the fire that began the initial renaissance of the Inner Dimension of Yoga in the 20th century. For more than 60 years, Amritji has founded some of the largest yoga and health centers in North America.
After Gifts and Graces, come experience a mini energy session from one of our practitioners or vendors. Toe Reading, Reiki, Tarot Reading, Polarity, Coaching and more will be available. Gratuities are Suggested.

October Gifts and Graces: Remembering the Way Home
2023-10-06 18:00 - 19:00 | Southwest Institute of Healing Arts, 1538 E Southern Ave, Tempe, AZ, 85282, United States
Our world is increasingly in a crisis of separation and isolation. With influences all around us seeking to keep us alone and make us forget that we are all connected. We are all related. We all belong. As we move into Autumn when the Earth reminds us of the need to slow down and look within, the most powerful healing comes through remembering our individual and shared humanity. This night, we go on a journey, through Polarity, breath, movement, and sound as we seek to reconnect with our way home.
Join Dr. Brad Boute, Gary Strauss and Dr. Steve Kingstein. As part of this night, we are all invited to participate in a Shamanic Healing Ceremony through Music. Composed by Dr. Steve Kingstein, “Songs for the Four Parts of the Night” invites us all to share in the healing words of Owl Woman, a Tohono O’odham woman from the turn of the 20th century.
“A composer’s intention is paramount in the creation of any piece of music. It is the primary aspect of the work that must be addressed without deviation or dilution. The music I have composed to accompany these poems is unlike any that I have written for the concert hall, commercial work, or musical theater. My intention for this music is that it is an element of a Shamanic Healing Ceremony. Rather than having been written for an audience; it was created in service to the listening participants. If I was successful, there will be a symbiotic “oneness” in place between the music, the poetry, the narrator, and those who seek any form of healing. I invite all who hear Songs for the Four Parts of the Night to “hollow out” and reap the bounty of Owl Woman’s healing spirit”. ~ Dr. Steve Kingstein
Dr. Kinigstein’s Bio
Originally from New York, Dr. Steven Kinigstein began studying Guitar and Music Theory at the age of eight. He played his first professional gig at the age of twelve. Unable to afford formal composition lessons, he initiated his compositional training by studying the scores of the masters which were available at the Library of the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center.
Upon completing high school, Steve went on the road with several different bands. Tired of life on the road, Steve settled In Manhattan, where he earned his living as a studio guitarist and as an orchestra member in several Broadway shows. During that period of time, he studied Renaissance Lute with Michael Jaffee of the Waverly Consort, and Jazz Guitar with Jim Hall, George Benson, and Ike Isaacs.
His formal training as a composer began at Manhattan School of Music under the guidance of Ursula Mamlok. Milton Babbitt was made aware of Steve’s music, and with his recommendation, Steve received a full merit-based scholarship to Columbia University where he earned his Master and Doctoral degrees.
After Gifts and Graces, come experience a mini energy session from one of our practitioners or vendors. Toe Reading, Reiki, Tarot Reading, Polarity, Coaching and more will be available. Gratuities are Suggested.

December Gifts and Graces: Answer the Call
2023-12-01 18:00 - 19:00 | Southwest Institute of Healing Arts, 1538 E Southern Ave, Tempe, AZ, 85282, United States
“The Divine does not necessarily call the qualified; the called are qualified by their willingness!”
Have you ever felt an inner knowing that you were to do something, yet you just couldn’t quite put your finger on what that something was? Or, have you ever known what you were called to do, yet question why you were called, or if you were really qualified to answer the call?
You are not alone! Many people experience an inner itch or urge to step up to a higher calling, yet find themselves questioning! Will Zecco and KC Miller have experienced this exact thing, and have figured out how to step beyond confusion or the “imposter syndrome.” Join them for Gifts and Graces as they share five very specific steps for getting out of your own way, how to tune into what’s really true for you and the prayer to use for continued, on-going guidance. There will be song, laughter and affirmations, along with a Reiki blessing!
PS – If you are a Reiki Practitioner, please join us to offer the guest of Gifts and Graces a blessing of prosperity and protection.
Will Zecco has answered many calls in his life, from hairdresser to Singer to Director of Yoga Student Services; Will has felt the fear and questioned his calling. On each step of reinventing himself, there has been a lesson in building resiliency, developing emotional intelligence and self-awareness, and cultivating a growth mindset to get beyond adversity and stress.
KC Miller was a farmer’s daughter, with a bad case of dyslexia growing up, who started her career selling grain bins in northern Colorado. There was nothing that technically qualified her to start a nationally accredited college that became approved by the US Department of education, yet she was willing! She firmly that ‘there is a plan’ for every soul here on earth, there are no extra souls, and that we will be shown the way when we listen with our heart.
After Gifts and Graces, come and experience a mini energy session from one of our practitioners or vendors. Toe Reading, Reiki, Tarot Reading, Polarity, Coaching and more will be available. Gratuities are suggested.
