Toronto Vancouver Kundalini Activation Process in Canada

Toronto, ON

Toronto Vancouver Kundalini Activation Process in Canada
Join us for transformative gatherings in Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Ottawa, Calgary, Winnipeg, and other Canadian cities. Delve into awakening the Kundalini energy within through Life Force Energy/Kundalini activations, Non-Dual States of Consciousness Transmissions, Healing Circles, and Inner Guidance. We will explore ways to alleviate stress, gain deeper self-understanding, and connect with your Higher Self. **What is Kundalini Activation Process?** *Kundalini* is a term from ancient times describing the vital energy that moves through everything in the universe. Similar to concepts like qi or prana, kundalini is seen as the root of all creation and our consciousness. It's a special, hidden energy inside each person, waiting to be awakened. **Kundalini Activation Process (KAP)** is a powerful method that helps awaken this energy inside you. It's unique because it involves a direct energy transmission that activates this awakening. Unlike practices such as kundalini yoga, tantra, or chi gong, where you work to raise your own energy, KAP brings energy from above down to you, filling you from top to bottom naturally and gently. The energy knows what you need and adjusts itself to your needs without overwhelming you. Regularly participating in KAP can deeply change your brain and nervous system. This can lead to a big spiritual awakening. People in KAP often experience all the different signs of awakening, from the beginning stages to the more advanced ones. One of the cool things about KAP is that anyone can try it, no matter their experience level. You just need to come with an open heart and mind, ready to let go of control and without expecting anything specific. This direct flow of energy helps us discover our true essence.

Outdoor Cardio Ravine Explorers

Toronto, ON

Outdoor Cardio Ravine Explorers
**We are on Instagram @ravineexplorers** We are a hiking group with a twist….of history!  Our 10 km + cardio history hikes aim to not only raise your heart rate but also your awareness of the vibrant history and archaeology of the Don River Valley, and also the neighborhoods adjacent to it. Our urban hikes are quite popular too and are a great way to explore Toronto. These history hikes combine my appreciation for the Don River Valley ravines and trails, my Ph.D. ancient history and archaeology and my goal of staying fit and staying outdoors, year round! **Please note: Only members with clear profile photos can attend hikes. We do not allow guests (waiver considerations-see below) or pets. All members must be 18 years and older.** **WAIVER** By attending hikes organized by the Outdoor Cardio Ravine Explorers and its hosts you have read the waiver, acknowledge and agree to the terms of the waiver below. \*\*\*Waiver\*\*\* I acknowledge that the hiking activities in which I am participating, organized by the Outdoor Cardio Ravine Explorers (OCRE), involves risks which are beyond the control of the Outdoor Cardio Ravine Explorers and its organizer. Notwithstanding the acknowledgement of such risks, I hereby release the Outdoor Cardio Ravine Explorers, members and organizers from all claims for damage however so arising as a result of my participation in this and any other activity organized by the Outdoor Cardio Ravine Explorers. I affirm that I am aware of the nature of this activity, its length, duration and degrees of difficulty and that I am properly equipped and physically able to participate and have the proper equipment. I have no medical or other condition which might preclude my participation. I agree to follow the directions of the leader and any assistants at all times. **\*\*\* Hike FAQ’s\*\*\*** **Attendance:** **Clear profiles photo are required to attend our hikes.** Only members on the Going List for the hiking event can attend. No guests. No pets. Must be 18 years and older. **Mandatory Gear:** Hiking/trail running shoes with good treads. A headlamp or flashlight (night hikes) and for **Winter, Microspikes (see below) are mandatory.** https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07QJXS54G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 **Attitude:** Please be courteous and respectful to other hikers, and the organizers and event hosts. And please, stay on the trail as to not disturb habitat or wildlife. **Where We Explore:** Outdoor Cardio and Ravine Explorers (OCRE) will explore the trails in and around the west and east Don River Valley System- all the way north to Finch Avenue and south to the Lakeshore and the Leslie Spit. We will venture west to the Humber River and east to Highland Creek. We also offer Urban hikes through the city and these have become quite popular and a great way to explore Toronto! And, we offer Storm Chaser hikes - if it's snowing, we are hiking! **Exercise Pace and Terrain:** Our hikes are mostly on the brisker side (5.5km/hr +) with a few moderate (4.0-5.0 km/hr) hikes occasionally. The terrain includes hills, stairs, uneven paths with roots and rocks, bike trails and paved sections. These are “no-drop” hikes, meaning we do not leave anyone behind in the ravines. **Hike Format:** Our hikes will start from a TTC Subway station to ensure quick entry into the ravines. Each hike will have a specific theme and destination. Be prepared to be amazed at the rich history and archaeology of the TO ravines. Hikes take place in the evenings, weekends and early mornings year-round! Our hikes will take place year round in the rain and snow with the exception of thunder and lightning and high winds (if in the ravines). **Trail Etiquette:** Since many of the trails are multi-use, we yield to mountain bikers. Step to the right, if safe to do so, and they will pass. **Cancelling Events/Changing RSVP:** Please respect your RSVP. Your host has researched the route and history, so cancelling at least 24 hours before an event is expected. We understand things come up last minute, but this should be a one-off. If you have 3 "no-shows" or more, you will removed from the group
