WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.500 --> 00:00:18.009 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Take some time as we come together, and if you would like, you can have your candle or a bowl of water back there, or you can have your water that you wanna drink. 2 00:00:19.220 --> 00:00:28.349 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): But once you've got those those supplies. we'll just take a moment and invitation to drop in the chat 3 00:00:28.540 --> 00:00:39.989 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): how you are. We're in a very auspicious time, a time of Navratri, the 9 Nights, and the 9 celebrations of the goddess 4 00:00:40.090 --> 00:00:53.410 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and Durga puja. And so I wanted to offer a little bit of a practice connected to to those elements. And so as we're just getting 5 00:00:54.550 --> 00:01:06.979 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): getting situated, an invitation to get cozy, to get comfortable, to find yourself in an easeful place, you know, even as the world is 6 00:01:07.110 --> 00:01:23.020 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): really challenging and and uncomfortable, and maybe your world is as well. And so, if you'd like just dropping 2 words how you are in the chat, I'll play a little music, and then we'll get started on our ritual. 7 00:02:04.570 --> 00:02:08.860 Oh, no! 8 00:02:58.660 --> 00:03:03.620 Oh. 9 00:03:43.690 --> 00:03:48.630 oh. 10 00:04:15.110 --> 00:04:24.640 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): welcome, welcome!

This is sort of the simplest form of the Durga mantra, which is own doom Durga Namaha! 13 00:04:45.250 --> 00:04:58.140 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): And this is a time we're in this very very auspicious time. And my family where my family is from. We wait for another 3 the whole year. It's like a big big celebration for us. 14 00:04:58.340 --> 00:05:19.690 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and it's a 9 night. Never a tree means 9 nights. It's a celebration of 9 different forms of the goddess Durga, and she also, like Shiva, is, you know, in her many forms, the energy of creation, of preservation, and of destruction. And 15 00:05:19.690 --> 00:05:40.430 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): often, I think, we we sort of glorify goddesses as nurturing or or just kind of connected to like certain aspects of what it means, the the divine feminine. But Durga is a wonderful example of the expansion of that to 16 00:05:41.890 --> 00:05:43.180 protection. 17 00:05:43.460 --> 00:05:57.070 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): strength, parenthood, but also destruction, and combating anything that stands in the way of peace or of prosperity, or us living our Dharma or living our purpose. 18 00:05:57.550 --> 00:06:09.290 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): And she's known also as the Triumba Cam, or the Trioamba Khay, because of her 3 eyes and her 3 eyes represent fire and knowledge. 19 00:06:09.330 --> 00:06:12.499 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): the sum which is like action. 20 00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:25.720 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and the moon just like passions, or the continued drive, that kind of balance of action and and steadiness, or like clarity of intention. 21 00:06:26.070 --> 00:06:30.440 And so I wanted to invite us into a practice 22 00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:56.009 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): to connect to these energies whatever kind of face of the goddess is calling to you now, and if you're like, for folks who are feeling like sad or cold or tired, you know, allowing the quality of the goddess that is protective, that is nurturing, that is, you know, going to be there and kind of at your back and have your back 23 00:06:56.010 --> 00:07:09.500 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): to support you, and for those who are feeling maybe more energized or enraged, or wanting that stimulation into action and clarity in your life, in terms of ways to manage 24 00:07:09.500 --> 00:07:22.319 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): or address injustice or things in your life that you want to change. Then calling in her her protective energy, her strength building energy, her 25 00:07:22.440 --> 00:07:26.200 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): fierce, you know, sword wielding energy. 26 00:07:26.280 --> 00:07:29.049 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): And that's 27 00:07:29.110 --> 00:07:42.949 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): that son, the son of action. And then also she's got the solar and lunar, the lunar quality of nourishment. And you know insight as well. 28 00:07:44.100 --> 00:07:49.510 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): And just looking at your yeah. Hmm. 29 00:07:52.790 --> 00:07:59.319 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): hmm! Very grateful that you're here, Karen, and I'm glad that you had a successful 30 00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:07.539 court case in which you practice that staya mantra and meditation while waiting for the judge to call on you. Wow! Talk about Yoga 31 00:08:07.750 --> 00:08:16.010 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): in daily life. That's huge. That is huge. Yeah. 32 00:08:16.310 --> 00:08:32.270 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): thank you for bringing that in. And it's like, you know, the quality both of of like doing the action and doing the practice, and then also, like the surrender and the letting go and the letting be in the allowing the time and the space. Yeah. 33 00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:43.610 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): save the day. She lost the case for seeing versus me fighting to win. Wow! So peace and surrender. That's incredible. That's really incredible. 34 00:08:43.669 --> 00:08:49.180 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Yeah, I once had a situation maybe somewhat similar, where 35 00:08:49.300 --> 00:08:57.240 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): there was like a yoga festival. It didn't pay me. They hired me and gave me a contract and didn't pay me. and 36 00:08:57.700 --> 00:09:05.280 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): I decided to take them to Small Claims Court, and they just didn't show up, you know they didn't. They didn't come. 37 00:09:05.330 --> 00:09:20.970 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): And so it was one of those like really being in the practice. I still haven't been paid but but I wanted to try to prevent them from doing that to other teachers. Cause so exploitative to tell people you're gonna pay them for something, and then not 38 00:09:21.370 --> 00:09:24.140 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): And 39 00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:38.569 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): so it's like, in these moments, right? These very real like nervous system activated high intensity. And also, like, you know, maybe you're just tired. Maybe you're heartbroken, and you're grieving. Maybe you're 40 00:09:38.750 --> 00:09:49.680 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): wanting to feel more joyful about something than you do right, or you are feeling joy. And you want to just be with that joy. Right? It's the the possibility of practicing 41 00:09:49.870 --> 00:09:56.340 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): for all of these things, and that is what Madurga supports us with. 42 00:09:56.800 --> 00:10:08.240 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Hmm. Feels good to practice a parta and trust the energies. I say, trust the goddess. Yes, so wherever you are, you can find useful way to be. 43 00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:25.000 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and I will invite the bell, and we'll do a little bit of movement and then tune in in meditation, and I also wanted to bring in some relaxation. So some guided relaxation. I just have been feeling like 44 00:10:26.300 --> 00:10:37.660 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): we're so overstimulated, and there's so much happening that some time to just receive and to rest together might be very nourishing for us. 45 00:10:37.660 --> 00:11:00.870 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): So really, take the time, you know, as I'm talking and giving you a little bit of time to to get comfortable, to maybe make the choice, to shift into a comfortable seat or a comfortable space. And if you're listening, or you're live in office to maybe close the door. There's anything that can bring you. 46 00:11:01.570 --> 00:11:06.620 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): more ease, more comfort, more support. 47 00:11:07.100 --> 00:11:10.170 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and please bring that in now. 48 00:11:10.950 --> 00:11:12.270 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and 49 00:11:12.580 --> 00:11:29.679 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): we'll begin. If you have other applications or other things open just an invitation to let those go, allow yourself the grace of this time for practice, and I'll invite the bell in a moment, and light a candle for us. 50 00:11:30.340 --> 00:11:36.530 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): So with this camel we invoke and honor Turkish E. 51 00:11:36.570 --> 00:11:40.820 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): The sacred fire of knowledge of light 52 00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:44.310 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): the triple goddess. 53 00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:51.589 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): a fire, knowledge, sun, action, moon, desire. 54 00:11:51.770 --> 00:11:54.650 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and intention. 55 00:12:02.870 --> 00:12:17.829 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and you can allow your shoulders to roll back and down. spine to lengthen.

Exhale 61 00:13:53.710 --> 00:13:57.920 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): so deep breath in one third to your belly. 62 00:13:59.100 --> 00:14:01.010 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): expanding your ribs. 63 00:14:02.400 --> 00:14:07.570 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): top of your throat, collar, bones, and upper back 64 00:14:08.020 --> 00:14:10.510 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): long, full exhale. 65 00:14:14.150 --> 00:14:19.210 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): We'll breathe like this one more time together into the belly. 66 00:14:20.690 --> 00:14:22.110 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): sides. 67 00:14:23.150 --> 00:14:24.190 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): top. 68 00:14:25.500 --> 00:14:27.260 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and exhale. 69 00:14:29.170 --> 00:14:33.100 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and allowing your breath to return to its own natural cycle. 70 00:14:44.850 --> 00:14:52.909 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): we'll begin to move in connection with the qualities of madurga 71 00:14:52.970 --> 00:14:56.939 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): of the lunar and solar qualities. 72 00:14:58.140 --> 00:15:08.369 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): moon and the sun. and our left side is often connected with the lunar side 73 00:15:10.190 --> 00:15:12.879 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and our right with the solar. 74 00:15:13.090 --> 00:15:18.209 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): But if for you it feels different than just tecking him with your body 75 00:15:18.580 --> 00:15:19.490 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and 76 00:15:19.830 --> 00:15:22.060 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): adjusting that accordingly. 77 00:15:23.210 --> 00:15:33.960 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): So we'll begin with the nourishment with the connection to the lunar, and so option here to lift up your hand and to start to rotate your left hand around 78 00:15:34.020 --> 00:15:35.420 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): on your wrist. 79 00:15:36.510 --> 00:15:39.560 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and then begin to rotate at your elbow 80 00:15:41.330 --> 00:15:55.740 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and your shoulder. Maybe there's some cracking or some, you know, shifting, and you can move any amount. This could be very subtle, or it could be very, very wide circles. 81 00:15:56.470 --> 00:16:01.610 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and then you can let your whole body kind of circle around to the left. 82 00:16:03.180 --> 00:16:06.759 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Your head and neck move in that direction 83 00:16:09.540 --> 00:16:17.400 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): connecting to the energy of the moon, the receptive, the supportive. 84 00:16:18.570 --> 00:16:20.200 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): the nourishing. 85 00:16:23.050 --> 00:16:50.100 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and one more circle here, if you'd like, you can circle in the other direction. I like to to circle one way, but your option to if you've been rotating backwards or in a counterclockwise way than to circle the other direction, or continue in the same. So just checking in another option would be to begin to circle your leg, so rotating your foot. 86 00:16:50.100 --> 00:17:05.910 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): then your knee, and then your whole leg, either in your seat or lying down or standing, and if you're standing just checking it on your balance, perhaps holding onto a wall or a chair and or 87 00:17:05.930 --> 00:17:10.440 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): finding that core and center within yourself. 88 00:17:12.690 --> 00:17:19.980 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and we'll do 3 more circles. I'm moving my leg around on my chair, my arm around. 89 00:17:22.859 --> 00:17:25.640 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and then gently, slowly 90 00:17:25.750 --> 00:17:35.880 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): coming into stillness on the left side, and as you come down you can bring your hand down to rest on your leg, whether sitting, standing, or lying down. 91 00:17:37.210 --> 00:17:44.110 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Notice how it feels to have honored and acknowledged and activated this sign. 92 00:17:52.860 --> 00:17:56.470 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and then we'll neck 93 00:17:57.750 --> 00:18:05.029 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): our left and right hands together, transferring the lunar and the solar energy into one another. 94 00:18:06.350 --> 00:18:14.290 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): so bringing the light of the moon to connect to the light of the sun and the solar through your hands. 95 00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:30.890 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and from that foundation of the reflection of the lunar energy we can open, our right hand, can let your left hand come down, and then right wrist begins to circle around. 96 00:18:31.250 --> 00:18:42.110 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): knowing that just like the sun and the moon are not the same. We're not symmetrical. Our our experiences, the active side. The generative. 97 00:18:42.360 --> 00:18:54.360 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): more heated side may feel different than your lunar side. Also, life experiences body. 98 00:18:54.940 --> 00:19:06.309 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): you know, nuances. There's no one way to do this, and so, as you like, you can stay there, or, if you'd like, begin to circle around at your elbow. 99 00:19:06.730 --> 00:19:09.960 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and then through shoulder. 100 00:19:11.290 --> 00:19:13.180 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): allowing your breath 101 00:19:13.540 --> 00:19:16.869 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): to help deepen this movement. 102 00:19:22.930 --> 00:19:33.699 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and you can let head come into this body, come into this, or maybe a very subtle movement, subtle motion that no one would even perceive. 103 00:19:33.870 --> 00:19:37.250 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): But you're subtly activating 104 00:19:38.140 --> 00:19:39.800 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): the solar side. 105 00:19:46.650 --> 00:19:55.649 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): And then one more circle this way, and if you'd like, you can keep going or spiral the other way, circle the other way, bringing the earth 106 00:19:55.660 --> 00:19:56.720 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): but 107 00:19:57.880 --> 00:20:03.450 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): knee, circling at the knee, joints thigh into this. 108 00:20:05.340 --> 00:20:15.570 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and then one of the Yoga schools that I trained in in nds fiasa. We would do this every day. When we would come into practice. 109 00:20:15.600 --> 00:20:29.330 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): We would always do some warm ups physical warmups like this before we practice Yoga as an heating the lunar and the solar activating lunar and solar sides of our bodies. 110 00:20:34.750 --> 00:20:41.940 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Few more circles here. and exhaling and releasing everything down 111 00:20:50.100 --> 00:20:54.109 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): moving to stand so option to. 112 00:20:55.220 --> 00:20:56.340 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): So 113 00:20:57.770 --> 00:21:24.780 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): so you can be in use here. But I'm seeing some of you standing, and so I wanted to also join you and you can be on the ground standing or seated. We're going to allow our body to twist left and right. And again, this can be a very slow or subtle movement, or, if you would like to work with that momentum, like to ball my face and let my hands 114 00:21:24.950 --> 00:21:28.819 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): bump into my lower back and lower torso 115 00:21:28.930 --> 00:21:30.510 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): once again. 116 00:21:31.530 --> 00:21:34.720 stimulating the left and the right side. 117 00:21:35.890 --> 00:21:37.200 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): solar 118 00:21:37.950 --> 00:21:40.060 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and lunar energies 119 00:21:56.300 --> 00:21:59.809 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): as you move, perhaps making some sounds. 120 00:22:01.030 --> 00:22:05.940 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): releasing energy through your breath. 121 00:22:06.900 --> 00:22:13.390 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): perhaps inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth a few times 122 00:22:25.230 --> 00:22:36.679 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): beautiful. allowing your momentum to gently and softly attenuate, and then come to 123 00:22:37.410 --> 00:22:41.920 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): a kind of stillness and take your time. There's no rest. 124 00:22:42.390 --> 00:22:49.159 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): So we're in our mountain shape, our Tadasana, either seated 125 00:22:49.500 --> 00:22:55.780 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): mountain, standing mountain lying down, or any other shape. and really finding 126 00:22:55.800 --> 00:23:06.859 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): like, okay, where is my solidity? Right? Maybe there's a bend in the knees. Maybe there's a hand placed on a support. 127 00:23:07.110 --> 00:23:11.150 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): walk a cushion, a table wall. 128 00:23:11.500 --> 00:23:16.839 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): maybe there's a hand placed against your own hand or on your hips 129 00:23:17.170 --> 00:23:18.630 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): finding 130 00:23:19.840 --> 00:23:24.390 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): the warrior in the stable mountain. 131 00:23:24.990 --> 00:23:30.939 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): So, however, you would like to take this strong, fierce mountain. 132 00:23:34.910 --> 00:23:44.560 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): ours might look different. Right? Yours may be fluid. You might be moving in your mountain, others might have their hands on their hips. I do. 133 00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:48.230 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Maybe our hands are together. 134 00:23:50.540 --> 00:23:54.140 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): We'll take a few breaths in your mountain shape. 135 00:23:59.490 --> 00:24:18.409 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Inhale, lift your arms up towards the sky any amount. Palms meet. hands come together at the heart, and we'll do a few half salutations, your choices to how you would like to engage with these, so you can inhale. Lift your hands up. 136 00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:26.240 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): back, then towards the sky. exhale, fold forward the new chair of standing 137 00:24:26.830 --> 00:24:35.629 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): inhale runs back up, or another option to move your arms.

Legs 196 00:39:34.510 --> 00:39:38.209 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): like you're waking up again, or like you're a cat. 197 00:39:39.800 --> 00:39:41.560 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Hmm! 198 00:39:43.980 --> 00:39:54.050 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): And if you would like, you're more than welcome to stay as you are. and a restful. please one. 199 00:39:55.210 --> 00:39:59.119 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): You can roll to one side if you're on the earth. 200 00:39:59.570 --> 00:40:01.989 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): come up to an easeful seat. 201 00:40:04.730 --> 00:40:07.870 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): taking some time to look around you. 202 00:40:08.490 --> 00:40:11.330 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): taking in form and shape. 203 00:40:12.180 --> 00:40:13.300 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): color. 204 00:40:18.760 --> 00:40:22.719 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and noticing the qualities or the energies of 205 00:40:22.970 --> 00:40:25.240 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Goddessurga around you. 206 00:40:25.460 --> 00:40:31.320 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Any solar, any sunlight, any lunar, reflective, cool. 207 00:40:32.160 --> 00:40:38.600 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and fire any fire like an electricity around you, or that allows us to connect. 208 00:40:41.780 --> 00:40:43.670 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): We'll come together 209 00:40:45.840 --> 00:40:49.640 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): thinking about to one another 210 00:40:54.060 --> 00:40:56.309 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): into each of our intentions 211 00:40:56.830 --> 00:40:59.479 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): for this practice today. 212 00:41:05.780 --> 00:41:11.189 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Thank you so much for your presence. Thank you so much for your practice. 213 00:41:12.690 --> 00:41:23.100 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Like you could rub your hands and place them somewhere on your body to give yourself nourishment, energy. 214 00:41:26.630 --> 00:41:27.720 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Hmm! 215 00:41:28.820 --> 00:41:38.850 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): And to take a little bit of time. Leave some time for for any questions, any sharing 216 00:41:39.850 --> 00:41:44.879 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): anything that's on your mind at heart, and could be a reflection 217 00:41:44.900 --> 00:41:52.149 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): or something that arose in her practice together today, or it could be just anything in your practice 218 00:41:52.340 --> 00:41:57.989 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): within your class. Curator, just in your life. With applying Yoga. 219 00:41:58.980 --> 00:42:03.680 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): You're welcome to share in the chats or out loud. 220 00:42:09.080 --> 00:42:10.370 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Hmm! 221 00:42:12.970 --> 00:42:18.750 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Maybe just noticing how feel any different than when we first gathered? 222 00:42:25.750 --> 00:42:27.219 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Suppose open 223 00:42:42.460 --> 00:42:49.769 pīkake she/her: Blah Hakako over, O Picaka I use sheer pronouns. 224 00:42:50.030 --> 00:42:55.190 pīkake she/her: and in Naka culture and Hawaiian culture 225 00:42:55.310 --> 00:42:59.999 pīkake she/her: the left side of the body is the Hina side. 226 00:43:00.050 --> 00:43:07.370 pīkake she/her: and Hina is another Enola another name for the moon. She's our moon goddess 227 00:43:07.480 --> 00:43:13.470 pīkake she/her: and is considered the feminine energy. Who is 228 00:43:14.330 --> 00:43:17.730 pīkake she/her: the director? 229 00:43:17.770 --> 00:43:28.110 pīkake she/her: And then the Ku side is the masculine side, the sun side, and he follows the directions of Hina. 230 00:43:28.390 --> 00:43:37.509 pīkake she/her: And so I really liked Kumu teacher, Susana, how you were talking about all that similarity of 231 00:43:37.690 --> 00:43:40.149 pīkake she/her: the left side being considered for 232 00:43:40.200 --> 00:43:51.709 pīkake she/her: maybe your culture. The moon side and the right being considered the sun. II liked that inter cultural resonance of Mahalo for sharing. 233 00:43:55.380 --> 00:44:06.329 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Okay, thank you so much for sharing that while this cross cultural connections are so like awe-inspiring to me. 234 00:44:06.610 --> 00:44:10.900 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): I've been thinking a lot about, like the universal elements 235 00:44:10.990 --> 00:44:20.390 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and the ways that so many of our traditions connect. And yet also how we can, you know, support like 236 00:44:20.460 --> 00:44:34.950 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): not appropriating and really deeply caring for each kind of lineage and unique expression. And I think we can do both. You know, I think just because we we 237 00:44:36.120 --> 00:44:41.850 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): we honor the roots of a particular practice doesn't mean we can't also hold that universal 238 00:44:43.130 --> 00:44:46.440 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): spirit. And 239 00:44:46.670 --> 00:44:53.190 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): I just I'm feeling so much gratitude to you for sharing, and for this this insight, because it's like 240 00:44:53.630 --> 00:44:55.140 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): it's so 241 00:44:55.720 --> 00:45:10.969 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): indicative of how we are one. And yet it transmits in different ways. And there may be different cultural expressions right where it is different. Or for some of us here we may experience our own expression in different ways. 242 00:45:11.060 --> 00:45:12.170 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): And 243 00:45:12.220 --> 00:45:16.820 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): I also wanna say, sometimes the sides are gendered. 244 00:45:17.470 --> 00:45:28.989 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): I try to not use gendered connections for various reasons. One is because, like I do experience my feminine energy as very. 245 00:45:29.120 --> 00:45:30.160 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): you know. 246 00:45:30.880 --> 00:45:41.380 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): active, right? And so I actually experience the gendering differently than how some people will, you know, explain it. 247 00:45:42.260 --> 00:45:54.190 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): And because I like to stay away from gender essentialism. So focus more on the qualities, the elements, the solar, the lunar, the heating, the cooling right. And 248 00:45:54.380 --> 00:46:05.530 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and for me, that's been a way to be more inclusive with with these qualities, and then also acknowledging like in the traditions, they change, too, like shaves, is 249 00:46:05.540 --> 00:46:25.730 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): masculine and and feminine, and has all of those traits. And then Durga actually holds a lot of the weapons that are typically attributed to often God's not goddesses. Right? So there's a lot of play even within the traditions with with gender and the weight. So so I would say that 250 00:46:26.020 --> 00:46:38.159 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): the takeaway for me is that in Yoga gender is not essential. Right? There's no essentializing of gender. It's not one way or or another. It's very fluid to bringing that forward too great 251 00:46:40.440 --> 00:46:54.029 Rachel (she/her/hers): thanks. This is such an interesting, rich conversation, and the the cosmology of my ancestors is Celtic cosmology, and we're entering into Sauron, which is the Celtic New Year 252 00:46:54.040 --> 00:47:06.149 Rachel (she/her/hers): this upcoming week, and that is ushered in with the Culloc, the Hag, the crone. And it's a fascinating 253 00:47:06.420 --> 00:47:20.800 Rachel (she/her/hers): time to be ushering in darkness and darkness is something to be comfortable with, not feared and defined. Our refuge in home and darkness is really blessed in the Celtic cosmology. 254 00:47:20.950 --> 00:47:30.779 Rachel (she/her/hers): And so and I think it's interesting when you look at like like various cosmologies. And there's like you were saying you were. Both were saying. There's like cross 255 00:47:30.850 --> 00:47:36.669 Rachel (she/her/hers): referencing in some of these things that's really rich. There's this sort of like the collective 256 00:47:36.770 --> 00:48:00.840 Rachel (she/her/hers): consciousness that makes its way through cosmologies, you know, regardless of location. Perhaps even pre trade routes, you know. So that's so fascinating. And I just want to comment aside in the northern hemisphere. Here we are entering into the full moon and the lunar eclipse which is 257 00:48:01.530 --> 00:48:09.409 Rachel (she/her/hers): on top of everything that's happening in the world. It's just a time entering into Scorpio, so it's a time of like 258 00:48:09.630 --> 00:48:23.219 Rachel (she/her/hers): intensity, darkness, and it can be rich richness in that as well. But that revelation of the full moon and the eclipse is also present, regardless of our cosmology that's here. 259 00:48:23.370 --> 00:48:24.140 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Hmm. 260 00:48:25.010 --> 00:48:32.500 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): thank you, Rachel. Yes. in passing to Karen, let me see your hand. 261 00:48:33.330 --> 00:48:40.900 Karen McMillan: I'll make it quick. I was just thinking about what the Cocky was saying so. Thank you. That was so beautiful, both of you. 262 00:48:41.700 --> 00:48:54.029 Karen McMillan: and I'd love the way I not only do I feel connected to the saga, I feel like there were really one mind, because, as we were practising that universality was what the message was for me. 263 00:48:54.240 --> 00:48:58.119 One of the reasons is because several of the movements 264 00:48:58.300 --> 00:49:00.620 Karen McMillan: are also present in Tai Chi. 265 00:49:02.330 --> 00:49:20.929 Karen McMillan: So you begin to realize how ancient wisdom is it like an absolute? No, it's just like these universal truths. And it's so beautiful, so like. When we swing and do this, we do something with close fist, but it's very gentle. At the end of the practice called beating of the drums. That's Tai, chi. 266 00:49:21.960 --> 00:49:32.540 Karen McMillan: yeah. And then at the end, we also do this at our meditations, when we would have our meditations and then share the energy, and I hadn't seen anyone else do that. So 267 00:49:32.700 --> 00:49:38.090 Karen McMillan: just came up for me just the similarities in the 268 00:49:42.250 --> 00:49:47.169 Karen McMillan: oh, the other thing I was going to say for Rachel. the other oneness is 269 00:49:47.240 --> 00:50:05.159 Karen McMillan: that, and and also Pataki, I should say, for both of us the whole feminine concept in my business. I speak yin and yang, and in the yin and yang, and Yin and Yang people think there's a feminine and a masculine, but that's the yin and the young. There's a little feminine, the little white and a black. 270 00:50:05.380 --> 00:50:09.920 Karen McMillan: the feminine, and the little black in the white, the feminine, and the masculine. 271 00:50:10.080 --> 00:50:18.289 Karen McMillan: So that always made me feel like, really, isn't that absolute definition that we speak up? It doesn't exist. And ancients know that 272 00:50:18.530 --> 00:50:20.790 Karen McMillan: so just wanted to share that. 273 00:50:23.150 --> 00:50:38.869 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Oh, I love this so much, all of these shares. And I was just gonna say, too, I feel like it's mirrored in the helix, right? That helix that we see in the caduceus. And also, you know, in like what science has 274 00:50:39.240 --> 00:50:52.309 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): has identified even in every one of ourselves. Right? We've got this kind of energy lines moving and in Vedic understanding, we've got 275 00:50:52.340 --> 00:51:11.599 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): noties that are like the the lunar, and then the solar, and then they cross, and everywhere they cross is a Chakra point or an energy point which is a point of realization. Right can be a point of of inquiry and a point of realization. And 276 00:51:11.710 --> 00:51:21.189 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): there are some systems, some Vedic systems that see these lines, not just in each of us, but in the world right out in the world. And so 277 00:51:21.900 --> 00:51:33.969 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): so that that universality is like the points where our cosmologies and our understandings cross energetically. So it's like the as in the micro is also in the macro. 278 00:51:35.080 --> 00:51:35.980 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Yeah. 279 00:51:38.580 --> 00:51:42.449 Stacey D. (She/Her): I'm looking at Stacy. Were you gonna share something 280 00:51:44.680 --> 00:51:47.310 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): you're unmuted. So I thought, maybe 281 00:51:51.630 --> 00:52:05.680 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): if you've ever been in ytt with me, you know. I know. I don't think there's accidents sometimes. Yeah, since we're muted. Maybe there's something to share. Yes, I'm sorry I accidentally pressed that button. I'm actually eating 282 00:52:05.750 --> 00:52:07.840 Stacey D. (She/Her): my breakfast right now. 283 00:52:08.460 --> 00:52:13.240 Stacey D. (She/Her): I love being here, and you know, listening to 284 00:52:13.260 --> 00:52:16.029 Stacey D. (She/Her): so many beautiful people from across 285 00:52:16.450 --> 00:52:29.830 Stacey D. (She/Her): wherever you are. I don't even know. But I know you. You're far away from me and I can relate to 286 00:52:30.000 --> 00:52:33.829 Stacey D. (She/Her): what you were saying about the 287 00:52:33.850 --> 00:52:39.340 Stacey D. (She/Her): cross cultural references in Yoga. I'm 288 00:52:39.370 --> 00:52:56.220 Stacey D. (She/Her): Cree, which is indigenous. It's actually a 4 directions people and I'm in a language class right now to reclaim my language which was stolen from because of colonization 289 00:52:56.510 --> 00:52:59.990 Stacey D. (She/Her): and So 290 00:53:00.110 --> 00:53:07.050 Stacey D. (She/Her): I've taken the 300 h training with Susanna, and it was life changing. 291 00:53:07.390 --> 00:53:11.170 Stacey D. (She/Her): It's it gave me 292 00:53:11.870 --> 00:53:15.400 Stacey D. (She/Her): pimitisoin, which means life 293 00:53:15.600 --> 00:53:23.989 Stacey D. (She/Her): truly. And it was so. There was so many obstacles for me. 294 00:53:24.120 --> 00:53:31.739 Stacey D. (She/Her): And I'm still seeing like the the fruitation. I guess you can say 295 00:53:31.870 --> 00:53:36.009 Stacey D. (She/Her): from my experiences, and just all the 296 00:53:36.190 --> 00:53:40.510 Stacey D. (She/Her): beautiful knowledge that you shared in the training has 297 00:53:40.680 --> 00:53:44.509 Stacey D. (She/Her): positively affected my entire 298 00:53:44.520 --> 00:53:47.799 Stacey D. (She/Her): direction in life, and there's just so much 299 00:53:48.250 --> 00:53:50.340 Stacey D. (She/Her): I mean, you know. 300 00:53:50.560 --> 00:54:06.390 Stacey D. (She/Her): into my life at this moment that I've dreamt of, and, you know, still have the challenges, and I still need support. And I really appreciate this class curator, even though I believe I've only come here 2 or 3 times. 301 00:54:06.860 --> 00:54:12.410 Stacey D. (She/Her): I feel like I have food in my mouth. I'm talking kind of funny. 302 00:54:12.440 --> 00:54:13.550 Stacey D. (She/Her): anyway. 303 00:54:13.610 --> 00:54:21.359 Stacey D. (She/Her): Nice meeting you all. And I'm just gonna go off camera and continue listening. If that's okay with everyone. 304 00:54:21.660 --> 00:54:29.099 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Of course, I'm so grateful. Yeah, so good to see you. And 305 00:54:30.930 --> 00:54:31.670 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): yeah. 306 00:54:33.110 --> 00:54:33.900 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): hmm. 307 00:54:35.700 --> 00:54:42.339 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): want to read out what Justine shared trust in myself trust, and in others. 308 00:54:42.370 --> 00:54:45.680 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and trust in the process is my biggest challenge. 309 00:54:45.690 --> 00:54:55.690 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): My mind understands the concept that everything is constantly changing. Another part of my brain is not on board the fight, flight, fight, fight, fight, freeze, fall on part. 310 00:54:55.790 --> 00:55:03.660 I'm always inspired to hear about other people's journeys on surrendering, and I look forward to the day when I can experience this 311 00:55:03.780 --> 00:55:13.109 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): at the moment I am accepting my system as is, I'm also, I also appreciate relating to the elements helps me remember the connection to Earth. 312 00:55:13.200 --> 00:55:18.470 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): We're part, not apart from the earth. Yeah. 313 00:55:19.020 --> 00:55:24.360 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): that's a beautiful way to put it, Justine. And you know, I don't know. 314 00:55:24.690 --> 00:55:32.029 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): I'm not a realized being, but I certainly have moments of realization. But 315 00:55:33.140 --> 00:55:35.010 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): I don't know 316 00:55:35.100 --> 00:55:47.370 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): if anyone really is okay within permanence, you know. Really, really, maybe maybe some people are. But for me it's like moments and circles and spirals and 317 00:55:47.490 --> 00:56:11.450 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and in a way, it's like the practice. Yeah, just look at on paper, right? It's I was writing about and thinking about reading about the Sanyasen stage, which is, you know, in the stages the 4 stages of in Yoga Practice studentship, you know, and householder, and then, like forest Dweller, and then renunciate. And I think of 318 00:56:12.760 --> 00:56:17.889 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): again, I've had moments of renunciation, moments of letting go moments of non attachment. 319 00:56:18.150 --> 00:56:28.630 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): II don't know, and I'm not at that stage age wise, anyway, but I don't even know if that's the goal. I think of them as not absolutes, but more like 320 00:56:28.810 --> 00:56:29.650 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Mike. 321 00:56:29.840 --> 00:56:49.680 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): things to spiral in, in and out of, and there's wisdom to be taken from each part right? So there's wisdom to from the attachment. There's wisdom to from the the ways we, we, the things that we are so wild up by or connected to or attach to. You know it's it's not. 322 00:56:50.920 --> 00:56:52.530 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): It's not just 323 00:56:53.140 --> 00:57:02.189 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): one way, even though I do think in yoga particularly, we get sort of sold on the idea that it's better to be 324 00:57:02.580 --> 00:57:09.319 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): detached. It's better to be, you know, and of course it's a practice. It's a value. We're practicing Apari Graham. 325 00:57:10.250 --> 00:57:29.140 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): but there's so many ways to hold that, and even to not be too attached right to the to being unattached, but just being like you said like it is what it is for you. What for? Now that for me feels like it right like in this stage, in this moment, in this place in my life, like I'm practicing. 326 00:57:29.180 --> 00:57:33.820 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): And I have things that I care about and things that I'm attached to. 327 00:57:33.960 --> 00:57:34.850 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Yeah. 328 00:57:35.450 --> 00:57:52.389 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): I think we don't have many examples of healthy attachment. Right? I so agree with that, Rachel. It's like, when I was especially in the my twenties and thirties and thinking about relationships and in relationships is like codependents, right? Complete independence. 329 00:57:52.700 --> 00:58:14.280 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): And what does it look like to be interdependent? It's almost like a like that. Like we don't. We're we're trying to not be codependent on the things in our lives, but also not be like, you know, in reaction to that, like, I am so independent, and I will do it all my own, you know, not text anyone and anything. And then there's this third way. 330 00:58:14.500 --> 00:58:21.370 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): I'm looking to see if I have my one of my favorite analogies is. 331 00:58:21.650 --> 00:58:46.030 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and somebody has heard me share this before. But I'll just bring it back, and my hair is dark, so you can't even see this. But the rubber band of we're holding the tension between the thing and and maybe not attachment. And if we hold it too hard. What happens? The rubber band? It snaps right, and if we release it, just kind of collapses. But if we just hold that with our practices 332 00:58:46.040 --> 00:58:48.150 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): that forms a new way. 333 00:58:48.160 --> 00:59:02.509 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): And so for me, that was the the practicing of your ethics, the Karma of the right, the actions of the Yamas was holding that tension, and particularly around relationships, kinda came up as an example. 334 00:59:02.890 --> 00:59:17.380 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): was not rebelling against being a relationship, but also not being codependent. And then finding this other way of creating an actual, healthy relationship. And we don't have a lot of models of that in relationships or in spiritual practice. 335 00:59:17.430 --> 00:59:27.379 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): And I think we're modeling that right, we're kind of exploring that together in our various ways and in our lives and with our examples and with our communities. 336 00:59:27.380 --> 00:59:47.639 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): And so this helps me a lot to remember, like part of it is just hold the tension like hold, the practice being the practice, and a new way will come, even if I can't see it from here. And then, of course, what happens when you get to that new way right like. Well, my, it's it popped off. But what happens is 337 00:59:47.780 --> 01:00:04.789 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): another hair time. So you're holding the tension. Here's the new way. That new way becomes a poll in the next right that you then hold that and that that's growth that's like spiraling and learning right? And and maybe when did we get to realization? 338 01:00:05.330 --> 01:00:15.199 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Sign me up for the forest feller. Yes, that I have the so great. So 339 01:00:15.820 --> 01:00:20.010 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): So with that, we're we're at time, and I just wanna 340 01:00:20.400 --> 01:00:22.270 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): want to kind of leave us with 341 01:00:23.710 --> 01:00:32.169 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): 2 things, and one is the energy of Zurga through this time, and the goddess and the ways that nourish you. 342 01:00:32.180 --> 01:00:45.470 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): And then, also, if there's anything you're taking with you to support your practice. And for me, it's definitely gonna be the reminder of of this and not attaching either to non attachment. 343 01:00:45.480 --> 01:00:55.349 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): So you can drop that in the chat if there's anything you're taking with you, and or just kind of acknowledge it in your heart, and then we can unmute and say goodbye 344 01:00:56.470 --> 01:00:59.540 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and thank you to another. 345 01:01:05.470 --> 01:01:07.950 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Hmm! So grateful. 346 01:01:08.240 --> 01:01:09.879 Rachel (she/her/hers): Thank you. Community. 347 01:01:11.510 --> 01:01:15.859 Aviana Xochitl (she/her/ella): Thank you.

Oh, thank you so much. It's for me, it added to the feeling, the ambiance, the culture, and the ancient. So thank you. 355 01:01:45.380 --> 01:01:48.739 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): So beautiful.
