Soon! Three and a half days of epiphanies.
The upcoming May Rally (Rally!) — aka the Special Silly Punk Rock Shivanauttery Rally — is probably the thing I’m most excited to teach this year, other than the Shiva Nata teacher training.
And not just the teaching part but being there and participating in it. Because I need some of this myself.
What it is:
A Rally is an event where you make obscene amounts of progress on your projects.
Even if you don’t know what those projects are yet.
This one is especially shivanautically charged. Double the epiphanies! Play!
And you can use this Rally to work on any pattern or any project you like.
But there will be insane amounts of getting things done, and massive destuckifying and big, huge understandings.
What I mean by a shivanautically-charged Rally:
We’ll be doing slightly more Shiva Nata than usual. And weird, wonderful related stuff that I don’t normally teach.
And with the clear intention that all this brain-rewiring will solve our problems for us.
Not just in a fractal flower way, but knowing that we will get the information we need to move forward on our projects.
No experience necessary.
I’m not kidding.
It doesn’t matter if you’ve done Shiva Nata a thousand times or never once.
All minds will be equally blown.
Why this Shivanauttery Rally is especially fabulous:
Because:
1) It’s extra-shivanautically focused, for people who want it to be.
So if you couldn’t care less about Shiva Nata or are kind of terrified by it, you can just do the minimum and still enjoy the sparkle-brain effect.
2) You can work on any project or any pattern you’d like to bring into your life.
3) It’s amazing prep for a teacher training.
Or you could even do it instead of the Teacher Training. Or your Rally project could be how to come up with money and a plan to do the Teacher Training.
If you like, your project could also be untangling the patterns that say you can’t teach X or that you can’t make money doing Y (whether it’s Shiva Nata or something else entirely).
Or figuring out a fabulous plan for how to combine Shiva Nata with other things that you do or could do.
4) Welcome to EPIPHANY CITY, darling. This is what it’s like in my brain. Also I will be wearing a pink wig.
So really you should probably just come for that.
5) I can’t think of any other reasons. But the people already coming are great. Also Portland is absolutely gorgeous in May. And: grilled cheese!
Who this is for:
Anyone who wants to get more done faster, but without pushing and without the whole ASS-IN-CHAIR thing. Anyone who could stand to have a better relationship with working on projects. Anyone who could use a happier brain.
If you love Shiva Nata. Or if you are shivanautically-curious.
If you could stand to have your world slightly shaken up but then put lovingly back together again.
That’s it!
A rally for working on projects, patterns and stucknesses. Expect madcap Shivanauttery and extreme moments of BING at this wild zen rumpus.
And it is soon:
May 16-19 in Portland, Oregon.
And why I’m telling you this right now:
There is ONE SPOT LEFT…
Updated! There was one spot left. And now there are two, because of a scheduling crisis that is going to be a lucky break for someone.
Maybe Selma and I will see you there. That would be so lovely. And either way, there will be lots of stories and pictures from our adventures.

so this isn’t specifically related to this post – other than OMG how much I wish Massachusetts was a little closer to Portland because i want to go to a rally so much – but more to tell you my Fluent-Self-Shivanautical sign from the Universe –
I’ve been doing Shiva Nata for three days now, and also Havi’s ‘Hello, Day’ starting the day writing for a couple of weeks, and my VPA for the day was for some kind of sign that I’m in the process of moving in the right direction, because my life is soooo scattered & all over the place right now.
So last night I drove past a construction site – and there was a huge sign (ha! a SIGN from the universe – that part didn’t even strike me until I wrote it. how could I not make that connection?!) – anyway – a *sign* – that said SOVEREIGN BUILDERS.
that was totally my sign.
thanks, Havi. Big love.

Sovereign builders! That is BRILLIANT. I love it. Thank you! And yay. I have been getting a lot out of combining the Hello, Day ritual with Shiva Nata as well. :)
