Whether you are a weekend warrior yog student or an advanced yogi, having the authentic and original knowledgeβthe gyanβand the philosophyβthe siddhantβis essential to enhance and accelerate progress in your Soulβs Journey. In this workshop we will cover: Β· All eight branches of Ashtang(a) yog Β· The unique ideology and methods of Tantra yog Β· The intense and mystical kundalini experience Β· The sweet and simple profundity of Bhakti yog in the Rasik tradition Β· Guided meditations and instructions Β· East meets West: the relationship between yoga philosophy and western religions and mystical paths My name is Swami Rosh Krishnanand and have been a yogi and pilgrim studying and practicing in Uttar Pradesh India and Nepal for over 20 years. I present on the ancient, genuine and authentic understanding of the yog philosophy. RSVP and the link to join live are on https://scottspackey.com/swami-krishnanand/

Snazzy Productions Presents Acclaimed Austin Folk Artist Sam Baker Live at the Ugly Mug Snazzy Productions is proud to present an evening of extraordinary songwriting with celebrated Austin, Texas-based folk musician Sam Baker on Friday, November 20, at 7:00 PM at the Ugly Mug in Soquel. Known for his sparse, deeply poetic lyrics and poignant storytelling, Sam Baker has earned widespread critical acclaim and the admiration of fellow legendary folk artists, including Gurf Morlix and Fred Eaglesmith. His unique voice and soul-stirring compositions deliver an unforgettable intimate performance experience. Bakerβs powerful art and life journey are inextricably linked: in 1986, he survived a tragic terrorist bomb attack on a train in Peru. That life-altering experience profoundly reshaped his worldview and ignited his creative calling, leading him to craft songs centered on beauty, resilience, gratitude, and the shared human spirit. Today, he is widely recognized as one of the most compelling and essential voices in modern American roots music. Don't miss this rare, intimate performance by one of folk musicβs most remarkable songwriters.
