Wanderlust Oahu 2019

The main work of my life is to make sure that Nature remains the source of our deepest spiritual sustenance. As a surfer, I see the ocean as my temple, my playground, my gym and often our supermarket. We are so intimately connected to the ocean—every tear and every drop of sweat comes and goes from the ocean; every second breath we take is produced by the plankton in our Oceans. Yet, the ocean is in incredible trouble.

Like you, it makes me angry. However, yogic wisdom has helped me transmute my anger into energy for constructive change. EcoKarma is a call for ecologists and yogis to manifest the changes they want to see in the world with integrity and love. Come check out what lights a fire in my heart and discover how we, yogis, can be a positive force on this planet together. If you're ready to walk your talk, let's gather for a beach clean up after the talk and finish the day with a fluid vinyasa yoga practice as well as a ritual that honors our connection to the Ocean.

Through yoga, embodiment practices, meditation and philosophy you will develop insights about how nature is our essential spiritual portal. While your asana practice will gain a fresh context, fluidity and blissful vitality, your heart will feel uplifted and connected to something beautiful.

*Please bring an object you found in nature that means something to you for our Blissology Mandala that we will collectively create as a community at the start of this class. Examples could be fallen leaves, flowers, seeds etc.
Class time devoted to lecture: 31-45 minutes

Join Sustainable Coastlines Hawaii and Chelsey Korus on an adventure to a beautiful deserted beach rarely visited by anything other than endangered monk seals, turtles, and fish. Sadly though, Kahuku Beach is also one of the dirtiest beaches on the island where plastic pollution from thousands of miles away washes ashore after a strenuous journey through the North Pacific Garbage Patch (the Gyre). Join us as we show the Kahuku Coastline aloha by removing as much plastic pollution as we can.

Enjoy a beach rarely visited, and open your eyes to what a collective effort can have on the beautification of our coastlines.
