**Karma, simply understood as the law of cause and effect, constantly shapes our experience — our thoughts and emotions, life events and encounters, our relationship with ourselves and others. When unconscious, karma functions as fate.** When illuminated, it becomes a powerful teacher for our evolving soul, a key to liberation and a pathway to a more joyful, meaningful and fulfilling life. **Working closely with her team in spirit, Elena brings her unique ability to trace your soul’s journey across time and space — through multiple lifetimes, ancestral lines and spiritual affinities — to reveal the deeper narratives at play and how you can open to new possibilities.** Through a blend of teaching, “hot seat” exploration, guided meditation and heartfelt exchange, the evening supports powerful insights into your unique path and lays the groundwork for the deeper work offered in [Saturday’s one-day workshop.](https://events.imlicht.ch/event/embrace-your-souls-true-path/) *This event takes place at Im Licht, Seefeldstrasse 50, 8008 Zurich.* 🌟 **Save your place at:** **[https://events.imlicht.ch/event/liberate-yourself-from-karma/](https://events.imlicht.ch/event/liberate-yourself-from-karma/)** **Meet Elena Angel** Spiritual Mentor, Angelic Channel and Energy Intuitive **Elena Angel is a spiritual mentor, angelic channel and energy intuitive, and the founder of the School of Soul Alchemy.** From a young age, Elena was sensitive to subtle dimensions and the angelic realm. Her mystical experiences led her to study a wide range of spiritual teachings and healing modalities, and eventually leave her career in music to devote herself to her spiritual work. **For over twenty years, Elena and her team in spirit have been supporting clients and students to walk their soul’s path, transform relationships and open to more love, freedom and joy.** She is best known for her work with soul purpose, soul contracts and relationships, karmic, ancestral and past-life healing, as well as dreams, visioning and conscious manifestation. Her approach is gentle, intuitive and illuminating, helping you gain clarity, feel supported and experience inner shifts that become lived experience. **[www.elenaangelcoaching.com](www.elenaangelcoaching.com)** **[www.schoolofsoulalchemy.com](www.schoolofsoulalchemy.com)**

My name is MJ Huntsgood, and I am a speculative horror author with award-nominated speculative fiction published in literary magazines, anthologies, and across the internet. I've taught classes online, at conventions, and in other venues. I'd love to bring my knowledge to the community. In this one-hour workshop, we’ll explore how to use speculative elements (science fiction, fantasy, horror, slipstream, dystopian, surreal) as tools for storytelling rather than decoration. The focus is on clarity, emotional stakes, and ideas that actually sustain a narrative. This session blends short craft discussion with guided writing exercises, so you’ll leave with new material on the page, not just notes. **In this workshop, you’ll:** * Learn a simple framework for generating speculative premises from personal, social, or philosophical questions * Explore how to ground speculative concepts in character and emotion * Draft a short piece or opening scene using a focused speculative constraint * Get tools you can reuse for future stories, regardless of subgenre **This workshop is for:** * Writers interested in speculative fiction (SF, fantasy, hybrid, literary speculative) * Writers who want their work to feel meaningful, not gimmicky * Writers comfortable doing short writing exercises You don’t need to be published, but some prior writing experience is helpful. This is not a critique workshop. **Format:** 1.5 hours **Includes:** Craft guidance, writing exercises, and optional sharing **Bring:** Something to write with and a willingness to experiment (a limited number of pens and notebooks will be available)

A unique musical experience called a "Sound Bath" Sound bath! What's that? According to sonic specialist Monte Hansen from Annapolis MD, "A sound bath is an immersion in sound frequency that cleans your soul." Leave your rubber ducky at home. Bring your blankey instead, for this super relaxing immersion! According to cutting-edge doctors from Harvard, some of the deepest most profound healing in the body are accomplished with sound frequency. That's old news though. A 2nd century stone relief in the Himalayan mountains shows us that Buddha and his entourage knew this before Christ walked the earth. The stone relief depicts the Buddha and his buddies playing ancient Tibetan singing bowls. A sound frequency specialist from the [Human Activation School](https://humanactivation.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d88b4fea1b0f4ceaeb58f0e82&id=d6674b4603&e=465ba11f44), will be playing several of these rare Singing Bowls, some of which are over 200 years old. A magical alchemy of 7-12 different metals rings in the past, present, and future for our relaxing enchantment. Even modern doctors are using these old metal bowls for healing, and they are not practicing Buddhists! As a matter of fact, modern Buddhists no longer use the bowls in their practice. Come experience these gifts from the past in this NON-religious practice of our present. Come be rejuvenated or just captivated by this unique musical performance. Bring your pillows, blankeys, and yoga mats and snuggle into the comfort of the tranquil sounds. Feel free to sit, lay, or even stand! ***Did You Know?*** Singing bowls invite the mind and body into a tranquil state of being in which remarkable healing can occur, events that are unexplainable from a conventional biomedical perspective” *Music and the Meditative Mind: Toward the Science of the Ineffable*[Source](https://humanactivation.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d88b4fea1b0f4ceaeb58f0e82&id=9222616fc4&e=465ba11f44) "The sound bath meditation provides a nurturing space to connect and grow spiritually.

We still encourage you to attend our diverse events that may appeal to you. There is always something interesting going on, so keep stopping by or checking our website. **What is Sahaja Yoga?** Sahaja Yoga is a meditation breakthrough founded by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi in 1970 and is based on ancient principles for the modern world. It begins with the awareness of one’s individual energy called, ‘kundalini.’ Once the kundalini is awakened within, the process of meditation becomes effortless and spontaneous, and this leads to complete peace and balance in life. With balance comes lasting joy and well-being of mind, body, emotions and spirit. **Where can I attend a Sahaja Yoga event or class?** You can check this website for upcoming events.
