TOWARD the WITHIN: Winter Solstice Edition
Saturday, December 20, 2025 from 1 to 3pm

DRYP Yoga
This workshop/ceremony/ritual practice includes meditation, breathwork, light yoga and sound bath featuring the psychedelic, interstellar sounds of the Intergalactic Gong Show.
The Winter Solstice is the shortest day of the year… and the longest night. After which, light, warmth and renewal slowly begin to emerge.
This is a time for rest, rejuvenation and revitalization. In this workshop, we will go toward the within (through meditation) to gather embers for a new fire. We’ll fan the flames of that fire and stoke it with breath and yoga. Then, we’ll rehearse our departure with the help of a sound bath featuring the Intergalactic Gong Show.
To be clear, you are being called to awaken, transform, connect to your inner light, invest in growth, renewal and celebrate your resilience. Rebuild. Renovate. Repair. We’re almost there. Until then, embrace the magic of the darkness, keep your powder dry and keep your candle burning bright. The light is coming and remember, light always triumphs over darkness.
We know this because we see it in nature. Nature moves in cycles. Align with the rhythm of transformation. Brighter days are ahead. Arise. Renew. Take a trip toward the within.
Remember, you are a spiritual being having a human experience. Do as we have always done. Explore the self, the infinite and our long and nearly forgotten history of doing just that. To that end, and in an effort to properly embark on this inter dimensional journey, this workshop includes a complimentary and optional entheogen.
Accept this invitation to turn off your mind, relax and float downstream. In any event, please remember, enlightenment is optional.

Shawnte
Originally from Kentucky but raised in Idaho, Shawnte brings the diversity of his background in theater, movement and voice to his yoga practice. This means focusing on long, slow and deep movement practices with flare, extension and ease for every body, every day without risk of injury or overextension.
In 2015, Shawnte traveled to Bali to complete his first 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training with Meghan Currie and Nico Luce. From there, he taught privately to supplement his artistic endeavors. Then in 2023, he took a second 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training with world-renowned Rasa Yogi Greta Hill and has since leaned into teaching yoga full-time.
In 2024, Shawnte completed Innertrek’s Psychedelic Facilitator Training Program and began including psychedelics in his offerings.
Shawnte’s 20+ years practicing yoga has taken him down many yogic paths including Ashtanga, Bhakti, Bikram, Forrest, Hatha, Iyengar, Power, Rasa, Restorative, Vinyasa and Yin. What has emerged is his own style of yoga that includes long, slow and deep stretches with new and inventive sequencing. Some have described it as similar to Qigong and Tai Chi, while those with acting backgrounds may find elements of the Suzuki Method as well as Alexander and Linklater techniques.
