Courses from the SOLi School
While we often create unique courses depending upon the needs of the group with whom we are working, this list below represents some of our standard courses that have been given all over the world. They have been separated by similar theme.
These courses have been marked with the icons of one or more of the three SOLi classrooms, to indicate which energies are primarily activated in the course. Most courses utilize principles and energies of all three classrooms because of the holographic principle, but at times, there is a specific focus for the work that we do, and that will be indicated by the icon. To read about the icons and what they represent, go to the School Structure section.
Classes are offered by Ronald Holt and/or Lyssa Royal Holt. Some of the workshops by Lyssa are channeled. If you are unfamiliar with channeling or Lyssa's style, please see the article Beyond the Veil to learn more.
This list is meant to give a general overview of the themes of our courses and new courses are always added. When a course is scheduled in the Schedule section, there will be a link to click on for further information pertinent to that particular course.

Seed of Life Level 1
7 Days
Please note that this 7-day intensive retreat is no longer offered, but it became the foundation of much of our work
Offered by both Ron and Lyssa, this has been our signature course since the year 2000. Originally created for graduates of the Flower of Life sacred geometry workshop, it has evolved beyond the material in those workshops into a deeply intimate process of inner integration that activates the energies of all three SOLi classrooms. Through a series of lectures, experiential exercises and meditations, the participant is taken on a profound inner journey to reconnect with their True Selves -- the consciousness beyond the being who identifies as a human personality living a life on Earth. Below, we describe the contents of this powerful retreat by examining them as they relate to the three SOLi classrooms.
The Reflection Classroom - Foundational in this workshop is the recognition that we are more than our bodies, minds, and emotions. The SOLi staff introduces an ancient Taoist practice of Sundoh that reconnects the participant with their life force energy called qi or chi. This in turn helps the participant to release long-held blockages in the body, emotions, and mind. It opens the qi pathways in the body (called "meridians") and stimulates an influx of energy that aids the participant as they move through rapid changes and transformations during the 7 day retreat. This section of the retreat is like the "fuel" for the participant to make long-desired changes.
The Infinity Classroom - With the inspirational guidance of sacred geometrist Ronald Holt, participants are introduced to the teachings of sacred geometry in a grounded and practical way. Central to these teachings is the phi spiral -- the metaphor for spirit -- and how everyone can use these teachings to open the heart and reconnect with their Divinity (in whatever form that means to them). These teachings are presented through a series of profound experiential exercises, as well as through personal revelation as the information about sacred geometry and the holographic nature of reality is presented. These teachings are interwoven through the whole retreat and culminate in a final, life-changing outdoor experiential exercise that grounds all of the week's activities into the here and now and daily life.
The Infinity Classroom - Central throughout the SOL 1 retreat are teachings that promote deep personal integration, leading us to a state of Wholeness that is closer to our true selves. Included in these teachings and experiences are a variety of subjects that are explored in fun, humorous ways as well as practices done with great reverence. We examine the human ego -- the true nature of its existence and how we can befriend it so it may support us. We also explore some of the star family teachings for which Lyssa is so well known, and experience profound meditations and exercises to help us reconnect with our star families. We begin building a relationship with our Higher Selves and releasing old pains that no longer serve us. Central to the teachings of this classroom is the application of all wisdom in the here and now, in grounded and practical ways that can enhance our life as human beings on Earth.

Seed of Life Level 2
6 Days
This course is no longer offered
For graduates of our SOL 1 program (who never want it to end!), we continue the journey of integrating our True Selves in a very special way - with the help of our wise ocean brothers and sisters, the dolphins. It all started when the SOLi staff "coincidentally" met the manager of a dolphinarium in Ixtapa, Mexico in the year 2000. After talking with us, he asked us to bring a group to the dolphinarium to meditate with the dolphins in order to help them. To hear a dolphinarium manager speak of the dolphins as sentient and spiritual beings was astounding! We committed to bringing groups there as often as we could so that both dolphin and human can benefit from the loving contact between us. Since 2001, we have brought groups here with profound results. SOL 2 picks up where SOL 1 leaves off -- but this workshop is less structured and more experiential. It includes many private meditations and swims with the dolphins, channelings with Lyssa, lectures on transcendent sacred geometry with Ron, special Taoist practices to build the body's qi energy, and much more. As of this writing, we have only offered this workshop in Ixtapa Mexico, but it may be possible to offer this workshop in other locations in the future.
SOL 2 - The Classrooms - SOL 2 is a retreat that also accesses the energy of the three classrooms of Reflection, Infinity, and Integration. The Reflection classroom energy is activated through an advanced Taoist internal martial art training that we introduce that rapidly builds chi in the body through posture and focused meditation. We also introduce a specific breath work process that clears blockages and builds chi as well. The Infinity classroom energy is activated through the teachings of transcendent sacred geometry, specifically working with the higher geometries such as the octahedron, icosahedron, and stellated dodecahedron as they are applied to opening the heart. And finally, the Integration classroom energy is activated through our work with interspecies communication and merging - with both the dolphins and the star energies. This workshop, though highly experiential, is a well-rounded and powerful process to assist participants in their personal integration and transformation process. Highly recommended! Note: This workshop is not given very often, so please check our schedule to see when it is offered.

Remembering the Octahedron
(Also known as "Pleiadian Light Body Activation" in Japan.) This unique and popular workshop focuses on the activation of the light body using not only the tool of the octahedron (an 8-sided form that is like two Giza pyramids bottom-to-bottom), but other forms such as the icosahedron, stellated icosahedron, and stellated dodecahedron. But even if you have no knowledge or interest in sacred geometry, the material in the workshop is easy to understand and always applied in a grounded, practical way. This workshop is taught by both Ronald and Lyssa Royal Holt, and their various areas of expertise are woven seamlessly together in this stimulating and deeply profound workshop. (Note: The Japanese version of the workshop, Pleiadian Light Body Activation, is taught only by Lyssa and is usually given in the month of November in Tokyo)
The workshop begins with channeled material from Lyssa that explores the spectrum of consciousness throughout creation and how, even though we are all holographic and contain everything, consciousness expresses itself through different frequencies (or "densities") on the spectrum depending upon the experiences it desires to have. Each density can be represented through a geometric form, and we explore why the octahedron is the form we are working with as Earth begins to transition to a new state of consciousness. We also explore other cultures who use or have used this form such as Lemuria, the Pleiades, and dolphin cultures. This material culminates in the importance of 'tuning' our light bodies to this new frequency, and a simple method is taught through a powerful activation done through meditation. We further explore how to use this sacred form for planetary activations at sacred sites, and how to utilize the energy of other geometric forms for different purposes. Ron, with his amazing knowledge of sacred geometry and how it can be applied to the transcendence of consciousness, provides inspiring lectures and insights on the evolution of human consciousness and how our steps of evolution are intricately tied to how this consciousness is expressed through the geometric tree.
You do not have to have any training in light body activation or sacred geometry in order to attend this workshop, though some basic knowledge of sacred geometry is helpful. While it may appear that this is a left-brained workshop with much information, participants will find that the material is very intuitive and works with a mind-heart integration.
This workshop primarily works with the energy of the Infinity and Integration classrooms.

Channel Training Intensive
1 Year or Intensive Retreat
This 4-module course, taught by Lyssa Royal Holt, is a synthesis of her 30+ years of work as a trance channel. But it is so much more than learning to channel. It is actually a deeply transformative spiritual journey that activates the energy of all three classrooms: Reflection, Infinity, and Integration. Opening to channel, in and of itself, is a deeply intimate journey to the core of our being where we face our own reflection. It has to do with complete integration -- of our dark/light selves, our male/female energy, and an embracing of all of our parts, even those we do not like. Becoming a channel is only a by-product of this course. The true value of the course is in the profound inner work that leads us to the channeling process.
While the course works with the energy of all of the SOLi classrooms, there is a focus in each module on one classroom more than another. This progression through the classrooms is cumulative and holographic at the same time.
Module 1 - Body and Mind - Working mostly with the SOLi Reflection classroom, this beginner module builds the foundation needed for the channeling process to be activated. Here we explore what channeling is and isn't; how the ego affects channeling; working with habitual negative mind patterns; releasing negative self-beliefs that affect self-esteem and trust; recognizing our polarity consciousness and how it affects channeling (and our lives); the mechanics of channeling and its different forms; self-care as a channel and why it is important; processing negative inner voices that keep us stuck; the importance of surrender and trust; what a partnership with a channeled entity really means, and so much more. In Module 1, the student is given a specific set of breathwork and body exercises to prepare for the channeling process, and much homework is given that is practiced between modules.
Module 2 - Energetics - Working mostly with the SOLi Infinity classroom, we start working more directly with our energy fields and the chakras, as well as begin inviting the loving spirit guides who are assisting us to be a more active part of this transformational process. We also explore more about the body's energy layers and meridians; the importance of the abdominal energy center; how to strengthen the energetic field; working with the Higher Self; developing the 'psychic muscles' needed for channeling, and more. We also more actively begin the 'blending' process whereby the channel and the entity (or higher self) begin to more directly work in partnership. We also start to explore the unique talents of each student, to see what form of channeling is right for them. In Module 2, the student is given a specific set of breathwork and body exercises applicable to this module, to prepare for the channeling process. Much homework is given that is practiced between modules.
Module 3 - Channeling Practice - Working mostly with the SOLi Integration classroom, we work more directly with channeled energies and bringing them through to the physical reality -- whether through vocal, written, or other methods. We work often in groups, which is a powerful process that accelerates the opening process for each student. Many other practices and exercises are done including group and individual channeling exercises; how to ground the energy while channeling; how to trust the channeling process and continue growing; how to clean yourself and stay clear as a channel; continuing to build the 'psychic muscles' needed for channeling; how to form a healthy and fruitful partnership with a channeled guide or your Higher Self, and much more. In Module 3, the student is also given a specific set of breathwork and body exercises to strengthen the channeling process, and much homework is given that is practiced between modules.
Module 4 - Graduation - This module brings together all the previous three modules and activates the energy of all three Reflection, Infinity, and Integration classrooms. Lyssa works with each student more individually in this module, and offers private sessions to those who wish to discuss or practice their channeling with Lyssa privately. In addition, more group channeling work is done, and final questions and concerns about the process are addressed. In the year-long version of the course, this module is usually held at a sacred site somewhere on the planet, so that the new channel can accept their role as a channel in an initiatory and sacred way. (Example: Past graduations were held on the islands of Okinawa, and Oshima, Japan). A certificate of completion is offered to each graduate.
Note about the modules: The format outlined above is the year-long version that is offered in Japan. It takes approximately one year to complete, with each module offered every 3-4 months. The format can be changed (within reason) to accommodate a group's wishes. We very rarely offer it as a retreat, because the alchemical process of the course needs time between the modules, which a retreat cannot offer. If you have a group that wishes to participate, please contact us for more information about how best to serve your group. This training program is part initiation, part training, and part deep inner exploration. It is very sacred work and because of that, we ask that if you decide to join the course, you consider it to be a spiritual commitment and devote yourself 100% to the process. Results of the course are in direct proportion to the students' commitment.

Star Connections
Assorted Workshops
Known by different names depending upon the country and the workshop specifics, this series of workshops channeled by Lyssa Royal Holt is based on her classic groundbreaking book The Prism of Lyra: An Exploration of Human Galactic Heritage. In this book and in these workshops, Lyssa and her channeled entities deeply explore the process of creation -- a fragmentation from the Source that created a spectrum of consciousness that eventually expressed itself through stars, planets, and people. Some of the most well-known civilizations are covered, such as Lyra, Vega, the Pleiades, Sirius, Orion, Arcturus, and more. Whether one accepts the information as literal or metaphoric matters not. The tapestry presented by Lyssa and the entities is stunning, and reveals the interconnectedness we all share and the process of integration that is leading us back Home.
This course primarily activates the energy of the Integration classroom and is an important foundational class that provides basic knowledge that supports many of our other classes. No prerequisites are needed, but it is recommended that the participant have read the book The Prism of Lyra before attending, so they may have a basic knowledge that can deepen during this workshop. Audience questions are encouraged, because this tends to bring out more in depth information. At times, guided meditations may be included. CLICK HERE to read about the book The Prism of Lyra.

Galactic Heritage Workshops
Featuring the Galactic Heritage Cards by Lyssa Royal Holt
These workshops by Lyssa, while being able to stand on their own, are greatly enhanced when the Galactic Heritage Cards are used. These workshops were designed to be more experiential, so that students can literally feel the energy of the star consciousness that has influenced Earth's evolution and through this tangible experience, begin to remember their own personal star connections and karmic relationships. They activate the energy of the Integration and Infinity classrooms of the SOLi School.
In 2010, the channeled consciousness Germane, through Lyssa, created the Galactic Heritage Cards - a deck of 108 cards that journeys through our process of fragmentation from the source, through polarity, and back into wholeness. The deck came about because many of Lyssa's clients and students have asked about their own personal star connections. While Lyssa is happy to channel the information, it would be much more profound for people to tap into this information themselves. This card deck is meant to enhance one's ability to access star information -- but not for the information alone. Each card represents a theme that is connected to our galactic family and the journey we are all taking as we move from polarity to integration. Students and clients have commented about how profound these cards are and how accurate their readings are, because the deck seems to reflect the profound truths of our star connections and the lessons we (and our galactic family) are learning on our way to wholeness.
These workshops use the Galactic Heritage Cards, in combination with Lyssa's channelings, profound guided meditation journeys, and attunement experiences to assist the participants in discovering their own unique star connections, karmic challenges, and/or higher guidance coming to them from the star energies influencing their lives now. The workshops are highly personal and experiential, and each participant will come away with a deeper understanding of who they are in this life because of these galactic connections.
There are no prerequisites to take these workshops, but those who have read The Prism of Lyra and/or attended one of the Star Connections Workshops will have a greater foundational knowledge to assist them in this workshop. It is recommended that participants have some familiarity with the Galactic Heritage Cards as well, but it is not required.
Note: We have several unique workshops that utilize the Galactic Heritage Cards. The above is general information. Details of individual workshops will be presented in the schedule section as workshops become available. For information on the Galactic Heritage Cards, CLICK HERE.
Below, we highlight some of the most popular workshops in this category.

Awakening the Galactic Self Workshop (2 Days)
All consciousness is, in its essence, a unified whole. In order to experience profound growth, this unified consciousness created an illusion of fragmentation so that it could experience this growth through polarity and forgetfulness of its true nature. To learn from this experience, this consciousness created individual lives as diverse people on a myriad of planets. The journeys that our galactic family have taken through polarity will eventually lead us back to unity. We are on the way now – and learning about this journey is part of our awakening to the true unified consciousness that we have always been.
In many of Lyssa’s channeled workshops and books, she has presented in depth information about the galactic roots of the human race and the ET civilizations that have influenced us most. This information is important to understand our connection to the universe and how we are all part of an immense family of consciousness that is journeying together through the challenges of polarity and lives in the physical universe.
But information alone is not enough. We also must experientially connect with the energies of our star family (who are other aspects of ourselves) and integrate this energy into our lives here on Earth to assist our evolution and awakening during this transformational time and beyond.
How can we do this? In this workshop, Lyssa’s channeled sources will create a powerful environment for deep integration of our star energies and the awakening of the galactic self through a series of activities including:
Note: The work done at this workshop will be very powerful energetically because of the attunements. The work done in this workshop assists our entire Earth. This workshop debuted in Japan in 2013. The image above, with Lyssa channeling Germane, is from that debut workshop in Tokyo in 2013.

- Detailed channeled material about the main star energies working with Earth
- Powerful energy attunements in which Germane will channel energy through the star gates into the classroom, so that participants can integrate this energy within them. (The exact star energies used for these attunements will depend upon the group energy, but may include Sirius, Arcturus, the Orion Light, Pleiades, Essaassani, Andromeda, and/or others.)
- Exercises using Lyssa’s Galactic Roots Cards will help each participant learn what energies they are working with now and the lessons still needed to be learned.
- Channeled Q & A with participants – a great opportunity to ask the questions you have in your mind and heart
- Guided meditations and/or energy work that is appropriate for the group
Note: The work done at this workshop will be very powerful energetically because of the attunements. The work done in this workshop assists our entire Earth. This workshop debuted in Japan in 2013. The image above, with Lyssa channeling Germane, is from that debut workshop in Tokyo in 2013.

Galactic Holographic Healing Workshop (2 Days)
In this new workshop called Galactic Holographic Healing, we will work more directly with the patterns and challenges of our galactic family in a way that helps us heal our deepest patterns as humans that keep us stuck. In addition to working with these patterns within us, we will also work directly with the energy of the galactic family for specific healing purposes. We will also use specially-charged galactic healing water that carries the vibration of different members of our galactic family to aid our healing work.
All of the experiences, lessons, challenges, and healings of our galactic family exist as a hologram in which we humans are a part. We are never really separate from our galactic family and thus, because we are them and they are us, if we can learn to shift our frequencies to their higher and more integrated vibrations, we can begin to shift our experiences as humans on this Earth.
In this workshop we will work with the following:
· The 5 strands of frequency that promote healing and integration
· Specially-charged Galactic Healing Water to help facilitate our healing processes
· The star energies that can most assist our healing at this time including: Vega, Arcturus, Pleiades, Sirius, Orion Light, Essassani, and Zeta
· Guided meditations and energy work to release long-held blockages and that can attune us to the higher frequency of our true self
· Channeled lectures from Germane and/or Sasha to help us understand the specific challenges of our galactic family as well as our own
· Breathing exercises to help release blocked energy in the chakras and energy centers
· Connecting with and understanding the hologram of creation and how we can work with it for our healing
We will also work with specific star energies to help us not only release old patterns but to activate new healthy patterns and facilitate our integration process. For instance, we can use the following star energies to work with these human patterns:
Arcturus - Healing grief from loss, and blockages that stop us from giving and receiving love
Pleiades - Healing guilt and self-judgment, and helping us build balanced relationships
Sirius - Healing limiting belief patterns, parental issues, and destructive habits
Zeta - Healing our fears and our ability to trust the universe
Orion Light - Healing conflict, letting go of resistance and learning to embrace the inner shadow
Vega - Facilitating a heart-mind balance, learning to release ego control
There is much more! These are just examples above.
This workshop includes detailed lectures from Germane through Lyssa; Guided meditations; Attunements and deep work with the Galactic Healing Water (specially-charged water used only in this workshop), and much more. Be prepared to do some deeper inner work, which can shift old stuck patterns.
Note: It is not necessary to have attended the Awakening the Galactic Self Workshop in order to attend this one. All of Lyssa's workshops work together, so it is recommended to take all eventually. (The order doesn't matter). Having read the book The Prism of Lyra and/or having some familiarity with the Galactic Heritage Cards is recommended but not required.

Contact and Consciousness - Workshops and Retreats
This workshop is known by many names but it is one of our most popular workshops that we offer. It has been given all over the world since the early 1990s -- from the USA, Mexico and Japan to South Africa, Europe, and Australia. Based on the material in Lyssa's book Preparing for Contact, the workshop explores the nature of human consciousness as it experiences contact with other life forms -- primarily extraterrestrial. How does the human ego respond to contact, and how can we learn to understand more about our contact experiences? In this workshop, we move beyond the question of whether ETs and UFOs exist. Instead, we explore the idea of making tangible, profound contact with these other-worldly beings, and begin to form relationships of equality and love that can sustain us through the time when open contact does occur on Earth. This workshop activates the energies of the SOLi Infinity and Integration classrooms, and ultimately embraces our own holographic nature and the universal truth that all beings and all life are intimately connected.
In this workshop (which is often held in a "UFO hotspot"), we present channeled lectures from Lyssa (often with material from Ron), guided meditations, and experiential exercises. In most workshops (weather permitting) the group gets to experience outdoor contact work under the stars -- during which there are often extraordinary contact experiences that are life-changing for participants. The purpose of this outdoor work isn't just to experience extraterrestrial and interdimensional phenomena -- but to open our minds and hearts to the possibilities of life in a reality where our star connections are validated and a new era of human relationships can begin that include -- finally -- open relationships with our brothers and sisters from the stars.
Lyssa has been conducting this type of field research and contact work since the late 1980s, and was a working group coordinator for the highly-respected organization CSETI (in the state of Arizona) in the 1990s. Much of her field research from 1994-2011 is written about in the revised edition of Preparing for Contact from Light Technology Publishing. CLICK HERE to read about the book Preparing for Contact.

Healing the Inner Child
Reframe the Past ... Change the Future
A New Workshop by Ronald Holt
The journey of our consciousness from conception through adulthood is filled with experiences - some joyous and some traumatic. Experiences we have had as we enter this Earth plane shape who we become today. The experiences we have had when we are very young (even those that are not remembered) are particularly significant in building our perception of the world, our belief systems, and how we experience life as adults. Often we don't realize that we have programmed ourselves with unconscious beliefs and stories based on past experiences and/or traumas.
As children, when we don't process or heal these painful traumas and experiences, wounds form. Over time, as we become adults, the inner child (who was never healed) begins to seek healing and love but often doesn't know how to communicate its needs. Thus, our adult selves can feel broken from these old wounds, depressed, anxious, or in pain and not know what to do to heal ourselves. One of the keys to our inner healing as adults is to work with this beautiful inner child who is reaching out and is ready to heal the wounds.
In this workshop, seminar leader, channel, and contemporary shaman Ronald Holt takes participants on a deep journey into their Inner Child to help them begin to identify old wounds and begin the healing process that leads to the awakening of the Healthy Adult - the part of us that is free from wounds and old patterns that keep us stuck. Based on Ron's original work that he used to heal himself from a traumatic childhood, this one-of-a-kind workshop is deeply transformational as it works on the conscious, subconscious, unconscious and energetic levels. The difference between this and other workshops on the Inner Child, is that it works on the quantum level in profound ways.
This workshop includes:
Who Would Benefit from this Workshop?
Note: Ron has been a natural channel for more than twenty years, but has rarely offered it to the public. Over the last few years he has been directed by Spirit to begin doing his channeling publicly. A variety of beings come through Ron but at this time, those who come through most regularly are:
Konohanasakuya Hime - Goddess of Mt. Fuji; Alpha Omega - The energy of the galactic core; Krishna - The Hindu God; Mother Earth; Archangel Michael

- Learning about negative self projections and how they keep the Inner Child's pain intact
- Channelings from Ron that offer perspectives on the Inner Child from Spirit
- Tools to help participants free themselves from the pain of the Inner Child
- One-on-one work with Ron in a group setting that will help participants learn how to navigate the map of their own consciousness in order to release pain and suffering
- Healing energy work from Ron for each participant
- Breathing exercises to help the body's energy field release stored blockages and pain
- Methods to scan the body's energy field to find emotional blockages
- Lessons on how to bring the Inner Child and Healthy Adult together into a loving relationship that changes the future to one of self-empowerment.
Who Would Benefit from this Workshop?
- Those who feel stuck spiritually and emotionally
- Those who feel anxiety, stress, depression, guilt, or fear
- Those who wish to move to a new level in their spiritual development
- Those who wish to do further ego-clearing work
- Those who wish to connect more strongly with the Higher Self (This work helps clear obstacles).
- Those who wish to heal specific traumas from the past
- Those who wish to become self-empowered as an adult in the here and now

Diamond Meditation Training
Since the 1980s, Ron has been working with private students and groups to teach them the fine art of uncovering the "Diamond in the Heart" that can be accessed during meditation. This refers to a specific state of refined consciousness in which the heart is fully open and the awareness moves beyond the human level to that of a more universal experience that is boundless and infinite. This is not done through a mental process, or a complicated meditation technique with specific steps. Simply using breath and certain methods of internal focusing, this state of awareness (which is akin to our true nature) arises naturally. Once there, most people do not know how to recognize and navigate it without relying on the ego, which usually stops the experience of expansion. Through Ron's gentle guidance and the wisdom gained from decades of meditation, a navigational "map" of this infinite reality is revealed so that students can begin exploring this realm on their own with greater and greater mastery. Ron offers this training privately or in groups. Each private training or group workshop is designed specifically for the needs of the participant(s). When a training is scheduled, more information about curriculum for that specific event will be available. This training activates the energy of the SOLi Infinity and Integration classrooms.

Quantum Navigation Meditation Training
Surrendering to the Quantum Energy of the Heart through Quantum Navigation Meditation with Ronald Holt
Within us lies a vast and layered landscape that is built from our experiences, challenges, and belief systems that we have carefully constructed as physical beings. The landscape contains many objects that protect the dream so that we do not awaken. This landscape is like a map that we can use to lead us back "home" within ourselves - almost like a video game complete with archetypal characters, dragon slayings, death and rebirth, and ultimate victory over illusion. But very few of us actually go inward to engage this landscape, learn about it, and use it to heal ourselves and affect the physical reality - mostly because we don't know this inner map exists or how to work with it. Once we know how to navigate the map, we can follow it into the quantum, into the heart, and back Home again.
In Ronald Holt's personal inner work of over 30 years, he has learned to navigate this map, meet and interact with the archetypal guardians and teachers of this inner realm, and, using the quantum energy of the heart, experience the nondual abiding consciousness of all creation. In these last 3 decades, he has shared this work with very few - mostly working one-on-one. Now, for the first time, he will begin to offer it to groups. This unique and powerful workshop is a combination of lecture and experiential exercise (including meditation) that directly works with the inner landscape of the psyche, on a quantum level, to help individuals learn how to release old belief systems and patterns that keep them stuck. The process helps individuals to not only understand their quantum selves, but shows them how to navigate this sometimes confusing inner landscape in order to access and awaken the True Self (the awakened one) within. Participants will be given tools to practice on their own after the workshop. Prior meditation experience is recommended, but not required. Quantum Navigation Meditation can be practiced alone after the workshop, or through private mentorship with Ron via Skype for those needing further assistance.

Dolphin Connection Workshops
Since the 1980s Ron has been leading both wild dolphin swims and captive dolphin encounters, mostly in Hawaii and Mexico, and has worked with wild dolphins in Japan. Since 2001, his wife Lyssa joined him in leading these adventures as well, bringing in many of the principles from her contact research with extraterrestrial intelligence. From time to time we offer Dolphin Connection Workshops around the world for individuals who want to experience contact with these amazing beings in a spiritual environment. Each event is different, depending upon the group. When an event is scheduled, we will post detailed information about the content, location, and activities. If you already have a group and/or venue picked out and wish us to provide the curriculum for the event, please contact us. These events activate the energy of the SOLi Infinity and Integration classrooms.

Sacred Site Tours
Both Ron and Lyssa have been leading sacred site tours since 1990. With their combined experience including professional archaeology, meditation training, channeling, and sacred site experience, their tours are known to be exciting, enriching, and profound. They have led groups to sites all over the world including Hawaii, Mexico, Guatemala, Peru, Bolivia, Thailand, Easter Island, Egypt, Greece, England, Japan, Bali, the American Southwest, and more. Due to their busy schedules, tours are not offered frequently. If you have a special request for a tour, please let us know. When a tour is scheduled, complete information will be posted on this site. Depending upon the type of tour and the activities, the tour can activate the energy of the SOLi Reflection, Infinity and/or Integration classrooms.

Form and Formlessness: Navigating Duality through Sacred Geometry and Taoist Yoga
(Also known as Awakening the True Self)
An original workshop from Ronald Holt, this powerful workshop explores the main paradoxes of awakening -- emptiness and fullness, form and formlessness. To explore these profound truths, we use the tools of sacred geometry (whose teachings include those of form and formlessness) and marry them with the main tenets of Taoist yoga (yin and yang), to offer students a breathtaking glimpse into Creation itself, and their role within it. Not just a sacred geometry or yoga workshop, this experience integrates body, mind, and spirit into the One through a series of lectures, meditation experiences, breath work, and simple yoga postures (available to everyone at any fitness level). This workshop can be offered in a variety of formats and lengths, and it activates the energies of all three SOLi classrooms: Reflection, Infinity, and Integration.

Power Spot Alchemy
(2014) This brand new workshop from Ronald Holt synthesizes his 30-years of research developing methods that not only help people learn to locate power spots, but sense the energy there and use it for personal and spiritual transformation. Usually held near a power spot, participants will learn how to use the pineal and the heart when working with power spot energy, and go deeply within themselves to clear inner polarity and unresolved blockages. The group will spend time at power spots and practicing what they've learned, as well as have plenty of class time, meditation work, work with the heart energy. There will also be work introduced about the Earth grid and how it connects to both our sun and the galactic core through a series of networks, and much more. A very powerful and highly experiential experience. Details will be posted on the schedule page. At this time, this workshop is mostly held in England, Italy, Japan, and Arizona.

Yoga and Taoist Yoga Workshops
Fire in the Belly - Intro to Taoist Yoga
(ChiYoga Level 1)
In this workshop, we introduce the basics of Taoist yoga, with an emphasis on practices to build the energy in the dan jon (dan tien/hara). This is the abdominal energy center that is so vital to our health and well being. The workshop includes lecture, breath work, simple posture practices, energy circulation, and meditation. Participants will need to wear clothes appropriate for exercising and stretching, and bring a yoga mat. People at all levels of fitness and all ages are invited, and everyone is encouraged to practice at their level. This training activates the energy of the SOLi Reflection and Infinity classrooms.
|
|
Awakening the Heart Lotus
Intermediate Taoist Yoga (ChiYoga Level 2)
In this level, we build upon the foundations of level 1 and introduce more advanced practices that not only build the energy in the dan jon, but begin the process of developing the heart center by removing blockages and circulating energy. Participants will need to wear clothes appropriate for exercising and stretching, and bring a yoga mat. People at all levels of fitness and ages are invited, and everyone is encouraged to practice at their level. This training activates the energy of the SOLi Reflection and Infinity classrooms. Prerequisite: Fire in the Belly (ChiYoga Level 1) or similar class.
|
|
Merging Heaven and Earth
Advanced Taoist Yoga (ChiYoga Level 3)
Advancing from Level 2, this workshop uses all the foundational material from levels 1 and 2 to help guide the energy up the spine to the higher centers. We will still work with building the don jon's energy, but additionally work with more challenging breath work, meditations, postures, and energy circulation exercises. Teachings will also include learning to differentiate the voice of the ego from the voice of the inner wisdom -- resulting in a vehicle for spiritual evolution that integrates the energy of mind, body, and spirit. People at all levels of fitness and ages are invited, and everyone is encouraged to practice at their level. This class activates the energy of all three SOLi classrooms - Reflection, Infinity, and Integration. Prerequisite: Fire in the Belly (ChiYoga Level 1) and Awakening the Heart Lotus (ChiYoga Level 2) or similar classes.

Sundoh Workshops
Sundoh, a 9700-year old practice, is based on ancient healing and wellness practices (also known as "internal martial arts") that derive from an ancient lineage of Forest and Mountain Taoist Yoga from China and Korea. It is an ultimate therapeutic healing art designed to free the body and mind of pain, anxiety, and burdensome memories that block the flow of qi (life force energy) and prevent overall well being. Sundoh is rooted in ancient Buddhist and Taoist healing techniques and combines oriental medicine, yogic practices, breath work, and energy circulation exercises. Nearly every summer, we bring students from all over the world to S. Korea to practice this art with Korean masters who have devoted their lives to this system. It is powerful and life changing. These Sundoh programs are open to everyone with no prerequisites. They are conducted by trainers Ronald Holt, Lyssa Royal Holt, or Master Jae-Sheen Yu. The program in S. Korea is led by Master Yu, with assistance from other Sundoh masters. This training activates the energy of all three SOLi classrooms: Reflection, Infinity, and Integration.

Eight Limbs of Life
An Introduction to Patanjali's Eight-Limbed Yoga in Theory and Practice (Level 1)
The ancients presented a road map to enlightenment that was chronicled in the sage Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. We will examine this timeless wisdom and learn how to apply it in our lives today. We will also work with gentle Hatha yoga postures as a practical way to apply this ancient wisdom in our human lives. Students at any level of fitness may attend with no worries. Postures are just a journey, not the destination, and the focus of this workshop is not on physical postures alone. Participants will need to wear exercise-appropriate clothing and bring a yoga mat. Facilitated by Ronald and/or Lyssa Royal Holt. This workshop activates the energy of the Reflection and Infinity classrooms.
|
|
Surrendering to Prana
Listening to the Wisdom of the Universal Energy (Level 2)
This workshop will continue the teachings in level 1, but we will begin to use specific exercises that utilize prana (qi) directly, in order to enhance the teachings. Techniques of prana kriya (following the flow of energy), breath work, Yoga Nidra (yogic "sleep") will be practiced, as well as yoga postures and meditation exercises. Students at any level of fitness may attend with no worries. Participants will need to wear exercise-appropriate clothing and bring a yoga mat. Facilitated by Ronald and/or Lyssa Royal Holt. More details will be provided when the workshop is scheduled. This workshop activates the energy of all three SOLi classrooms: Reflection, Infinity, and Integration.
