A five-day, non-residential training in biological reconfiguration and nervous system repatterning that centers on sensitivity and deep listening so entrenched patterns in relationships, the body, and daily life can begin to shift. The work invites participants to orient from a wider field of awareness rather than personal narrative, refining perception so the system’s natural impulse to reorganize can take the lead. Drawing on the Impersonal Dimension, shadow integration, and constellation practices guided by the field, facilitation emphasizes sensing what is already present instead of relying on technique or direction. Designed for practitioners, facilitators, and sincere seekers who feel that adding more methods is not the answer, this training is for those who want perception itself to deepen. Individuals with backgrounds in somatic, shadow, or relational work may find strong alignment, as the focus is on honest contact, attunement, and meeting the deeper structures that shape experience. Facilitated by Nathan Marcuzzi, whose approach weaves biological reconfiguration, shadow work, and field-informed constellations through presence and careful listening, and by Bianca Rivai, whose practice centers bonding, attunement, and the impersonal dimension to support rebalancing of feminine and masculine poles so protective strategies can soften and genuine intimacy can emerge. Hosted at The Alembic. Pricing includes two early-bird options at $1,690 and $1,890 USD, as well as a regular rate of $2,190 USD.

Yoshi’s Oakland hosts a showcase built on the legacy of Detroit-born talent linked to Rick James’s punk funk era and Motown history. At the center is vocalist Val Young, who started out singing behind acts like The Gap Band, George Clinton and P-Funk, and Roy Ayers before Rick James elevated her at Motown with a glamorous "Black Marilyn Monroe" image. Her debut album Seduction became a gold seller with songs such as "Mind Games," "Piece Of My Heart," and "If You Should Ever Be Lonely," followed by Private Conversations on Amherst Records. Her credits span collaborations with artists including Mariah Carey and Tupac Shakur, notably the track "To Live & Die In L.A.," and sessions with members of Rufus. Sharing that lineage is Candice "Candi" Ghant, another Detroit native who signed to Motown at 19, moved to Hollywood, and was selected by Rick James as one of the Mary Jane Girls. Her studio and stage work ranges from background vocals for Ice Cube and other hip hop and R&B figures to soundtrack contributions and production projects that highlight her range behind the scenes. The story also connects to Farah Saraya Melanson, an L.A. artist who has performed with The Mary Jane Girls featuring Val Young, New Birth, and Jon B, and has recorded with Barry White. A multi-instrumentalist with formal music studies, she has collaborated with Val Young and Candi Ghant for several years.

Ishaan Ghosh represents a dynamic younger voice in tabla. A child prodigy who gave his first solo at the age of three, he has developed a distinctive style under the close mentorship of his father, shaping intricate rhythmic designs drawn from a broad repertoire. He has performed both as a soloist and as an accompanist with noted artists such as Pandit Jasraj, Ustad Amjad Ali Khan, Pandit Buddhadev Dasgupta, Ustad Aashish Khan, Ustad Nishat Khan, Pandit Tejendra Narayan Majumdar, violin legend Dr. N Rajam, Kaushiki Chakraborty, Rakesh Chaurasia, Purbayan Chatterjee, and others.
