About me
Shawn Chowdhury (krya) - still in development
Background
."who are you?"
- human."what does it mean to be human?"
- impermanence - the buddhist used this word to describe a moment that flies. a moment that never really lasts too long or too little. just enough to be fully felt and then letting go as naturally as the energy of curiosity goes. for me living curiously and with presence is fundamental to my being.."where you're from?"
- I used to say I'm an alien from out of space and I'm usually parked somewhere in the astroplanes between tuesdays and thursdays.truth is we all come from the same place, just humans with different things we choose to face in life. Sometimes we feel like there is no choice. and yes that's true until you its not. so im going to use another language to explain my stories.It isn't about what I am or how I've come to be me. but more about the feeling you have when your read me.I am an expression of one self. that has felt his sufferings from many sides. an ego that dies, just to be revived, and is told he is meant to be an idea described to him from the outside. sometimes its better to talk in the 3rd person. lets me think I am somewhat different from the me that used to hurt inside. see the thing I've identified far to long with a story of a guy. today I have come a long way. from insults to injuries and a grand disguise to listening
fully and letting the ego re die. I am no one but also me on the outside.so I share it with the suffering that led me to.I went to.I was in a prison of my own mind. I suffered years thinking I was never good enough. I can tell you about my wounds & traumas or my inflicted physical abuse of the masculine role models in my life. But really the thing is "it just doesn't sound like me any more". More like a distant and faint memory. Unreal to think that I even had an origin story, something I call a "past life" now. The only thing I know - that was real. Is that I had self limiting beliefs projected on to me from those who hadn't followed their own true norths. that I had been merely an image of all those around me, an image of beliefs I tried desperately to uphold all until the day everything shifted on a paradigm`
7 years ago. I broke free, I met community, I sat with plant medicine (ayahuasca, peyote, mushroom ceremony) I walked barefoot on a small beach town for years. I fell in love (over and over again), went to mens circles, created brotherhood. cracked open my heart, and I let the fire in. I bled the heart dry and fed the darkest sides of me. I went to the underworld and back, all to finally realize there is only one truth. freedom is something you create. And all those that were around me is also no different than me, we are the same. and together we rise"I am the maker of my reality"
And today I choose to embody all that is in my light, and all that is in my dark. for it is both very real and alive inside of me. Where the masculine meets the feminine in total harmony"I don't recommend anyone to take my path to discover their truth. but to take a leap of faith. this is something only you can do"My mission is to share this freedom and all the life lessons i've gained over the last 7 years of truly being alive"

The heart opening medicine of Cacao
Cacao is a remarkable plant that has been used in many cultures for thousands of years as a medicine and spiritual tool. In traditional ceremonies, cacao has been used to open the heart and bring us into a state of heightened consciousness. It is said to allow us access to deeper levels of self-awareness and connection with others, allowing us to shift our perception and truly embody our true potential. By understanding the power of this sacred plant, we can gain insight into ourselves on a much deeper level
What is a tantric food experience?
somatics and food can offer us a unique opportunity to tap into the depths of our consciousness and break through the boundaries of language. By engaging our senses, we can access intense emotions and raw energy that normally remain hidden within us. This process allows us to explore the unknown and uncover something greater within ourselves.
Many of us take our senses for granted, but they have the power to unlock a world of inner knowledge and feelings. When we take the time to connect with them, we can access and explore hidden emotions and energies within ourselves. This can be a profound experience that leads to personal growth by uncovering our deepest desires and connecting with the collective unconscious.
With patience, courage, and perseverance, we can find ourselves empowered and transformed. Through working with our senses, we gain insight into the complexities of our world, our relationships with others, as well as how we relate to ourselves. This understanding helps us to make decisions that are rooted in truth and authenticity - allowing us to live more fulfilling lives.By allowing ourselves to go deeper into our senses we can access wisdom from within - helping us move through life's struggles and find peace in moments of joy. We learn about what brings us pleasure and what causes us pain - enabling us to make choices that bring meaning into our lives.
The act of connecting with our senses is not easy but it is worth it. Exploring this path can open up new realms of understanding that fill us with strength and compassion towards both ourselves and others.
extentions of expression - Page is currently being edited
By krya • Updated: Sept 7th, 2024
"I feel therefore I am" António Damásio.Every human body is looking to express itself on a constant basis. On a cellular level our expression is flowing through us endlessly. Imagine how this energy has moved in your own life. How often have you found, that the energy that you give becomes the energy you receive?We are here to figure out how to move this energy and exchange it within our everyday lives. It's why we look for jobs or hobbies, routines, we just find things to do.But when you focus that towards your needs, wants and desires. You momentum and end up You get what you give and it becomes more and more clear. So what is the whole picture, how do you make it visible. To see what you are destined to be. And that greatness is here for you to access.That my friend, only happens through uncapping your limits of expression, into any form it wishes to be channeled through.These channels are amongst us and hiding in hiding in plain site.Your art, movement, voice, each micro-level facial expression. Even down to subtleties of the way you shift your weight. These actions tell a story before our minds can even form a thought. In can be easy to observe your own body's reaction to learn understand what you really want. taking the overpowering mind out of the equation and allowing your truest form to be expressed.Process1. Body language awareness
2. Surrender egos control.
3. Listen to your body's Inner compass--- the polaritySociety has conditioned us into conformity. In this realm we are all moving, walking and talking the same. The ones that stand out, is often ridiculed for being different. and traumatized to be that expression. Not all people have walked this way of life, but those of you who have, will resonate with me.It is now our duty to release this thinking, to release old habits and thought patterns that no longer serve us.
Its time to shine in this light
--------and that expression happens through the energetic body. and when energy gets stuck it blocks up the physical pathways in our arteries. here we realizeSince we are made up of such dense matter. We often move like we're stuck in honey.

the senses - ESP and homeostasis
By Shawn • Updated: Sept 7th, 2024
Sensations such as feeling hot or cold, hunger, thirst, and even heartbreak, bring awareness to the fact that the body has strayed from homeostasis.
Human Circle
A Sharing Circle of Play & Embodiment practices for Men and Women.Human Circle creates a light & interactive space to connect to our innermost authentic expressions through the lens of our polarities.A thinking hub designed to bring all beings together to share their experiences, while embarking on their own self-healing journeys. Creating a resource hub to the teachings & embodiment practices. This program holds the foundation to the Human Experience for heart-to-heart group theta healing - leading to personal empowerment, and sacred unification between our brothers & sisters, practices aimed to strengthen our bonds.Here we create methods to our own sovereignty & claim ownership to the masculine / feminine within.
3. Pattern Recognition: The brain processes sensory information to identify patterns and make predictions. When we experience a situation similar to one we've encountered before, our brain may draw on past sensory data to make intuitive leaps. This process can feel like a "sixth sense" as we seem to know something without consciously reasoning it out.4. Emotional Resonance: Our senses are deeply connected to our emotions. For example, certain smells or sounds can trigger memories and emotions, influencing our intuitive reactions to situations. This emotional resonance, fueled by sensory input, can guide us in ways that feel like intuition or a "gut feeling."5. Holistic Perception: The integration of sensory input can lead to a more holistic perception of the world. When we synthesize information from multiple senses, we may develop a deeper understanding of a situation that isn't strictly logical but feels intuitively correct.
Sense of play
Extra sensory perception
.
experiences that invoke the 6th sense
how it works -esp - the idea that the five senses (sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell) give access to a "sixth sense" is often linked to the notion of intuition, extrasensory perception, or a deeper understanding of reality. while the "sixth sense" is typically considered beyond the realm of the physical senses, there are ways in which the five senses can help cultivate a heightened awareness or intuition.
1. Heightened Awareness: By paying close attention to what we perceive with our five senses, we can develop a deeper awareness of our environment. This heightened sensitivity can sometimes allow us to pick up on subtle cues—such as body language, changes in tone, or environmental shifts—that aren't immediately obvious. This increased perception can feel like a "sixth sense," where we intuitively know something without directly perceiving it.
2. Mindfulness and Presence: The practice of mindfulness involves fully engaging with our five senses in the present moment. By becoming more attuned to what we see, hear, feel, taste, and smell, we can quiet the mind's distractions, allowing our intuition to surface more clearly. In this state of heightened presence, our "sixth sense" might be more easily accessed as we become more in tune with subtle inner signals.

a journey through brotherhood
the art of being present, aware & unapologetically authentic.
Welcome brother - chances are, you didn't make it here by accident. maybe we crossed paths over an unforgettable gathering or perhaps we connected through a circle of extraordinary humans. however way it happened. the seed has been planted
this page - is an invitation to join a group of bandit brothers that i've come across over the years of traveling the world and leading workshops, facilitating programs and creating community. these brothers have shown up in their integrity as archetypes of being an awakened warrior. so whether you're already a leader of misfits or a lone rider that rocks out on the weekends. you're probably here because you have something great inside of you that might just inspire the rest of us to step into our power. here, we’ve come to lead by example, creating a world where we rise and thrive together.
in this space - we can kick back, talk about life, share our inspirations and be seen.no pressure, no awkward guru stuff, just real talk and solid company. if you’re down for some laughs, a bit of wisdom, and potentially solving the world’s smallest mysteries, then lets crack this door wide open.the value of being amongst other likeminded brothers is about finding ones purpose and power. becoming unapologetically authentic, and speaking your most absolute truth but to do so while honoring the deep feminine wisdom within.
through the bond of brotherhood:
we discover the strength and power of the masculine & feminine
the masculine and feminine within
within every man lies a profound balance of masculine and feminine energies, both drawn from a deep, divine source. this inner power seeks a safe and authentic outlet for expression. by embracing and expanding your feminine strengths - creativity, intuition, and communication - within the secure framework of your masculine energy, you create a powerful synergy. it is through this alignment that you discover a deeper sense of purpose and fulfillment, allowing you to thrive in every aspect of life.
f o r g e .
“Forge” is more than just a name; it’s a symbol of transformation and resilience.

(for men)
the art of being present, aware & unapologetically authentic.
There is no one way to live life, all lives matter. and that goes beyond the political, beyond the governments that condition us. This is about becoming aligned in your path to purpose, power and sovereignty, nothing else matters. It is the combination of these three principles that create raw authenticity.Sessions involve reprograming old thought patterns and removing self limiting beliefs. "Unblocking self from ones own success". It is the individual that creates their own reality and therefore the maker of the positive and negative outcomes that can catastrophically align in their lives. The key is transforming the perspective of these catastrophes into seeing the path that is most in service to ones benefit.
a total embodiment of the masculine & feminine.
Embodied masculine and feminine practices come from a great divine harmonic power stored deeply within each of us both men and women. "This power" is looking for a safe way to become expressed. When you expand your great feminine power of creativity and communication in harmony to the safe container that the masculine offers. you become a full expression of your highest and most powerful potential.Practices are open to a wide range of interpretations to reach as many men as possible but do not apply to all. In order to see if our paths are aligned or perspectives are shared - we will have a 15 min video call.[Only you can choose to walk this path and have to be mentally prepared to do what ever it takes. The body can hold layers of trauma and that takes time to heal naturally. Further work must be made beforehand and can be found in my other offerings & workshops + countless other really powerful brother and sister colleagues - I can recommend]

a life worth living?
to live life to the fullest, means to say fuck yes to everything life has to offer.you are not here to settle for less.you are here to fulfill your life's purpose, to do what you love and to go head first into everything that you desire. so take the risks, be unapologetically driven and become the maker of your reality.by activating your senses to the highest potential. you will deepen your connection to the mind, body and soul. to the mystics this translates to total harmony with the inner workings of the self, the other and the great mother earth.though practices of expanding our consciousness. we come back to simplicity, originality, peace of mind and we find support by the universe to aid us in the life we are truly meant to live.
red or blue
the path
of least resistance, is very possible.one path is to surrender your control and allow space for the unknown to occur. here - the hard times are found to be perceived equal to the good and harmony is established.the other path - is the natural order of life.
where we simply respond to our environment. never needing to understand what or how, we just doevery path is good but one of them is effortless
in this realmred is the path that leads you to your highest potential. awareness can only be obtained through sheer will power and deep trust in the unknown. all experiences are designed to reprogram old patterns and remove self limiting beliefs - the changing of colors; definitions & mental structures has the power to remap the brain's relationship to societal conditioning; patterns / behaviors (and stuck perspectives). this allows for new creative and transformative ideas to enter the mind.the perception of the world that comes after one of our experiences is changed to perceive only what is possible.
the impossible no longer existsthe blue is the path of safety - a good path with a natural order to conscious & steady growth. it involves the need for knowing logic & science

why the rabbit?
