Event Schedule

Friday & Saturday September 13th & 14th

Embark on an invigorating journey at the “Opening Weekend” event, meticulously hosted by Mark Divine, a visionary who melded the wisdom of Eastern philosophy with the tenacity of a Navy SEAL. From the bustling corporate world to the elite SEAL teams, Mark’s odyssey reveals a life committed to mastering the mind and body. His illustrious military service, profound teachings through SEALFIT, and the indelible imprints of his thought leadership in books like “The Way of the SEAL” and “Unbeatable Mind”, coalesce into a transformative experience:

  • Friday Morning 9/13/2024 – Kokoro Yoga 7:00am – 8:30am
    • Venue: Grand Park 19000 Grand Park Blvd, Westfield, IN 46074
    • Begin your transformative journey with Kokoro Yoga, led by Mark Divine. This session is not just about physical movement; it’s a pathway to developing an unbeatable mind, fostering peak performance in all areas of life. Engage in a series of yoga poses, breathwork, and meditation exercises that embody the warrior spirit, preparing you for the day ahead with enhanced focus, resilience, and leadership capabilities. Kokoro Yoga,is an integrated physical, mental, and spiritual training, designed initially for the nation’s elite special-ops soldiers and now taught to anyone seeking to develop the heart and mind of a warrior. Kokoro, the Japanese concept of warrior spirit―or merging heart and mind into action―is the central focus of Mark Divine’s new approach to teaching yoga. Coach Divine’s yoga sequences are focused to adapt to all physical and mental capabilities, combining breathing, meditation, and visualization into both traditional poses as well as cross-training/combat-conditioning exercises.
  • Friday 9/13/2024: All Day – SheepDog Training 9:00am – 5:00pm
    • Venue: Grand Park 19000 Grand Park Blvd, Westfield, IN 46074
    • Event HighlightsMark Divine Sheepdog Site Link
    • Immerse yourself in Sheepdog Training, a realm where bravery and sharpness reign supreme. Through self-defense drills and situational awareness exercises, delve into a culture of vigilance. This session is designed to teach you self-defense, situational awareness, and the mindset of a protector, qualities essential for leadership and resilience. Learn from experienced instructors who will guide you through scenarios that challenge both mind and body, fostering a sense of confidence and readiness. Most of the time, there are several levels to preventing harm from coming to your family. There’s simple common-sense preparation, which you are probably doing already. Then there’s Situational Awareness, where you can feel trouble brewing and can remove yourself from the situation. This includes creating that “spidey-sense” where your intuition shows you clues that are invisible, often even to seasoned professionals.  If you find yourself in a verbal confrontation, there’s De-Escalation, so you can calm egos, soothe anger, and bring things back to safety. But that does not always work. Because a Predator does not care about egos, or even his own emotion. BECOME A SHEEPDOG.

Meet the Speaker

Mark Divine

Mark Divine is the highest ranked trainee of SEAL BUD/S, Mark served 9 years on active duty, 11 as a Reserve SEAL and retired as Commander in 2011. His leadership of teams was so effective the government tasked him with creating a nationwide mentoring program for SEAL trainees. This program eventually became SEALFIT

The demand for this learning was palpable. Three more books poured out in a torrent. The Way of the SEAL, published by Reader’s Digest, and 8 Weeks to SEALFIT and KOKORO Yoga, both published by St. Martin’s Press. Writing his experience for others triggered a realization of his own full-circle journey.
