Come and celebrate Yule! A warm and reflective celebration of the Winter Solstice. This is a time to incorporate mindfulness, intention-setting and enjoy deep relaxation through the practice of Yoga Nidra. Participants will connect with themes of renewal, stillness and the returning light. All the while embracing the natural cycles of the season and learning about the origins of Yule.
Followed by light refreshments and community.
Close the last day of 2024 with a magical experience of a traditional Cacao ceremony, followed by a soulful sound bath.
Cacao ceremonies are an ancient, heart-opening ritual that support the body in healing and connecting with the joy and magic of cacao. To honor this sacred plant, we will hold a circle of intention setting, blessings, and medicine songs. Together we will enjoy the physical, energetic, and emotional benefits of this divine food and medicine.
Connect with your senses, clear energy blockages, balance your emotions, and elevate your frequency through the healing power of sound and vibration. Sound baths stimulate alpha waves in our brain which recalibrate our cells and allow us to shift into a deep state of relaxation, coherence, and harmony. This sound bath will incorporate an array of healing instruments including full moon singing bowls, chimes, drums, gongs, rainsticks, ocean drums, and of course your own beat and rhythm.
Take a pause from the busy holidays and treat yourself to a much needed rest. This special 90-minute candlelit restorative class will include the use of yoga props, heated lavender eye masks, and accuballs as a way of helping you unwind and relax. The class will finish with warm tea and snacks. Dress in comfortable, warm clothing. Everyone is welcome.
This 6-week series will introduce the fundamentals of yoga in a safe and engaging class. Students will learn yoga postures as well as breathing and relaxation techniques. Over the 6 weeks you will build strength and flexibility as you get more comfortable in your yoga practice.
Please bring your yoga mat, if you have one. We have yoga mats for those that need one. Everyone is welcome.
Why does a sense of unity, belonging and understanding seem to bring about healing, or, at least offer the avenue through which this can take place? Oh, sorry, were you looking for an answer? I don't have one. I just know that being with people who are compassionate, understanding and willing to walk through difficult situations, shoulder to shoulder, has been transformative in my life and I have watched it produce untold changes in theirs as well. I am happy to open up a space for us to stand together, bring what we have to the circle and hear one another. Our time will include physical activity, honest sharing, breathwork and meditation, somatic release and mindful techniques that will help us look directly at things we have been carrying around and let them go. This gathering is about support, acceptance and accountability.
