Many of us are experiencing unprecedented levels of emotional disregulation during this time with a range of feelings including anxiety, depression, grief, fear, sadness and anger. We are in that ‘in-between place’, knowing that some things have gone that may never return and yet the vision of what lies ahead has not come into focus. But just like the butterfly who was helped by the little boy to come out of her cocoon, she did not have the wing strength to fly and perished. Rushing the process was not beneficial. So to for us, we must learn to navigate these unknown places. Fortunately, the tools and strategies are available once we know where to look. As mindfulness teacher Matt Licata says,

“Now, more than ever, it is essential to find ways to root our nervous systems, not only to manage core exhaustion and stress, but deepen our relationship with the earth, our hearts and to reconnect with the sacredness of what it means to be a human being alive on the planet at this time.”

Please join me once a month until Spring to cultivate our own ‘wing strength’ through the body, mind, nervous system and nature. We will explore different practices from many wisdom traditions to feel grounded, calm, nourished & cared for in this time of uncertainty. Participants will be offered strategies to find sanctuary and emerge intentionally, using the winter months to prepare for springs’ arrival.

These online sessions will be recorded if you are unable to attend in person & available for at least one week. This program can be done from your own home, back yard or local surroundings. In addition to our weekly Zoom call you will receive accompaniment emails that Include highlights from the meeting and practices to utilize :

• Call reminders with contemplation tips for upcoming session and follow up email with recording link & instructions for monthly focus

• Breathwork samples

• Mindfulness Méditations

• Self care practices

• Nature invitations

• Earth poetry

• Resources

• Writing/creativity prompts

• Seasonal Wisdom Teachings

MUST REGISTER FOR EACH CLASS SEPERATELY

Jon us for an afternoon of gentle yoga, self inquiry & healing rituals to clear negative core beliefs.

Mindfulness Meditation teacher Tara Brach says “99 percent of us are walking around in a trance of unworthiness.” Through gentle & nourishing yoga, self inquiry, guided meditations and healing practices, we create space to clear away negative core beliefs and allow the truth of who we are to be revealed.

In this workshop you will learn to lay down a foundation to:

• Release trying to fix yourself & realize you were never broken 

• Rest in the present moment & stop running from yourself

• Restore a sense of feeling grounded & at home-ness in your own body 

• Tame your inner critic and create a new story

• Release once and for all what is holding you back

• Create a self compassion practice tool kit & ways to heal yourself

According to the World Health Organization depression and anxiety are common worldwide and are leading causes of disability worldwide. WebMD says up to seventy-five percent of doctors visits are stress related. All of these conditions are normal states in a human life but sometimes can be difficult to overcome on our own if our tool box is no longer working.

Come explore how Yoga affects the mood, quiets the mind and reduces tension in the body. Through yoga postures, breath work, sound, mudras, present moment awareness and guided exercises, we will experience how to balance moods, regulate the nervous system, reduce stress and be active participants in our own well being.

Leave with strategies & tools that can be used at home or anytime to enhance one’s ability to self regulate, restore a sense of equilibrium & rewire emotional patterns.
