Sound Bath w/ Michele

Sunday, July 28th | 7-8 pm | $20 or $40 for two people

 

According to yogic philosophy, liberation comes when the mind can be directed and one’s inner light takes the lead. Paying attention to the activity of our senses is one way to direct the mind, and hearing is one of the 5 primary human senses. When we become fully aware of our hearing sense, with a heart of curiosity, we can decrease the tendency of the mind to act as master.  Further, therapeutic sound has a unique ability to call forth the parasympathetic nervous response, as the ears are a seat for this part of our nervous system.  The parasympathetic nervous response brings forth the feelings and sensations of relaxation, restoration and rejuvenation. In a world that largely activates only our sympathetic nervous responses, therapeutic sound is so incredibly needed right now. Therapeutic sound can entrain the mind’s vibration into one of steadiness and directability.

In these monthly workshops, we will start with restorative breathwork that fses on lengthening the exhale, which is another way that yogic philosophy says will mold the mind into a more redirectable form. Then we will move into relaxation within the vibrations of therapeutic sound. The instruments of gongs, crystal sound bowls, and drums will be used to create these therapeutic sounds.

No previous experience needed. Please wear comfortable clothing. If you are prone to headaches, please bring a head covering (beanie, hat, bandana, etc). Minimum age requirement is 11 years old.

Intro to Somatics w/ Emily

Saturday, August 3rd | 1:30-3:30 pm | $35 or $60 for two people

Join this workshop to learn about somatics, how to work with and through the body to heal our trauma, conditioning, patterns, pains, and anything getting in our way of living the life we truly desire. We will discuss how through working with and through the body we can find wisdom, connection, and joy in our life.

We will look at how mental patterns, mindset, shapes we carry ourselves in, language, background, conditioning, and more affect us and our wellbeing. All of these show us how we are finding safety, connection, and belonging in the world. This class will discuss how we are currently doing these and explore ways in which we could find these things more in alignment with what we truly want, value, and care about. You will also be guided into your body to heal and find wisdom there.

                    Grief Alchemy w/ Ray Himmelman Le Blanc

                    Saturday, August 24th |2-5 pm | $55 or $90 for two people

                     

                    Join Ray Himmelman Le Blanc for an afternoon of grief and gratitude, movement and discussion, ritual and intention. May we come together to share gratitude and grief. May we grieve loss in our lives, and in the world around us, as a practice of healing. May gratitude resource us in the transformation that grief invites. May we cultivate gratitude as a way to deepen relationships with nature, with each other, and with ourselves. 

                     
                    In the words of Elana-June Margolis, “every grief touches all grief.” With that in mind, this workshop will include a decolonial framing. There will be space held for grief that is personal, collective, and existential. New grief, old grief, and ancestral grief are welcome. With gentleness, we hold it all, together.
