Mandala Workshop
Dec 7, 2024 - Dec 7, 2024

Yoga asanas, or postures, prepare the mind and body for concentration and meditation in this 3-hour workshop.

We will practice asanas and be taught to create a mandala to practice the Yogic concepts of dharana (concentration) and dhyana (meditation). It’s impossible to ‘empty’ the mind, but we can train it to become so completely absorbed with one thing that we lose all sense of time and space. This is the process of dharana and dhyana.

A mandala is a spiritual and ritual symbol. It can be understood in two different ways: externally as a visual representation of the universe, or internally as a guide to connect with universal energy. In Hinduism and Buddhism, the belief is that by entering the mandala and proceeding towards its center, you are guided through the cosmic process of transforming the universe from one of suffering into one of joy and happiness.

Workshop Schedule:

- Philosophy, dotting instruction, & applying our first layer of paint

- Gentle asana practice

- Applying our second layer of paint

- Restorative asanas with sound medicine

$30 includes all supplies: 3.5” hand-casted stone, dotting tools, paint, and a surface to paint on

Participation is limited to 15 people, thank you.

Candle-lit Christmas Restorative Class
Dec 7, 2024 - Dec 7, 2024

In order to fully prepare your heart for Christmas, to remove the obstacles that hinder our focus on the Divine, join us for a night of restoration and meditation on Jesus. In this class, you will hear scripture from the book of Matthew and Luke as you settle into your supported restorative poses. A silent time of reflection will follow each pose so you can fully allow the love of Jesus to enfold you. All while hearing beautiful acoustic guitar strum familiar sounds.

Afterward, settle in with homemade dairy-free hot chocolate, candy canes, and festive cheer as you continue decorating your artwork in a meditative, mindful way.
