'Life Alive - Drum Circle' will celebrate expressing Spirit through the human body with the Universal language that is music and movement. We will open and close the drum circle with a guided meditation which will include sage, unison drumming, and toning to center and align our energies. In between will be a freestyle drum circle. Anyone can start a rhythm, the group will improvise around that rhythm until it naturally concludes, and then a new rhythm can arise. All skill levels are welcome, this drum circle is open to total beginners and experienced drummers alike. It is also not just open to drummers! Dancers! During the freestyle portion, being conscious of the space you are in and those around you, feel free to get up and move! Shake, dance, stretch, flow... feel free to move to the rhythm and express through your movement.
There will be a limited number of drums and percussion items
available for borrowing at the circle, but if you have an
instrument, please bring yours. There will not be enough for
everyone who attends to borrow something.
Prepare to surrender and heal in this deeply restorative experience. Ellen will lead you through a gentle restorative yoga practice using props to support the body, followed by the powerful, guided meditation of Yoga Nidra. This practice is known for its ability to reduce stress, improve sleep, and quiet a busy mind. As you rest, Kaitie will offer hands-on Reiki, a compassionate energy healing technique that helps release tension and restore balance on a cellular level. This is your chance to turn inward, heal, and leave feeling completely renewed.
We warmly welcome yogis of all levels. Please try to arrive 10-15 minutes early to get comfortable and settled in your space. And don't forget, you're more than welcome to bring any props, bolsters, or blankets you'd like to use.
“We come gather to celebrate Yule; also known as the Winter Solstice, the time when the Sun stands still and holds its breath in anticipation of the spark of inspiration that will ignite the coming year. From this night forward, the Sun grows stronger every day.
Join this amazing group of women as we celebrate Yule through ritual and celebration....and the wheel turns.
Please bring something from your yard or garden that has special meaning to you, to share in the salt ceremony. Just a small amount is all that is needed.
As you move through the practice, you'll be enveloped in an atmosphere of soothing aromas and beautiful music, enhancing your sensory experience. The class will culminate in a 15-minute Yoga Nidra, a deeply relaxing guided meditation that will leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
