  • Learn centering and relaxation techniques

Regular meditation practice is one of the most powerful ways to build mental and emotional resilience and boost and strengthen our immune systems. Meditation increases our capacity to meet uncertainty with grace, act with compassion, and make decisions from our deepest intuition.

During this monthlong challenge, we will offer:

  • Live 30-minute meditations throughout the week, at different times of the day (ONLINE)

Radical Pain Relief Virtual
Mar 1, 2023 - Mar 29, 2023

This 5-part series centers around the foundational teachings needed to trace back your pain symptoms and create your customized embodiment program for management of symptoms.

Week 1: Assess

Discuss how and why the body stores trauma in the fascial system. Introduce tools for assessing your own body’s needs through movement.

Week 2: Connect

Introduce the Zone of Control and Let Go Breath model. These models allow us to connect to the important places in the body that revealed themselves as a result of the tools we introduced in week 1. Use myofascial release tools for releasing the fascia, using the models and systems previously discussed.

Week 3: Explore

Introduce therapeutic exercise strategies for increasing strength and flexibility. These exercises help our body to integrate the changes that occur in response to the myofascial release self-treatment techniques. Exercise routines utilize the principles of neuromuscular re-education and peripheral neuromuscular facilitation in order to repattern the brain-body connection and strengthen postural alignment.

Week 4: Embody

Create your customized embodiment plan using our Embody worksheet. In this class, we will discuss the barriers to accessing long-term change. These things may include environmental demands, emotional stressors, and physical diagnoses.

Week 5: Apply your knowledge

Return for a wrap-up session which will include guidance from our facilitator to help you apply what you have learned to your unique mind/body/spirit's needs. This class will include an intimate discussion of the benefits and challenges that you may have faced over the past month as your personal embodiment has shifted. We will end our 5 weeks together with a clear sense of your non-negotiable habits and routines needed in order to carryover the changes into your everyday life.

Full Moon Circles: Yogic Tools for Working with Strong Emotions Virtual
Mar 10, 2023 - May 12, 2023

Full Moon Circles: Yogic Tools for Working with Strong Emotions with Lakshmi Kanter

In these circles, you will practice breathwork, explore meditation techniques, learn from ancient yogic texts, and be supported by the wisdom of a conscious community. Gentle movement will support us in connecting with our bodies and give permission for any stuck energies or patterns to move and clear. Access tools and frameworks to support you when the pull of the mind and strong emotions feel overwhelming.

Full moons also allow a monthly opportunity for letting go. As the moon crests its fullness and then begins to wane, we can ride the waves of that shift and release what’s no longer needed. This provides us with more space and capacity for all that’s yet to come. Gathering in community amplifies our intentions and creates a supportive container.

Open to all. Please bring a journal.

Fridays: March 10, April 14, May 12, 6:30-8:30 pm | HYBRID | $30/$80
