“The Power of The Circle” – A Collaborative Leadership & Yoga Training For Women w/ Luna Ray

Asheville Community Yoga 8 Brookdale Rd, Asheville, North Carolina, United States

For thousands of years people have gathered in circles to heal, learn, thrive and sustain harmony in community.  The circles hold space for listening to your own heart of wisdom and healing on a deeper level. This space doesn't critique and is not intended to be intellectually analyzing or deconstructing but hearing spiritually. I believe our current culture is asking us to use the old ways to support a new paradigm of being and working together.  As we learn and lead in this new way, we bring with us more peace, connection and healing in these challenging times.
