"So much pulls us off balance and away from our Self. It’s hard to think our way back into aligned presence since it’s thinking (Itself)((our mind’s protective patterns, conditioning, and memory)) that inadvertently knocks us off center. Dance offers a way to move through and around the reflexive mind to reconnect deep within. Our bodies are our elemental wisdom keepers. Conscious movement can tune us into our inner frequency.

At a time where many are feeling afraid, angry, and highly disregulated due to the discriminatory legislation taking place across the country, we will prioritize rest and connection to the body, breath, and spirit. The overall intention is to create a space where queer/LGBTQ+ folks are able to settle into their bodies, soothe the mind, and soften the heart.
Guide yourself from a place of peace. Relax, really relax with the powerful practice of Yoga Nidra. In this guided meditative journey we will quiet the mind and tap into our wholeness. During this inward movement you are invited to let go of negative past patterns, so the light of your true nature shines through. In this deep state your intention is easily called into awareness. In this workshop we will explore the basics of Yoga Nidra, followed by a brief Yoga Nidra experience to illustrate and inspire the use of intention. You will focus your energy toward creating a powerful individual intention, which will become your North Star, especially in times of challenge. Together we will journal, playfully put our desires into words, and share our insights if we so choose. The workshop will close with a Yoga Nidra session designed to empower your self-created intention. My vision for this workshop is to introduce each participant to their ability to create the life which best expresses who they really are: Divine!
Mantra is a powerful tool to liberate the mind and heart. The root of the word, mantra, is manas (mind) + tra (to protect). When we gather in community to chant, we bring this practice to life. We always leave a little brighter.
In this workshop, you will be introduced to a variety of mantras and their significance. You will cultivate the power of your voice. You will experience mantra as meditation and as celebration. As we chant, these sacred sounds resonate deep in our consciousness. They guide us home.
You may be playing with mantra for the first time or rekindling a consistent practice; just bring your authentic presence. Chant your heart and know the joy of sacred sound!
