Description
Winter is coming. Daylight, dwindling. Culture teaches us to fear the dark. So we spend December, the darkest month, in a holiday-induced frenetic frenzy. We disconnect from the earth’s rhythm. And we wonder why we feel so tired, so alone.
What if we welcome darkness? Close our eyes and open wide our arms. The Solstice Series is an invitation to breathe. To pause. To connect. And, with the winter solstice as our guide, to turn toward darkness with curiosity. Reattune to the natural rhythm inside and around us, and open to the gifts this connection has to offer. We will begin each week with guided mediation and move from there into a gentle yoga practice. We will also hold space at the end of each class for discussion and connection.
**4 Part Series ~ Registration includes all classes. November 30th, December 7th, 14th, and 21st**
📔Bring along your favorite journal and something to write with along with a mug/cup. Complimentary tea cart selections will be available.
***This very special event will be guided by Kelly McCann ~a registered yoga teacher and clinical psychologist specializing in resilience and trauma recovery.
