Join us as we celebrate the Winter Solstice, Saturday, December 16th! There are several rituals, celebrations and ceremonies around the world recognizing the solstice; we will be incorporating some of these, weaving them into my offerings in celebration of this time of year.Begin the afternoon enjoying a delicious cacao elixir! Expand your connection with self and others through Movement, Heart Connection Practices, Dyads, and Breathwork.
Explore and practice deepening our connections, the ability to be in the flow of giving and receiving energy and holding sacred space for each other.
We will honor each other and practice within the guidelines of Consent, Confidentiality and Care.
Cacao Elixir Meditation:
Cacao is heart expanding, a beautiful companion for this Solstice ceremony. It will gently open you up to new possibilities as it enhances your awareness, intuition, strength, creativity, and clarity.
Movement practices:
Explore connecting within through our physical body with dance and movement.
Dyads:
A dyad is something that consists of two elements or parts.
Deepening our connection with another through communication.
Expanding our ability to hold space, listen, receive and understand with an open heart.
Heart Connection Practices:
Deepening our connection with others. Practices may include: eye/soul gazing, breath regulation, soulful communication, sound activation, partnered movement practices, loving touch.
Breathwork:
Meet yourself in new ways. This is an opportunity to engage the incredible clarifying and healing power of your primary life force, breath. Explore the energetic continuum of your body, beliefs, emotions, and non-physical realms. Detoxify, rejuvenate, energize, release, express, integrate, clarify, and heal.
Nūma Breathwork is a transformational synthesis of conscious breathwork, somatic explorations and sound healing, an inquiry that supports you in clearing energy within the physical, mental, emotional, and energetic bodies. This dynamic practice can catalyze spontaneous insights and non-ordinary states of consciousness. It is an insightful dive into the continuum of human experience and a potent portal into the numinous.
** No previous experience is required.
