Yoga is an ancient practice designed to support us in meeting whatever might arise, moment to moment. In this weekend immersion, we will explore how we can engage in spiritual practice to meet the uncertainty life presents and the challenging times we are experiencing because of social unrest, climate change, collective loss, and the unsettling times in which we find ourselves now. This immersion will explore how we might engage in spiritual practice to invite more ease into our and other’s lives so we can cultivate a sense of collective ease and peace.
Throughout our session we will explore the following themes:
Personal and Collective Healing
Individual and Collective Grief
How We Heal Together
Finding Refuge and Points of Ease
Our Interconnectedness
The Bhagavad Gita and Skill in Action
The Kleshas
How to Hold Space For Your Own and Other’s Suffering
The session will include: meditation, pranayama, asana, self-study and reflection, small group discussion, large group discussions, and rituals.
