Gathering Within: a Ceremony of Cacao + Sound

with Caroline Dickinson

WHEN: Saturday, November 1st from 6:30-8pm

As autumn deepens, nature invites us to slow down, soften, and turn inward.
Drinking cacao opens the heart and supports this natural rhythm - helping you connect with your inner world and listen to the quiet wisdom within.
Join Caroline for a heart-centered evening of reflection and renewal. Together, we’ll move through guided journaling to illuminate what’s ready to be released, meditation to ground and center your being, breathwork to create spaciousness within, and a sound bath to bring harmony to your heart’s rhythm.
This sacred ceremony offers a space to pause, feel, and realign - opening to gratitude, clarity, and peace as we enter the stillness of the season. Come as you are, and leave feeling centered, open, and deeply connected to yourself.

Cost: $45

Yin Yoga for Better Digestion

Pop-up class with Cathy Blatchly

WHEN: Friday, November 21st from 6-7pm

Let Go and Create Space in your Body, Mind and Spirit
The Gut is referred to as the Enteric Brain. It is home to ~50% of the dopamine and 95% of the serotonin in our body. It is the seat of our intuition which is why we say “trust your gut”. The gut-brain axis is the connection between the GI system and the central nervous system. The GI tract has the ability to sense and receive impulses as well as to record emotions and subconsciously remember experiences.
Focus on Rest and Digest using Yin and Restorative Yoga
Yin yoga focuses on compressing and releasing fascial tissues and opening specific energy channels (meridians) in the body. In the Taoist tradition, the internal organs are referred to Palaces of our Soul or Spirit and are treated like shrines of the divine within us. Connecting to each organ’s qualities and caring for them with visualizations are natural ways to increase their individual functions and interdependent homeostasis. According to ancient Asian wisdom, there are 5 organ

pairs each of which are connected to interconnecting highways called meridans, channels or nadis traveling through them and linking up the whole body. These invisible highways move life force (prana or chi) (Lit from Within by Sarah Powers)

The 5 Rs of Gut Health: Remove, Repair, Restore, Replace, Reinvigorate

This class will focus on the stomach and spleen meridians with long held floor poses, standing poses (belly swirling and pumping) and a long guided Savasana to create space in the outer and inner body and promote optimal digestion.

In addition we will use pranayama and belly self massage to further address opening
and releasing the heart and small intestines.

Yin Yoga for Deep Rest

Pop-up class with Cathy Blatchly

WHEN: Friday, December 12th from 6-7pm

The transition from Autumn into Winter embodies the qualities of Yin: cold, dark, and  quiet. Embracing the opportunity to slow down and find rest helps us to balance the busyness of our daily lives and calm our central nervous system.

Yin yoga focuses on long held floor postures that alternately compress and release deep connective tissues improving hydration and elasticity. This class will also focus on postures that promote the flow of energy (Qi) with a focus on the the kidney/bladder, spleen/stomach, and heart/small intestine meridians.

Restorative yoga involves supporting the body in postures that promote rest and relaxation -- options for restorative postures will be included. We will focus on pranayama (breathing techniques) that promotes relaxation and the practice of Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep).

You can expect to leave class feeling relaxed and rested with tools to promote deep rest at home.
