Living and Grieving
Living and Grieving is a full-day retreat providing the tools for healthy vigor, a calm mind, and living from the heart while remaining un-struck by external elements. Informed by our individual experiences with loss, we gather with a collective force to build resiliency and contentment to sustain in times of struggle and difficulty. Explore the philosophical unpinning that guide a steadfast perspective, physical movements to strengthen the core element while remembering joy, and the power of reflection and rest to integrate change while recovering lost energy.
- The Blueprint of Loss: The yogic system of the Koshas provide a blueprint to navigate the effect of loss on the physical body, the mental state and emotions, and our sense of self when a chasm is created between what we are expecting and what we experience
- The Inner Warrior: Learn a powerful sequence to cultivate a strong body, calm mind, and steadfast spirit in the face of change
- The Essential Nature: Explore the structure of the essential nature of life force and the means to shift energy when necessary. Enjoy an extended lunch break in a beautiful natural setting to help integrate the morning program
- Remembering Joy: Explore a postural sequence to lift heavy energy, tap joy, and maintain equanimity
- Cultivating Compassion: Create a personal map for self-care when feeling depleted and the tools to stay strong in support of others when needed
