(This program is entirely in Persian.)
In days when the body feels tired and the heart feels heavy, this is a space to pause — and gently begin moving again, with grief, not against it.
We gather to move slowly through gentle yoga, conscious breathing, meditation, music, and song in Persian. This is not a space to silence sorrow or rush toward feeling “better.” Instead, we practice walking hand in hand with grief — allowing it, honoring it, and giving it room.
There will be a circle for reflection and shared presence. You may speak or simply sit in quiet. Tears are welcome. Silence is respected. The breath is our guide.
This is a non-political space created with the intention of calm, presence, and emotional support for the Iranian community.

توضیح برنامه
در روزهایی که
بدن خسته است
و دل سنگین.
اینجا جایی‌ست برای ایستادنِ کوتاه
و دوباره حرکت کردن،
با سوگ، نه بر خلاف آن.
دور هم جمع می‌شویم
تا آهسته حرکت کنیم،
با یوگای ملایم،
با نفس‌های آگاه،
با مراقبه و موسیقی و آواز به زبان فارسی.
اینجا قرار نیست
غم را خاموش کنیم
یا سریع خوب شویم.
اینجا یاد می‌گیریم
چطور دست در دست سوگ،
قدم برداریم.
حلقه‌ای برای همدلی و سوگواری داریم،
جایی که می‌توانی حرف بزنی
یا فقط حضور داشته باشی.
گریه آزاد است.
سکوت محترم است.
نفس راهنماست.
این فضا سیاسی نیست،
با نیت آرامش، حضور و حمایت احساسی
برای ایرانیان برگزار می‌شود.
