The autumn equinox is a time of transition. It is a time of abundant harvest, balance and also a time to shed that which is dying off. From a supported place of being gently rooted to the earth, we can explore what needs to be released in us – emotionally,
physically, mentally and spiritually – and move through this transitional phase with more ease and grace. This afternoon embodied Equinox Journey will be spent in nature, connecting with the elements to help us attune to our natural pulse and rhythms, while we gently inquire into what this time of transition holds for us. We will explore our internal landscape to discover what still needs to take root, and what is ready to be released.
Shel will guide us through gentle forest yoga, followed by Julie leading a 5Rhythms® forest dance using Silent Disco headphones. The day will be simultaneously grounding and uplifting, creating deeper harmony in your body, heart, and soul.
No experience in either yoga or dance is needed to participate. Come with your curiosity and an ability to walk gently through the forest trails.
