SANKOFA: Guided Meditation, Play, Meditative Movement and Relaxation

Welcome to an Alive + Well Space. This is a time we will collectively set aside to share in conscious agency-turn off phones, pause, and engage in presence, play, meditation and relaxation with you. Collectively, detach from the regular program and reclaim our soveriegn selves.

Alive + Well curates intimate offerings designed for collective nervous system grounding, awakened creative senses, + deep self + social connection. Practices integrate creative expression + alternative embodied well-being modalities in intentional communal spaces.

Following a warm welcome and brief moment of introduction, you'll be thoughtfully guided into an intentional flow of creative, self-reflective practices:

• Quieting meditation
• Poetry writing practice + optional sharing
• 5 Rhythms of Dance-inspired somatic practice + live musical accompaniment
• Rest + relax with a live soundbath
• Reflections + refreshment

Led by a collective of professional, experienced + passionate well-being + arts practitioners

• Lean into presence + connection
• Explore embodied creative curiosities + liberate the imagination
• Prioritize moments of stillness + rest
