Resilient Being

Service Description

Resilience is more than just bouncing back..it is the steady return to yourself over and over again. I created Resilient Being as a time & space to return to what is within...the innate knowing of the body, the steadiness of the mind, and the subtle strength of the spirit. To be resilient is to remain flexible in our thoughts, emotions, and actions when life may challenge us. It is the capacity to stay with ourselves through pressure and disruption...and to emerge stronger, wiser, and more able. This workshop offers you to experience resilience through both movement & stillness. Stillness allows the body to change on a deeper level both physically and emotionally. In stillness, we can connect and listen to our subtle body energy. Resilience is cultivated in this quiet space...where our breath meets sensation. When we stay present with what is stirring beneath the surface, the darkness begins to lift. Old feelings are allowed to move, be witnessed, and alchemized. Resilience is a living process...one that grows through gratitude, compassion, acceptance, meaning, and forgiveness. This offering will be held about a week after I have completed Meridian Yoga Therapy Level 1 training with Dr. Rose Erin Vaughn. This therapy is based on the 8-limbed Yogic principles and informed by the Traditional Chinese Medicine meridian system of points and pathways. Like yoga asana, MYT uses physical methods to ease the flow of energy through the subtle channels and release muscle tension, joint pain, headaches, digestive issues, anxiety, depression, etc. I’ve been dreaming about taking this training for years so i’m looking forward to integrate some of this new wisdom at this healing gathering! In addition to MYT, Resilient Being will weave together breath work & meditation to deeply support our body’s natural ability to heal. The offering will conclude with some journaling in a sharing circle over a warm cup of tea. So perhaps like myself this winter felt a bit dark. Maybe you're just now beginning to see the light again. Or maybe you've moved through something that left you feeling hopeless, disappointed, or hurt. This offering is for you. For the quiet moments when faith begins to return. For the first breath that feels full again. For the gentle reminder that healing is possible, and you are already on your way. All are welcome. Come as you are... stay a while & perhaps leave with a little more of yourself.
