Since the beginning of time women have gathered in a sacred space together at the time of the moon for rest, rejuvenation and self care. In honor of this tradition, we will come together as women, to deeply nurture and inspire ourselves through timeless spiritual practice and spend an evening reflecting on the inner and outer layers of our being - the physical, spiritual, emotional, and mental 'body'.

We will observe the lunar phases with 108 Moon Salutations in honor of the full moon, the spring equinox and Holi, the Hindu Festival whichcelebrates the triumph of "good over evil".  It is a time of renewing relationships. The practice of moon salutations - chandra namaskar, the feminine side of asana practice, are postures that promote women's health. We will also explore simple, yet powerful practices for emotional and spiritual well-being and that include poetry, cycle beads, mythology, fertility wheel, journaling and sankalpa (intention).

This workshop will offer an opportunity to expand our internal world by igniting the creative energy of life (shakti) and the divine feminine. Using the synthesis of intention and meditation, we uncover our deepest, heartfelt desires. This is the place where our practice can open us to self empowerment through connection to our own inner authority. The practice method is based on our own body's innate intelligence and our intuitive wisdom.

You will leave the workshop with a new sense of alignment, ready to resume your own mindfulness practice with more joy, more self-compassion and ultimately, with more conscious steps toward self-realization.

Accessible to beginning and advanced yoginis alike, the meditation methods suit any lifestyle and personality. Join us on the next full moon, create a sacred space, soak up the quiet, introspective, luminous energy, shed old layers and plug into your Source.
