Tending . Celebrating . Me & We. The only agenda is to show-up open-hearted and flow in the river of rest.
These monthly gatherings are spaces to rest together.
To rest is to give up the sense of doing, give up the need to do anything perfectly, and to literally fall back and lay down. To rest may also mean to draw and nourish from that sense of community and familiar stories that we share. Or, your form of rest could be to immerse in quiet self-care time.
We gather on the last Friday of each month.
WHAT TO EXPECT
When it comes to rest experiences, "less is more". Less talk, more rest. These classes are not meant to deliver content/theories. But you can discover and learn a lot about yourself through experiences.
