This group is birthed out of my own need for community right now, and also the knowing that when we are seen and heard and feel other people get us/share the same fears/love/hopes and dreams...that we are more resilient and resourced and powerful...a huge tool to navigate the coming months and years.
Group Goal:
My #1 basic goal for this group is to provide a safe space to gather in the tumultuous times we find ourselves in right now.
A few other goals/dreams: A place to go deeper; For you all to get to know each other (and yourself) on a slightly more expansive level than every day chit chatting; To build your power and widen your nervous system; To connect to yourself and others and spirit; To have some special time carved out each week for you; To slow down; To catch the dreams; To be the change we want to see in the world.
You will get out of it the energy and commitment you put into it.
Outline of each evening:
-I picture everyone snuggling up with their cozy hoodie, blanket and a cup of hot tea as they join
-We'll spend some time in the beginning with optional sharing of current life stuff/struggles/wins
-Then I'll lead you through an activity with the ultimate goal of moving stuck energy and regulating your nervous system. Depending on who signs up & what spirit tells me, it might be breathwork, meditation, singing, drumming, journaling, other witchy stuff I dream up, etc. This is a bit of an experiment for me, and I'm letting it be as simple or complex as it wants, he he
-Depending on the time left, we'll have the option to share/reflect and then you'll be on your way with hopefully some more fuel in the tank for the week ahead and a deeper sense of community & belonging
Other info:
-I will lovingly encourage everyone to make it live & have cameras on as that will provide for more of the community feeling/support/co-regulation. And, if you can't make one of the calls or dont have the energy to have your camera on, it's totally ok. I dont want that to be a reason you dont join.
-I will record each gathering and send that out so if you can't make it, you can still be in on the magic and healing.
-I'll need at least 5 folks to participate to make this work. If you register, and I dont have 5 folks by class time, Ill refund you your full amount and maybe we can try again soon
-This will be a liberal-leaning group, welcoming & celebrating every race, gender, sexual preference, size, age, shape, color, religion, belief, body, human and spirit. Folks who are happy with the way the world is running right now and/or aren't interested in my liberal rants probably won't enjoy our group. This is your fair warning!
-Have a friend you think would be down for this? Invite them! Its a good idea to make sure they are good with my fair warning, above :)
-Included in the price is the option to attend 2 of my Wed night in-person breathwork circles, at Carpe Diem in St.Paul (3/5 & 4/2, 7-8:30pm). It's a lovely group and I thought it would be cool if a few of us could get together in-person and share an experience.
I hope you are all finding your centers during these crazy times.
