Slow and Supported Weekend Workshop

Description

In communal collaboration, we will explore what moving slowly means to us in a culture that wants us to rush, stay busy, and be “productive.” Sometimes our bodies desire a jog, wiggle, or dance, and at other times our body asks us to slow down, sit down, and take a nap; for many reasons, we dismiss the latter. This workshop will incorporate rituals and practices to wind down, engage with the dream space, and honor the liminal spectrum of rest.

We will creatively engage in:
• Restorative yoga
• Yoga Nidra
• Intuitive movement
• Breath awareness
• Relating to the social nervous system
• Sleep rituals and dream recall
• Welcoming the parts of us that resist the slow

This workshop is for any, and everyone…especially those who want to be in a supportive community, collectively unlearning the harmful patterns that push us as a culture towards stress and overwhelm. Our aim is to support each other in knowing and believing we are all worthy of rest.
