Yoga Nidra Workshop with Karen Schwisow
Friday, October 24 from 5:30 - 7:00 PM
Yoga Nidra is a powerful technique in which you learn to relax consciously. In Yoga Nidra, the state of relaxation is reached by turning inward, away from outer experiences. One appears to be asleep, but the consciousness is functioning at a deeper level of awareness. For this reason, yoga nidra is often referred to as psychic sleep or deep relaxation with inner awareness. In this threshold state between sleep and wakefulness, contact with the subconscious and unconscious dimensions occurs spontaneously. You'll begin the session with some gentle stretching to release tension from the body so it will be content to lie still. Then you'll get into savasana (a pose that involves lying flat on the floor) with blankets and an eye pillow and do absolutely nothing except listen and relax! Be warned, this can feel so good it's addictive.

Rising Into The Full Moon with Deborah Berrara Pontillo
Sacred waters/Cleansing waters: The gift of rain and tears
Sunday, October 26 from 2:00 - 4:00 PM
A transormational workshop for body, mind, heart and spirit. We will use the vehicles of body, voice and breathe and weave them with guided movement and sound explorations in a gentle, supportive community. We will celebrate and create a full moon ceremony through movement and stillness, sound and silence as we call forth from our deepest and widest selves: our stories, our songs and our dances.
Each of Debora's workshops is aligned with an element in nature. This workshop's element is water. Together we will explore the relationship of water to our bodies, our hearts, our spirits through the gifts water offers. No movement experience necessary.
