🧘♀️✨ Date & Time: First Sundays, 4-6:30pm
📍 Location: Green Yogi Telegraph
🎟️ Cost: Free - Just bring a potluck dish to share!
In a world where challenges can feel overwhelming, the need for connection, healing, and hope is stronger than ever. Join Emily Schmookler for this month's "Micro-Dosing Hope" supporting the kick-off into National Cancer Survivor’s Month, a special gathering designed to cultivate resilience and inspire collective courage.
We’ll begin with a free, hour-long yoga class, safe for all levels, focusing on gentle and restorative practices to help us release tension, in addition to breath work and sound bowls to create space for hope. Through movement and breath, we’ll honor our individual and collective journeys and prepare our minds and bodies to receive the support of our community.
As Kritee Kanko beautifully reminds us, "When we grieve collectively within our communities, we come to insights and understanding; we build our power, and our collective ancestral resilience, and the seeds of courage necessary for collective action can blossom."
In this spirit, after our yoga session, we’ll spend 30 minutes in an open discussion, sharing stories of our very own Emily Schmookler and other members of Shay’s Warriors organization, who have lived through cancer treatment and are fostering deep-connections and celebration through survivorship. Let’s celebrate those who are lighting the way and remind ourselves that even in uncertain times, there are always glimmers of hope.
Shay’s Warriors Life After Cancer is a non-profit that aims to inspire, inform, empower and help heal cancer survivors and their families through health, fitness and the mind-body connection. The organization's vision is that no cancer survivor should lack ongoing support from a community that understands and helps each other in the healing process.
After our practice and discussion, we’ll close our time together by breaking bread and sharing a meal. Bring a dish that brings you comfort or represents hope to you. This potluck-style gathering is a chance to nourish not only our bodies but our spirits as we enjoy each other’s company and foster the sense of community we need to keep moving forward.
