Journey within to ignite your inner fire!
As Nature gathers in the sun’s life force to store for the cold months ahead, we can either resist the coming darkness or we can journey within to illuminate and empower who we truly are. The amount of work is the same.
The shortening days and the lengthening nights invite us to go within and explore the liminal places between day and night, brightness and shadow, fear and acceptance. The self-awakening practice of Continuum reminds us to slow down, rest with what is happening in this moment, and reconnect to what is alive in each of us. It’s the perfect time to embrace the contracting forces of our own resistance to meet the unknown with power and creativity.
This can be a challenging time of year for many people. Many people feel tired, drained, and depressed. Give yourself the gift of rest, reflection, acceptance, and inspiration to replenish your life force reserves. The life force we are born with is what ignites the fires within that blaze, glow, or dampen depending on what happens in our lives and how we respond to it.
The longer format classes of Continuum devote time and space to exploring what it means to be in a human body-mind. Guided by breath, vocalized sounds, imagery, and simple biological movement impulses, we recover awareness and restore sensations in the body that are flattened by the speed of modern life and lost in the cultural quicksand of fear, sorrow, and pain.
Think of these 2 classes as a weekly personal retreat or spiritual bathing. Anything that carries devotion can become a soulful ritual. The secret is, as poet Mary Oliver shares, “to keep the appointment” with ourselves. Generating more empathy and compassion for ourselves, may make it easier to perceive the same in others and let our inner light shine out into the places of shadow and darkness around the globe.
Every Body is welcome! Appropriate for teens and adults of all abilities. No previous experience is required. Bring your curiosity, an open mind, and you’ll have everything you need.
Please wear comfortable layers of clothing you feel like moving in; bring a notebook and a water bottle to each class.
