Join us for a Shamanic Journey to celebrate Imbolg

Sunday, February 2nd, 4:00 - 6:00 p.m.

Imbolg is the midpoint of Winter where we stand between the light of our future and release anything holding us back from our past. Linda Ferguson is a seasoned practitioner leading Shamanic Journeys for the past 10+ years.

A Shamanic Journey is a long guided meditation where you can access the deeper parts of yourself.

Love Offering Donation for this experience.

Imbolg is a time to nestle deep within yourself. During the weeks ahead, meditate on these questions:

What needs nurturing so it will grow this year?
What is simmering below the surface to heal or strengthen you?
What is speaking deep within you that needs further attention?

Yoga for Stress Relief and Anxiety with Brian

Tuesdays 6pm

Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed?

Or you're struggling with depression?

Stress is abundant, and seems to be on the rise.

What I love about practicing Yoga is the transformation it brings. Yoga works on many levels, as we are multidimensional Human Beings.

The nervous system is one of the levels we can actively benefit, switching our bodies out of sympathetic (Fight and Flight) response to parasympathetic (Rest and Restore) response. Ahhh!

In yoga practice, through the sequencing of tense and rest/release, we can train our bodies to shift more easily from stress to being at ease in our every day life.

Most yoga styles fall into the general category of Hatha Yoga. Hatha Yoga is a system of yoga which dates back to Yogi Swatmarama, who lived in the 15th century in India. The aim of Hatha Yoga is to create greater balance between body and mind, to free the flow of the life force in the body, and ultimately, to prepare body and mind for more subtle spiritual experiences of meditation.

A Hatha yoga practice includes yoga asanas, yoga postures designed to improve health and remove imbalances, and Pranayama, traditional breathing exercises to help bring greater peace to the mind and the subtle body.

We are currently offering the following Hatha Yoga classes:
