Kirtan is one of the many precious spiritual traditions that India has developed and offered to the world. It's a space for coming together to celebrate the magnificent creative power that gives birth to the material universe. We sing mantras that glorify and honor the divine essence that flows through life, meditating on the sounds that name that essence and call it into form. No experience necessary.

Embodied Resilience for Runners will raise funds for Girls on the Run Western Mass. This workshop offers adults and teens the tools to feel empowered in their bodies as they run and move through life. Drawing on the Alexander Technique and somatic practices, this trauma-informed, body-positive class helps runners develop a three-dimensional understanding of their bodies, release unnecessary tension, and discover more ease and freedom in their movement.

During this workshop you will be exploring tools to stretch existing patterns and try new ways to talk, touch and be together. Through somatic offerings such as cellular holding, conscious touch-both giving and receiving, and writing prompts, you will refine your ability to hear, see, and feel what your partner is experiencing. Who doesn't need more of that?

This unique series weaves yoga, gentle somatic practices and expressive writing to foster reconnection with our body's innate wisdom and empower our authentic creative voice. Our bodies hold memories and emotions, old traumas and deep wisdom. Through a balance of gentle somatic movements and empowering yoga poses, we will cultivate a deep internal awareness (interoception) to release chronic tension and calm the nervous system. As we liberate this energy, we create a clear channel for self-expression.

In this heart-opening two-hour Restorative Contact workshop, you and your partner will be gently guided through a mindful touch practice that nurtures connection, trust, and intimacy.
