Description:
As we are called to develop greater capacity to meet what is unfolding in our world, finding our way back to the depths of what we actually are is key. Through explorations in movement and stillness, we meet the vastness of the sky/mind and the dynamism of our precious bodies. This integration can give us a glimpse of the non-dual nature of our essence and its power to transform how we meet the world.

Our time together will include periods of guided meditation, Dharma reflections, movement, and Q&A. Join us!
