Description:
Join us to celebrate the arrival of 2025 with the New Year team—Sylvia Boorstein (a founding Spirit Rock teacher), Brahmani Liebman (Kripalu Yoga Teacher, Trainer & Mindful Movement Teacher), Barbara Bogatin (San Francisco Symphony cellist), and Barbara Borden (Drums, Percussion, The Keeper of the Beat)—as we individually and collectively respond to the fundamental question, “What, in challenging times, keeps the mind alert and buoyant, and the heart hopeful and generous?”
Together we’ll explore the practices that have sustained us throughout the last year and the lessons we’ve learned, which we hope to carry forward with us. We’ll share stories, Dharma, meditation instructions and practice periods, guided mindful movement, and music. Please join us as we, in the words of the Buddha, “Move into the future with confidence.”
