Move to Transform
Feb. 11 / 1 pm - 3 pmwith Candace Thompson-Zachery & Sydnie L. Mosley
In this movement workshop participants will explore ‘How We Be’ by lifting up the power in the everyday, caretaking as an activation of our interconnectedness, and our ability to transform energy in our lives. Come prepared to lead, be led, and reflect on physical practices as a metaphor for life. Note: Participants should bring a journal and writing utensils, and wear clothes that you can move in. Might get sweaty so an extra shirt might be needed.
Rest Your Eyes & Tell Me A Story
Feb. 11 / 3 pm - 5 pmwith Alethea Pace & Katrina Reid
The cold and dark days of winter provide us an opportunity to reflect and connect with ourselves. Leaning into the energy of the season, Katrina and Alethea offer a series of embodied and storytelling practices to generate warmth, to cultivate deep listening and to restore more balance between activity and rest.
