Nature Altar Building Ritual – 1.5-hour workshop with Natalie Pyrooz

Build an altar ~ in nature, with nature ~ to honor something or someone in your life, someone who has passed, or maybe a season of change or heartfelt emotion.
Create a bit of magic and focus your intention in this ritual, held on the special grounds at Sierra Hot Springs this fall. Maybe you are really ready to let something go, or perhaps you’ve been able to move through some transition or change this year and want to acknowledge your growth. This is the perfect time to create a space for yourself to dive deep and invite some healing and restoring through a practice of intention and ritual.

Bring small pieces that remind you of your purpose and intent to include in your altar – stones, pieces of plants, jewelry/beads, the written word, miniature art. This is an opportunity to make an even deeper connection with a place that is already very special.

Contemplative Dance Practice with Miriam Wolodarski

Contemplative Dance Practice (CDP) is based on the work of dancer and choreographer Barbara Dilley, who developed it as a dancer’s meditation hall / meditator’s dance hall. The practice offers an array of tools to help us become aware of the movement of both body and mind. Through meditation we notice and focus, through movement we become alive and engaged, and through improvisational play we practice dropping our social mask, tuning to each other and our environment in new ways. The sessions consist of three parts. First, sitting meditation, in which we practice noticing the movement of the mind, and guiding our awareness. Second, facilitated personal awareness practice, in which we practice asking our body what it needs, letting go of ambition in favor of sensation and curiosity. Third, a series of improvisations in which we expand our awareness out into space to notice what is calling us, attending to the emergence of arrangements of time and space, relationships, influences, images, or emotions. The sessions are for all bodies; everyone is welcome to join, regardless of past movement experience.

Qigong: Tools for Self-healing 1-1/4 hour class With Beth Freewomon

Qigong (A.K.A. Chi Gong) is a moving meditation technique that not only improves physical fitness, but also assists us in achieving a deeper sense of calm, relieves tension and stress, and helps us recover from injury and illness. It is part of the ancient systems of Taoism and Chinese medicine that value the interconnectedness and inherent wholeness of all of our Self and our body’s seeming parts. Qigong supports our bodies’ natural capacity for self-healing. Qigong allows us to relax, get out of “fight or flight” and our parasympathetic nervous system to take over so healing can happen. Our practice includes conscious breathing, stretching, activation of chi, flowing movements and more.
