SUMMARY:Unhurried & Unbothered: Yoga for Radical Restoration
DESCRIPTION:with Keisha Turner  \nCultivating deep awareness requires us to slow down.  There are many lessons waiting to be uncovered in silence\, stillness\, and slowness.  Unhurried & Unbothered: Yoga for Radical Restoration is an invitation to practice slowing down as the antidote for the violent pace of capitalism.  In each session\, the daily demands so many of us face to move quickly and do more will be greeted with the call to move slowly\, do less\, and treat our bodies and minds with great tenderness.   We will practice poses that are slow\, sometimes repetitive\, and restorative in nature. Multiple expressions of each pose will be offered and participants are invited to practice lying down\, seated\, or standing\, according to their own body wisdom and access needs. \nNo Registration / Drop In Format.  \nPlease dress comfortably. We provide yoga mats and props\, you may bring your own if you wish.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Unhurried & Unbothered: Yoga for Radical Restoration
DESCRIPTION:with Keisha Turner  \nCultivating deep awareness requires us to slow down. There are many lessons waiting to be uncovered in silence\, stillness\, and slowness. Unhurried & Unbothered: Yoga for Radical Restoration is an invitation to practice slowing down as the antidote for the violent pace of capitalism. In each session\, the daily demands so many of us face to move quickly and do more will be greeted with the call to move slowly\, do less\, and treat our bodies and minds with great tenderness. We will practice poses that are slow\, sometimes repetitive\, and restorative in nature. Multiple expressions of each pose will be offered and participants are invited to practice lying down\, seated\, or standing\, according to their own body wisdom and access needs. \nTo Attend via Zoom Video:  \nhttps://zoom.us/j/998581309 \nTo Attend via Zoom Audio (Phone):  \n1-669-900-6833 Meeting ID: 998581309#

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Unhurried & Unbothered: Yoga for Radical Restoration
DESCRIPTION:with Keisha Turner  \nCultivating deep awareness requires us to slow down. There are many lessons waiting to be uncovered in silence\, stillness\, and slowness. Unhurried & Unbothered: Yoga for Radical Restoration is an invitation to practice slowing down as the antidote for the violent pace of capitalism. In each session\, the daily demands so many of us face to move quickly and do more will be greeted with the call to move slowly\, do less\, and treat our bodies and minds with great tenderness. We will practice poses that are slow\, sometimes repetitive\, and restorative in nature. Multiple expressions of each pose will be offered and participants are invited to practice lying down\, seated\, or standing\, according to their own body wisdom and access needs. \nTo Attend via Zoom Video:  \nZoom link: https://zoom.us/j/382617023 \nPhone +1 669 900 6833 Meeting ID: 382 617 023

SUMMARY:4 Divine Abodes in Challenging Times: An Online Retreat
DESCRIPTION:4 Divine Abodes in Challenging Times: A 1-day Silent Retreat\nwith Rev. Liên Shutt \nIn these challenging times\, the teachings on the 4 Divine Abodes can help us to stay centered and uplifted. \nWhile we all have a sense of Kindness\, Compassion\, Inclusive Joy\, and Equanimity\, it can be hard to access to these qualities when there’s a lot of internal or worldly turmoil. Therefore\, these Abodes are best practiced as guided meditations; with phrases to connect to — for ourselves and to be able to send out to others. \nJoin for the full day or come in/out as you’re able. There will be short teachings and 2 short meditations per Abode quality. However\, please try to TIME your entering/exiting to coincide with the times below to allow for the managers/moderators to be able to participate also. \nNOTE: Teachings on each Divine Abode are only at the times marked. Therefore\, if possible\, please join at the beginning for the Introductions & 1st Teachings to get the full sense of how these are best practiced. ALL Meditations are visualized guided meditations. The 2nd in each Abode section will be more in silent for your own personalization. Registered participants will receive the full schedule with their confirmation email from EventBrite. \n
