HEART OF DARKNESS Winter Solstice Practice
with Jen McClellan & Taylor Donovan
Sunday, Dec. 19 5:00-6:30p.m.
For time immemorial humans have taken refuge in the darkest, longest night. The time between this longest night and the New Year has traditionally been used to both quiet down and reflect as well as re-vision the awareness of one's self. This evenin will include a guided meditation with Taylor Donovan, crystal bowl toning by Jennifer McClellan, and readings from several traditions celebrating this special time of year. Come away with a sense of resolve and empowerment to manifest the best “you” ever seen.
Cost: $12 at the door
with Jen McClellan
Monday, Dec. 20, 5:45-7:15 p.m.
Celebrate the Winter Solstice by challenging yourself to complete a Mala –
108 Sun Salutations. 108 is a very auspicious number in the yogic tradition.
The sun salutation is one of the most effective ways to learn about the vinyasa, binding the breath to the movement. “The notion of a salutation to the sun is to pay your respects and surrender to the universe. This can be taken as a metaphor to let go physically – the mind follows as you move ‘inside’ the practice.”
There will be a special crystal singing bowl savasana (relaxation) at the end.
