Seasonal Radical Rest Sundays
Quarterly | 4:00–6:00pm EST
Yin • Qigong • Somatic Movement • Yoga Nidra

Each season, you're invited into a two-hour sanctuary of intentional rest—where movement gives way to stillness, and stillness becomes a doorway to presence.

These Seasonal Radical Rest sessions are offered once each quarter, aligned with the rhythms of nature and the wisdom of the Five Elements from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Through somatic movement, Yin yoga, Qigong, and guided Yoga Nidra, we explore a central seasonal theme—gently shifting energy, cultivating awareness, and deepening your sense of belonging within yourself and your community.

💫 You’ll receive:

  • A guided Yoga Nidra recording to support your seasonal journey (available for 3 months)

  • A pre-workshop worksheet with reflection questions to deepen your personal inquiry.

  • Ongoing support through accountability emails and occasional bonus Yoga Nidra recordings tied to the seasonal theme.

This new format is a space for meaningful integration—where the seed of your heartfelt intention is planted and nurtured across months, not moments. It’s about committing to your practice, listening inward, and gently living your answers.

Join for one, or commit to all four for a full year of guided seasonal transformation.

I look forward to sharing this intentional, heart-centered time with you.

Summer:
Fire element, Heart, Small Intestine,
Taste, Circulation

During the change of seasons, the nervous system becomes especially sensitive to what is going on in nature. Our Summer Workshop embraces the Fire Element

As the warmth of summer envelops us, we turn our focus to the Fire element, a symbol of growth, vitality, and connection. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), summer is the season of Fire, and it governs the heart and small intestine, inviting us to expand our energy, spark creativity, and find joy in connection. This season, our classes will honor the Fire element, cultivating balance and alignment with nature’s rhythms.

The Fire Element in Summer:

Yin Organ: Heart
The Heart is the seat of our emotional life, connection, and joy. It governs not only our circulation but also our spirit, guiding us to open our hearts and express love, warmth, and compassion. The summer heat nurtures this expansive energy, inviting a deeper connection to the people and experiences that ignite our inner fire.

Yang Organ: Small Intestine
The Small Intestine helps us differentiate and digest both physical and emotional nourishment. This organ supports clarity, discernment, and decision-making, helping us separate what serves us from what does not. In summer, it’s a time to refine our inner vision, clearing space for fresh, vibrant energy to flow.

YOGA NIDRA and Modern Research
In the field of neuroscience, there continues to be discovery and support of the profound effects that Yoga Nidra has on your nervous system. Better sleep, greater clarity of thinking, enhanced creativity, hormonal balance which has the added bonus in assisting with weight loss. These are are just of few of the research results and benefits of a regular Nidra Practice.

Take some time for yourself . Honour your soul. Give yourself the gift of the Sacred Pause.
