Waking Up to Your Senses

Coming Again Soon!

The five senses are the gateway to embodiment. When we connect with our inner experience through the senses, we become more fully present & at ease with each unfolding moment. Explore a variety of mindfulness practices that are intended to awaken our perceptions without conceptual overlay, adding vividness and peaceful vitality to our experiences. This workshop is appropriate for anyone who wishes to enhance their sensory awareness and become more fully embodied using a contemplative approach. Please bring a mat or blanket.

Awareness of Thoughts

Coming Again Soon!

Our minds are often clouded by the activity of our thoughts, distracting us away from our full awareness of the present moment. By learning to simply watch our thoughts without pushing them away or becoming entangled in them, we become familiar with our habitual tendencies and open to the spacious potential our minds are capable of creating. This workshop is for anyone who wishes to expand their awareness by freeing the mental chatter of their mind, leading to greater clarity and perspective.

Embracing Emotions

Coming Again Soon!

Mindfulness provides a means of recognizing emotional states in ways that allow us to be fully present with the emotional experience through gentleness and kindness, rather than reactivity or resistance. By looking at emotions through the lens of curiosity, we invite ourselves to transform emotional energy in ways that lead to greater clarity, compassion, and freedom. This workshop is for anyone who wishes to explore a deeper understanding of emotions, while cultivating a sense of resiliency and gratitude in the process.

Cultivating Kindness & Compassion

Coming Again Soon!

Heartful qualities of kindness and compassion are the foundation to feeling more connected to ourselves and others. When we pay attention through patience and nonjudgmental awareness, we develop mindful appreciation for our experiences just as they are. Through kind awareness, our feelings of separation from others begins to soften, and we bring the same caring process to ourselves in response to life's ups and downs. This workshop is for anyone who wishes to explore our interconnectedness and grow more balanced relationships with self and others.

Engaging Your Creative Essence

Coming Soon ~ Stay Tuned!

Many of us spend a great deal of time caught up in the thinking mind. This workshop takes us out of our heads and invites us to get in touch with our more easeful, creative nature through an exploration of contemplative arts. If the words “art” and “creativity” scare you, then this class is especially for you! From a mindfulness perspective, our creative essence is discovered through the process not the end result. Learn to let go of judgment and expectation, and open to endless possibilities and potential as we explore mandala making, haiku, and brush meditation. No prior knowledge or experience necessary—simply bring your playful curiosity!

Introduction to the Five Wisdom Energies workshop series

Coming soon ~ Stay Tuned!

The Five Wisdom Energies is a Buddhist way of understanding personalities, emotions, and relationships through the interplay of the five elemental energies of earth, water, fire, wind, and space. Also known as the Five Buddha Families, these dynamic energies exist within a system known as the Mandala Principle and give rise to a rich array of qualities that influence how we perceive and interact with our world. Through this informative and experiential workshop, participants will begin to cultivate greater self-awareness, relate more compassionately to & learn to transform various emotional states, uncover personal strengths, and liberate creative expression—all of which have the propensity to improve communication, self-understanding, and personal relationships. Please dress comfortably and come with an open mind!

Please check back for dates when these workshops will be offered again OR request one of these themed workshops for your next professional development workshop.
