Another Year, Another Workshop – YAY!!

Time keeps on keeping on… I’m settling deeper into the mountains – working full time, studying part-time, teaching online most days, volunteering and living a life with all the ups and downs that living a life entails. I’m not showing up in this space to write so much anymore because the emails that go out with my Short & Sweet Sessions fulfil the part of me that craves to write down words, thoughts & ideas. This space is valuable to me because it keeps somewhat of a record of where I am at a particular time, how i’ve changed – or haven’t. Undeniably I, like time, keep on keeping on – these days with curious questions that don’t need answers. And, delightfully, with folks who are also curious and crave spaces to ask their own questions without the hierarchy of seeking an answer from me.

My job is to be your cheerleader. To offer tools for you to pick up and try in the sanctuary of your own space, or space held by me that holds no judgement. Tools that are practical for the beginner and nuanced-enough for the experienced to make sharing space together worth your time and effort. Because putting in the time is always worth the effort when it works for you.

This is a glimpse of some of the feedback from last year’s workshop: ‘D and I wanted to thank you for the great weekend of practice and play…Coming from very different places, we were both highly engaged, everything was accessible (you quickly reassured us that we could do as we needed for our needs) and we came out with so much to think about and bring into our practice.’ P.R.

Playful. Curious. Relevant. Simple. Life’s complicated enough – sometimes it’s worth the effort to take a time out – especially if it includes putting some time in for yourself.

Our Yearly Summer Workshop is like that. Gift yourself some time moving in the mountains, on the mat, with community. It’s a beautiful thing!
