Embodied Climate Action Workshop: Gratitude for Grieving
Tamara Yakaboski, PhD
Saturday, Nov. 9 | 1–3 p.m. | $10 In–person
Ecological grief is the most natural response to the destruction of our collective home and Earth mother. We will explore what you love enough to grieve and how to use that grief to empower your climate action. This workshop will explore how to feel gratitude for a grief that has no closure and is often disenfranchised grief, where there is not general societal or cultural support for grief’s emotions.
Exploring the Seasons with Yoga & Breathwork: Winter Solstice Workshop | Saturday, Dec. 28 | 9:30 a.m.– 12 p.m.| $55
Instructors: Celine Burgett & Amanda Shannon
In this series, we will dive into the highest potential for healing and growth as it pertains to each season. This Yoga and Radical Breathwork workshop is designed with themes around the seasons to enlighten, heal, and connect you to who you truly are.
Release and Reset Insight + Sound Workshop
Saturday, Nov. 16 | 9:30 a.m.–12 p.m. | $55 In–person
We will start the morning with an intuitive reading, intention setting meditation + journaling, and guided release practices. We will then take a sound journey in support of letting go of what no longer serves us. Crystal singing bowls and various other instruments will be used.
Previous meditation experience is not required.
Note to Students: Please bring your yoga mat, blanket, journal & pen, water bottle and anything else needed to be comfortable in both seated and lying positions.

Mindfulness: An Approach to Life
Nancy Behney, Mindfulness Teacher
Saturday, Nov. 9 | 1 – 3 p.m. | $25
This experiential class will focus on mindfulness as a practice, through discussions, activities and teachings. Participants will learn the benefits of mindfulness practices: how to strengthen their ability to cope with short and long-term stress and how mindfulness can reconnect individuals to their strengths and joys. Students will leave with a deeper knowledge of the positive role mindfulness can play in daily life.
Tai Chi in The Gardens
Tai Chi is a traditional Chinese system of body movement that has been cherished over the centuries for its beneficial impact on health of the heart, bones, nerves, muscles, immune system and the mind. Often referred to as “meditation in motion,” Tai Chi is widely practiced around the world, preferably in a beautiful outdoor setting.
