Yoga experiences that expand beyond the one-hour class on the mat provide an opportunity to explore the deeper dimensions of yoga or mindfulness. Expand your awareness and integrate your practice through new self-awareness adventures with a workshop or retreat that will dive deeply into a subject and inspire your heart and mind. Our workshops change regularly, so check back monthly to see what we have up and coming.

In this 3-hour workshop, we will explore the seven main Chakras, the energy centers in the body. Through restorative yoga, meditation, gentle movement, sound therapy, aromatherapy, and yoga Nidra, each Chakra will be able to take what it needs to cleanse and heal, allowing your mind, body, and spirit to be renewed and restored.
Root Chakra: Responsible for our feelings of security and stability
Sacral Chakra: Feeds our emotions and creativity
Solar Plexus: The key to our confidence and self-esteem
Heart Chakra: Controls our ability to give and receive love and compassion
Throat Chakra: Allows us to communicate and speak our truth
Third Eye Chakra: Is responsible for our intuition, gut reaction, and internal voice
Crown Chakra: Our spiritual connection to ourself, to others, and to the universe. Our oneness with all things
Leave with a renewed sense of purpose, better able to speak your truth, having more confidence in yourself, with a more open heart and feeling a stronger connection to all things around you.

Step into the magic of the season with our special outdoor Christmas yoga class, meditation and mindful walk, held in a beautifully decorated pavilion illuminated by hundreds of festive twinkling lights. This enchanting event invites you to celebrate the spirit of the holidays through mindful movement, reflection, and community.
The fresh outdoor air enhances the experience, inviting a deeper connection with nature as you move through a soothing yoga flow designed to nurture the body and calm the mind. This class is open to all levels and focuses on gentle movements and deep breathing to help you release the year's stresses and make space for joy and peace.
Following the yoga session, we will take a mindful walk through a candlelit labyrinth, a sacred journey under the night sky that encourages reflection and inner peace. As you walk the labyrinth, you'll have the opportunity to set personal intentions for the season, letting go of what no longer serves you and inviting in the qualities you wish to embody during the holidays and beyond.
We will close the evening with a heartfelt gathering around the firepit, to share stories, sip warm beverages (cocoa, tea & make a s'more over the fire), and enjoy the simple pleasure of being together in this serene, festive setting.
Join us for this magical evening of movement, meditation, and mindful celebration, and leave feeling refreshed, inspired, and deeply connected to the spirit of the season.

Join a small collective of writers committed to learning, growing, and developing their skills in 6-week online sessions that meet through Zoom. Students submit up to 5 double-spaced pages of their work ahead of time, which are shared with the group. Everyone attends a Zoom class for a comprehensive critique session that helps each student develop their works in progress and includes lectures on the prevailing issues for the group, such as defining style, voice, writing with honesty, and character/story development. Assignments designed to fire up creativity and challenge the writers to experiment with new approaches to telling a story are provided at the end of each session as inspiration for the following week's submissions.
We meet approximately every other week to give students time to write and prepare submissions. Meetings are scheduled 10/14, 10/28, 11/4, 11/18, 12/2, 12/16. (Note: we have only one week between Oct and Nov sessions to avoid Holiday conflicts.)
