Most workshops require a minimum number of students for the workshop to go ahead. Once the workshop is confirmed and the registrations are confirmed, there are no refunds. Much like a concert or sporting event, if you cannot attend the workshop you have registered for, you can find someone to attend in your place. In case of inclement weather, the registrants for a workshop will be notified as soon as the decision is made to not hold the workshop. If a workshop is cancelled due to inclement weather, full refunds will be provided to all registrants. If a workshop interests you, please register as soon as possible to ensure that the workshop will be held.

HEALING OURSELVES, HEALING OUR COMMUNITIES
With Certified Yoga Teacher Lucinda Pepper, Yoga Nidra Practitioner Carla Vogel, & Reflective Journal Group Leader Connie Vandeveer
Each of us can contribute to the healing of our community by addressing and inviting what is torn and broken in ourselves to heal. Using the penetrating power of yoga, meditation, and literature, we will invite in healing for ourselves, for our individually diverse communities, and for our collective community.
This workshop will combine gently active yoga practice to satisfy the body and focus the mind; restorative yoga practice to deepen the breath and allow the inner gaze to broaden; poetry and the words of others to promote a deep connection to our emotional and energetic selves; reflective journaling (Svadhyaya, self-reflection- optional) to create words of healing for ourselves; and Yoga Nidra, a form of deep guided meditation (sometimes referred to as Yogic Sleep) to allow this work to go beyond our body and mind and help us touch into our illimitable selves, where the resources for deep healing exist.
You do not have to be a writer, a yoga practitioner or a journaller to attend this workshop. It is a beautiful practice designed for all levels of students!
Please bring: your favorite blanket, a notebook or journal and pen/pencil, and a favorite poem, song, or chant.
March 21, 2010, 1:00-4:00 p.m.
This workshop is being offered in the spirit of generosity.
As we offer this workshop our intent is to spark individual resources within each of you that will work toward healing of our individual and collective communities. You may donate whatever amount you would like to, but no one will be turned away for inability to donate or pay.
