"The goal of life is to make your heartbeat match the beat of the universe, to match your nature with nature." - Joseph Campbell
Join Mary for a deep, safe, inspirational (and yes, socially distant! ) dive into shared experiences and a new view of 2020.
8:45 am - 3:15 pm Sunday, August 2nd. Veteran’s Acres Park. Crystal Lake, Illinois.
All-level yoga and meditation practices, creative writing exercises, dynamic group conversations and time for reflection:
leave you feeling grounded and refreshed.
empower your self-expression and restore your mindfulness
restore your peace of mind and your ability to envision the future
help you regain your sense of safety (even during times of uncertainty and loss)
connect with new and old noble friends in a truly supportive community
enable you to create new visions and constructive plans for the rest of 2020
You'll end the day feeling empowered, encouraged, and rested, (and ready for whatever 2020 brings next -(I mean, within reason - :) )
Please wear comfortable clothes, dress for the weather, bring your own yoga mat, props, and lunch- we will provide water (sparkling and plain) and other refreshments. Public restrooms nearby.
To keep us all safe and happy, we are requesting that you maintain appropriate social distance, use hand sanitizer provided where appropriate and wear a mask if you don’t maintain a minimum distance of 6 feet from other participants.
"When so many changes happen so fast, it's easy to "shelter in place" while we wait out the storm. Like swimmers poised near the edge of a pool, we become eager to dive under the turbulent waves of time, to hold our breath and stay safe while we swim as fast as we can through uncertainty, bad news, and fear.
We dismiss our feelings and hurry past unrepeatable moments, longing for a return to a familiar past. But as we mute our feelings (and our life experience), we miss the brilliant possibilities of new, more beneficial paradigms through which to view our lives.
In short, we miss the miracle of being alive as we busy ourselves with "overcoming" challenges. We forget that life is a gift, that this now moment won't happen again.
My intention is to reconnect people with their joyful, beautiful nature so the whole world can benefit from the miracle of their fully expressed presence.
There is nothing better than to realize that "just being yourself" is an extraordinary, invaluable gift to everyone. Frankly, we need each other to be fully here, now more than ever.”
