With the conclusion of our initial Community Conversations circle over the summer, we found ourselves desiring more opportunity to gather in this way. It became a space where we could vulnerably share and listen without judgement – even when faced with challenging topics.

In an effort to create more opportunities for this type of community building to continue, we are happy to have Madison – longtime Satya student and yoga practitioner, and all around great human – to lead us twice a month in a Community Building Circle offering. For more information, see our website.

Sink into the Autumn season with Hollie. We will honor the middle of autumn through a discussion of the astrological archetypes of Scorpio season, dive deep into the themes of autumn according to Traditional Chinese Medicine, reflect on current transits of the cosmos, and finish with a yin practice that weaves it all together. Although inherently part of our essence, each season contains qualities that can get lost if we don't take time to slow down, reflect, listen, and integrate. Arriving at a state of deep listening, where we can contemplate the nature of what is swirling through the cosmos, oceans, and our own energy, can create and strengthen paths of clarity. When we slow down and nurture the light held deep within, there is potential for more authentic ease and harmony throughout all aspects of our lives.  We will review how this time of year was examined and translated in ancient times, look at current astrological movements of the stars, and weave it all into a yin practice meant to open further to personal information and insights held within, integrating it into our cells. During this practice we will not look at individual birth charts, though having some knowledge of yours can be helpful. Those who register will be given resources to create their own, or the offer to have a copy printed prior to our meeting.

Hey there, noble ones. Let's have a discussion about growing older, autonomy, and death and dying using our lived experience, Being Mortal by Atul Gawande, and some additional enjoyable optional media.
Gawande uses his lived experience, along with the experiences of friends, patients and other medical professionals to paint a picture of growing older and eventually debilitating in this country. His experience may be quite similar to yours as an adult child or caregiver. Other media that you may find helpful include an interview with the author and the following contemporary films available for streaming .

Beyond a book club discussion, the intention is to have a heartfelt dialogue on what growing old means to us and our loved ones in our culture. Perhaps this will be a springboard for discernment and decisions in our own lives.

Don't worry if you don't have time to consume all of these resources. Your lived experience is enough.

The winter solstice has been a significant occasion for all cultures throughout history. It is the shortest day of the year, when there is more darkness than any other day. However, it is also a turning point when the waning daylight is reversed and the growing daylight begins. It is the birth of budding light during a time of great darkness. This day can be celebrated to savor the main qualities of the winter solstice: darkness and light.

This workshop will center on the intention to honor the darkness and invite the light within all of us. We will honor and investigate the darkness with forward folds and invite the growing light with an exploration of sun salutations. A guided candlelight meditation will take us deep within ourselves to find the presence of the solstice within us: even in the greatest darkness, there is light.
