RETURNING - 6 week Autumn Initiation Course

À propos de cet événement

Reflect. Let go. Return.

Do you long to arrive in your body and in the present moment?
Would you like to celebrate the seasonal transition from summer to autumn in community?
Do you want to learn how the cycles of nature inform your inner process?
Would you like to develop habits that support your path towards self alignment?

The transition from summer to autumn invites us to slow down, turn inwardly, reflect on our year’s harvest, decompose what no longer serves us and return to our core.
What are the intentions we want to plant to germinate in Winter and sprout; flower when the light returns in Spring?

As a certified Mindfulness trainer and Ecopsychologist, I’ll equip you with body-mind-soul practices to strengthen your sense of connection to your inner and outer landscape. These practices will be your web of support throughout the year to follow your path with joy & determination.
