Seasonal Radical Rest Sundays
Quarterly | 4:00–6:00pm EST
Yin • Qigong • Somatic Movement • Yoga Nidra

Each season, you're invited into a two-hour sanctuary of intentional rest—where movement gives way to stillness, and stillness becomes a doorway to presence.

These Seasonal Radical Rest sessions are offered once each quarter, aligned with the rhythms of nature and the wisdom of the Five Elements from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Through somatic movement, Yin yoga, Qigong, and guided Yoga Nidra, we explore a central seasonal theme—gently shifting energy, cultivating awareness, and deepening your sense of belonging within yourself and your community.

💫 You’ll receive:

  • A guided Yoga Nidra recording to support your seasonal journey .

  • A pre-workshop worksheet with reflection questions to deepen your personal inquiry.

  • Ongoing support through accountability emails and occasional bonus Yoga Nidra recordings tied to the seasonal theme.

This format is a space for meaningful integration—where the seed of your heartfelt intention is planted and nurtured across months, not moments. It’s about committing to your practice, listening inward, and gently living your answers.

Join for one, or commit to all four for a full year of guided seasonal transformation.

I look forward to sharing this intentional, heart-centered time with you.

🍁 Next Workshop: October 26, 2025

Autumn: Metal Element — Lungs & Large Intestine
Qualities: Clarity • Courage • Letting Go • Refinement

As daylight softens and the air grows crisp, the body and spirit naturally turn toward reflection and release. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Autumn is the season of the Metal Element, representing purity, precision, and the art of letting go. It is the time to clear what no longer serves and to refine what remains essential — much like trees surrendering their leaves to nourish the soil for seasons to come.

During this workshop, we’ll move, breathe, and rest into balance with nature’s rhythm — honoring the breath, cultivating gratitude, and restoring inner clarity through mindful movement, qigong, and Yoga Nidra.

🌬️ The Metal Element in Autumn

Yin Organ: Lungs 🫁
The lungs govern the breath — our most intimate exchange with life. They help us receive inspiration, vitality, and spirit through each inhale. In Autumn, we practice expanding the chest, deepening the breath, and releasing grief or stagnation held within, so we may feel renewed spaciousness and peace.

Yang Organ: Large Intestine 🌿
The large intestine teaches us to let go — physically, mentally, and emotionally. It supports healthy boundaries and discernment, reminding us that releasing what is complete creates room for new life. Through mindful movement and guided rest, we honor this natural cycle of clearing and renewal.

This Autumn Workshop invites you to pause, breathe, and align with the season’s quiet wisdom — cultivating courage, simplicity, and grace as we transition toward winter’s stillness.

🍂 Reserve your spot today for the October 26th Autumn Workshop.
Let’s gather in community — to breathe deeply, release gently, and realign with the beauty of the changing season.

YOGA NIDRA and Modern Research
In the field of neuroscience, there continues to be discovery and support of the profound effects that Yoga Nidra has on your nervous system. Better sleep, greater clarity of thinking, enhanced creativity, hormonal balance which has the added bonus in assisting with weight loss. These are are just of few of the research results and benefits of a regular Nidra Practice.

Take some time for yourself . Honour your soul. Give yourself the gift of the Sacred Pause.
