Each of us lives in a body that supports us in so many ways— carrying us wherever we go, transforming food into energy, holding our emotions, and giving us necessary (and often subconscious) signals that guide our actions.
Yet many of us tend to live “in our heads,” as if unaware of, separated, or disconnected from our one-and-only body.
Connected & Whole is a monthly invitation to tune in to what the body is saying, and to care for this body with kindness and presence.
In each stand-alone session, we’ll practice body-awareness meditation, gentle movement (a blend of stretching, yoga, and qigong), and self-massage to cultivate a caring relationship of reciprocity with the body.

This event meets online via Zoom. Having a space that is quiet and where you are not likely to be interrupted will contribute to a more beneficial experience for yourself and all participants. Co-creating a container of respect and presence for this conversation will enhance the benefits of this experience for each and all of us.
This is an experiential, practice-based session. We will begin and end with time together as a group, so if you are able to turn on your video for these parts of our time together, we appreciate it -- this helps to cultivate a sense of community and engagement. Most participants elect to turn off their video during the meditations and other practices to create a sense of privacy and the ability to “go inward.”
