SUMMER SOMATIC YOGA
WEDNESDAYS 11am-12:30pm June 11 - July 23, 2025 (No class June 25) @River Lodge, Courtenay Join us for this slow, meditative practice. Through slowing down, awareness arises. Patterns of tension held in the body are brought into the light of Awareness so that they may be released. Through a series of slow, simple movements we learn to recognise and release these patterns, bringing freedom, liberation and wholeness to the body-heart-mind. Pre-registration required. $120/ 6 sessions. Pre-Registration: email River: [email protected] or call 250-650-0126 WOMENS SUMMER SOLSTICE DANCE RITUAL

Daylong Community Grief Ritual ~ with River Saturday May 3, 2025 @River Lodge Courtenay (address given on registration) 10am - 5pm | $108-$188 siding scale Join us for a day of guided intentional ritual held in confidence among participants. Through guided ritual, reflection, writing practice, song, dance and a powerful ritual inspired by Joanna Macy (Truth Mandala) we tend our personal and collective grief. Everyone will have an opportunity to share and express what they feel called to share, but you are not required to do so. Witnessing plays an invaluable role, and your attentive presence makes a difference. This ritual draws inspiration from the teachings of Francis Weller and Joanna Macy. All genders, all ages are welcome. REGISTER YOUR SPOT: Email: [email protected] |
