Contemplative Practices for Challenging Times (CPCT)

FIRST SUNDAY OF THE MONTH Workshop: Combination of yoga poses (asana) and Qigong movements, along with time for writing and/or art making, affirmations to YOUR Higher Power (whomever or whatever that is to YOU), and the use of mantra (repetition of a sacred sound, positive words or phrases.)

2 pm – 4 pm (PST) • FIRST Sundays:
JANUARY 3  /  MARCH 7  /   MAY 2  /  JUNE 6

Via Zoom Platform
Each First Sunday gathering will reflect a monthly theme and alternates between yoga as the physical activity one month, and Qigong the following month. The asana and Qigong movements are “user-friendly” and can be adapted as needed. The focus of this program is to support your inner world through contemplative and creative practices. All Levels Welcome!

NOTE: If you are unable to attend all of the workshops, no problem! I will still send you a reminder/Zoom invitation at the beginning of each month IF you sign up!

Can’t make any of the fall courses, but would like to work with me privately – or with a friend or small group? I’m available virtually anywhere in the world, via Zoom, and onsite – I come to you by appointment – in the North County San Diego area – for training sessions tailored to your needs (with masks and social distancing protocols in place.) Please contact me for further information. If you’re new to my work, we can set up a consultation. If you are a current student – or have been in the past – we can set a time to get you started on an individualized program.
