Hibernation prep

Thank you to those of you who completed the Wellness Opportunities Interest Survey If you haven’t had a chance yet, please take a few minutes to fill it out. Your input is essential assisting me in creating offerings that meet your needs as we move into the new year.

We had a lovely sound bath last Saturday, which made me even more excited for the End of Year Restorative Retreat on the 30th. As we approach the Winter Solstice, my body and mind are both urging me to slow down and make time for rest and ease. I saw a post today reminding me that winter is a time of hibernation. Preparing ourselves with warm foods and drinks, cozy clothes and blankets, books, movies, arts and crafts, and plenty of time to just be is essential for our bodies and spirits to rejuvenate from all the effort of the rest of the year. While our modern society doesn’t typically slow down much in the winter, we can make conscious efforts to build in time to listen to our bodies and say yes to what we need. Time for yoga, meditation, journaling, rest, and other healing practices are wonderful ways to care for ourselves.

I would love for you to join me this weekend for Saturday Morning Yoga as we pause to listen to our bodies and care for them with lovingkindness. As a reminder my friend Kate is offering Monday and Wednesday morning classes from katekelly.yoga.

The final day of Hanukkah is tomorrow! Let us keep our own light shining as we send peace, love, and hope into the world through each breath.

I am collaborating with the Aveda store in the Cherry Creek Mall to provide sound healing support to customers this Sunday, December 17 from 1:30-3:00 and next Tuesday, December 19 from 4-5:30. Drop by for a little sound healing and some wonderful products.
