Dissolving

Duality for Our Own Healing:

An Exploration through Yoga, Mindfulness, and Art

Facilitated

by Ann Friedenheim, MA, CAADC, RYT

Saturday, March 24, 2012

10am-4pm

In this full day workshop, we

will examine the way we often disown aspects of ourselves by way of judgments,

expectations and messages from long ago. We will look at how, when it comes to

self acceptance, we so often treat others with greater kindness than we do

ourselves.

 

To help cultivate

an attitude of compassion and honesty, participants will be invited to slow

down and engage in a process of self exploration and integration. We will be

using mindfulness practices such as Kripalu and LifeForce Yoga, artwork,

writing and sharing to better connect to a non-dualistic sense of ourselves in

which we can rest and appreciate all that we are.

Participants are asked to bring an object that represents " feeling safe in

the face of challenge " . Also, please bring a yoga mat (if you have one), a

blanket and any

other yoga props you might use. We will be writing so bring a journal if you

like although paper will be provided.

 

We will be lying

down on the floor for extended periods of time for those who are able. Chairs

will also be provided for people who prefer to sit.
