About

At the mid winter turning point of solstice, we wish to offer this workshop to women, cis gender and female identifying. To Honour the Cycles of Life we will explore the seasons according to ayurveda, our menstrual cycle, the astrological influence on our emotional bodies, and how they impact who we become as individuals and how we show up in the world.

Winter solstice is a time where we reflect on the return of the light, offering a moment to honour the suns' influence on renewal. In addition, the full moon a few days after the workshop, allows us to focus on balancing outward demands with grounded, internal structure. This date for the workshop was not chosen by chance!

Over this three-hour workshop the themes we will be introducing are:

* connecting to nature and the natural cycles of life
* exploring the energetics of lightness and darkness
* surrendering to what is not needed

We will explore embodied awareness practices including somatic movement and breath work; ayurvedic doshic cycles of life and seasons; and astrological wisdom relating to moon cycles.

If you feel like you have been swimming against the current; out of alignment with your own true nature; or feeling disregulated in your nervous system, this workshop is for you.

Your investment includes:
* a three hour workshop
* warm drink upon arrival
* interpretative analysis of your moon sign
* a fire ritual
* an ayurvedic afternoon tea
