Greetings Mudita Community!

These are the days of miracles and wonder.
-Paul Simon
As we begin to bring this year to a close and welcome a new decade, I invite you to experience the power of JOY! To feel in your soul that these truly can be days of 'miracles and wonder.' To realize there is an inner spring of infinite joy that is available to you, right now. To believe in that joy.
Sounds wonderful, yes? An invitation our heart truly wants to accept. Yet, the stress of our everyday lives often overrides receiving the invitation. That compiled with the holidays, we find ourselves harried, draped in wrapping paper, wishing for it all to be over. We wonder where is the miracle, where is the wonder, where is the joy. Our belief in joy wanes.
This year, the invitation is here to make a different choice, to allow your belief to expand. An invitation to allow your self-care to lead as you bring the year to a close. An invitation to enter the New with deep listening, to heed the call to stillness, and take action toward joy.
Our invitations of
workshops, retreats, service and training opportunities
are here to support you to create a life of miracles, wonder and JOY!
As you peruse this newsletter may you listen to what is calling to you,
feel motivated by your heart, by love,
to take action, to accept the invitation of JOY!
From there, may your belief in JOY flourish!

Winter's arrival beckons us to slow down, to listen on a deep level, to draw inward.
The darkness calls us toward ourselves, to know our soul and be revealed in our deepest desires.
The sound an invitation to connect to our internal rhythm.
The quiet offers us space to embrace the wisdom at our roots.

reflection

renewal

Come and explore this gentle, yet powerful, experience for the mind and body.
The sound will cultivate deep relaxation as the guided meditation invites a place of
calm, a space of self-inquiry.
The combination is a powerful alchemy -
a place to rest in your own being,
to experience the secret places of the soul,
to receive!

An invitation to a life changing experience
|
|
|
Two fabulous offerings for you:
500 Hour Yoga Teacher Training
(includes trauma informed training)
and
Trauma Informed Training
Whole Heart, Whole Being
both begin
January 10th
|
|
Choosing in to a teacher training is one of the best decisions I have ever made! The unforeseen benefits have had an extraordinary effect on me, have changed my life forever.
Here are my top three reasons to leave fear at the door and accept the invitation:
|
|
You are ready to Expand:
What better way to learn about your mind, your body, your spirit than within this practice that is union. Not only will you explore alignment and break down postures which helps deepen your personal practice, but as well you will observe and explore why this pose feels great in your body and why others challenge you. Witnessing your mind, feeling your physical body and experiencing emotional connection is an intimacy that can only come from direct experience. This growth offers a more efficient and effective practice, a stronger you on all levels, a deeper mind body connection. Union!
|
|
|
You are ready to Evolve
–
The eight limbs of yoga provide us a map for our journey – illuminating you and how you are in the world. It will reveal and accentuate patterns and show us a way back to ourselves. We observe ourselves through this lens and see what is working and what is not. As one student said ‘you will get access to parts of yourself you may not know'. All along the way we learn skills on how to live the life we desire, how to communicate those desires, and how to respond from a place of compassion, understanding, love.
The awareness opens a door, expands our consciousness. We evolve!
|
|
|
You are ready to Engage
–
The intimacy of the training, the vulnerability it encourages, creates bonds often uncommon in our everyday experience. The collective experience is powerful and enhances and enlivens the individual experience. Held in that space you feel empowered to be revealed in who you truly are. There your inherent qualities, which often lay hidden, rise naturally. The bond of the circle is awe inspiring! You come away awake, engaged with life!
|
|
So if your reason why is alive within you, if you are ready
to expand, to evolve, to engage,
to step beyond your fears and doubts and join me on this magnificent ride,
|
|
|
All offerings begin
January 10
- the dates, times, tuition and more is listed on website.
I am humbled and honored to provide these teaching. I know the world is in need of healing.
I am beginning with me. I invite you to join me.
