New Moon Restorative Yoga & Sound Ceremony

---

This workshop will include a 20-minute intention setting salt bowl ceremony where participants add herbs, crystals, flower petals, and their intentions into a bowl of epsom salt. Everyone will get a jar to take home to use in a bath or somewhere special to them. It will also include a relaxing 60-minute restorative practice where gentle sounds will be played on crystal bowls, rattles, tuning forks, drums, and a gong.  

During this Kids Yoga Workshop for 5-8 year olds, your children will learn some valuable mindfulness tools that they can carry into their everyday lives. Teaching children these tools while they are young will help them to navigate their worlds with more awareness of how to process their big feelings, through movement, quieting the mind, listening to stories, playing games, and breathing intentionally. We can't wait to share the gifts of yoga with your children! 

In the sacred men's circle, we sit together and drink cacao as we focus on an intention for the night. This can be simple (like "clarity" or "peace") or something more specific ("I'd like to learn how to better show up in my relationship" or "Why am I self-sabotaging in [insert aspect of your life here]."). Then we partake in a tobacco-based ceremonial plant medicine that helps us receive answers to our intention—or takes us in a totally different direction based on our inner need. Some choose to abstain from this medicine and instead hold space for others going through their process, which is a profound experience in and of itself. For those feeling called to share, we share our insights and learn from each other. Then we lay down for breath work, receive additional insight, and share again if we're called. We suggest comfy clothes and a water bottle. Other than that, just come up with a desire to show up for yourself. 

This workshop opens with a fire ritual followed by a gentle dynamic movement section to prepare the body for a relaxing 75-min sound ceremony. Gentle sounds will be played on crystal bowls, rattles, tuning forks, drums, and a gong.
