I'm rewinding from last week when I advised a reader to be pragmatic about work. I can't really remember ever being pragmatic, at least not for long, so I've written a correction. No need to have read last week's post — perhaps better if you didn't.

Take a break from booze (or any unhealthy habit!) and join a like minded community interested in the body and mind reset that comes from letting go of drinking for 30 days.
Each week you will:
~Enjoy a gentle yoga practice designed to bring you back in touch with the natural rhythms and sensations of your body
~Practice in a way that clarifies your intentions for health, family, and purpose
~Look deeply at how alcohol use does or does not fit into your personal vision moving forward
~Learn techniques from yoga to calm your nervous system without the need to ingest substances or engage in unhelpful habits
~Be supported on your path towards a healthier relationship with alcohol with structured group check-ins. Abstaining from alcohol is notoriously difficult to do alone!
We know that alcohol meets some of our needs, or else we wouldn't do it. That's good news because it means we can let go of self judgment. And we also know that ethyl alcohol is poison to our bodies and distances us from ourselves. Taking a break is alway beneficial, even if you decide that drinking is not problematic for you in the long run. If you are sober-curious or just want to take a break from consumption, please join us!
***You are welcome to use this series to be supported in taking a month off from any unhealthy behavior! ***

Blending the wisdom of Buddhism, the research of neuroscience, and the somatic practice of yoga, we’ll explore and practice ways to cultivate an internal sense of freedom. We’ll subvert the incessant clinging of the mind by dropping into the embodied present moment always available to us. Let’s practice deconditioning, repatterning, and creating new neural pathways. And we’ll PLAY, making new friends and delighting our senses in the flowing waters of the Yuba River. On our mats and out in nature, we will bring the experience we want to live into fruition, creating the ground and conditions for our own liberation.
