Plant Wisdom Circle with Angelica and
Friday, November 6
6:00 – 8:30pm
$25~45, sliding scale

In this month's plant wisdom circle, we will work with the spirit of the Angelica, a profoundly spiritual plant who opens us to spiritual connection with the more-than-human world, the ancestors, and the angelic realms.

Angelica is an extremely protective and powerful plant, and I'm so excited to work with her together on this holy-day of Celestial Samhain (the astronomical mid-point of Autumn). You will have time to sit in silent meditation to connect with the spirit of Angelica and then bask in the sharing circle of all of Angelica's teachings for us.

Universe Somatic with Jogen
Sunday, November 1
1:00 – 3:00pm
$25~45, sliding scale

Universe Somatic is a practice that integrates and alternates sitting meditation, movement and the imaginal with a spirit of experimentation and playfulness. We open our bodies, spirits and minds, blending thoroughgoing embodiment and sky wide awareness with the juiciness of curious exploration. Seated periods of meditation emphasizing great openness alternate with a variety of movement explorations off the cushion. Through this we bring lively energy from presence into movement and from movement into presence. No prior meditation or movement experience required, a beginner’s mind is a boon!

Registration: Show up and pay at the door, no pre-registration needed.
