The Art of Presence Workshop

Join Lori Bower, The Art of Presence: Sacred Practices for Caring for Self and Others, on Saturday, May 9 from 12- 4 p.m.

In this workshop, we will explore the art of being fully present with ourselves and with others.

Together, we will explore simple, accessible practices that help us ground, settle, and return to the present moment, allowing us to meet ourselves and others with greater steadiness, awareness, and authenticity.

This workshop will include:

– Breath practices to support regulation and awareness
– Gentle movement for self-care and for offering to others
– Restorative postures to invite rest, ease, and balance
– Practices to cultivate presence and compassion
– Practices of deep listening and attuned connection
– Thoughtful use of essential oils to support grounding and relaxation
Integration

For deep integration, we will close with a sound bath immersion and guided meditation, bringing the practices together through sound and awareness, and inviting a felt sense of presence, compassion, care, and love.

Participants will leave with simple, practical tools for self-care and for cultivating a calm, compassionate presence when supporting others.

These practices are not separate. As we learn to care for ourselves, we naturally deepen our capacity to be present with others.

Space is limited to 12 participants. Continuing education hours will be credited by Yoga Alliance.

Investment: $198
