Rest & Rekindle: A Movement & Meditation Experience
Redmond, WA | 3-5PM | $65
Winter is a season for slowing down, turning inward, and embracing rest.
Rather than resisting the darkness, we'll make space to appreciate what it offers: stillness, reflection, and the opportunity to reconnect with ourselves. And we'll also celebrate the light, finding joy in the things that make us feel alive and reconnecting with the parts of ourselves we want to nurture.
Through movement, meditation, and sound, we'll explore the balance of rest and renewal, honoring the season we're in while rekindling our own inner light
❋ Movement
Get out of your head and into your body with a mindful movement and mobility flow.
❋ Meditation/Sound Bath

❋ Creative Time
Find deep connection with yourself and the world around you with some focused creative time.
❋ Connection and Cookies
Cozy up with hot chocolate (or tea!) and cookies and have great chats with the other amazing people like yourself! And if you want, get a Pokémon card reading from my husband, Ryan!

Reiki (universal life force energy) is a Japanese energy healing technique designed to enhance the body's natural healing processes. Research has shown Reiki to reduce pain, stress, anxiety, depression, and more. As a practitioner I channel this universal life force energy through me to you. If you are not comfortable receiving Reiki, just let me know and I will not provide it for you.

Don't worry, you're not getting wet! A sound bath is basically meditation to/with sound. I use crystal singing bowls and my voice to create a gentle, soothing environment of sound to help your body relax and move into a healing state of being.
