Full Moon Circle with Moving Meditation

Our monthly full moon circle provides space to heal in community and with nature's rhythms. You will learn practices to soothe your nervous system and build resilience. Please participate from where you feel comfortable- a mat on the floor, lying in bed, sitting in a chair, wherever you can connect to yourself. 

Our 90 minutes together includes:  

-Moving meditation for all bodies 

-Journaling and reflection  

-Sharing and connection

This is a healing-centered time to release the hurt caused by a rough and beautiful world.

Class is pay what you want, no questions asked. 

We begin with grounding and orienting, a gentle warm up, and a quick overview, and then practice Nonlinear Movement. Though you are guided to move as your body needs, this is not an exercise class; practice from bed, a chair, or your mat!

Set to instrumental music and guided prompts, you:

move as you feel,

move to release,

move for pleasure,

and move to expand.

Followed by a period of rest followed and journaling, we then have time together- to connect, reflect, and question. Sessions end promptly so that you don't have to watch the clock. Your camera may be on or off.

All are welcome. This series is designed for people of all gender identities and expression who have felt the physical, mental, and emotional effects of systemic and interpersonal violence. Please join us if you are committed to building community alongside people of the global majority and learning in an LGBTQIA2S+ environment.  

What is nonlinear movement?

The foundational stages of healing trauma- feeling, processing, finding joy, and integrating- create the intuitive foundation for The Nonlinear Movement Method. Survivors' own natural intelligence guides them through gentle movement and self-exploration, empowering participants to release chronic pain, fatigue, and embedded patterns. Survivors embody the healing process as they move through physical, psychological, and emotional stuck points, fear, overwhelm, and past experiences toward expansion, freedom, and momentum through the felt sense. watch a quick intro- https://youtu.be/QP0oLk3gNY4

Use somatic movement as a natural, simple healing resource!
