April New Moon Women's Wellness Evening

New moons are associated with new beginnings, as they denote the reset point of a new lunar cycle. The new moon is considered the most supportive moon phase for starting new projects, setting intentions, or otherwise bringing fresh energies into your life. This week is the perfect opportunity to unburden yourself from situations that have been draining your energy and start focusing on more important things. It's a time when your inner self is on the same page as your outer self, helping you define your feelings and act on those feelings with intention.

The evening will include:

• A candlelit gentle yoga (blocks and various options provided) to reap the benefits of movement for our bodies, minds, and souls.
• A guided meditation (yoga nidra) to nurture ourselves through deep rest and relaxation.
• Journaling and setting intentions around a bonfire (weather permitting) with soothing warm apple cider.

You will be lead by Amanda Sherer, a trained yoga teacher with years of experience teaching movement classes throughout the Madison area. The event will take place at the beautiful Schumacher Farm Park just north of Madison in Waunakee. The workshop will be in their climate-controlled building, the Center for Rural History, except for the bonfire which will be outdoors. Feel free to come early to wander the prairie trails and connect more with nature and the seasons.

Participants should bring their own yoga mat (if you don't have one, reach out as I may have one for you to borrow), water bottle, and any props (like a small pillow and/or blanket) to make yourself comfortable during the guided meditation.
