February Full Moon Women's Wellness Evening

The week of the full moon is a time to be receptive, to take the light and awareness of spirit into your emotional and physical body. It's a great time to support your release of the old and unnecessary through movement and reflection.  The February full moon is also sometimes referred to as the snow moon, and reflects what is most alive in the deep stillness that surrounds this time. While the seemingly endless cold can feel especially dreadful by this time of year, becoming attuned to smaller changes can brighten the spirit and act as a reminder that even the smallest shifts are gifts. The gift of the Snow Moon is that of stillness and introspection, and is a reminder that change is not always showy. It illuminates the gentle stirrings that often create the most meaningful shifts.

The evening will include:

• A candlelit yoga flow (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 rose pink latte*.

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.
