“Through the alchemy of mindfulness, meditation, and yoga, we create engaged, energetic and expansive moments for transformational healing for ourselves and others.”
Alyce + Lena

We can only meet those who sit before us at the depth we’ve met ourselves. When we inhabit our own minds, bodies and energy fields with expanded awareness, we enhance our own healing capacity while simultaneously deepening our work with clients.

As practitioners working with others, we can BE the alchemists of pain and suffering through our capacity to be present with the inner experience, skillfully choosing practices that shift and transmute energy, resulting in elevated psychological, emotional and spiritual health.

This workshop will be an experiential immersion where you’ll practice your own sacred self-care in order to learn the embodied practices that can be directly translated into work with clients.

The transformation begins with US as the conduit for healing.

YOU WILL LEARN

* How to cultivate an ethical, safe container for yourself and for your client(s)

* Mindful movement, poses, breath work, sound, and mudras to address stress, anxiety and depression with your clients right in the office

* Therapeutic applications of these philosophies and practices for various psychological imbalances

* Tenets from yogic philosophy, neuroscience, attachment, and Buddhist psychology

* Practices to set energetic boundaries for you

* Compassion-based practices (including scripts)

* Information on training’s and teachers for deeper intensive work with these modalities

* A day of sacred self care for YOU!

PLEASE NOTE: No yoga or meditation experience is required, and adaptations can be made with every activity. Everything can be done on the cushion, mat, or in a chair.

We believe that the alchemy of breath, movement, and presence allows each moment to be transformative. As we become conscious of our inner life made of thoughts, feelings and body sensations, we can embark on the healing journey of shifting maladaptive patterns that have kept us stuck. Through the integration of breath, movement, and presence, we elevate ourselves into our highest human potential.

We will provide mats and cushions but if you would like, please bring your own as well as anything you want to have with you that invites deepening energetic presence. This might include crystals, essential oils, and objects that are part of your meditation and yoga practice. And bring a journal for reflection and self inquiry.

Dress is casual and comfortable for ease of movement

Layering We strongly encourage you to bring layers and a light blanket. Being seated or lying down can cool the body, we will be inside in air conditioning, outside for lunch and practices weather permitting…and layers are always recommended at a workshop!

Please bring your own lunch that doesn’t require cooking/heating up. We will not be going off site for lunch as that time will be part of the workshop (think mindful eating + meditation practice of self inquiry).
