Summer Workshop: Connecting to Your Heart ($40)

For many, summer is a time of emergence and connection with others, which requires a delicate balance between connecting with yourself and not over-extending your energy and boundaries. As we navigate the season, it becomes more important to consider how we can tend to our own hearts, needs, and desires.

It can be hard to come to stillness on our own, reflect on where we’re going, and clarify the small, simple steps that will get us there. At Dynamic Core, we've found that creating a sacred pause to circle up collectively offers the chance to connect to the energy that’s present each season in a way that supports living in more alignment with your self, your body, and your life. This is a powerful time to assess what’s working and what’s not within the rhythm and routines of your dynamic life.

The opportunity present is to call upon the power of summer so that we may listen to our hearts and honor what is ours to tend to and carry.

From this space, we can pause and connect with our heart, body, mind, and spirit. We then have a chance to move and tend to our energy as we reflect on what we need now and in the months ahead.

Join us on July 8 as we circle up together (virtually), where you can enjoy:

  • meditation and breathing practice,

  • A grounded movement practice,

  • An energy practice,

  • Visioning work for what you want to create,

  • Sacred witnessing,

And lots of love and support.

We want you to feel lightness, make room for laughter, and have space to breathe, even in the midst of all that's going on in the world.

This is an invitation for us to use the natural energies of the season to find a new way to care for ourselves - one that is deeply supportive and sustainable. We’ll hold space for your guidance to come in and show you how to move through the season in a way that truly serves you.

This workshop will take place online via a platform called Zoom. You'll need an electronic device to access the app, as well as a quiet space without interruptions to go through the workshop.

Note that if you can’t make it live, we still encourage you to sign up! We’ll have a recording available afterwards.

Spring Workshop: Exploring Emergence, Balance, and Change ($40)

Spring Workshop: Exploring Emergence, Balance, and Change ($40)

This year, our spring workshop takes place a few weeks after the Vernal Equinox on the eve of the first quarter moon — a potent time for balancing and illuminating the seeds of intentions for where we want to usher our energy and attention.

Spring is a time for change, holding both potential and paradox. As we explore the returning balance between light and dark, it serves as a reminder that balance is not a state of arrival. Instead, it is a series of micro-actions, micro-choices, and subtle shifts that accumulate in our bodies, our lives, our projects and activities.

The opportunity present is to work with the power of spring: to connect with our bodies, warming from within, to pause and reflect, and to look forward so that we can flow from a space of renewal. From there, we can clarify what we want to create for ourselves and nurture those intentions like seedlings.

With its energy of cleansing and initiation, the spring invites you to turn the seemingly mundane experiences of the everyday into sacred rituals, offering a sense of inspiration and excitement, and allowing you to flourish!

It can be challenging to do this on your own, and so we at Dynamic Core are really excited to support you in this!

Join us on April 7 as we circle up together (virtually), where you can enjoy:

  • meditation and breathing practice,

  • A grounded movement practice,

  • An energy practice,

  • Visioning work for what you want to create,

  • Sacred witnessing,

And lots of love and support.

We want you to awaken your desires, make room for newness, and let go of what's no longer needed so you can evolve.

This is an opportunity and invitation for us to do just that. We’ll hold space for your guidance to come in and show you how to move through the season in a way that truly serves you.

This workshop will take place online via a platform called Zoom. You'll need an electronic device to access the app, as well as a quiet space without interruptions to go through the workshop.

Note that if you can’t make it live, we still encourage you to sign up! We’ll have a recording available afterwards.

Savor the Fall: Caring for Our Selves + the Collective ($40)

Savor the Fall: Caring for Our Selves + the Collective ($40)

There comes a time in every cycle of seasons, of monthly moons, of the day, of a project, of a relationship, of a breath, of your life, when it is important to release, honor the chapter that has been, and feel into the next chapter that awaits.

The fall offers us the perfect opportunity to do just that. As the natural world pulls back and turns inward, we also have a chance to relish in a sacred pause: to organize and re-assess, to reflect on what has come before and plan for what might come next, to take a deep breath and savor what’s in front of us right in this moment.

In a society that urges us to go, go, go, it can feel challenging to pause. And yet, that push to keep driving forward cultivates anxious energy in ourselves and in the collective. It is important for us to care for ourselves (and, by extension, the collective) so we can preserve our energy, take clear and powerful action when called, and savor the good in this moment.

The opportunity present is to call upon the power of fall so that we may slow down and take it ALL in while it’s still in front of us. This present moment is precious and deserves recognition.

From this space of stillness and reflection, we can prioritize what will help us feel resourced in the months (and years) to come. We can assess our capacity and determine what boundaries are most supportive. We can identify what we need to say no to so that we can say yes to what really matters.

And this is precisely what we can explore together at this Dynamic Core workshop.

Join us on October 6 as we circle up together (virtually), and you can enjoy:

  • meditation and breathing practice,

  • A grounded movement practice,

  • An energy practice,

  • Visioning work for what you want to create,

  • Sacred witnessing,

And lots of love and support.

Even in this time, it is possible to feel deeply nourished and alive, to give and receive with every breath and in every moment. So much in life is fleeting, and it is a gift to taste, enjoy, see, feel, and breathe it in.

Savor the Fall is an invitation to use the natural energies of fall to honor our ancestors and all that has come before, while also creating space to dream up what we hope comes next. We'll hold space for your guidance to come in and show you how to move through the season in a way that truly serves and supports you.

This workshop will take place online via a platform called Zoom. You'll need an electronic device to access the app, as well as a quiet space without interruptions to go through the workshop.

Note that if you can’t make it live, we still encourage you to sign up! We’ll have a recording available afterwards.

Summer Emergence: Listening to Your Heart ($40)

Summer Emergence: Listening to Your Heart ($40)

For many, summer is a time of emergence and connection with others, and it feels particularly true this year. As things begin to open up, at least here in the United States, the summer signals a chance to reconnect with people you may not have seen in person for months or over a year. This can feel like quite a swing in the other direction, the polar opposite of what we’ve been experiencing for the last year: shifting from being inwards and physically distant, to gathering and feeling the energy of other people more closely than you have in a while.

As we continue to navigate the season and as we come into relationship with others and the outer world, it becomes more important to consider how we can tend to our own hearts, needs, and desires. It is natural to have a mix of feelings right now. Anger. Sadness. Grief. Joy. Contentment. Numbness. Protection. Hesitation. It is also natural to feel the feelings of a loved one, your community, or the world, carrying their emotions in your heart as your own.

It is important to remember that summer is a season of play, joy, and spontaneity, but also of slowing down, unplugging, and seeking shade.

The opportunity present is to call upon the power of summer so that we may listen to our hearts and honor what is ours to tend to and carry.

From this space, we can pause and connect with our heart, body, mind, and spirit. We then have a chance to move and tend to our energy as we reflect on what we need now and in the months ahead.

It can be challenging to do this on your own, and so we at Dynamic Core are really excited to support you in this!

Join us on July 16 as we circle up together (virtually), where you can enjoy:

  • meditation and breathing practice,

  • A grounded movement practice,

  • An energy practice,

  • Visioning work for what you want to create,

  • Sacred witnessing,

And lots of love and support.

We want you to feel lightness, make room for laughter, and have space to breathe, even in the midst of all that's going on in the world.

Summer Emergence is an invitation for us to use the natural energies of summer to find a new way to care for ourselves - one that is deeply supportive and sustainable. We’ll hold space for your guidance to come in and show you how to move through the season in a way that truly serves you.

Redefine Summer: Tending to Our Whole Selves ($40)

Redefine Summer: Tending to Our Whole Selves ($40)

Given the state of the world right now, it's easy to feel tender, raw, emotional, anxious, perhaps even triggered. As a collective, we are moving through a lot, and it can feel uncomfortable, causing us to hold tension in the body and overload our nervous system.

When we’re in this state, it is essential to move the body, to release that tension and anxious energy, to breathe deeply. Normally, summer is a wonderful time to experience this release in the body. It is a time to be outside, to soak up the sun, to alleviate fears and worries. Of course, this isn’t fully accessible to us right now, but we can still use the summer in a way that serves.

It is important to remember that summer is a season of slow and steady growth and expansion - it is not a quick overnight change. Every moment and movement matters, and it can be really, really simple.

The opportunity present is to call upon the power of summer, accessing play, creativity, and mothering energy so that we may tend to our whole selves as we navigate our current reality.

From this space, we can prune away what doesn't belong anymore to make space for the habits and resources that will. It means having greater awareness and responsibility from a space of openness rather than fear or worry.

It can be challenging to do this on your own, and so we at Dynamic Core are really excited to support you in this!

Join us on July 16 as we circle up together (virtually), where you can enjoy:

  • meditation and breathing practice,

  • A grounded movement practice,

  • An energy practice,

  • Visioning work for what you want to create,

  • Sacred witnessing,

And lots of love and support.

We want you to feel lightness, make room for laughter, and have space to breathe, even in the midst of all that's going on in the world.

Redefine Summer is an invitation for us to use the natural energies of summer to find a new way to care for ourselves - one that is deeply supportive and sustainable. We’ll hold space for your guidance to come in and show you how to move through the season in a way that truly serves you.

Grounding to Rise: Plant New Intentions for 2020 ($40)

We're in the midst of spring, and while it often comes with a burst of new energy, it also comes with its own challenges — and this year, they're magnified.

In the spring, we want to grow, start sending our energy outwards, and get going on new ideas, but if we are still moving through grief, fear, or anxiety or if we aren't firmly grounded and clear on our desires, it can quickly lead to feelings of overwhelm, overextending, or instability. As we step into the unknown each day, it can put us in reactive mode.

The opportunity present is to work with the power of spring: to go within, reflect on all we’ve been experiencing, and integrate it so that we can flow from a space of renewal. From there, we can feel into what we want to create for ourselves and how to bring that to life, even if the future is unknown or unclear.

This is crucial in knowing what really matters to you, what steps will help you grow, and how to plant new intentions with a sense of inspiration and excitement, allowing you to flourish!

It can be challenging to do this on your own, and so we at Dynamic Core are really excited to support you in this!

Join us on May 13 as we circle up together (virtually), where you can enjoy:

  • meditation and breathing practice,

  • A grounded movement practice,

  • An energy practice,

  • Visioning work for what you want to create,

  • Sacred witnessing,

And lots of love and support.

We want you to tap into your resilience, feel confident about the choices you’re making, know what it is you truly desire, and move with purpose towards that desire.

Grounding to Rise is an opportunity and invitation for us to find stability and then flow together. We’ll hold space for your guidance to come in and show you how to move through the season in a way that truly serves you.

This workshop will take place online via a platform called Zoom. You'll need an electronic device to access the app, as well as a quiet space without interruptions to go through the workshop.

Harnessing the Winter: Tuning Inward to Move Powerfully Through 2020 ($40)

We’re at the start of a new year (even a new decade!), and while it comes with the excitement of a fresh slate, it also comes with its own challenges, especially after the holiday season.

Society tells us to hit the ground running on our goals and go, go, go... but winter is the season for slowing down.

The opportunity present in this seeming conflict is to harness the power of winter, rather than resist it.

Perhaps now more than ever, it’s important to go within, to listen to your body and tune into your own energy, to feel into where you are right now before leaping into where you want to be.

This is crucial in knowing what aligned actions to take, where you want to put your energy, and what resources you have within and outside of yourself, and it is what provides a strong foundation for a powerful year!

It can be challenging to do this on your own, and so we at Dynamic Core are really excited to support you in this!

Join us on January 29 as we circle up together (virtually), where you can enjoy:

  • A meditation and breathing practice,

  • A grounded movement practice,

  • An energy practice,

  • Visioning work for what you want to create,

  • Sacred witnessing,

  • And lots of love and support.

We want you to feel confident about the choices you’re making, knowing what personally supports and nurtures you rather than draining or depleting you.

Harnessing the Winter is an opportunity and invitation for us to slow down together. We’ll hold space for your guidance to come in and show you how to move through the season in a way that truly serves you.

Dynamic Woman Circle: Gratitude ($25-$45)

Month 6: Gratitude

FRIDAY 11/1 | 7:45PM-9:45PM

As you navigate the shifts, openings, and challenges in life, it can be so easy to jump to a place of acknowledging all that you *still* want to do, or the *more* that you wish you had done, or being critical on yourself for what you *could* or *should* have done more of. This is a chance to feel a deep appreciation for yourself just as you are, right here, right now. Let’s explore this together.

ABOUT DYNAMIC WOMAN CIRCLE

The monthly Dynamic Woman Circle offers a space for you to connect with yourself, your body, and a community of women as we explore the depths of a specific theme, using a Pilates-based mindful movement practice and guided reflection. The Dynamic Woman Circle, which is complimentary for those in the Dynamic Woman Mastery program, is also open to special guests and the Dynamic Core Community.

It is not unusual to embody a state of scarcity and feel a bit wobbly in the embodiment of “I have enough.” In this work, it’s important to trust yourself, listen to what you need, and focus on your physical and energetic embodiment, rather than putting the focus solely on intellectually processing. Let’s explore this together.

You are a creative being. However you define creativity, you co-create your experience with life: envisioning things with your vision and intuition, making things with your hands through words, food, images, touch, creating the environment through design, your energy, mood, and physical movement.

Bring your energy to what creative expressions that make you feel most alive! Remember that you always have the power of choice to shift and change in the present moment, you can choose what you feel is best for you – choosing what revitalizes your energy and gives you nourishment + pleasure. Let’s explore this together.

Dynamic Woman Circle: Sensuality ($25-$45)

Month 3: Sensuality

FRIDAY 8/2 | 7:45PM-9:45PM

Often in today's world, we hear the focus on one's sensual experience being about physical touch, and sexual expression in relationship with another.

The truth is that all of life is foreplay. Your sensual experience is not just the warm up to sexual expression, or the appetizer opening up the appetite before the main event of the meal. When we allow ourselves to soften, and be more present - life can be the entire feast of the senses. Your sensuality is literally the experience of your senses, and to awaken sensually is to open up your awareness and receptivity of your senses. Let’s explore this together.

Month 2: Tending Time

FRIDAY 7/12 | 7:45PM-9:45PM

We have been taught that time is finite, that there is a beginning and end, and that we just need to learn to manage time better. But time is a continuum. While we may see cycles of life, seasons, hours, days, weeks, months, and years - time continues beyond what we perceive as the beginning and end of the cycles.

The truth is, time is relative and it comes from your experience: how you perceive it and allow yourself to feel it in your body and your whole self. Let’s explore this together.

Dynamic Woman Circle: Nourishment ($25-$45)

Month 1: Nourishment

FRIDAY 6/7 | 7:45PM-9:45PM

It is really easy in our modern world to go, go, go. To keep pushing harder, moving faster, and wanting more. And while it's important to keep growing and evolving, it's vital to do so from a place of deep nourishment.

To grow in a way that's sustainable and truly honoring, you must first learn to listen to your needs and provide for them. It's about being a good parent to yourself, and using that as your foundation for everything else. Nourishment goes beyond food, movement, rest - it includes grounding practices, connection with loved ones, time in nature, and allowing yourself to retain your energy rather than spending all your energy. Let’s explore this together.
