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:
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 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.
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.
