Gratefully Rooted

Local-ish Retreat!!

An extended weekend in the early days of autumn with a group of women saying YES to slowing down, growing quiet, and restoring in connection.

I know, it’s not even summer yet but payment plans are so reasonable if you start now.

“.. interpretation is the preferred escape from immediacy.” - Bruce Tift

Very rarely are we simply experiencing reality in a direct way.

What we experience is filtered through our senses, emotions, thoughts, and feelings.

And what we perceive is heavily influenced by our preferences, our worldview, our past & our conditioning, and our environment.

And then we almost immediately make interpretations about what we are experiencing.

It happens so naturally that we get tricked into believing our stories over the truth of our immediate experience.

The practices of yoga help to cleanse the lens of perception & widen our scope.

We practice creating an atmosphere of openness, a non-judgmental awareness, & returning to the immediacy of what’s actually going on in the present.

We practice a greater awareness of our proclivity for inner commentary and kindness when we catch it.

We practice simply experiencing without interpretation, and in this modern world of over-thinking, ego-identification, assumptions, and widespread division, it’s freeing.

And in that state of freedom, we make more unencumbered, impactful, & authentic choices in how we engage & participate with what we experience.

this week Wednesday, Thursday, & Sunday 💚✨🙏
