Welcome!

In this class we will explore the root chakra. This is the energy of our foundation. Its strength determines the integrity of the other chakras. We need deep roots to grow the tall! The root chakra is about security, safety and support. We will use movement, breath and sound to explore this chakra.

This workshop will be focused on the sacral chakra. This energy center is focused on themes of creativity. It fosters energy flow of enjoyment, passion, emotional flow or lack there of. We will use movement, breath and sound to explore this chakra.

The solar plexus chakra,, is the third chakra, located in the upper abdomen (below the rib cage) and is associated with personal power, self-esteem, willpower, and confidence. Represented by the color yellow and the fire element, a balanced solar plexus brings confidence, purpose, and motivation, while imbalances lead to insecurity, low self-esteem, or control issues. We will use movement, breath and sound to explore this chakra.

The heart chakra, is the fourth energy center located in the center of the chest, acting as the bridge between lower physical and upper spiritual chakras. Associated with the color green and the element of air, it governs love, compassion, emotional balance, and relationships. A balanced heart chakra promotes deep inner peace and empathy, I often find my acupuncture clients have a lot of content to work with in this particular center. We have a way of allowing unprocessed emotions linger here.

The  third-eye chakra, is the sixth primary chakra located in the brain behind the eyebrow center, acting as the center of intuition, insight, and higher consciousness. Associated with the color indigo, it symbolizes the command center for wisdom, bridging the gap between dualities and connecting to the subconscious mind. This one allows us to see situations clearly, neutrally, objectively. I find this important as a parent of an LGBTQ youth, it helps me see the bigger picture and not get stuck.

The Crown Chakra is the seventh, highest energy center, located at the top of the head (or slightly above). It represents pure consciousness, spiritual connection, and unity, often symbolized by a thousand-petaled lotus and associated with violet or white light. Its purpose is to foster enlightenment and divine wisdom. I think as a parent in this climate, there is a lot of beautiful wisdom to glean from the journey! Mostly for me, it's to come back to love, always. We will use movement, breath a

Human are one of the most adaptive species in nature, able to overcome adversity and find creative solutions to problems, but unfortunately this doesn't not apply to all of us. Given the turbulence and change of our world, raising resourceful and resilient kids has never been more important, (This very much applies to our gender expansive kids!) How can we help them face challenges they can't change; with resilience, they will not merely endure these experiences but actually gain strength and co

How do we nurture our children and provide the necessary elements for growth? The more insight we have into what truly is needed, the more we naturally see ourselves as our children's answer.
