Envision Through Divine Timing

With the fall season as a backdrop, you will reflect on what has changed and ripened, what is concluding, and what is beginning to take shape. The experience invites you to notice the present moment and to sense what may be unfolding over time, even amid constant demands to move fast. Guided conversation, insight practices, breathwork, and reflection introduce the image of the cosmic wheel, drawing on Hildegard von Bingen’s view of the human as both microcosm and macrocosm. This lens helps bring your inner life back into relationship with the wider world. The workshop welcomes anyone navigating a full, fast-moving life, including leaders, caregivers, decision-makers, creatives, and parents, as well as those seeking greater presence, steadiness, and discernment. It is especially supportive for people who feel stretched by pace and responsibility or are in a season of transition or change. Ancient Breathwork, a rhythmic approach rooted in long-standing traditions, increases oxygen and supports the body’s natural release processes. Through this practice, participants soften internal bracing that narrows perception, steady the nervous system so attention can settle, widen the ability to notice what is here now, reopen imagination, restore clear and integrated thinking, and support calm, grounded decisions. No prior breathwork experience is required. You will leave with practical insight and a felt understanding of how to slow a moment, notice what becomes visible, and trust the cadence of your life. Time is set aside for integration so you can give language to what the body noticed, gather what felt important, and carry a simple point of focus into the season ahead. Cost: $60.

The intention is to help participants reconnect with their bodies, calm the mind, ease physical tension, and make space for difficult emotions. The pace is slow and supportive, and no prior yoga experience or flexibility is needed. Movements can be adapted, rest is always welcome, and you are encouraged to participate in ways that feel right for you. Sharing your story is optional, with opportunities for quiet reflection and compassionate conversation available. Rather than trying to push grief away, the series emphasizes grounding, care, and moments of calm. Sessions are led by yoga teacher and meditation facilitator Anietie Antia-Obong and licensed clinical social worker Freda S. Thomas, LCSW-S, who specializes in grief support. Together they weave movement and mindfulness with therapeutic resources and community connection. Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy movement, and consider bringing items that support your comfort such as a yoga mat, water, a light layer, or personal props. Participants are encouraged to respect one another’s privacy. This program provides supportive practices and resources and is not a substitute for individualized medical or mental health care.

On select days, alternate workshops may replace the meditation and may have different pricing.
