Description

Gentle yoga, sound bath, and flower ceremony for Black, Indigenous, and people of color to welcome the rejuvenating energy of Spring. Flower Ceremony To prepare ourselves for the renewing energy of Spring, we’ll each receive a flower and be guided through a short meditation in order to reflect on a lesson, victory, or area of growth that we’re thankful for. We’ll then create a flower altar to honor our “old” or past self and welcome our future self’s arrival. Gentle Yoga + Sound Bath Indulge in a rejuvenating yoga experience guided by Shakeelah Sutton, founder of the calm/cool collective. Using qualities of the four elements (earth, water, fire, and air), we'll use our breath to move stagnant winter energy, fluid movement to cleanse our bodies, and gentle strengthening to create energy needed to bloom into the season. Jess Gray, founder of Ascent Mind+Body Co. will then play a relaxing sound bath to help you release any emotional, mental or spiritual weight so you can be present and feel centered. Logistics: Our exact meeting location at Hains Point will be emailed prior to the event. If inclement weather is in the forecast, we'll relocate to an alternate venue in DC.
