A Year of Peace ~ A journey to living peacefully through yogic practices and contemplation
Are you longing for peace……peace of mind and body, peace in your heart and soul, peace for your neighbor and peace for the world?
If so, you are invited to join me for A Year of Peace.
In our world today, finding peace takes effort. We can be so busy and absorbed in just living day to day we sometimes forget our own needs of Self-care. When this happens, stress, tension and anxiety can build up in our bodies and minds, leading to irritability, anger, frustration. But what if we slowed down the pace of life, took time for our Self to move and breath with simple awareness and peacefulness? How would it feel to bring greater peace with-in so that we can experience greater peace with-out? When we create peace in our own bodies and mind, the world around us becomes more peaceful.
With like-minded people, in a small, intimate setting, we will be exploring peace through mindful yoga movements, guided meditation and relaxation, sound healing through singing bowls and tuned pipes, journaling, and more in the beautiful, natural surroundings of the Healing Chapel in the Woods at the Conservancy in Franklin.
When: The first Wednesday of every month in 2021
Apr. 7, May 5, June 2, July 7, Aug. 4, Sept. 1, Oct. 6, Nov 3, and Dec. 1

Where: Reiman Healing Chapel in the Woods at the Conservancy for Healing and Heritage. Directions: Pull into the parking lot of the Ascension Medical Building at S. 74th and W. Rawson Avenue. Drive to the far end of the lot. Chapel is on the right.
