Workshops

This workshop centers the importance of rest and meditation, offering space for our most creative selves. Daydreams and dreams in deep rest provide a state of consciousness that holds a sweet spot for creativity and much more. In this experience, there will be a 30 minute Nidra surrounding the word, courage. Gentle inquiries like: "what makes you feel courageous?", will be offered. Following the Nidra, there will be a creative expression session where participants will be invited to capture their feelings, dreams, or insights on courage, from the Nidra. They can write, draw, or doodle - however they’d like to express themselves.

​

Alyssa is an educator and yoga Nidra facilitator. She was introduced to yoga Nidra during a full moon circle at Eaton DC in 2019. That experience of deep relaxation set the tone for providing herself and others with the restorative benefits of Nidra. She became a certified teacher and facilitator in May 2022.

 

She believes yoga Nidra is more than a rest practice, it's a portal to limitless paths of exploration. It integrates body, mind, and spirit to arrive at deeper levels of relaxation and inner awareness. Most importantly, reclaiming the rest we deserve. It's her desire for others to be replenished, to experience ourselves in ease through a restorative yoga practice. Alyssa's offering, Roots of Rest, centers QTPOC, BBIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ folks with the sleep and healing benefits of yoga Nidra.

Radiant Rhythms Ecstatic Dance is an interactive immersive experience where everyone is invited to free expression through dance and movement. The goal is to get out of your head and get in touch with your body, surrender and let go of judgment. In ecstatic dance, we co-create a safe space to be our authentic selves. The benefits of ecstatic dance include: relieve stress and tension, mindfulness and relaxation, somatic healing, exercise and play, being our most authentic selves, community and connection.
