Sanctuary Yoga welcomes Bec back to the studio for part 3 of her Intuitive Expressions Series:

Join us at the beautiful Sanctuary Yoga Studio for a playful and powerful journey into intuition, connection, and the art of silent communication. 

We’ll begin with a grounding Root Tea Ceremony to soften the edges, open the heart, and let authentic conversation flow.  From there, we’ll dive into mind-expanding games and telepathy challenges designed to stretch your perception and awaken your natural intuitive abilities.  Expect laughter, curiosity, and plenty of “how did you know that?” moments.  You’ll explore the power of the mind as a tool for communication beyond words while gently developing your clairaudient awareness.  We’ll close the evening with a creative art experience to integrate what you’ve discovered and express your inner world. 
This 2-hour workshop is open to anyone 18+.  Bring a partner, a friend, or someone you want to deepen connection with, or arrive solo and meet other open-minded souls on a similar wavelength.
To learn about Bec and her other offerings, check out her website: www.VibrationalTranscendance.com

For more information about the workshop email either Bec or Véronique.

Sanctuary Yoga welcomes the
Mindfulness Group of Southwest Michigan
This group is for Kalamazoo and neighboring communities.  It is intended for current practitioners or people who wish to learn about meditation.  Specifically, it is for those seeking to practice and explore in a community, or sangha, of like-minded individuals.
Our meditation meetings and practice are in the tradition of Zen Buddhist master Thích Nhất Hạnh's Order of Interbeing.  Lay practitioners facilitate these Mindfulness Meditation sessions.  Mindfulness meditation is a practice that involves focusing one's attention on the present moment.  By observing your thoughts, feelings, and sensations without judgment, you can develop greater awareness and learn to respond to experiences with clarity and calmness.

Instructions and guidance will be given each session.  Our regular meetings are from 90 minutes to 2 hours. 

Typically, the agenda for the meeting is:
  1. Introduction
  2. Twenty-minute silent meditation
  3. Ten-minute walking meditation
  4. A reading about the practice of mindfulness
  5. Dharma sharing - an opportunity to discuss the practice of meditation and mindfulness

V to edit above and below - specifically the description and schedule which is just copied from last workshop.
Join Véronique for four full days at beautiful GilChrist in Three Rivers, Michigan.

Days will be filled with gentle Yoga, plenty of quiet time and meaningful group conversations.  Walk the meandering paths and labyrinth alone or with fellow retreat goers.  I offer this opportunity to spend time with yourself and others in meditation and Yoga practice, in a truly unique place of quiet and natural beauty.  GilChrist offers cozy furnished cabins for overnight stay (highly recommended), though commuting is also an option.
