Workshops/Events

Women's Wisdom Circle

Sat February 15th, 2020
2:00 - 5:00 pm

Step away from your daily commitments and learn how to listen to your wise, intuitive side.

This workshop will start with a classical practice of asana and pranayama to ‘dis-identify’ from what Patanjali calls our ‘vrttis’ – busy thoughts that distract us from our Centre of Consciousness, the source of all wisdom. 

The last part of the workshop transitions to meditation, to stream the conscious with the superconscious, the dull with the Divine.

Trusting the wise woman within you will allow you to be adventurous, energetic, optimistic and achieve your dreams. 

Val’s many years of leading groups helps participants achieve insightful perspective totheir unique life journey. The power of shared dynamic encourages participants to identify that which is ready to emerge in their lives and to embrace it fully and without fear.
