Class Details Please join us for this life-changing weekend of great remembrance, celebration, hilarity and heart-felt discovery, as we delve into the secrets of the Grand Canyon, finding there the resonance, and consonance of our own unique form. Through highly specific yogic practices, we will stretch and enliven the outer form, thus to gaze more potently inward, toward that inner shine. Then, with magnificent writing techniques, we will enter, with passionate listening, in the boats of our writing, the great silence: rowing into sound, words, messages and meaning. A note from your instructors: “As traveling teachers, we frequently fly across the country, and have come to love the wrinkles and lines that appear on the face of our beloved earth. The more crumpled, furrowed, twisted and craggy the earth’s surface, the less explored, cultivated, “improved” or used it is for a purpose other then that of its own intention. This makes us smile…and increases the happiness lines around our eyes! The great liberation we have found, as our own womanbeauty deepens with age, is the freedom to be exactly who we are, to live our own rhythm, to speak with our own voices.  And we are passionately exploring what that may be! This continent’s most impressive wrinkle is the deep chasm of the Grand Canyon. Yet the heart of this canyon, that influence that formed it, is unseen from the air, just as the force that has shaped our unique beauty lies patiently below the surface, knowing its own flow, cadence and direction. What would happen if, like Alice, we slipped though a great crevice of ourselves and fell into that mysterious current that has always been running…roaring, skipping, splashing, gurgling and giggling and weeping…contained…wild…risky…and serene? The Grand Canyon holds a key to who we truly are, and is the perfect sacred site for a pilgrimage of gratitude… to explore the mysterious beauty whose form we inhabit….“
