Our Resting Circle is an online gathering space for slowing down, breathing, grounding and softening into. It's a gentle space to build restorative, healing practices together in community. Sign up here for a free spot.
During our spaces we will be exploring the textures and rhythms of our breath and bodies. We may use somatic practices, self-reflection exercises, soothing touch, and self-compassion meditation practices to support us consciously decelerating.
We invite you to bring:
- Comfort and support: a photograph of a loved one or soothing object
- Reflection tools: a journal and pen
- Softness: blankets, cushions and wear something comfortable
- Fragrance: candles and incense
- Hydration: water or tea
Space guidelines:
- The session will run for approx 30-45mins, we will hold the space for 60mins to allow decompression, reflection and integration.
- Allow your eyes to rest by looking away from the screen - you don’t need to show attention by looking at the screen.
- Connecting to our bodies and breathe can sometimes surface feelings, and emotions. You may realise this type of grounding isn’t supportive for your needs. Please listen to what you need and pay attention to what feels good and safe in your body.
- Trust your pacing and feel into your capacity. You do not have to engage in any movements or reflections, you are welcome to sit and soften in silence.
- We may occasionally play gentle music in the background during movements or reflections.
- Letting go of fixing and striving for perfection: Imagine that nobody in the room needs fixing, including yourself.
- Kindness: Be kind to yourself, others, and our spaces.
- Honour the sacred: Some sensations, experiences and feelings can’t be spoken or shared. Savour those precious moments and let them rest within you.
- Please eat about 1hr/1hr 30mins before practice.
- We do not tolerate any BS behaviour. We have a zero-tolerance policy against discrimination, period. We welcome all bodies of culture and respect the diverse lived experience, nuances, and backgrounds of our community. There is no space for "-ists", "-isms", or "-phobias." We reserve the right to remove anyone from our space if they are causing harm in the space.
- Closed captioning will be available. If there are any access needs you'd like us to consider for future sessions let us know.
This is a free community space, if you resonate with our offering and feel drawn to support our work and balance the energies of giving and receiving you can donate to us here.
