This workshop is for anyone looking to enjoy a Holiday Season without feeling bound by obligation or overwhelmed by “that which does not serve you.” Equal parts practical and philosophical, we will engage with a self-discovery process that allows you to clarify your own unique beliefs, values, and intentions and combine those intentions into a workable plan for the coming Holiday Season. Based in part on the workbook Unplug the Christmas Machine by Jo Robinson and Jean Coppock, we’ll weave in wisdom and insights from yoga philosophy and meditation techniques to help guide you into creating a celebration that is uniquely meaningful and memorable. This workshop is not specific to any single holiday or religious tradition–all are welcome!
