Autumn
 

The November Winds are here.  I hope you're enjoyed this
spectacular Autumn. 
It feels like such a creative time, as our hemisphere transitions between growth and decay.  A time to turn inward.

I believe that we are all inherently creative beings,
just by merit of being human. 
Cheesy (what, me?) but true:
Don't dream your life - - live your dreams!

"You can make an empty shell [of yourself], but you cannot express nothing at all.  You can wait, delay, paralyze yourself, or reduce your creativity almost to nothing.  But you cannot abolish it."
- course in miracles (V.1.4.)


Looking forward to sharing bright times with you during these dark days. 

In Light, Lynn

Transformational Dance Journey 

with Christy RainboDawn Lindell 

Saturday December 10th
2:30 - 4:00pm 
 

Art House open house

You are invited through a transformational dance journey with Christy Lindell.(www.reflectionsholisticretreat.com)

We will be weaving meditation, yoga, Kundalini Dance tools, breathwork and compassionately guided dance into a journey through the chakras.  

This is a sacred offering of joy, transformation and playfulness.   

This is a ceremony to experience if you love to dance, to sweat your prayers, to celebrate, and to anchor into the fun and potency of dancing with other conscious dancers.

                                                          

                                                                     

 

With: Christy Rainbow Dawn Lindell, Transformational Bodywork Therapist, Yoga  

               Teacher, Kundalini Dance Facilitator     www.reflectionsholisticretreat.com

         

Where: MoonDance Art House: 1756 Wilmot Ave, ShawniganLakeVillage

 

When: December 10  at  2:30-4pm  (Please arrive 10 minutes early to register and settle in)

 

Cost: $25 pre-register, $30 at the door  (space is limited, so pre-registering is awesome)

 

Contact: reflectionsretreat@yahoo.ca , 250-737-1800  or MoonDance (250 743 5846; moondancearts@yahoo.ca) to register

 

Bring: your beautiful authentic self, yoga mat, water and journal if you want (extra mats available)

 

Details:  This is a gently guided dance journey with lots of space to freely dance with   

                your authentic inner guide.

                The music will be a collage of electronic and world sounds to 

                support our experience.

The Practice of Wonder
 
 
For the star-filled season:

Wonder is being open to the beauty and mysteries of life
It is our soul's appreciation for what is precious and inspiring.  When we look at the grandeur of nature, fully present to the moment, we can be deeply moved. 
We we live reflectively, we delight in the signs and wonders that appear in our lives.  We are alert to synchronicities that point us toward a decision or give us deeper insight into the truth. 
Wonder makes our lives wonder-ful!


Commitment

 

 

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious.  It is the Source of all true art and science."

   

- Albert Einstein 


 The practice of Wonder:

I take time to contemplate beauty.

I am inspired by life's mysteries.

I am present in the moment.

I am mindful of signs and wonders.

I appreciate life's synchronicities.

I believe life is meaningful. 

 

 

I am thankful for the gift of Wonder.
It amazes me..
