We are guided by an ancient tradition of body, mind, and spirit focus that is essential to total health, life balance, and true peace. Last week we spoke about the magic that happens when we use hot stones during massage. The hot stones nourish the body, while deeply relaxing the mind and rejuvenating the spirit. This week we want to share another way to connect body, mind, spirit: Yoga Therapy Yoga Therapy Why? People are drowning in data, wisdom starved, sleep deprived, and tech ruled.This is taking a toll on body, mind, and spirit. Friends, we are not meant to live this way.

Light As A Feather by Stephanie
Have you ever noticed some of the greatest wisdom keepers, peace proponents and those who have endured excruciating circumstances often have an amazing sense of humor? They teach us to be light as a feather...so the winds of change carry us forward with ease rather than keep us stuck :) Last night at our manifestation meditation I was reminded of this concept---that while we may have lots going on in our life, and in the global community at large, it's vital to find ways to let go, laugh, and lighten up. More than ever the world needs us to be light... To help with this, I want to share a book I recently finished, Book of Joy by the Dalai Lama and Desmond Tutu. It was inspiring, enlightening, and a big time reminder to be light as a feather! I went from tears to laughter and everything in between. In truth, the words in this gift of a book brought me back to one of the teachings from Patanjali's 8 limbs of yoga that I aspire to experience, "a peace that passeth all understanding...bliss". I highly suggest reading this book. It now has a permanent place on my night table.  Manifestation Meditation
Tuesday, October 24, 2017 6:30PM - 8:00PM @ BWS with Stephanie Lately during my (Stephanie's) personal meditation practice I've been receiving wisdom that current times call for a strengthening of community in to keep our energy positive & clear to continue bringing more beauty and light into the world. On a personal level, positive & clear energy helps us birth our dreams into the world. Whether we are looking to manifest a divine love partnership, fulfilling career, more money, vibrant health, a home, or perhaps a sense of peace and purpose, we need support. We are always co-creating-- both with each other and with the divine. In this gathering Stephanie will lead you through a guided meditation & shamanic journey to help you manifest/bring forth that which you desire. You will receive an energetic boost so you continue to live from a place of high vibration energy. We will start promptly at 6:30PM with a reading to connect into the group energy and release any obstacles on our path. Following will be the meditation and journey.
