 Friday, June 20, 2025 is the first day of summer and the solstice!
It's the longest day of the year and a wonderful time to reflect and engage in rituals. One of the things I love to do is a reflection & renewal ritual. Here's what it entails: 1. I create a sacred space - usually on the beach or somewhere outside where I can light a fire or candle. I bring with me a journal, crystals, and any other sacred object/ photo that I am drawn to. 2. Next, I take a few moments to breathe and ground myself, connect with mother earth, and thank her for holding us in her space for healing. 3. I begin with a short meditation focused on my intentions for the next few months. Examples of intentions include: slowing down to enjoy the warmer days, having fun enriching experiences, creating a high vibe community, staying present, welcoming uncertainty, letting go of the old...etc. 4. As I meditate I visualize AND feel my intentions in my body. Embodiment is key to manifestation. 5. Once meditation is complete I close with a prayer for continued healing for humanity. I also express gratitude for my life, and the gifts of love, abundance, peace, compassion, forgiveness, mercy, joy...all of it. 6. To end I love dancing around and allowing my body to flow. If I am in community I will invite sharing and connecting. Many blessings to you, Stephanie  Valentine's Day is Friday, 2/14/25.
It's one of our favorite occasions here at the Sanctuary. Why? We love to love & Valentine's Day is a reminder of why we are here. Taking care of our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual self is an act of self-love that keeps on giving. From our own self-love, all other love grows. In fact, the ability to nourish ourselves first, enables us to effectively (aka without resentment) nourish others.

When: Saturday, December 7, 2024 @11:00AM-1:00PM EST LIVE via ZOOM This workshop will go deeper into some of the concepts (ego, suffering, pain body, karma, manifestation) introduced in the Living in Now Workshop, based on the teachings of Eckhart Tolle. Note, you may still attend this workshop even if you didn't attend the previous one. Why: As humans, we are driven by emotion. In fact, emotion is one of the most beautiful aspects of being "human". However, when we make choices purely out of emotion, we can end up creating more suffering and drama than intended. This workshop is designed to help you learn how to deal with emotions skillfully using the tools of presence and conscious awareness. What to Expect: 2 hour LIVE & interactive workshop via ZOOM. This workshop will be recorded - if you can't join LIVE, you will still receive the recording when you register. Topics to be discussed: -What is ego and how is it connected to human dysfunction? -How does the ego create suffering by keeping us attached/identified/separate? -What are the many faces / roles of ego and how do we navigate them skillfully? -What is emotion and why does it have so much power over our behavior? -What is the connection of emotion and ego? -What is the pain body and how does it relate to our emotion? -How does the pain body create unnecessary suffering for ourselves and others? -How do we recognize the pain body and deal with it? -What are the ways we can break free from the pain body?

When: Saturday, November 2, 2024 from 11:00AM-1:00PM EST LIVE, Via Zoom Why: I had the pleasure of spending 6 days in Greece last week studying with Eckhart Tolle (Spiritual teacher and author of Power of Now, to name a few). The entire week was dedicated to the practice of being present: living in the now, elevating & expanding our conscious awareness, entering deep stillness, and ultimately learning how to navigate challenging times. Challenging times give us an opportunity to deepen into the present moment. As we do, we can enter the space of joy, freedom, and peace. Eckhart is one of the very few teachers I truly admire because he is a living example of what it means to balance the human (physical/mental/emotional aspects) and the being (our essence/spiritual dimension). What to Expect: 2 hour LIVE & interactive workshop via Zoom to share some of these practical & life changing teachings. Workshop will be recorded for you to listen to again as needed! Topics to be discussed: -What is presence? How do we access it? How can being present support us? -Everyday activities as the perfect portal to access wisdom and experience the power of now. -Practice how shifting awareness frees us from inner turmoil, anxiety, and unnecessary suffering. -Learn approaches to quiet the noisy mind and become responsive instead of reactive. -Cultivate deeper connection with yourself and those around you.
