Event Description
We are creating a space for you to slow down, listen, let go, and soften into the present moment and yourself.
Starting off with gentle movement guided by Layla, and poetry woven in by Swan, you’ll be invited to feel, reflect, and simply be—right here, as you are.
Follow your breath through the different elements of this evening and with each step, sink more into stillness and acceptance, connecting with yourself, the moment, and the world around you.
