Our dear friend Ed is a healer, storyteller and Rinzai Zen Priest. One of his core practices is Kado, the Japanese art of flower arranging, focused on creating a harmonious connection between nature and humanity.
We have an art and poetry exhibit up in Rose Studio right now, and alongside the exhibit are some of Ed's arrangements.
Stop in during class hours. We'd love to see you!

Join Keera on Sunday from 6:30-7:45 pm for Yin & Deep Rest.

Yin is a therapeutic, slow-paced form of yoga where postures are held passively with the support of props for longer periods of time (1-10 minutes) to move into our connective tissue and activate sensation to release and open more deeply. Gentle and quiet ambient music to create a grounding atmosphere and support mindful presence.

✨
The poet's mind floats and dances on
the waves of life amidst the voices of
wind and water.
Now when the sun has set and the
darkened sky draws upon the sea
like drooping lashes upon a weary eye
it is time to take away his pen, and
let his thoughts sink into the bottom
of the deep amid the eternal secret of
that silence.

Excerpt from 'Fruit Gathering' by Tagore
