Mindful Social Justice: Staying Connected Amidst the Overwhelm

Mindful Social Justice: Staying Connected Amidst the Overwhelm

A Weekend Workshop with Holistic Resistance: Facilitated by Aaron Johnson and Jennie Pearl; In Collaboration w/ All Bodies Rise Yoga & Yoga Oasis

Join us to talk about race, identity and human connection. With an emphasis on personal relationship, this weekend will give you an opportunity to explore how our thoughts about race and racism affect our individual selves and communities. Using small-group work and active listening exercises, as well as supportive yoga practices, participants will gain confidence embracing the unknown, unfamiliar and difficult issues in our lives such as race and racism.

This Workshop Aims to:

-Build relationships and closeness in our community around important questions such as: What breaks your heart about our current world? What gets in the way of showing up for racial justice? What hurts in looking at your own racism?

-Cultivate the wisdom in the room, and carry it into our communities.

-Shed a light on how people of color’s stories have had to survive white supremacy culture to just simply “be”.

-Utilize yoga as a centering tool.

ABRY's First Annual Yoga & Seva Retreat
Apr
19
to Apr 24

ABRY's First Annual Yoga & Seva Retreat

Join All Bodies Rise Yoga (ABRY) for our First Annual Yoga and Seva Retreat in Negril, Jamaica! ABRY is dedicated to body positivity, mental wellness, and social justice. Our yoga is gentle, intended to soothe your nervous system and release tension and stress. We want our retreat to be inclusive, and for you to come as you are. No prior yoga experience or expensive yoga pants necessary!

You'll spend 6 days and 5 nights at an intimate, 17 room cliff-side resort. Each open-air room has a private balcony that offers a beautiful view of the Caribbean Sea. Catch some sun on the 1,500 square feet of multi-level cliffside sun decks, or take the stairway to the sea for swimming, snorkeling and cliff diving. This retreat will embody rest, relaxation, and community service. A sanctuary to unwind and slow down, and an opportunity to offer *seva.

Between the beaches, breathtaking sunsets, amazing food and the vibrant Jamaican culture – as well as the spirit of the Jamaican people – you'll find yourself falling into step with the island of No Worries. You will enjoy the slow and easy vibes of Jamaica, practice yoga daily, swim in the calm waters of the Caribbean sea, dip in the pool any time you wish, and have the option of heading out for live music and nightlife.

This trip will include gentle, body-positive yoga, meditation and group council, a group snorkeling adventure, and an unforgettable day trip for service work in either Nine Mile or Kingston. You can also relax, read, and do absolutely nothing as well. This is your vacation, a unique, once in a lifetime experience, and a completely different kind of yoga retreat.

PAYMENT PLANS AVAILABLE!
