September greetings to you all!
I love the quote pictured below that came to my inbox from my seminary, especially because it focuses on two ways of moving through life that I aspire to embody every day... that of keeping an open heart and finding ways to move through the world as an instrument of peace. I know many of you share these desires and have found that gentle yoga, practicing mindfulness and adopting assorted other contemplative practices such as chanting as well as being together in community, are beautiful pathways leading in this direction of open-hearted peacefulness. I look forward to journeying into Fall with those of you who can gather with us in the days ahead.
In the past I have posted many yoga videos on my channel, particularly for family and friends who live too far away to get to classes. And now I am experimenting with creating videos of just the centering meditations and poetry pieces that I read in class...like a yoga class minus the yoga (LOL) I am curious if any of you will use the videos for a "sacred pause" in the day or as an opener into your own home yoga practice? If you enjoy them and find them useful (I have done 2 so far) please give a thumbs up and leave me a comment on The Sacred Center YouTube channel and I will know to make more!
Please scroll down to find a picture of the September schedule that you can save to the photos on your phone for easy reference, bearing in mind that all outdoor classes are weather dependent. I welcome texts the morning of class if you have any questions about whether class is on or not. Also there are details below on Friday the 13th happenings.
Namaste,
Rev Shelley
