Rocking & Rhythm : Thai Massage for the Neck, Shoulder, & Spine

Saturday June 14, 2025 10:00am - 11:30am EDT

Potter Brothers

There’s a wealth of therapeutic potential in Thai massage’s moments of rocking and rhythm. A subtle and continuous rocking, soft jiggling, and slow shaking can greatly advance us in softening, and surrendering resistance. We’ll focus on the neck, shoulder, and spine to build our capacity to share healing touch that is fluid with pleasant pockets of tender intuition. No experience in Thai massage necessary, please come with a partner you want to give and receive with.

Yoga Nidra

Saturday June 14, 2025 4:00pm - 5:30pm EDT

Sensory Sanctuary

You will be gently guided into a state of conscious relaxation, moving beyond the physical realm into the subtler layers of consciousness. Through a series of guided visualizations and body scans, you will release tension, quiet the chatter of the mind, and access profound states of tranquility. Yoga Nidra helps to support you in entering a state of deep rest akin to that of deep sleep, yet remaining fully awake and aware. In this state of expanded awareness, you may explore insights, release stored emotions, or simply experience a profound sense of peace and well-being. Yoga Nidra is suitable for practitioners of all levels and can be particularly beneficial for those seeking stress relief, improved sleep, enhanced creativity, or a deeper connection to their inner wisdom.
