Thank you for your interest in our workshop! We are delighted to come together for an empowering time of conversation, coaching, gentle yoga, breath-work, and community around midlife joys, struggles, and resources. Through discussions and guided exercises we will examine the ROOTS of our motivations, the WEEDS that obscure our path, the SHOOTS of our new growth, and the BLOOMS of joy and contentment in our next chapter. Our focus will include:
- Exploring our core values
- Nourishing our bodies, minds & spirits
- Examining midlife struggles & what doesn’t serve us
- Shifting our mindset to move toward contentment
