Gentleness
Today has required gentleness in a multitude of unexpected ways. Gentleness with myself when my plans went awry. Gentleness with a dear friend who experienced a sudden loss of a beloved pet. Gentleness with children exploring the singing bowls I was sharing with them. Gentleness with the environment when it made an afternoon event chilly and windy. In each situation I was reminded that a gentle response is a conscious choice and that practicing gentleness with myself is the foundation for my ability to be gentle with others. The quote above emphasizes that gentleness is a strength that we wield with compassion. Gentleness benefits us as well as the world and the people around us.
I look forward to seeing you online at Saturday Morning Yoga this week to connect, listen to our bodies, and care for them with lovingkindness. I also invite you to attend Saturday’s Full Moon Sound Bath from 2-3 PM MT in person or virtually to soothe your body, mind and spirit in these turbulent times.
A reminder to all EDUCATORS, registration is open for the annual Mindfulness for Educators Retreat June 22-26 at Drala Mountain Center. My friend Andra Brill and I would be honored to have you join us for a restorative and rejuvenating experience. It is a wonderful opportunity to allow your cup to be refilled.
My friend Michelle Voeller of Natural Harmony Healing & Fellowship is offering wonderful seasonal women’s retreats in Carolina Beach, NC in June and September. I attended last fall and it was a lovely experience. If you are looking for a nurturing beach retreat, these are for you!
