Going With Rhythms of Life

Following the rhythms of life have been part of religion and spiritual practices throughout human history. But now we live in a world that constantly puts us on a schedule that does not match the rhythm of nature, the seasons, or even our own bodies. Let’s find ways to go with the rhythms of life to help us stay present, regulated, and emotionally and physically healthy.

We will also welcome new members in a New Member Ceremony.
