GRATITUDE
A day of yoga, sound healing, a nourishing lunch and ecstatic dance in nature. A reset to ground your body and open your heart before the fullness of the Thanksgiving holiday.
Not just saying thanks. Feeling it.
The holidays ask a lot of us. Full tables, full houses, full schedules, and family dynamics that can test even the most grounded among us. Gratitude is a one-day reset, four days before Thanksgiving, to come back into your body before you step into all of it.
Through breath and movement, sound and stillness, a shared Friendsgiving meal and joyful dance, we'll move beyond simply saying we're thankful and into actually feeling it. Think of it as energetic nourishment before the physical kind. No experience needed. Just come as you are.
