A Note of Intention for This Sunday's Winter Solstice At RitaHouse
STATEMENT OF INTENT
With the hustle and pressure of living in the city, and the constant stimuli of technology, it's become more and more clear that folks are feeling increasingly disconnected from themselves, each other, and the wider world.
The impact of this is more stress, less effective immune systems, and even depression. People look for solutions in apps, quick fixes, or the latest trend.
Now science is finding something we already intrinsically know; being in touch with our senses, each other, and a greater purpose
brings comfort and joy.
When we connect, our stress levels go down, our sense of balance returns, and we're able to participate more fully in our lives.
This is why Michael and I are doing this event. For us to center and expand, in community.
If we strip away the different modalities and techniques,
what Michael and I offer is the opportunity for folks to reconnect
with their essential humanity.
Our ability to feel, move, sense, breath helps us forge a path grounded in purpose. And, brings joy! woohoo.
Though drinking is perhaps the most popular way to bring people together.
And I do that too, but…….
What if we get together and did something else?
Perhaps even something sacred.
Find out.
