July 2nd through July 31st, 2025
(Zoom + Hybrid Options)  

In these challenging times, holding joy in our hearts can feel almost impossible — even wrong — while witnessing so much suffering around us. Yet it is precisely through cultivating a "both-and" attitude — embracing both awareness and lightness — that we raise the collective vibration and nurture resilience. Each week, we will water the seeds of joy within, even as we continue to do what we can to make a difference in the world outside.

​

Come for one, some, or all five sessions. Each week is a complete experience of its own, and together they build a powerful path of embodied insight.

     (Sessions will be recorded and recordings shared for you to review or catch up if you've missed it.)

​

Weekly Themes:
 

Week 1: Positivity in Adversity 
Discover how to remain open to possibilities amid struggle and build an inner reservoir of hope and strength.

 

Week 2: The Gifts from Forgiveness 
Explore how forgiving — both others and ourselves — frees the heart and opens space for joy to grow.
 

Week 3: Reviving Laughter and Playfulness
Reconnect with the healing power of laughter and play as essential tools for emotional renewal.

 

Week 4: Opening Our Hearts to Connection
Explore the power of authentic connection in nurturing joy and carrying us through difficult times.

​

Week 5: The Joy of Gratitude
Practice cultivating gratitude as a daily habit that unlocks deeper joy and appreciation.
