Seasonal Nourishment Circle

A 90-minute gathering of gentle movement, like-hearted community, and joyous CRAFTS!

Nest Yoga 3976 Piedmont Avenue, Oakland, CA

$30 Sliding scale

In the Celtic tradition, February 1st marks the seasonal festival Imbolc (a word that means “in the belly”).

It is a chance to celebrate that while our bodies are still nested in the dark cocoon of winter, it is becoming brighter around us every day, and new beginnings are starting to stir.

At this gathering, we’ll honor the poetry of the seasons through gentle movement, journaling, and weave our prayers into a simple, seasonal craft.

It’s going to be more fun than a basket of snow drops, let me tell you! 😉

ABOUT YOUR HOST, MARY LOFGREN

Hello! I’m Mary, and I’m so excited to dance, craft, and gather with you.

My specialty is creating rich, sensory experiences that help people to come home to a sense of their own beauty and wholeness.

As a facilitator, I bring 20+ years of professional experience in the embodied healing arts. I am a certified feminine embodiment coach, a certified teacher of Qoya Inspired Movement, and I’m the host of The Come To Your Senses Podcast. I’ve also been facilitating embodiment retreats around the globe for over 10 years.

I’d be delighted to meet you, and look forward to dancing together!

With love,

  • There is street parking on Piedmont Ave., as well as on the side streets nearby. There is also a CVS parking lot about a block away. Parking is free on Sundays, but Piedmont Ave can be busy, so be sure to arrive early to settle in with ease.

    You’ll see a sign for Nest Yoga. Open that door and walk down the short alley, and you’ll find the studio.

  • Please bring a yoga mat if you have one, and a journal and a pen. Wear something comfortable to move in.

  • Nope, all levels of experience are welcome.

  • Not really. It is based on themes of seasonal living which can be spiritual for some. We will talk about different nature-based traditions, but the event is not tied to any specific belief system.

  • No problem. The craft is simple enough for anyone to enjoy, and there is no way to do it wrong!

  • We ask that you reserve the full time for the circle so that everyone can settle into the shared experience together.

  • This is a one-time event and spots are limited, so we do not offer refunds.

Join us for 90-minutes of nourishment, and remember how it feels to move at the pace of presence
