Shadow Play graphic with a meditating silhouette beneath a tree against a colorful painted background

Join us for an unforgettable contemplative, ritual-based, embodied, playful exploration of the 5 Buddha Families, an ancient Buddhist Elemental teaching.

We will tap into the energies of Water, Fire, Earth, Air and Space to unearth our wisdom and see with clarity who we are. We will also explore our own shadow–our unacknowledged pain and emotional blind spots. Together we will release habits and patterns that no longer serving us personally or collectively. We’ll use ritual, contemplative practice, interplay, and other embodied somatic work.
