Community Meditation & Workshop: Remembering Joy 🌸

# Community Meditation & Workshop: Remembering Joy 🌸

Join us for a gentle and experiential meditation workshop centered on the practice of remembering joy—creating space to reconnect with the small, meaningful moments of goodness, warmth, and aliveness that are already present in our lives.
In this gathering, we’ll slow down together and explore what it means to intentionally notice and cultivate joy—not as forcing ourselves to be positive or ignoring life’s difficulties, but as gently making room for moments of lightness, connection, gratitude, and ease.

Through gentle movement, meditation, reflective discussion, and a meaningful dyadic (partner) practice, you’ll have the opportunity to reconnect with yourself, notice what brings you a sense of aliveness, and explore how joy can become a resource we can return to—even during difficult seasons.
