Prepare for the transition into the winter season and the start of a new year in a supportive group setting.

While the holiday season is considered a time for celebration and cheer, it can also stir up feelings like loneliness, stress, or anxiety. What are tools and techniques we can use to navigate those feelings? How can we find ways to build community when the pandemic has changed the way that we are able to connect with one another? What does intention and goal setting look like when the future is feels so uncertain?

Join Belonging for INNER LANDSCAPES a virtual space created to center your joy, healing, and health and well-being needs. During this workshop we'll use techniques rooted in yoga and mindfulness to navigate the changing landscapes of the seasons, of everyday life, and of our shared reality due to COVID-19; begin the process of letting go of what we want to leave behind in 2020; and set intentions for the new year.

We gratefully acknowledge QPIRG Concordia for their financial support of this workshop.

This workshop will be provided in English and is for folks who identify as BIPOC.

While this workshop is virtual, we acknowledge that we are working on unceded Indigenous lands known as Tiohtià:ke. The Kanien’kehá:ka Nation is recognized as the custodians of the lands and waters now called Montreal. It is with respect, gratitude and responsibility toward current and past peoples Indigenous to this land that we are providing this workshop.
