Tools for Trying Times

Tools for Trying Times

Overview

Come as you are & leave with tools to assist in growing your window of tolerance as a human living in unprecedented times.

Choose to show up with an intention as you enter the space, bring a yoga mat or cushion (something to sit on) a journal, water bottle, any items to support your sacred space and an open heart. We will open with some light hearted connection activities and brief shares to introduce ourselves & how we are each showing up.

Month to month we will explore different mindfulness practices, primarily guided meditation and breath work, that support intentional awareness of the present moment. We’ll close our time together by offering folks time to share, for those who wish, as we enjoy optional herbal tea. There will be a moment to send any excess energy & love to those in our direct and further communities, which may serve as a moment to receive this loving energy yourself.

No prior experience needed, children of ages who can receive instruction are welcome.

About your teacher:Emily (she/her) discovered meditation in the years following the pandemic as a tool to navigate the complexities of everyday life and the undeniable grief that exists alongside the glimmers. Her training includes trauma informed practice working with plant medicine support, through Cannabis and other plant spirits as well as through the power of the breath.

When not guiding meditation or breath, Emily helps support her family’s flower farm located in Coeymans Hollow, NY and also works at a Logistics company in Saratoga county. She loves exploring new lands and cities & spending hours getting lost in antique or vintage shops. Whether you join her for an online session, in person 1:1 or private group, or workshop/event, you’ll be guided with invitations for compassionate inquiry, steady presence and witnessing.
