yoga & Meditation weekend

Let me take just a minute to let you know about my own expectation about the weekend getaway at Okaw Bluff in Sullivan, IL.  

I look back over the course of my life and it is certain that I find clarity & peace in nature.  At the age of 7, I adopted my meditation practice.  I would gather a PB&J sandwich, dog snacks for a sweet yellow lab called Bear Bear, and head out to the forest to see what I could find out in the world of the forest.  I wouldn't ever really get to far before I finally just stopped, closed my eyes, and simply listened.  In the midst of silence I found my intuition.  My inner voice.  

As I got older, I merged into society, which became louder than my inner voice, and I became a multi-tasker, which started to impair my cognitive skills.  Doing 2 or more things at once is not good for you.  Plus adding adding social media, blue-light from television, screens, light bulbs, etc.  Negative impacts of multi-tasking:

• attention disorders
• short- and long term memory,
• processing speed
• visual and auditory processing
• logic
• reasoning

Releasing multi-tasking and developing mindful awareness allows the brain to move to rest & focus.  When your brain & body feels a sense of clarity & peace you have the capacity to solve "issues" increase insight, allow your brain to assimilate information (instead of miss the details).  

MEDITATION IMPACTS

• Improve memory
• Sharpen Intellect
• Increase ability to respond to stress
• Process emotions such as grief, anger, & fear.  

community

In the midst of all my travels and adventures I have realized that life, healing, & all of the above is always much easier when you are in community.  Human beings are not meant to be forever solo and we are meant to collaborate, love, and build each other up.  
 
ASK FOR HELP WHEN YOU NEED IT!
GIVE HELP WHEN YOU CAN!
 
The yoga & meditation weekend is a donation based weekend, so all can attend regardless if one can not meet the financial means.  

KNOWLEDGE IS CURRENCY
It took me a long while to step into my worth and know my true offering in the world. Kaycie & I both have incredible tools to help community to heal, reset, inspire, break, unfold, manifest, get strong mentally & physically, adapt, change, evolve, and potentially soar into their best lives.
