A seemingly silly question t hat could change your life. How connected are you to your body? Do you not ice your body when you are deep in thought\, grocery shopping\, walking do wn the street? Do you listen to the physical cues that can guide you to co nnection and soul understanding?\nLet us explore and delight in the connec tion our bodies offer\, while building a foundation of gratitude for the s imple ability to move. The first step toward liberation begins with a brav e step toward personal movement. Let's create a space for this step by bei ng vulnerable\, willing\, and present in our beautiful bodies.\n\n\n 8:30 pm Game night in the Pavilion\n\nSaturday\, July 13\n\n 8-9 am Registrat ion and catered hot breakfast\n 9:30 am–12 pm: Workshop - Julie Wolfrum \n\nBefore we are born\, our hearts beat and our bodies move. We don’t t hink or talk\, yet we fully communicate our needs and wants. Movement is a sacred form of communication that transcends words\, bypassing the mind t o break free from mental constraints and social pressures. The beauty is … we already dance\, we already move\, and we already possess the abilit y to utilize our sacred vessel—if we allow ourselves to do so.\nJoin us on a journey where we explore everyday yet powerful movements that are int rinsically woven into our daily lives and connect us to the revolutionary realization that our minds can only take us so far without our body's alli ance. We will delight in the simplicity of walking\, laugh at the joy of m oving our arms\, and create space for the discovery of soul connection by immersing our thoughts into our bodies and embracing the precious third el ement of being.\n\n\n 12:30 - 1:15 pm Bring your own picnic lunch\n 1:30 –3 pm “Unworkshops”- Consider offering an activity or skill.\n 3:1 5–5 pm Free Time\n 5-6 pm Social Hour - Lemonade\, iced tea\, or bring your own beverage.
