Deepen your delight in living more fully in tune with your body! Tia Rich, PhD, will guide gentle contemplative movements including simple self-massage practices and pleasant stretches focused on revitalizing the face, neck, shoulders, hands, and feet. Moment by moment, staying present with each sensation, this session offers the opportunity to fully experience life in your body. Explore the sensations of when the air becomes breath, water becomes moist skin, and sunlight and movement become warm hands and feet. Please bring a cup of water to drink, wear comfortable clothing for gentle movement, and have a quiet space cleared in which you can lie down as well as sit.
