Experiencing Brain Fog or Fatigue? This workshop will give you simple yet impactful yoga therapy practices to provide clarity and energy.
Brain fog and fatigue can come on for a number of reasons whether it is stress, pain, or illness. What can we do to address these symptoms? It starts with the breath. The breath is what will bring oxygen to the brain and the body, so that you can think more clearly and feel more energized. The breath combined with slow conscious movement will facilitate better breathing and thus better oxygenation. Come experience how these simple yet impactful yoga therapy practices can help you.
Sonia Weirich meets individuals where they are and guides them to greater self-understanding and well-being. Together, through the transformational art of applied yoga, we deepen awareness and broaden the perspective of body, emotion, mind, and spirit.

With Dr Anna Margolina
Saturday, September 18, 9:30-12:30
Investment: $99

Women’s bodies encounter unique challenges, yet, women are taught not to speak about them. The truth is, your feminine body is a sacred gift, which has to be cherished, celebrated and maintained in radiant vitality and good energy.
Join us to discover how you can support your body, mind and spirit through all stages of life using ancient holistic practices of Sacred Feminine Vitality Qigong.
Based on Taoist Healing Love Qigong, which was developed by Taoist Masters in China over 5000 years ago and was originally taught only to Emperor’s queen and concubines, Sacred feminine Vitality Qigong is a gentle meditative practice for restoring energy flow in the body to return to vitality, vibrancy and confidence.
According to ancient teachings, feminine energy is the most powerful creative force and has tremendous healing power. However, it is easily blocked by shame, guilt and self-neglect.
Qi means “life force” and Gong means “work.” Feminine Vitality Qigong is a gentle meditative practice for working with your life force for healing, vitality and glow.
The workshop covers powerful and effective holistic practices developed specifically for women, which help support strong pelvic floor, activate circulation and enhance life force in the entire body through ovarian breathing, yoni eggs, as well as orbiting energy through the body to nourish vital organs, to replenish, recharge and rejuvenate feminine energy in the body.
In this 3 hour workshop, you will learn how to:
• Unleash energy flow through meditation, movement and mindful breathing
• Release and clear negative energy from shame, trauma and abuse
• Connect to your body through a loving smile
• Amplify your sacred feminine sexual energy
• Learn how to use Yoni eggs to retain strength, vibrancy and flow, even pre/post menopausal!
Please, note: We create a safe, respectful and welcoming environment for participants. Since it is a touchy topic, we use respectful language and do our best to take into account individual and cultural sensitivities. Participants will be fully clothed and all instructions which involve female reproductive organs will be purely theoretical.
We will do meditations and gentle graceful movements tailored to all abilities and every body.
Workshop will be held both indoors and outside on the grass so please dress warmly and for movement.
Dr. Anna Margolina, Ph.D, holds a Master’s in Medical Biophysics and a PhD in Biology from the Russian State medical University in Moscow. She is certified as a Universal Healing Tao and Healing Love Qigong Instructor by Grandmaster Mantak Chia in Thailand. She is also a hypnotherapist, Reiki Master and sacred feminine empowerment coach.

PROGRAM INFO:
Everything is Energy in motion…even those things that appear to be still. There is a vibration that permeates all things in nature, including the thoughts, feelings and emotions that course through us. When these streams of energy flowing through us are in harmony with nature, it is energy flowing at a high and beautiful frequency. When those thoughts and emotions are not in sync with nature’s balanced rhythms, we find ourselves Feeling out of sync. The stresses and fast pace of life can create anxiousness, fear, depression, fatigue and even physical illness, these are feelings NOT in harmony with nature and the body suffers when exposed to them long term.
As we gather in circle and ceremony, Dawn will then guide us through some gentle movement to allow the body to release stress and tension of the day. We will then come into a comfortable Savasana position (lying on a yoga mat) to receive the healing vibrations and sounds of the Tibetan Singing Bowls, Crystal Bowls, Giant Gong and various healing sound tools to open us up completely and penetrate our being at the deepest level.
Please bring a mask, yoga mat, water bottle, and anything that will make your experience more enjoyable, such as blanket, pillow, eye pillow, etc. Dress in cozy layers. (Not necessary to print eventbrite ticket, but please arrive early to get set up.)
About Dawn: As a yoga and meditation teacher, energy and sound healer, Dawn blends her love of teaching yoga with many years of studying alternative healing modalities. She guides clients and students to wake up their deeply rooted inner guidance system through Yoga, Reiki and Sound Healing. She has come to know that the body’s natural inclination is towards wellness, it is her passion to assist others in becoming aware of and removing the obstacles in the way of that movement. www.dakinihealing.com

Regarding COVID-19 precautions at Cedar Sanctuary, we take prevention measures very seriously and in addition to mandated or recommended safety measures, we’ve implemented additional precautions such as wall-mounted paper towels, motion-sensor soap dispensers, spray sanitizer/disinfectant at bathroom entry, and more. This program will be outdoors on a grassy area encircled within a majestic grove of trees.

PROGRAM INFO:
Marcela Lobos of The Four Winds Society first transmitted the seeds of the 13th Rite of the Munay-Ki or “the Rite of the Womb” when she shared it to over two hundred Women at the Omega Institute with the intent that it would continue to be passed on from Woman to Woman.
We come together as a Sacred Circle of Women, open to receive this rite as it was transmitted to me by my teacher, Julie Hannon, who received it directly from Marcela Lobos. This evening incorporates ceremony, transmission of rites, mantra, sacred offering, connecting and sharing. This will be an evening of healing, blessing, inspiration and hope.
Since the beginning of time, women have experienced deep pain and suffering related to the womb, passed down through the lineage of our Mothers, Grandmothers and beyond. Whether we have birthed children or not, the unhealed pain that remains in our wombs blocks our creativity and passion and in essence our ability to birth and create our full potential in life.
The Rite is intended to heal all women of the suffering they carry in their wombs as well as the collective womb of our planet. There is now a lineage of women who have freed themselves from this suffering and who will continue to share this healing around the world.
Please join us and take your place in the circle.

Constant mind chatter keeping you awake is no match for the healing experience of Yoga Nidra Restorative Meditation. An ancient practice, Yoga Nidra, is a guided meditative inquiry into the states of being, and what is beyond these states.
Nothing is expected of you, no need to be a meditator, bendy, or even fit. You’ll be guided into a resting position while suggestions and prompts guide your mind into relaxation.
What to bring: Please dress comfortably and bring anything that would be helpful while lying in Savasana on a yoga mat (yoga mat provided or bring your own, and you may want a bolster/pillow for knees/head or comfy blanket).

Potluck (Store-bought is aok!)
Amigas Group on Facebook
Amigas is a multicultural community of women who know that there is more that connects us than divides us. We connect to grow meaningful and enriching relationships, create a sense of belonging for everyone, and have fun together.
As we remember our strengths and reconnect with our vibrant selves and each other, we benefit both as individuals and the evolution of our planet as a whole. To quote female role model Mamma Gena, “The joy of life is not simply in serving oneself. The true joy of life is in being able to be a part of a larger community of service, taking one another higher.”
Amigas meets regularly at Cedar Sanctuary to surround each other with the support of sisterhood, community, connection, and inspiration. For more information contact Susan Creighton: susan333@live.com / 425.298.6428
