Calm in the Cluster
a workshop on political grief and anxiety
Thursdays
5:00–6:30 p.m.
Episcopal House of Prayer
on the campus of Saint John's University
The political situation of the United States is quite horrifying. We are inundated with information, traumatic stories, and brazen lawbreaking. It’s a lot. All of us are seeking ways to resist while maintaining some semblance of sanity and peace. Much of what we are feeling and experiencing these days is grief and anxiety. All of this affects our heads, hearts, and bodies. We need to acknowledge it and move it around.
Join me for a 90-minute workshop on political grief and anxiety. I will present you with questions for reflection; we will discuss what arises; I will guide you in some gentle yoga, breathing practices, and meditation. You do not need to bring a yoga mat; I would suggest clothes that are comfortable and not too restrictive.
You might want to bring a journal. We’ll begin our workshop with questions for reflection. If you want to jot down your thoughts, writing materials would, of course, be helpful. If you prefer to ponder the questions in your head, that’s grand.
Each workshop limited to 10 people.
If more than 10 register, I will create a waitlist in case of cancellations.
Pay-from-the-Heart Pricing
per workshop
$25
This is the sustainable price for my workshops. It covers the cost for preparing, creating, and facilitating each session. Paying this price sustains my work and allows me to make these workshops accessible to others who need them but are unable to pay full price.
$10
This is the minimum requested payment. Hard times happen, and I don't want to add financial stress on top of everything else that's going on. If you find help attending these workshops and need a bit of a break to do so, please pay this price.
You can pay with cash or a check (to Lauren L. Murphy).
Or Venmo: @heartforwardyoga
I will never ask you about the price you choose.
