🌿 TAISHIKI: Reclaim Your Rhythm 🌿

How would you feel about spending a lazy Sunday afternoon together?

We all want to slow down, create meaningful connections with ourselves and others...but how often do we actually create the time and space for quiet, stillness and connection?

Take a break from the hustle to remember we exist in a body, treat it with loving kindness through playful practices, and experience joy and knowing.

Together we’ll embark on a 1/2 day immersive journey to reconnect with your body’s wisdom through somatic practices, nature-based rituals, and gentle movement.

We weren’t meant to hustle endlessly, disconnect from our senses, or live in constant overwhelm.

We were meant to move with the seasons. To soften into presence. To feel alive in our bodies.

I created Taishiki for those who long to slow down, listen deeply, and return to the intelligence of the earth — and of themselves.

What you’ll experience:
✨ Guided somatic practices
✨ Embodied meditation
✨ Nature rituals that support nervous system regulation
✨ A supportive container of rest and reflection

📅 Sunday, August 10th
📍 Jericho Beach Park, Vancouver

This is for the seekers, the feelers, the ones craving a gentler rhythm.

If that’s you, I’d love to walk this path together.

Disconnection seems to be endemic in this digital world.
Disconnection from our community, other belief systems, other viewpoints, even our own bodies - ourselves

As our world grows more fractured, more divisive
you may be noticing the effects on your body, your nervous system

What if you could spend some time on a summer afternoon
in community relearning the sacred art of connection
with our bodies
the more than human world
with ourselves in nature - as part of nature?

Would you consider giving yourself this gift?
Would you allow yourself to slow down?
Connect
in presence, creativity, & play

Engage your parasympathetic nervous system
Become reacquainted with your edges
where your body and the universe meet
explore your sensory body
remember what it feels like
to be with your senses
fully immersed
and listen to the messages
become curious
to what they tell you
become fully aware and present

Fall in love with
your human form
and its connection to the wider universe

For a short time
be fully present
to where you are
what your body feels like
and the sensations that arise

Exist as bliss

Then take that into the wider community
share it
and watch magic happen

Each year around this time

a visitor comes to call

The presence of this tiny being

brings such joy

I say a quiet “hello”

making sure to leave space and water

to ensure a long stay

a heart broken wide open

by a fleeting friendship

You are not the mud

but the lotus

This is true

Without the mud

You could not become the lotus

This is also true

Our mud - the challenges and uncomfortable aspects of our life

Feed our growth….change…and blossoming

Into who we can become

Who we want to be

Can you view your “mud” with acceptance and gratitude?

For what it can nurture within you

Avalanche lilies are symbols of perseverance and resilience

Often among the first plants to emerge after winter’s snow melts in subalpine and alpine areas.

Almost as if magic…they push through the snow….often at the edge of receding snowfields

They can endure extreme and harsh conditions and still produce beautiful blooms

And only for a short time

What metaphors about their characteristics can you utilize to assist you on your mental health journey today?
