Springtime brings a shift and shove of new energy: renewal, purpose, inspiration, and drive! Interestingly, the emotion traditionally associated with spring is anger. If we imagine feisty buds and stalks pushing their mighty way from the dark ground toward sunlight, we may extrapolate from this metaphor that healthy force—processed with intention and curiosity—can help us move forward in alignment with our true purpose. This workshop is an opportunity to explore our notions of purpose through expressive writing prompts, gentle (mostly yin) postures, and select readings. A space to sit with the present moment and consider the core beliefs that exist under the surface of our decisions, what our social or cultural environments deem purposeful, and how we may wish to redefine our idea of purpose. In this context, we will ask: how do we most wish to show up for ourselves and others this season?
