Radiance & Ritual

Radiance meaning: Vividly bright & shining. Marked by expression of love, confidence, and happiness.

Ritual meaning: A set of fixed actions performed regularly, especially as part of a ceremony.

This series was created to provide women the opportunity to heal, grow, and transform beyond our limitations (i.e. to get out of our way). To connect to our inner wisdom as well as connect with one another through the healing power of sisterhood. Each week we will gather to practice yoga, meditation, breathwork, ritual, journaling & more. The styles of yoga we will be practicing are Kundalini, Vinyasa, Yin & Restorative and this series is open to beginners and all-levels. The series will focus on a new theme each week, which will be centered around an exploration into the Chakra system of the body (energy centers).

Week 1: Roots - Grounding into Trust

Week 2: Flow - Cultivating a Creative & Playful Spirit

Week 3: Power - Igniting Inner Strength & Confidence

Week 4: Heart - Leaning into Love

Week 5: Intuition & Expression - Clarity of Vision & Speaking your Truth

Week 6: Expansion: Passion, Purpose & Fiercely taking action

The group setting allows us to create a safe & loving container for us to share and to be seen & heard in a sacred & loving space. The power of ritual and group practice transforms the individual and awakens the collective consciousness. The goal is to cultivate a stronger connection to inner wisdom, deeper connection to our fellow sisters, which will in turn help us strengthen and deepen our relationships in our daily lives. As we practice expressing our truth within our safe container it helps us clarify our vision, build the courage to set healthy boundaries, express ourselves authentically, and take action aligned with our purpose and passion. It is my goal to provide you with practical tools that you can practice during the series as well as take these tools with you when the series finishes so that you can continue on your path to awaken to your highest self.

During this series I will be offering a Kundalini Kriya Meditation that we will practice together every week and it will be suggested that you practice this meditation on your own daily for a minimum of 40-days (This meditation can be done in 3, 11, or 31 minutes) In the Kundalini yoga tradition it takes a minimum of 40 days to break any negative habits blocking you from expanding into your highest self.

Why is it called Radiance & Ritual?

Real and lasting radiance can only come from deep within... but unfortunately we live in a society that focuses on and obsesses about creating beauty and radiance externally. Real radiance can only come from cultivating a deep connection to your inner self i.e. your soul wisdom. The more we connect to this sacred space within ourselves the more we can quiet our ego and begin to live our highest truth & serve our highest good, and the brighter our soul light will shine! As the wise and lovely Marianne Williamson said "As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same."

Rituals bring us into the present moment and can create a sense of connection and calm. There are 2 reasons I chose to include Ritual in the title of this series. First, because many different cultures have been practicing rituals & ceremonies for thousands of years for a variety of different purposes and benefits. Women have gathered in ritual settings to connect, heal, create, empower, and support one another. The second reason is because a daily ritual eventually becomes a habit. Cultivating a daily spiritual practice that can turn into a habit and replace the habits that are no longer serving us. These healing practices gain traction through showing up; every. single. day. This is the tough part, but when we commit to a daily practice that is when we begin to see the transformation we are seeking to live more full and joyful lives.
