Location

  • In-person:1910 14th Street NW,  3rd Floor, Washington, DC 20009

Facilitators- Travis M. Spencer MA.

Mindful Helper: Elicia Renee Wright


This Sunday's topic is a continuation of our exploration of our individual/collective dharma. In the vein of the cosmic FLOW concept that I introduced last month, we look deeply at "letting go of expectations and outcomes."
F.L.O.W.
  • Following your intuition.
  • Letting go of expectations and outcomes.
  • Owning your experience.
  • Welcoming growth edges.
During our time together we will participate in a heart-centered practice of listening and sharing with one another. We will continue our deep dive within. We will explore:
  • What does forgiveness look like in America?
During my dharma share, I will explore the following questions:
  • How does forgiveness support healing me as the descendant of slaves in America?
  • How does forgiveness support awakening to life?
Afterward, we welcome you to participate in Ruth King's Metta prayer for racial healing.

"It's not an easy journey, to get to a place where you forgive people. But it is such a powerful place because it frees you."- Tyler Perry

Attending In Person-
If you would like to come in person, you will need to register with the studio and submit proof of vaccination. You will also need to wear a mask. For everyone's safety and for the viability of this offering, these requirements are not negotiable. You can register through the Yoga District scheduling site, and you can submit proof of vaccination to yog...@yogadistrict.com or present it in person at the studio. We ask everyone to register and submit proof of vaccination ahead of time so that we don't have long delays when we all get together.
We also ask that you try to come 10 minutes early – around 6:50. This will give us time to check folks in and acclimate to what is still a new space and process for most of us. Please note that the class is held on the 3rd floor, up two flights of stairs. There are rugs, bolsters, and folding chairs for seating. Please also note that we will be staffing these events ourselves so there will be no one at the desk to admit latecomers. The doors will be closed and locked at 7:10 and no one will be admitted after that.
