In association with Eve Ensler’s Broadway play, The Good Body | Love Your Tree ABC Carpet & Home New York, NY |
Goddess Ungirdled:
Finding the Sacred Feminine Within
Contemporary culture shames woman’s belly. But in myth, ritual, and sacred image, woman’s belly is a goddess. She personifies every woman’s power to promote creation.
In this workshop you’ll learn dynamic yoga moves and breathing patterns that connect you with the sacred wisdom and power concentrated in your body’s center.
As you honor and energize your belly with movement, breath, and compassionate awareness, you’ll experience the soul-power your belly shelters. You’ll make your own meeting with the sacred Source Energy that dwells within your body’s core.
Love Your Tree equips women and men to amplify their experience of Eve Ensler’s Broadway play The Good Body, which explores why women of all cultures and backgrounds feel compelled to change the way they look in order to be “good.”
Good Belly:
Owning Your Pro-Creative Power
“Shrink your stomach! Battle belly bulge!” The culture constantly urges us to “attack our abs.”
This is nothing new. For thousands of years, Western culture has attempted to control and exploit the pro-creative power concentrated within our body’s center. It’s no surprise that the belly is the focus of body shame for so many women and girls.
Yet we don’t have to cooperate with our own repression. We don’t have to agree with the culture’s devaluation. The good news is: We can reclaim our body’s power to promote creation as our own.
In this workshop you’ll learn to develop your pro-creative power with dynamic yoga moves, invigorating breathing exercises, and compassionate body awareness. As you do so, you’ll experience your belly as sacred, not shameful. You’ll come home to yourself, equipped to direct your pro-creative power according to intention.
