September Update

August 30, 2023 by ladyarlyn

Hello Dear Ones,

We hope you are well. September comes with tomatoes and peaches, and a noticing that the days are starting to shorten. What are you noticing in your world?

Coming up in October, Arlyn is happy to co-sponsor a workshop in Paonia with her movement mentor, Melissa Michaels, October 20 & 21st. Registration here. You can find out more about Melissa’s work here. We’re looking for a beautiful place for her to stay, if you have such a spot, please reply to this email and we can talk details.

 

Arlyn’s online Tuesday movement and life coaching practice launched last month. It’s good for helping support an evolutionary life as well as anchoring more goodness into the body. More info here (and look below for a coupon code), she hopes to see you there as it’s an ongoing group where drop-ins are welcome. People are reporting more mind/body connection as well as experiencing shifts in old stuck places.

 

We have lots of live music offerings for you in September, we hope you’ll partake! See below for the list.
And our kid’s music class series starts the first week in September. Please register.

all the best,
Arlyn and David

And what is the natural way of things? ~Adyashanti

Start here,
pay attention.
Pay attention to the natural way of things.
Watch the clouds moving across the sky,
The way water flows around things
or the way a group of deer keep watch over one another.
Watch also the rise and fall of your own breath
and how connected it is to every sense organ.
And how your insides are connected to what appears outside
and how what is outside is connected to everything inside.
