PRIVATE GROUP EXPERIENCES
Gather your peeps to mark life transitions together
An opportunity to be together with your most intimate crew, to mark important threshold experiences that could range from birthdays to divorce to retirement to loss. We create sacred space in Shiné's fireplace room, out on the meetinghouse lawn, or a place of your choosing, and co-create a set of practices uniquely designed for the occasion. Past gatherings have included somatic techniques creating deep interconnectivity, hands-on TLC or collective laying on of hands, poetry you choose or I suggest, rituals meaningful to you or related to your ancestry or spiritual orientation; and/or crafting handmade gifts for the one who is crossing over the transition or funky, creative 'party favors' for the group to take home.
contribution: $250, plus materials and prep time compensation

SEASONAL BENEFIT CLASSES
*EveryBody welcome to drop in!*
bring friends and family
(...and a mat if you've got one - limited mats available)
For nearly a decade Shiné has held these popular community classes to raise awareness and funds (100% of proceeds!) for important social justice initiatives. We have supported: POWER, The Innocence Project, Alternatives to Violence, Ferguson Legal Defense Fund, Earth Quaker Action Team, Historic Fairhill Revitalization Project, Occupy Philly, Syrian Refugee Relief, PHL Laundry Support, and solar panels to lessen the carbon imprint of our own meetinghouse, to name a few.
*no pre-registration required*
AUTUMN: FALLING BACK INTO WISDOM WORKSHOP
A workshop designed to return us to our sanity, sense of community, and inner knowing, in the face of these challenging times.
Incorporating strategies that bypass the rational mind, we will tap into intuition, to return to our sense of trust in one another and in our own innate wisdom. Three elements will be cross-pollinated in these workshops:
-mindfulness techniques targeting breath, simple restorative poses, and visualizations
-Nervous system hacks from current neurobiological research
-Poems as spells: the musicality of poetic language to bypass the rational brain
*stay tuned for October dates and details*
ON-SITE OR OFF-SITE WORKSHOPS: 2-3 hours, full day
Offering one-time or periodic workshops on cultivating resiliency for private groups at the Meetinghouse or at your business, home, vacation spot, or house of faith. Each session provides a toolbox of user-friendly strategies for physical micro-interventions that help reduce stress and increase well-being:
-mindfulness practices that use simple seated poses and breath work to balance the nervous and endocrine systems
-sense-based meditations for holding our compass within the conditions of our world
-excerpts from Quaker mystics, with a chance for reflective writing and discussion
-practical skills from somatics to integrate body, mind, and spirit
This team-building work is ideal for medical professionals, social workers, chaplains, or anyone in the helping professions.
