An Outdoor Well Being Gathering with Charnae

This is a Moment for You to Experience: 

• A calming breathwork and mindfulness practice to help you reconnect with your breath and body.

• Nature-inspired reflection activities

• Guided journaling practice focused on exploring who you are when you are not working and exploring what it means for you to tend to your “inner garden."

• Spaciousness to slow down and connect with others over light refreshments in a welcoming and supportive environment

Throughout the afternoon, we'll also explore what it means to reimagine our relationship with work, productivity, and success. You’ll be invited to engage your senses through nature, meaningful conversation, and moments of quiet that allow you to simply be without needing to perform, produce, or prove anything.

You Will Leave Feeling:

• Calmer, grounded, and lighter

• More connected to yourself and your needs

• Inspired by the lessons that nature offers

• Encouraged to embrace moving at a SLOWER pace

As part of our time together, guests will be invited to enjoy light refreshments and beverages throughout the gathering including a seasonal spread of fresh fruit, vegetables with hummus, pasta salad, crackers and cheese, and a homemade pound cake to enjoy.

This restorative experience is open to all and no previous experience with breathwork, mindfulness, or journaling is required.

Sliding Scale Pricing: 

•  To help make this gathering accessible to more members of our community, this event is offered using a community sliding scale. A sliding scale allows participants to choose a ticket price that best reflects their current financial capacity. Slower Pace Embrace utilizes this approach to support with providing equitable access to our services. We invite you to choose the rate that meets you where you are and feels right, doable and accessible to you in this moment. Each ticket offers the same experience.

• While this event is offered on a community sliding scale, no one will be turned away for lack of funds. If the ticket prices still feel out of reach for you at this time, please feel welcome to reach out. If this applies to you, feel free to reach out to charnae@slowerpaceembrace.com and we’ll do our best to support your participation. 

Space for this gathering is intentionally limited to create a more intimate experience. Reserve your spot and join us for this meaningful pause.

‍ ‍What is the difference between Qigong and Tai Chi?

Qigong and Tai Chi are both ancient Chinese practices that use slow movements, breathing, and focus to help the body and mind

Qigong focuses strictly on health, healing, and building vital energy (Qi). Tai Chi is an internal martial art that uses those same energy ideas for self-defense, though it is mostly practiced today for health.
