Spring into Summer

May 6, 2022 / Community Engagement Action,Lifestyle Action,Taking Action / No Comments 1

Spring holds many beginnings and a wide berth for transition. Slowly heat builds Spring into Summer. We invite you similarly to grow your passions. Passions point to the heart and in Ayurveda passion is infused with heat. Feel willing to follow your curiosities early and share your processes openly. Take your interests to their point of impact.

We are currently encouraging you to connect with the earth, the soil, the plants in your surroundings. As such we suggest you bridge community by weaving your strengths and surplus with any local organizations that are also encouraging gardening education and community gardens. This could look like visiting your local community gardening, supporting a gardening business, learning something new about the plants in your neighborhood to share with your loved ones, or simply making a one-time or renewing donation. Here are a couple virtual visit options for your inspiration:

Please share with us your experience with all that is happening in your communities in the comments below. #gardens #communitygardens #ReadySteadyGo

A Walk Around the Block

April 14, 2022 / Individual Action,Lifestyle Action,Taking Action / No Comments 0

Take a walk through your neighborhood to engage your health, your heart, and our communities. For our physical bodies, walking stimulates the lymphatic system, supports our lung capacity, encourages the proper operation of our muscles and joints, along with many other benefits. For our minds, our movement and breathing outdoor air has the power to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. Emotionally and spiritually a relaxing stroll creates spaciousness for self reflection, development, and reconnection to gratitude.

Honor your senses through this walk. And let us know in the comments below:  

How were you able to cultivate presence for yourself through this experience?  

What did your senses gravitate towards today? What did you see? What did you smell? What did you listen to? 

What did you notice in your body? How was your balance? How was your breathing? How was your heart?

Did any one part of your body speak more loudly? 

How can you give attention, support, or praise to this part of your body?
