A Summer of Celebrations 🌞
This summer has felt like such a beautiful season of creating a deepening sense of belonging.
This summer we celebrated the beauty of community with a 60th birthday, a 20th Anniversary Gala for Yoga by the Sea, a wonderful community wedding, and the celebration of the recently established Yoga by the Sea Wellness Society, a non-profit umbrella for your community Yoga and Wellness center. You can read more about the society here: yogabythesea.ca/yoga-by-the-sea-wellness-society
Each Sunday @7 pm, we’ve also had the joy of gathering outdoors in a Heart Full circle behind the library for chanting, meditation, and simply being together in community. September 13th we will move back inside for the season.
I personally have spent moments with friends and family, on the water, in the forest, and around the Sunshine Coast. Reflecting on how so many of these beautiful close friends and chosen family first emerged through Yoga. Practitioners became friends, and friends became family. What a gift this has been to live and create a life here on the Sunshine Coast.
I’m also deeply moved by how much our Sunshine Coast community continues to grow and evolve through wellness and sacred offerings. There are so many inspirational and unique healing practices emerging all across the coast, sound journeys and temples, Kirtan, women’s and men’s circles, Reiki trainings, somatic movement practices, immersive Yoga trainings, Thai Massage trainings, embodied dance, energy healing with tuning forks, lots of meditation, Breathwork, a wide variety of retreats, festivals, ceremonies, spiritual gatherings, cacao rituals, Plant medicine, and so many other expressions of healing practices, the list goes on !!!
What feels especially wonderful is the collaboration that is happening. Rather than existing in separate little circles, we are beginning to see all these beautiful threads weaving together to create something much greater, a rich and diverse tapestry of community wellness healing and transformation here on the Sunshine Coast.
