In the Northern Hemisphere, December is the perfect Polarity Being the Light in the Dark is very important at this time of year. And seeing the Light and the Dark in the same light is a gift.
It brings to us the Yule Moon or the Long Night Moon The Darkest and Brightest longest nights of the Year Feelings of Hibernation and Introversion Deep Contemplation, Reflection and Introspection. As well as precious moments with Family, friends and community connection Giving and Receiving. The indwelling Hearth and Home.
We will be hosting a meditation on November 11, remembrance day at 10:30 AM, for peace and to honour this day in a different way.
Sit in meditation and community with the intention of cultivating inner peace and outer peace while raising the vibration with a common focus. Please come along if this calls to you.
We will be sitting for 30-45 minutes. There will be a short, guided introduction, then silence until the gong at the end. Feel free to practice any method, and position your body in any way comfortable. Bring your own cushion or bench. We will also have chairs and other props available.

Each Month we will bring attention to a Chakra ( Energy Center) that correlates to a Nerve Plexus along the main Energy and Nerve channel, the Shushumna or Spinal column. To cultivate and know Balance, Integration, Harmony and Bliss. As with Intentions, it is planting a Seed, what you want in the end must be present in the beginning.
This month we begin with the Root Chakra located at the base of the Spine.
This center is about Groundedness, foundation and security. It reflects the relationship we have to our survival, shelter, food, water, sleep, sustenance, and money.
How do we tend to our Home, the one we embody and the shelter we live in?

How to return balance?
Scan through your relationships to survival, shelter, food, water, sleep, sustenance, and money, and pick one area that you would like to focus on this month to bring a greater sense of balance and integration.
Maybe placing some attention and give some love to the home, healthy nourishment, sleep patterns, exercise, or finances.

YBTS is welcoming Sarah Jacobs ( Acupuncture), Maria Hampvent ( Coaching and Leadership), Jena Eros (Ortho Bionomy), Stefanie Satomi Sakata ( Acupuncture and Community Acupuncture), who will be expanding their practices here on 15th September.

Some of the times of the classes will change to accommodate the shift and the expanding Fall Schedule. The turnover between classes will be shorter. So we ask for quiet between classes, coming and going. Please enjoy your connections outside before or after class. We appreciate your patience as we navigate this important transition.
