After feeling deeply frustrated by what is unfolding in Iran, I felt a strong need to do something and to be of support for those who need it.
Whenever I think of Iran, I think of the beautiful people, the ancient wisdom rooted in poetry, music and art, the incredible food, and all the colors.
With the help of amazing teachers, musicians, and a phenomenal Persian astrologer, we created a day filled with emotion, sharing, community, movement and music.
The energy was palpable from the moment we arrived at the studio. We opened with a grief ceremony, where those who wished were invited to put their emotions into words and prayer.
In the Moon Shala, people connected to their bodies through Pilates and breathwork, while the day continued with live music in Sun by four incredibly talented musicians.
Music became a bridge, transforming emotion into energy.
To close the day, I offered a nervous system regulation practice to guide us back into the body, anchoring us into the here and now.
Witnessing this event unfold was more powerful than I could have ever imagined. To see a gathering like this come into form, and to feel the impact it had on every person who joined us, was deeply moving.
This is what community is about, taking care of one another and allowing our humanness to take up space.
Thank you to the beautiful team who helped make this happen and to our sponsors who provided us with snacks and coconut water.
Thank you to everyone who arrived with open hearts, and for allowing us to hold you for a moment in time.
Please know that you are always welcome back to the studio whenever you need a reminder that you are never alone. 🤍
Love,
Julia
