Nourish Your Soul — A Full Moon Immersion
with Behnje Masson
Thursday April 30, 6-8pm

Join Behnje for this 2-hour restorative yoga experience designed to replenish, restore, and revitalize your whole being. Through gentle movement, supported postures, and healing breath, this immersion invites you to release what depletes you and receive what truly feeds you — body, mind, and spirit. This is not a class. This is an immersion — a chance to step out of the current of your daily life and into something deeper. To stop pouring out and finally rest, replenish, and renew.

Behnje will infuse the workshop with intentional focus and presence, aligning with the energy of the Full Moon and inviting the qualities of an Indian goddess who embodies and supports this moment.

All levels welcome.
Props Needed: Yoga Mat and a Blanket or two.

“A humanist karma doesn’t mean we aren’t made from the consequences of our actions. Rather, it means we are responsible parties when it comes to acting upon meaning, value, and accountability. The burdens of karma are not only what we receive from our actions, they redound to the necessity that comes when we are willing to bear their responsibility.”- Douglas Brooks
