Drishti of Joy - Yoga and Expressive Writing Mini Workshop - All Levels

Join Heidi Davis for a special vinyasa practice and expressive writing mini workshop called Drishti of Joy at the Marda Loop Studio on May Long Weekend. May 16 from 11:45-1:15pm


In the yoga philosophy, Drishti refers to the gaze or intention; a way of steadying and focusing attention. For the sake of our hearts and in the pursuit of joy, we will explore cultivating conscious gratitude and happiness by intentionally directing (and redirecting) attention to find joy hidden in unplain sight!


Drishti of Joy isn't about ignoring pain or pretending everything is perfect. It’s simply the practice of acknowledging that joy coexists with the rest of the human experience and we have agency over where we place our attention.


No experience necessary. Modifications will be offered, and practitioners are invited to arrive exactly as you are. Rest is welcome, stillness is also yoga. You belong here!

 

Investment: $50

Includes art supplies and a journal!

Ballet Beats Field Trip! Art Exhibit with our Elder Sylvia Ann Fox

Join Heidi and Kalyn at the opening of a new exhibit with Tall Feathers and Luminous Spaces called The Lost Children: a healing space. Some of you have met some of the artistic team from Tall Feathers if you came to our sweat in Willow Creek! Our beloved elder, Ann Fox will be part of the ceremony and this project. 3 other beautiful elders will also be opening the gallery. 

Join us Saturday May 16 at 1:30 pm at the Spanicarts Center, 131 6 Ave SW. The show will run from May 14 to June 14.  Meet us there or reach out to travel with us!

This project captures a specific artistic and healing hypothesis: that profound historical trauma resides not only in narrative memory but also in the sensory and somatic body of individuals and communities. Alberta Neuroscience is part of this team and will help guide the layout and pacing of the installation to support healing. The work brings together storytelling, shared wisdom, and the creation of a restorative space through the arts. 

As dancers, we know this to be true. Reach out with any questions and if you can’t make it on Saturday, we encourage you to go when you can!
