Come join us on the second Friday of the month at CommUNITY Yoga Space in Harrisburg for a “Pay What You Can” Offering for the community.

What to expect:

We’ll start the evening by setting an intention as we settle into the space. We’ll begin with some gentle breath work, followed by a relaxing journey of overtone-emitting instruments such as the gong, chimes, drums, rainsticks, rattles, and singing bowls. 

The sound immersion itself will be about 90 mins. We’ll leave time at the beginning and the end for sharing and processing. 

*Yoga mats, cushions, bolsters, and blankets will all be provided so you can be as comfortable as possible. We’ll also have chairs available for those who would prefer to sit. Feel free to write anything in a journal and bring a closed-top water bottle!

What can sound do?

By utilizing sound therapy with deep listening practices we can create an ideal entry point for a meditative experience and practice, particularly for anyone who has struggled to embrace more traditional forms of meditation. 

It can be extremely soothing and bring you into a very deep state of relaxation, but it can also provoke a wide range of experiences. When we create space to become our own witness sometimes we encounter unresolved challenges and sound therapy can assist in bringing some of this to the surface. 

You’ll be in a supportive and loving cocoon to hold space for whatever experiences come through.

This is a 90-minute class that supports the entirety of your being. Yin Yoga is a slow-paced and gentle style of yoga that works with very basic postures that increases mobility, stretches and lengthens deep connective tissues, hydrates the body’s extensive fascial network and invites the practitioner into a deeply meditative internal space.

All postures are floor-based and supports all levels of practitioners. Yin Yoga is a yogic form of acupuncture which focuses on the contraction and flexion of meridian pathways throughout the body to support the free flow of energy. This is done through holding postures for about 3-5 minutes.

Sound healing is offered throughout the 90-minute class by a certified sound therapist to assist with a deeper state of surrender. Sound healing is a wellness practice that uses sound vibrations to promote relaxation and healing. Sound vibrations can slow down brain waves, helping to shift energy frequency from lower to higher and has great potential to reduce stress, pain, and anxiety, and it may improve sleep and overall emotional health.

*Refunds or credits will not be available for these tickets if requested within 48 hours before the event.

Learn how to measure and mark wood, gain familiarity with the functions and operation of a drill and driver, and make cuts with a circular saw, a miter saw, and a jigsaw. In this introductory course, we’ll discuss settings, blades, and applications for each tool while exploring other common tools that will make your next build/home improvement project a breeze.

We'll cover each tool independently while also placing them in context by working together to build a bench from scratch for the Horn Farm Center. This experience will allow you to see power tools in action while getting a glimpse of carpentry design and fabrication. The completed bench will be placed along one of the Horn Farm's walking trails for future visitors and class participants to enjoy. 

By learning the basics of power tools, you can begin to take charge of home or garden improvement projects, address fixes with greater confidence, and live more sustainably through creatively reusing local and salvaged materials. Join us to affirm the joy and empowerment of working with the hands in a community setting--an antidote to our fast-paced culture of outsourced builds and disposable designs. 

Bring along any questions you might have that will inform current or upcoming projects.

What can sound do?

By utilizing sound therapy with deep listening practices we can create an ideal entry point for a meditative experience and practice, particularly for anyone who has struggled to embrace more traditional forms of meditation.

It can bring you into a deep state of relaxation, lowering stress, blood pressure, anxiety and aiding in sleep while calming the nervous system.

You’ll be in a supportive and loving cocoon to hold space for whatever experiences come through.

The sound immersion itself will be about 90 mins. We’ll leave time at the beginning and the end for sharing and processing.

What can sound do?

By utilizing sound therapy with deep listening practices we can create an ideal entry point for a meditative experience and practice, particularly for anyone who has struggled to embrace more traditional forms of meditation. 

It can be extremely soothing and bring you into a very deep state of relaxation, but it can also provoke a wide range of experiences. When we create space to become our own witness sometimes we encounter unresolved challenges and sound therapy can assist in bringing some of this to the surface. 

You’ll be in a supportive and loving cocoon to hold space for whatever experiences come through.

• Energy Exchange - Pay what you can offering. All donations go towards supporting CommUNITY Yoga Space in offering services to the community without financial burden <3

 This life, this journey, this daily grind can be SO COMPLICATED! We expend vast amounts of energy in our commutes, our food production, our technological maintenance, our kid’s activity schedules, etc.  With all these complex layers of energy surrounding our lives, there is an important place where simplicity and ease invite us to our human core - the primal flow. 

The “primal flow” is in all of us - it’s a space of timeless vitality that carries forth all of humanity on the currency of free-existing energy.

This primal flow really brings us back to the basics of life: the microscopic nitty gritty - the molecular level!  Basically, the tiniest bits of you are made of the elements - Earth, Air, Fire, Water (ether) - and those elements are made of even more basal energy - yin and yang, or the masculine principle and the feminine principle.  This primal flow is colored by streams of these tiny bits mixing and matching to generate the ebb and flow of energy in motion (e-motion) that carries you through your day, and ultimately, your whole life journey.  Balanced and clear primal currents create an easeful experience of ALL the color combinations that come through and at us!

The Moon is a great planetary mama that consistently and steadily cycles “through it all” without fail - all the elements, all the principles, and the combinations of them all!  She is a Grandmother reminding us “This too shall pass” and “It’s just a phase.”  The Moon influences our bodies and minds into a memory of simpler times held in balance with the beautiful complexity of the vast nature of existence around us.  We were never meant to carry the complexity, but maybe the complexity was meant to carry us.  

So, we’ll turn to the Moon and allow her to the light way, as we:

1. Move, walk, stretch, and dance through the phases of the moon around a circle
2. Experience the aforementioned mix & match of energy through rhythm & movement
3. Allow ourselves to meet the primal flow within through guided journey work
5. Soften the kinks and sharp turns of modern complexity that block integration of our primal flow through a Surrender Sound Bath
