The Yoga of Dreams
​A Workshop with Dreamworker and Yoga Teacher: Tzivia Gover
Sunday, September 29, 2024
Munson Library
2:00-4:00 PM
​
According to Yogic sages, joy is the center of our being. In this workshop, we will draw on yogic philosophy and mindfulness practices to engage with our subconscious minds, especially our nighttime dreams, for insight, healing, and to help us move through emotional blocks and connect with the joy and bliss at the center of our beings.
Information on dream recall and other skills for becoming an active dreamer will be shared. Activities include guided meditations, breathing exercises, and journal prompts that align with yogic philosophy.
​
All are welcome, whether you practice yoga or not, and whether you remember your dreams or not.
Note that this is not an asana workshop, so we will not be practicing yoga poses.​​​​

Holistic Health and Wellness Coaching
​Experience the Benefits of Support
​
Have you ever struggled with knowing what you ought to do to enhance your health,
while not knowing how to create those changes that could make a difference long-
term? Maybe your health care provider has cited the need for dietary changes or
new habits for sleeping better, reducing stress, or refining exercise patterns, with
out giving you much guidance about how to implement those recommendations?
Maybe you simply know that you want to feel better but don’t know where to start?
That’s the space where a health coach can help. Health coaching has the potential to
benefit anyone who is ready and willing to make positive lifestyle shifts.
​
A health and wellness coach supports each person in their efforts to create lasting
changes for improved emotional, mental, physical or spiritual health and well-being.
A health coach can assist you in clarifying your vision for health and support you in
setting and achieving goals that are relevant for your unique needs and feasible for
you to implement. Active listening, relevant information, encouragement, skills
development and accountability are some of the hallmarks of health coaching.
Through at least the month of September, I am offering coaching sessions, of roughly
30 minutes per session, on a free, donation-basis. The intake process for each
person will include a brief telephone consult prior to the start of coaching to verify
that it is appropriate for you at this time, a coaching agreement document for you to
sign, and a questionnaire for you to complete.

Nature Walks
"There is nothing like nature to bring you back to yourself."
-Mark Coleman
There is much evidence that spending time outdoors in nature offers emotional, mental health and physical benefits. Sharing this time and place walking with others has a positive impact on our health.
Mark Coleman, author of Awake in the Wild: Mindfulness in Nature says, "There is nothing like nature to bring you back to your self and connect you to your senses."
The Pioneer Valley has a unique geology and history that has provided inspiration for artists, poets, writers and naturalists. We will enjoy the scenery of local fields, pastures and woodland forests to observe birds, wildlife, plants and trees.
​Kathy Kellogg has been hiking and walking in nature her whole adult life. This Spring she hiked Diamond Head, Iao Valley State Park and the Grand Canyon. She has hiked parts of the Appalachian Trail with Max Patch being a highlight. She has an understanding of forest bathing and a great appreciation for the beauty, calm environment, variety of trees and vegetation, and changing seasons of the natural world. She is also a flower gardener and seeker of new ways to be in nature. She looks forward to sharing her passion for the natural world with others who are interested in walking some trails together.​

Join US! It's always a good idea to dress in layers, bring bug spray, sunscreen, and water!
