Gathered & Grounded:
monthly rest circles

Pause • soften • breathe

you are invited

Permission slip to pause

Sign up for Gathered & Grounded to deeply rest the parts of you that are depleted and running on empty. In these 90 minute monthly rest circles, you will experience deep rest with Daring to Rest yoga nidra. Come, gather in community and ground into the truth of who you are- a woman who deserves a life of authenticity, fulfillment, intimacy, aliveness and JOY!

You long to feel deeply nourished, seen and appreciated, yet your life feels like an endless loop of always doing for everyone else and nothing left for you.

Does this sound like you?

✓ Physically exhausted from “doing all the things” and giving from an already empty cup.

✓ Emotionally exhausted from living an “agenda driven” life.

✓ Mentally exhausted from worrying and being “stuck in your head”.

✓ Disconnected from yourself, your needs, desires, and creativity.

✓ Lonely and longing for a healthy community of like-minded women.

✓ Weekends aren’t a break, they’re filled with numbing distractions.

✓ The passion has faded in your intimate life and deeper connection feels out of reach.

UPCOMING REST CIRCLE

December 16

This month’s theme is:

Divine Light

As we move into the darkness of winter, it’s an important time to pause and surrender to the healing darkness of the longest darkest night. It is also a time to celebrate the return of the light and to recognize the radiance of the divine light that shines bright within you.

This is a beautiful practice to include in your winter solstice celebration where we welcome in the medicine of deep rest and restoration.

Just as the world around us slows down and a deep sense of quiet blankets the landscape, we are invited to withdraw and take this time for deep rest. 

The benefits of this particular practice are:

  • To clear energy blockages

  • Promote the free flow of healing energy through the body

  • Deep restoration and inner silence

  • Experience connecting with your deep inner knowing

  • Re-establish trust and self -advocacy

I can’t think of a better way to welcome winter and the holiday’s than to feel anchored in rest and rooted in the wisdom of your own journey.

This Daring to Rest Yoga Nidra will guide you out of the darkness and into the light by reminding you to tune into your own wisdom and how your wisdom and light will shine a light out into this world. 

Join me for this time of deep self-care and nourishment.

Online: Monday December 16
6:00 to 7:30 p.m. CT

FAQs

  • Most of our time during the Rest Circle will be spent resting, either lying down or in a comfortable reclined seated position. You will be invited to create a quiet ‘rest nest’ for our circles, to anchor and honor this time as sacred. 

    Whether you join us from your sofa, your bed, or your yoga mat, what’s most important is that you feel warm and comfortable.

  • After each Rest Circle, you will receive a link with the recording of our yoga nidra practice, which you will have access to for a whole month after the course is completed. This means that even if you are unable to join some of our Rest Circles, you will be able to practice these beautiful Yoga Nidras in your own, unhurried time.

  • As we will be lying down for 30-40 minutes, make sure that you have a cozy, private, comfortable ‘rest nest’ to rest in. Use any pillows, cushions, blankets, bolsters, eye pillows or anything else you have at hand to add extra ‘coziness’ and comfort to your space.

    If you have lavender oil or another oil you love at home, you might choose to anoint your wrists with it before each circle.

    I invite you to bring a candle with you, which we will light together at the start of our circle. I also recommend that you bring your favorite notebook, as you might choose to write down a few personal reflections towards the end of our Rest Circle.

  • Yoga nidra is an ancient, powerful guided meditation practice.

    Yoga Nidra invites us to deeply rest physically, mentally and emotionally by leading us into a profound state of relaxation, beyond the chatter of our mind. It opens up the space for us to come into contact with our subconscious mind.

    In yoga nidra, we enter the liminal space between awake and sleep states, a space where we are highly susceptible and can ‘plant seeds’ to support personal yearnings and resolutions. 

  • The Daring to Rest Yoga Nidra method is designed specifically for individuals who identify as women.  It combines guided meditation, self-discovery, and other techniques to help women connect to their wisdom and reclaim rest.

    Inviting women to experience deep rest helps us feel safe in our bodies and gives us the space to connect with our inner knowing and wisdom.

  • After each Rest Circle, you will receive a link with the recording of our yoga nidra practice, which you will have access to for a whole month after the circle is completed.

Love Notes

  • The first time I practiced yoga nidra with Krista I was nearly one year out from my breast cancer diagnosis. My physical healing was complete, although emotionally and mentally, I was empty and fearful. I was tired of being tired. Krista offered a warm, inviting, and safe space to practice. I left that morning session feeling relaxed. When I returned home, my body felt heavy, as if it was telling me to sit and simply be. I wrapped myself up in a blanket and spent the afternoon in a state of rest (rarely does this happen). My mind, body and soul felt refreshed.
