Serene Strength Mind & Body LLC

Join me and George Gogas of Serene Strength Mind &amp; Body for an intimate and deeply nourishing evening that weaves together three powerful healing modalities — ceremonial cacao, gentle yoga and a closing sound bath — into one seamless sacred experience.
And the timing couldn’t be more intentional. November 11th — 11/11 — is one of the most energetically significant dates of the entire year. In numerology 11/11 is a master number associated with alignment, awakening and new beginnings. A portal moment. An invitation to get still, drop in and remember who you are.
We couldn’t think of a better way to honor it.
We open with a ceremonial cacao circle — warming the body, opening the heart and setting a sacred intention for our time together.
From there George will guide us through a slow, gentle yoga flow — accessible to all levels and designed to help you arrive fully in your body, release the tension of the day and create space for something deeper.
We close with a full sound bath — singing bowls, gong, ocean drum and more — washing over everything that moved through the practice and integrating the experience on a cellular level. All you have to do is lie down and receive.
No yoga experience necessary. Come exactly as you are. Bring a yoga mat, a cozy layer, and any props to make you more comfortable.
Investment is $44. Space is limited — reserve your spot early. 💜

Join us at&nbsp;1741 Pub &amp; Grill at Lyman Orchards&nbsp;in&nbsp;Middlefield, Connecticut&nbsp;for a festive workshop of thankful fun and pretty lettering&nbsp;for beginners! Whether you’re a stationery nerd, DIY Bride-to-be, or just a crafty individual, in this workshop you’ll be learning an introduction to modern calligraphy with a pointed dip pen and ink. We will cover all the basics and get you ready to add those special lettered details to all your Thanksgiving holiday tables with place cards, menus, food labels, bar carts and more!
Class includes 1.5 hours of instruction and demonstration, our beginner’s calligraphy kit, and all materials to write on. Everything is yours to keep at the end of the workshop! Additionally, we will be lettering on faux pumpkins at the end of our class time!

Class Expectations:&nbsp;Yes,&nbsp;lefties&nbsp;are welcome too!&nbsp;This class is encouraged for someone who has never taken a calligraphy class before. We teach the basics and our expectation for you is to have ink flowing through your nib with enough confidence to be able to practice way beyond class. We love using tracing paper with our guides to help you build muscle memory and develop your own style! &nbsp;If you have tried calligraphy out before, this class will be a great refresher and hopefully a chance to try some new supplies from our beginner kit that will re-introduce you to this lovely form of art!
A note on bringing guests 16 and under:&nbsp;We love to share this passion with kids. You are welcome to get a ticket for your child as long as you are comfortable with people around them having a drink or two. We do ask that anyone under the age of 16 is to be accompanied by a ticketed adult at all times.
