WITH VIRGINIA MASON RICHARDSON
Part Three in a four-part integrative, monthly series exploring our connection to the Elements. Register for all four classes in the series and save by clicking here.
Earth. Air. Water. Fire. These four Elements represent four planes of experience – four specific ways of engaging with the world. Through Yoga, Astrology and Tarot, this integrative, monthly workshop series will immerse you in each Element while exploring your personal connection to it.
When we open ourselves to experience and connect with each Element, we are offered new perspective and can appreciate the powerful differences of each elemental plane. The Elements help us see beyond ourselves toward an interconnected whole; as we travel between the planes and experience the world differently, our consciousness expands, and we are graced with compassion and acceptance.
Meditation, Breath practices and Yoga postures will be used to explore each Element with playfulness and curiosity. In these exercises, you will learn ways to physically and energetically align yourself with each elemental plane.
You also will learn how to engage with the Elements through Astrology and your birth chart. We will explore the Elements you are uniquely aligned with – the Elements that dominate your experience; and shape your perspective and the way you relate to others.
We then dive into the art of Tarot to further deepen our experience of the Elements. You will be guided toward an intuitive understanding of the role the Elements currently play in your life by drawing a card for each Element from the corresponding Tarot suit.
Come ready to take your body, mind and spirit on a multidimensional journey through the elemental planes, and leave with a greater understanding of the Elements in Yoga, Astrology and Tarot; and how the Elements shape who we are, how we live, and how we connect to each other.
IN THE ELEMENTS: Air
As the sun enters Gemini, we float into Air: the plane of consciousness, the Tarot suit of Swords, and the Astrological signs of Gemini, Libra and Aquarius. Air is the Element that tells us we are here. It is conscious thought, giving it incredible powers of objectivity and reasoning. Air also is breath, which is one of the most powerful tools for harmonizing our experience in each moment; allowing us to embody compassionate detachment. In this workshop, you’ll experience the juxtapositions of the Air Element, and learn how it can be used to both anchor you to your present experience, and support you in non-attachment.
