SUMMARY:Moving Through Grief to Gratitude
DESCRIPTION:“Gratitude and grief may seem to be in tension with one another\, but gratitude and loss are inseparable. Awareness of what is present calls forth what is absent.” –Oren Jay Sofer \nLed by dancer and Artist-in-Residence Lonnie Stanton\, this adult workshop is rooted in yoga\, initiating movement through intentional breathwork. Using somatic* movement techniques\, we will gain full-body awareness that focuses on your internal physical experience. All bodies are welcome! \nMovement and exercise have been known to ease tension in the body and relieve pain. Using simple physical movements and gestures\, we will gently release and exhale what weighs on us and inhale gratitude through the body. With time we will settle on mats or in chairs\, and focus on more traditional yoga sequencing. \nREGISTER NOW >>\nPlease wear clothes you are comfortable moving in and bring a mat or towel to sit on. We will have folding chairs available for those who would like to use them. Check-in will be outside Story Chapel and we will travel as a group to the workshop location at Auburn Lake. \nEvent Capacity: 15 people \nCheck-in at Story Chapel \n*Somatic movement is a gentle\, mindful\, and body-oriented practice that involves being present during movement in order to feel more connected to your body. It focuses on the internal experience and feelings connected to movement rather than pushing your body to move in a certain way. \n… \nLonnie Stanton (she/her\, they/them)\, dancer/choreographer \nLonnie Anela O’kalani Neff Stanton is a proud native Hawaiian based in Boston. She is a professional dancer\, dance educator\, and certified yoga instructor. She currently performs with Jean Appolon Expressions\, Peter DiMuro\, Lynn Modell\, and Continuum Dance. Formerly\, she worked as a performer and teacher for 10 years with Prometheus Dance. Lonnie is passionate about sharing dance in unconventional\, often outdoor spaces where a broad audience can be reached. In 2022\, she was awarded the Live Arts Boston Grant with The Click for her site-responsive augmented reality dance installation\, Emotive Land. In 2021\, she choreographed auditory movement maps for American Repertory Theater’s Arboretum Experience. Lonnie is on faculty at the Boston Conservatory at Berklee and The Harvard Dance Center. \n\n\n…  \n\n\n\nExperience a deeper connection to Mount Auburn Cemetery with free or discounted access to all our public programs and special events by joining the Friends of Mount Auburn.

While these walks will include gentle movement\, they may not extend far into the cemetery. Rather\, we will tap into the nature of the Cemetery as a doorway to sharing and reflecting on what ‘elderhood’ means to you and to the group of participants. Special consideration will be given for participants who may have mobility or other issues.  \nRecommended to bring: comfortable shoes\, water\, something you can easily carry to sit on such as a small mat  \n\nCheck-in will be outside Story Chapel. \nEvent Capacity: 15 people \n\nREGISTER NOW >>\n\n…  \n\n\nStefanie Haug\, LICSW (she/her) guides people on mindfulness ecotherapy and indigenous circle practices.
