FULL MOON CELEBRATION:

THE CROW MOON

Honoring the Divine Feminine


 

Friday, March 9th

From 7:00 to 9:00PM

 

The Center at Westwoods

590 Gay St.

Westwood, MA



The northern tribes named this moon for the cawing of crows signaling the end of winter. It was also known as Worm Moon, Sap Moon or the Lenten Moon. As the temperature begins to warm and the ground begins to thaw, earthworm casts appear, heralding the return of the robins. This also marks the time of tapping maple trees for sap. In the Celtic Tree Calendar, March is the month of the sacred Alder tree.

 

All are welcome; no yoga experience necessary – we will do a short asana practice; focus is on meditation and chanting of mantras. We will be out at the firepit for the 2nd half of the workshop, weather-permitting.

In this weekend program, we will explore the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda, the sister science to yoga. Ayurveda focuses on using food and daily practices as preventative medicine. This Sanskrit word means “living in harmony with nature.”

 

Ayurvedic Herbs & Oils for Everyday Wellness

 

We will begin our journey into Ayurveda with an overview of the wonderful world of organic herbs and herbal oils.

 

This session will be hands on, interactive, with demonstrations and opportunities to sample oils and purchase products. Please bring a small hand towel that you don't mind getting oily. You may also want to bring or wear comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting oily as well.

 

$50.00 per person.
