1st Base - outside
Invoke the wisdom and playful spirit of Ganesha, the remover of obstacles!  

In this immersive workshop we will open up to the creative possibilities that are always flowing when we know where and how to look for them.

This class will include a bit of light asana to clean off our energy, followed by chanting Ganesh’s seed mantra to invoke his wisdom for more clarity. Using journaling prompts inspired by Ganesha's symbolism, his broken tusk, his love of sweets, the goad he carries - participant will be invited to confront creative blocks and reimagine them as portals to reconnect to our true purpose.

Whether you are a seasoned writer or just beginning, come ready to write, play and discover what emerges when you befriend the obstacles on your path.

Bring: your journal and pens

What to expect: class will be 30% light movement and 70% discussion, mantras and journaling
