What We Call Meditation Workshop
Facilitated By:
Jordan Grinstein
1-3PM
Cost:
Meditation is about entering, with love, the raw, electric intimacy of being alive. There are infinite ways to do this, but only some honor your body’s innate rhythms and natural renewal process. Many standard techniques impose rigid structures that go against our nature, like forcing ourselves into shoes that don’t fit. When we discover our practices—the ones that feel effortless and aligned with our nature—we crave it. It becomes a daily celebration of individuality, a time to rest in the genius powers of self-renewal. We emerge refreshed, resourced, and ready to love life fully.
Come explore how to welcome all parts of yourself—every thought, sensation, and longing. To listen. To feel. To let yourself be met with kindness.
Meditation isn’t separate from life—it is life, pulsing through you in waves of pleasure, healing, and adaptation.

Stress, injury, our lifestyle and genetic predispositions can disrupt the natural flow, which can manifest into many forms of dis-ease... also referred to as projects. I have been studying and practicing the art of Jin Shin Jyutsu for over 25 years. During the discussion, I will explain how to create Harmony by facilitating the flow of blocked energy, as I have been taught. I will also be prepared to offer treatments."

Ashley Moshe
11-12:30PM
Cost: $30
In a world that teaches us to run from ourselves, abandon ourselves, and put ourselves last, it’s no wonder most people don’t even know who they are, let alone love who they are. In this session, I will share my journey of coming back home to myself. It all started one night, standing in mountain pose on my yoga mat. I met myself for the first time and it was in that moment that I could begin to love all versions of myself. And in that moment, the Blueprint to Life message was spoken into my soul. Get ready for a deep dive into the powerful, life changing message of “Meet yourself Love yourself Go on an adventure”
