Please join us for our 4th year hosting this new years morning tradition.
Begin the new year by cultivating a supported space of stillness and creative reflection where you'll learn how to practice Sōtō Zen, the largest of three traditions of Japanese Zen. The heart of Sōtō is 'zazen' which is seated meditation.
You'll also learn 'kinhin’ which is mindful walking, both slow and fast. Both David and Stacey will give small talks on Zen and creative journaling practices, and there will be opportunities for discussion and periods of writing and tea.

SHIFT: A FOUR-PART SERIES
with Megan Lumgair
🗓️ FRIDAYS JAN 9, JAN 16, FEB 6, FEB 20
⏰ 11:10AM
📍 PICTON STUDIO
We roll out the mat for different reasons — to speed up, to slow down, to breathe, to reconnect. Shift is a gentle four-part series created to honour all of those intentions. Across four Fridays, we’ll explore the subtle energetics of each element through guided asana, embodied movement, breathwork, stillness, and sound. Come for the full series or take the classes that call to you. Think of it as a spacious toolkit to help you return to deep presence in daily life.
Pillows, props, and oils will be available to support you in dropping deeper. Classes are 50 minutes. Sign up for one ($30 pp), or dive into all four ($100 pp). Signups linked below.
THE ELEMENTS:
JAN 9 · Earth — Slow, steady, supportive
JAN 16 · Air — Spacious, expansive, expressive
FEB 6 · Fire — Power, passion, dynamic
FEB 20 · Water — Fluid, receptive, intuitive
PERI-MENOPAUSE AS A PORTAL: MENOPAUSE AS REBIRTH
with Jane Clapp
🗓️ SATURDAY JANUARY 24
⏰ 1 - 4PM
📍 PICTON STUDIO
In this 3-hour in-person workshop, we’ll explore Inanna’s descent, the world’s oldest myth of death and rebirth, as a living map of feminine transformation. Through spontaneous movement, intuitive drawing, and guided active imagination, Jane will help us find language and form for what’s shifting — hormonally, psychically, and spiritually.
Each stage opens a gate:
• Movement to honour instinctual wisdom
• Drawing as dialogue with the unconscious
• Active imagination where psyche and soma meet
You’ll leave with a felt sense of what is being dismantled, what is emerging, and how to hold yourself in the in-between — an invitation to meet your own descent as the beginning of liberated, authentic living.
Bring a journal, wear comfortable clothing, and come with curiosity. No art or dance experience needed.
