Rooted: Cultivating Sanctuary in the Mind and Body

To find sanctuary in oneself is a practice of tuning into the experiences of the body and caring for the mind. Sanctuary is not just a physical space but it is an ongoing action to create holistic wellbeing. Reiki practitioner Savannah Schmidt from TTA Healing Studio emphasizes healing through connection with the Earth and ancestral energies. The session will end with a reflection on critical work of holistic healing approaches such as reiki, the importance of its availability for all communities, and the potential of embodied care.

Yoga mats and cushions will be provided. Participants are encouraged to wear loose, comfortable clothing and bring a journal, something to write with, and a water bottle.

Free and open to the public at CTHQ.

Rooted: Cultivating Sanctuary in the Mind and Body is a part of Toward Sanctuary, a series of programs exploring the cultivation of sanctuary as a living history and ongoing aspiration inspired by Guadalupe Maravilla’s artistic practice and upcoming Creative Time public art commission.

Events will take place at CTHQ and engage other spaces across the city, including a nightclub and an urban farm.
