Shine

The Final Day brings it all together with contemplative rest and a lively discussion of the real benefits of conscious movement.

8:00am - 9:30am: Labyrinth Walk

A gentle start to the day at one of the area’s hidden gems. Join us for a walk at this outdoor labyrinth.

There will be a brief introduction, then we invite you to experience the labyrinth at your own pace.

Location: Benedictine Sisters’ Labyrinth, 7430 N. Ridge, Chicago, IL

10:00am - 11:30am: Embodied in Community

In this workshop, participants will explore what connects them with a sense of joy, playfulness and support in the present moment.   We will notice how being with other humans expands and contracts our sense of presence and support, and we will practice listening clearly to what we need in order to stay expansive and true to ourselves while in connection with others.

We will use a variety of awareness tools including imagery, drawing/journaling, practice in pairs, and movement exploration of varying intensity (from stillness all the way to vigorous movement).  Come and be welcomed exactly as you are. Offered by Shira Vardi.

12:00pm - 1:00pm: Panel Discussion: Conscious Practices to Create Wellness

Panelists Arlene Faulk, Stacia DeSalvo, Shira Vardi, and Harry Pickens will discuss their lived experience of using conscious movement practices to facilitate physical and emotional healing.

1:15pm - 2:15pm: iRest Yoga Nidra

2:15pm - 3:00pm: Festival Closing Ceremony
