About the Workshop
“Water is fluid, soft, and yielding. But water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield. As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft, and yielding will overcome whatever is rigid and hard. This is another paradox: what is soft is strong.” – Lao Tzu
Local folks are warmly invited to us in-person at our community house in Ridgewood, NY (on the border of Bushwick, Brooklyn and Queens) on Saturday, October 26th from 11a-4pm for a day-long embodied investigation into the seemingly paradoxical nature of water. *Hybrid zoom option is now available per request! Please register via the link below and let us know via email if you are joining via zoom.
We will explore practices of strength and vulnerability, flowing and yielding, and metabolize personal and collective grief through shared ritual.
“There is a river flowing now very fast. It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid. They will try to hold on to the shore. They will feel they are being torn apart and will suffer greatly. Know the river has its destination. The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off into the middle of the river, keep our eyes open, and our heads above the water."
