What exactly am I signing up for?
There are three components to the Graceful Warrior Wellness Training journey. When you become a member, you may choose to have access to all three components, or just one or two, depending on where the "holes" are in what you've got going on already.
Warrior component - Kung Fu
Once/week, 1 hour
(Tentatively Mondays, 7-8 pm)
Here you will improve your fitness, develop discipline and deepen your self-awareness (and so much more!) through the study of Chinese martial arts - Kung Fu and Chi Kung. The traditional practice is so much more than learning self-defense, hand-to-hand combat techniques, and weapons training (although those are definitely a part of it). Another important aspect is knowing how and when to quiet your mind and strengthen your chi through meditation. True martial artists know great peace; they have met their dragons and know how to ride them. You will discover layers of meaning and beauty in the technical animal forms, and explore your creativity in making these ancient practices your own. The learning and rewards of this discipline are endless.
Kung Fu means "hard work over a long period of time." Let the journey (that never ends) begin!
Creative Expression component - Song Sharing & Visual Arts Therapy
Once/week, 1 hour
(Tentatively Wednesdays, 7-8 pm)
In these sessions, we will alternate weekly between creative expression through visual arts, and through singing. On the visual arts weeks, we will practice drawing and painting "as an experience," for the purposes of self-expression, self-exploration, and as a component of personal healing rituals. You'll be notified of any required materials the week before each session. No experience required!
On the singing weeks, we will learn and share uplifting positive-message songs, some of which will likely become healing mantras for you as you go about your daily life. If you don't already know it, you will learn how precious a gift your song voice is as a tool for self-expression, emotional catharsis, community connection and personal enjoyment. Singing is an incredibly effective way to really wake up your power!
Community Connection component - Heart Shares
Every other week, 1 hour
(Tentatively Sundays, 10-11 am)
During these video calls, you will be given the opportunity to witness and be witnessed by other Graceful Warriors, in a safe container where all you need to do is show up as you are. Each person will have approximately 10 minutes to speak what is true in their heart on that day, in that moment. When you are finished, the rest of us will simply thank you for sharing. What a gift it is to listen, and to be seen and heard by others who walk with intention on their human journeys.
Optional add on: One-on-one mentoring calls ($60/hour)
If you would like help with your accountability to your self-care commitment, or if you're seeking guidance in your healing path, would like some additional help with your creative goals, these private calls may be what you're looking for to get more out of your membership experience.
