Welcome to the 2nd annual Wellness on the Water! Join us for a warm and inviting experience where you can enjoy a post-travel stretch, connect with the community, and engage in Nature's Kaleidoscope as we skillfully create nature mandalas together. Using natural materials like leaves, stones, flowers, and twigs, we'll come together to design mandalas that symbolize unity, harmony, and balance. This mindful activity fosters a deep connection with nature and each other, encouraging relaxation, reflection, and a sense of communal creativity. Let the beauty of the natural world inspire your artistic expression and leave you feeling rejuvenated and connected. No prior experience, just bring your open heart.

Rewire Your Mind for Joy 😊

Friday May 9, 2025 8:00am - 9:00am CDT

Learn how to access the transformative power of presence by understanding and working with the mind’s natural binary operating system. This survival mechanism, while essential, often pulls us out of the present moment. In this eye-opening class, you’ll explore how to work with these patterns gently, reconnect to your five senses, and harness their role as a gateway to true presence. Discover how this deeper awareness helps you conserve energy, process emotions, and uncover a profound sense of joy in even the most ordinary moments. Presence isn’t a destination; it’s a way of being.

Bliss it Out 🤸🏼‍♂️ Let It Go

This is a light-hearted, powerful flow with the opportunity to amplify or modify. In this class, we'll explore how our energy reaches beyond ourselves, connecting with nature and the community. We'll transition seamlessly between poses, emphasizing the connection to our breath and the fluidity of movement. Our goal is to release old patterns and gain a sense of presence within ourselves, others, and the water around us. As we practice, our energy rises and we move together as one BIG, radiant ball of blissful light. "I know, I know. Sounds kinda cheesy...give it a try. We will visualize, sweat, and shift our mind to find the balance between peaceful surrender and energetic devotion." ~ Krista
