Common Good
Workshop
This workshop explores yoga on and off the mat to activate the common good. It gives an overview of the “common good” work of bringing together the individual and collective practices of yoga to awaken liberation for all. Create a more holistic experience in your yoga practice by moving it off your mat and into your relationships, community, and the world.
A means of engagement designed to:
- Make connection and relationship to yourself and others the point; connection before content.
- Let go of your story, and create space for freedom.
- Gain personal autonomy and acknowledge interdependence.
- Move from conversations of:
- being helpful to curiosity,
- problem-solving to possibility,
- barter to promises with no expectation of return,
- blame to choosing accountability,
- deficiencies to gifts, and
- retribution to restoration.
Guided by: Peter Block and Anna Ferguson
