Shift
Beth ONeall, M.Ed.
How do we promote the best habits for a healthy, conscious lifestyle? How do we shift away from mindless or unhelpful patterns into a sustainable lifestyle that nourishes us, body, mind, heart, and soul? Best of all, how does our Nia practice enable this shift?
In this two hour workshop, you will reflect on your life in a way that’s positive and encouraging; learn about happiness; set intentions, goals, and plans for simple shifts that will open up your life to more happiness and ease; and dance in those shifts. There will be pre- and post-opportunities for additional reflection and engagement via email. Cost is $30, tax included, and includes the workshop plus four emails, one before the workshop and three after, designed to increase your self-knowledge and assist you in making an easy shift into the life you want.
