About This Event:

Raise your hand if somewhere along the way you learned you needed to earn your rest. That you had to justify your 2 week vacation with a considerable amount of suffering beforehand? How many of you feel “lazy” when you are at rest or not “doing?” Many of us have the urge to rest, but deny this urge. We work hard to escape having to feel our worth wounds: who am I if I am not working hard? We over-give, hoping that others will eventually pour into us. We optimize ourselves, like machines, to avoid being judged as slothlike. We label our pleasures as “guilty.” 

We invite you to a Spoke Circle experience aimed at supporting you in leaning into deep rest and owning your fears and needs for relaxation. In this experience:

• We will gather at cityWell, boutique bathhouse and outdoor oasis in Brooklyn, for a private experience. At cityWell, which aims to make self-care a lifestyle not a luxury, we will have 1.5 hours to participate in hydrotherapy, which includes luxurious rain showers, outdoor soaking baths, dry cedar saunas, and aromatherapy steam rooms. We will snack on fresh foods and brewed tea. You will be able to wander through the space at your own pace and will receive optional prompts to help guide your relaxation beforehand.

• After this, we will gather in the loft for journaling and deep connection. In this time, you will have space to both dream about what it would be like to be an unapologetically relaxed person and confront fears about living in line with the demands of others. You will leave the 3 hour event having felt more connected to yourself, your needs, and to others who are on a journey toward easing up the chase.
