Peaceful Guided Imagery Meditations Sitting in a circle with like-minded individuals can be very healing in hectic 2020! Taking time to connect with that peaceful powerful place within is so important!
Like going to the spa for your soul! Come on down and find that serenity! :) A peaceful, guided meditation, designed to relax that tension around your shoulders, relieve those racing thoughts and remind you of the strength you hold inside. To help you heal your heart and live heart-centered from a place of courage and confidence. A one hour class, kept to that shorter length of time so that it remains easy to fit into your personal schedule - only an hour needed to turn your whole week around! :) Now in our 24th year, we are second and third generation teachers of meditation and meditators ourselves, seeking to help everyone to find peace and nurture their spiritual side. These classes are 1 hour in length – the guided meditation is approximately 30 minutes. The other time is used in a variety of different ways to help you disconnect from the busyness of your day – whether it be a discussion of different stones to help alleviate stress, time spent with singing bowls or drums... The time is spent in helping you revitalize and re-energize, body, mind and spirit. These classes are led by Jane, the owner of Wisdom of the Ages! Each class is $10 per person, which includes a free pocket rock! We record every guided meditation, so if you'd like a copy of one of the meditations you did with us in class on a CD or a downloadable audio file, they're just $5! If you call us, email us or stop in to reserve a space, we'll have a seat set out for you! But walk-ins are welcome, so no need to stress about a reservation! :) We hope to see you there! Give yourself a break ~ meditate! :) In accordance with Connecticut state regulations to keep everyone safe, we will be pre-placing chairs for class attendees at least 6 feet apart. Everyone must wear a mask while shopping or walking around the store, but once we all take a seat in our socially-distanced chair arrangement, you can optionally remove your mask during the time that everyone is seated. And you are always welcome to use the hand sanitizer we have available!

Native American Drumming Circles
Next date TBD
|
In hectic, busy 2020, remember to take time to have a little bit of ceremony in your life! Drumming is an excellent way to calm your mind, heal your body and empower your spirit!
We sit in a circle and use Native American drums ~ just listening is so healing! The sound of your mother's heartbeat in the womb, the sound of your heartbeat, connecting to Mother Earth... No experience necessary! We will lead you in some rhythms and let the spirit move you! We will cover a variety of traditional Native drumming rhythms, with explanations on ceremonial and energetic healing purposes! ~ If you have your own Native American drum, please bring it ~ if not, we will always have some to share! If you feel that you'd benefit from being a part of the circle without using a drum yourself, just let us know! ~ Come drum with us & absorb the powerful healing energy of the drum! Beginners always welcome! This class is $10 per person and everyone gets a free pocket rock! If you call us, email us or stop in to reserve a space, we'll have a seat set out for you!

Join Cassie (RYT-200 Registered Yoga Teacher through the Yoga Alliance) for a soothing class great for any first-time beginner or an intermediate practitioner. Cassie will guide you through a gentle flow that will stretch, strengthen, and bring awareness to the breath and body.
By bringing awareness to the physical body using pranayama (breath control) and asana (poses/postures) we can prepare the subtle body for a more peaceful meditation, allowing us to find connection to the deepest part of the self and therefore more compassion for the world around us.
This practice is all about meeting yourself where you are on this given day and finding peace, strength and serenity within. Namaste

Here at Wisdom of the Ages, we like to collaborate with those on a similar mission to bring Light, Love and Peace to the world. Cassie has been a customer and friend for years and we are excited to welcome her as a Yoga Teacher! All of our classes and events, (including Meditation, Daito Ryu Aiki Jujutsu martial arts, Native American Drumming, Chakra Classes, Qi Gong, Reiki and more) focus on helping to uplift you and release stress, bringing your whole self to a higher vibration. After discussing Cassie’s goals in teaching Yoga, to help everyone on their spiritual path, connecting with their Higher Selves, we are so glad to offer the space for her classes here, walking the same path with all of our other events!

Please bring your own yoga mat or blanket for this evening, as well as water if you would like it. We can host up to 12 individuals for this socially-distanced class – if you contact us ahead, we can reserve your space, but we also accept walk-ins for any remaining spaces!
