Play & Ponder Portal — Yoga and Art Experience

Sunday Mar. 2— Enter a sanctuary of healing, creativity, and connection at our Play & Ponder Portal: Art and Yoga Experience. This gentle journey invites you to rekindle your inner child through mindful movement, artistic expression, and deep presence—all within the nurturing embrace of Rockledge.

This experience includes a 45-minute, playfulness-inspired yoga flow guided by Ryan, followed by a two-hour, mindful, pondering-inspired art experiential guided by Rachael. We will explore the magic of play through connecting with our childlike wonder, our hearts, our bodies, and one another. We will also explore the power of pondering through a Neurographica-, semi-abstract-, and Garden of Life-inspired art experiential that allows us to tap into our unique flow.

We hope you leave this experience with inspiration and the intention of seeing the world through the eyes of a pondering, wandering, wondering, and liberated child of Earth! Kurt Vonnegut once said, “Life is a garden, not a road. We exit and enter through the same gates. Wandering, what we notice matters more than where we go.”
