WEEKLY EVENT
Mindfulness Talk with Shanna Gillette
Shanna is a certified yoga teacher, ordained metaphysical counselor and empath. Her journey began as a small child inadvertently discovering deep meditation as an escape from abuse. Having always had an interest in the unseen and unexplained, she began having out of body experiences before learning to speak. Eventually she received a regents scholarship to ASU for religious studies. A series of intense life changing experiences including a serious car accident brought her to the first of several “awakenings,” beginning most notably in 2005. She now helps people through the shift in consciousness we are currently experiencing, assisting them along the path toward self-forgiveness and self-love – the greatest journey of all.
Truly exemplifying her favorite quote from Kahlil Gibran, “The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain,’ she adds, “The journey to wellness is a constantly evolving process where we learn to nurture body and mind beginning with the heart; To truly understand that the most important step to long-lasting good health and harmony isn’t necessarily about sweating our way to perfect abs or contorting our bodies into painful positions. It starts within. It’s about self-acceptance, self-forgiveness, and self-love. It’s about learning to accept and respect ourselves wherever we may be. Through the physicality of yoga, we tune into a deeper more expansive space beyond the trivial day to day. We learn that it’s ok to nurture ourselves and to ALLOW our spirits to be happy.”
Shanna received her yoga teacher’s certification at Bryan Kest’s world renowned studio in Santa Monica, CA. She attended Arizona State University for Religious Studies, and is currently studying at the University of Metaphysics Sedona. She is available for private yoga and counseling sessions and can be found at:

Workshop Series at The Sou’wester
Plant Allies and Writing Rituals: Shifting into a New Year of Personal Resilience with Lara Pacheco & Abby Chroman
Create a practice for personal resilience in the year ahead, with simple medicinal herbs, a daily writing practice, and practical tools for dealing with a challenging world. We will explore a couple of plant allies and rituals to incorporate into daily life that include making a tea blend and a smudge stick. We will take a short walk to cultivate awareness of the elements and season and use this as a place to draw inspiration for a writing practice.
Lara Pacheco is a Taino, Latinx mamita that believes that our collective liberation is accessed through decolonizing ourselves by weaving ourselves into the web of ancestral medicine. Lara directly works through ancestral medicine with plants and fungi. When not caring for her family, land and all creatures, Lara runs Seed and Thistle Apothecary, an educational resource, and co runs the Seasonal Wellness Clinic that works to provide access to herbal medicine and massage for marginalized communities and Brown Girl Rise, a youth empowerment program for young femmes of color.
Abby Chroman is a Program Manager at Portland State University’s School of Business, where she helps launch and lead social impact and innovation initiatives. An MA candidate in Conflict Resolution, Abby is also a facilitator and trainer in conflict resolution, and collaborative process, for individuals, organizations and community groups. Before joining PSU Abby worked for five years with Ashoka, an international NGO, where she helped select and connect leading social entrepreneurs.
COST: $15-$20 sliding scale
BRING: Notebook and writing implement, comfortable clothes for being outside in the winter. Please bring a sack lunch and/or snack (hot tea and coffee provided)
All workshops are open to the public.
All Skill Levels Welcome. (The walk will be no more than a 1/4 of a mile and will take along the paved path along the road towards the ocean.)
