FACILITATED BY: Steph R. Long
EXCHANGE: $15-$35 Sliding Scale
Our hearts carry a deep, innate wisdom that’s always present, though blockages—including challenges, old programming, conditioning, limiting beliefs, trauma, stress—can sometimes cloud our connection to it. This meditation is an invitation to gently soften into that wisdom, nurturing love and compassion for ourselves. Through breath and gentle awareness, we’ll explore the tender spaces within, honoring whatever arises, and creating a foundation for deeper healing and reconnection to the love that flows through us and from us.
You are invited to bring a journal, a writing utensil, and anything that creates a calming atmosphere for you—tea, candles, blankets, or other comforts. Toward the end of the session, there will be space to journal and share reflections if you feel called.
This is a MINKA x Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health Partnership Offering—Created to Bring Efforts of Equity, Diversity, and Decolonizing Work to All.

Paying it Forward
We provide most of our community offerings and private sessions by sliding scale. This is based on the idea of ‘paying it forward’ which enables more people to access healing and wellness. This works when people pay as much as they can for our offerings to help others who may be less fortunate be able to gain access, too. We believe everyone is entitled to heal and thrive, and that practitioners deserve to earn a living wage. We are all in this together and choose to do our best to take care of one another. Thank you for being part of the MINKA community!
