Sunlight: Survivor and Allies Sunday Trauma-Informed Yoga Series

Sunlight Retreats is excited to announce that we are teaming up with our ally, Monique Minahan, for a monthly yoga series for survivors and survivors' allies. This series will be virtual and is open to an unlimited number of attendees. We ask that participants fill out the following form so we know how many to expect for each session.

We know survivors are triggered by the pandemic stressors like social isolation and uncertainty, as are our volunteers and supporters. This Sunlight Yoga Series is about coming together in a safe place to work on our own self-care. All are welcome! Feel free to share your screens (or not). Monique created an incredible environment in-person at our third retreat when we practiced grief yoga. This is a great opportunity for us to share her skills first-hand with our larger sunlight community.

The confirmed dates for the series are:
Sunday, 10/17
Sunday, 11/14
Sunday, 12/5

Time: Noon PST

We ask that attendees who can afford to donate $5 to @sunlightretreats on Venmo to help subsidize the cost. However, inability to donate is not a barrier for attending the series.

If you have any questions about signing up, please email Emily@SunlightRetreats.org.
If you have questions for Monique, she can be reached at moniqueminahan@gmail.com
