Goddess Gathering

A Sacred Sisterhood MEETING SPACE

A monthly meeting for all those who embody the power of the Divine Feminine. From the ancestral lineages of every Wise Woman who came before us, we will create a sacred circle of sisterhood embracing the Goddess who dwells within.

A safe space to greet and gather, to honor and support, to bring awareness and guidance to all aspects of women’s health & wellness.

Each month we will meet in community in South Philly to collectively embrace guided meditations, movement medicines, sacred rituals, and cyclical ceremonies centered around a Goddess entity from different lineages and worldly traditions.

Meetings will also include a holistic approach to healing through communal talks and open discussion around various topics including mental health, inner work and embedded trauma, hormonal stability and transitions, reproductive health and challenges, sexual exploration and expression, mother wounds and ancestral lineages, and more.

Doors Open at 2:00pm
(for socializing & settling)

Ceremony Begins at 2:30pm

About the facilitator:

MJ Heart has been a professional in the health & wellness industry since 2008, she has been formally trained and certified in various forms of traditional massage therapy, eastern bodywork and healing, energy and subtle-body channeling, plant medicine studies, meditation and mindfulness, yogic practices and philosophies, dance and movement medicines, as well as shamanic journeying and healing modalities.

MJ's personal journey with reproductive health has been a long-term challenge since her late teens. She was first diagnosed with a Category IV: Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis in 2009 and has had multiple surgeries to prevent this disease from turning deadly. In addition, she has been diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), additional hormonal disorders relating to the ovaries and thyroid, issues with fertility, and more.

Her ability to cope with these varying diseases and disorders is largely due to her deep relationship to mindfulness, meditation, movement medicine and the inner + ancestral work she has dived into over many years. MJ strives to hold a container of safe space and loving compassion for other women as we come together in healing the collective feminine wounds.

Unconditional Rest + Soothing Sound Bowls

Unconditional Rest + Soothing Sound Bowls

Unconditional Rest with Special Guest Coach Shay

Far too often we forget that yoga is not just the practice of high-energy vinyasa or strong asana, but also a way of tuning into our inner work & calming the mind through slowness and stillness.

We know - it's not always easy in a world that equates success to how fast or how hard we can work towards our goals. There is wisdom in the idea that an equally strong practice of the opposite energy - one that is sweet, slow, and nurturing to the mind - can lead to a stronger, grounded presence in our work and family lives.

Join Palo's 300-Hr YTT graduate Lindsey Gill and special guest, Coach Shay to embark on a journey of deep, blissful, restorative yoga postures accompanied by soothing sound bowls. Create this time for your own healing space to rest, renew, and rejuvenate--you deserve it.

  

Donation-Based Exchange : $15-30

Mindful Eating & Movement

 "Let's share a meal together!"

 

We can nourish the body in a multitude of ways and we are true believers that movement paired with breathwork, meditation, and eating mindfully are practices that can be done both individually and in community.

It is such a joy to be able to bring this offering to our home studio (where we had our first date several years ago!). After traveling around Japan last spring, taking in the culture, hospitality, food, music, and overall respect for life and what makes life worth living, we came home inspired.

Inspired to keep living our daily lives with love and appreciation, and inspired with the desire to share this with everyone in our orbit. 

This experience will start with sharing some green tea we brought home from our travels. Then Colleen will lead a yin-inspired practice, followed by sharing a meal lovingly prepared by Chef Matt! The idea is to just come with an open heart and mind to enjoy the food and one another's company.

$25 to reserve your space for this rejuvenating offering!

The Gift of Presence
Special Christmas Morning Yoga

Join Daniel Cordua for a special holiday yoga class + community offering in studio or online!

In both yoga wisdom & contemporary healing, it is shown that learning to “be present” with ourselves is one of the most transformational, revealing, beautiful and potent practices … in fact, it can reveal all of who we are. At the same time, it can also be one of the most challenging & confronting processes we can undertake.

Relationally, only when we are able to be deeply present with our own self, are we able to deeply present with the fullness of another. That ability to find presence - towards ourselves and others - is a true gift. It builds better self knowledge, along with compassion, acceptance & intimacy towards both our own self and other people. It also unearths our own inherent strength, resilience, empowerment, and expansion.

Join Daniel for a yoga experience that will lovingly mine the depths of our ability to be present with ourselves via a fun, challenging vinyasa flow, peppered with wisdom, inspiration, humor and celebration.

Practice and honor your own unique ability to gift yourself presence… and pass that gift on not only to your loved ones but to all the lives you touch.

All class passes accepted!

Winter Solstice Sound Bath

winter solstice SOUND BATH CEREMONY
w/ coach shay

Join us at Palo Santo for a special winter afternoon of calling and claiming the light back into your being.

 

On the northern hemisphere, the winter solstice is the darkest day of the year, it is a time where we embrace the long night and prepare to call the sun back into action. As we pause in the place of the void, we might reflect upon our own potential and honor the current of power we possess deep within that gives us the power to shine from a place of truth, compassion, and love.

You will leave this workshop feeling a new sense of unity consciousness, a new awareness of the awakening energy within, along with a renewed sense of internal understanding through the power of pausing and reflecting into the space of winter's hibernation.


Sound Baths Provide An Environment To:
Heal The Mind • Clear away stuck and discordant energy, gain clarity of thought and relief from difficult emotions.
Heal The Body • Stuck energy within the body is entrained into flowing energy from sound healing instruments, encouraging better health.
Heal the Soul • When used with intention for healing, a powerful influence of the pure energy of sound can break old outdated patterns and set a new path for our souls journey.


What To Bring:
Please wear comfortable clothes, bring a yoga mat and other supports to help you stay comfortable during the sound bath. You are welcome to bring your crystals to be cleared or something warm to drink in a travel mug to nourish yourself during the event.

South Philly Kriskindlmarkt

MINI winter MARKET IN-STUDIO

Have you heard of Kriskindlmarkt?

It's MJ here, the woman behind the happenings at Palo Santo, excited to be offering a mini Holiday Market in our sweet studio space on Saturday, November 30th from 2:00-8:00pm. 

Kriskindlmarkt, if you've never heard of it, is a Germanic tradition that goes back to the 16th century when the town square was set up for local artists, craftsman, food sellers, toy makers, tradesman, and the like to sell their goods for gifts in little stalls throughout the holiday season.

Traditional songs were sung and sometimes dances were performed throughout the market to bring joy and light to the inevitable darkness of the winter season. Much of the intention was to create a marketplace that supported the local town and bring together the folks who resided in it.

Being from Bethlehem, PA and of Austrian lineage, I grew up going to Kriskindlmarkt annually watching and helping my Grandmother sell her beautiful handmade ornaments. The tradition was always so magical to me, so I've decided to bring the magic to my sweet little community of Palo Santo Yoga.

Come out and shop for the holiday season by supporting local artists, conscious creators, and small businesses - we'll have unique art pieces, healing + wellness products, handmade jewelry, locally made candles, herbal concoctions, and tarot readings available (you can pre-book an appointment here) while you shop! Plus more...

In the Spirit of the Season, we honor holding space for those we cherish most by giving gifts made of the best intentions!
