The Art of Sensation Retreat Nia Body and Life Training ( AKA Nia White Belt)
Sense mastery. Imagine going mindfully and joyfully through your life. Delight in your unique style of becoming an Elder. Nia is a design system for sustainability in the body that offers a one-of-a-kind training program providing comprehensive body-mind-emotion-spirit practices for self-awareness and empowerment. This training is for your own development and can also be the first step toward teaching Nia.
What you get: includes study, practice, exploration, lecture, and experience within a holistic science approach to personal transformation. Expect to move, but at your own level of energy.
Why is it called a “retreat”? For the session, you leave the distractions of your everyday life and responsibilities behind, and focus on useful principles and practices for self-care, learning, growth, and fostering curiosity – just as you would at a retreat. In this online version, you have the rest of the week in your regular life to apply what you’ve explored – to test in out in the real world. No travel or lodging expenses, no arranging for others to take care of your responsibilities, and yet, a dedicated time to attend to yourself.
Janet’s story : In my career as a gerontologist, offering recreation and exercise for older adults, I never imagined that my Nia hobby would someday blend with my professional training. And now, I am certain that Nia has not only given me a fitness and lifestyle practice I can do for the rest of my life, but that many elements of Nia philosophy and implementation offer exactly what research is telling us is the path to healthy longevity. Nia provides myriad tools for resilience and sustainability for the body, the mind and the spirit. It addresses the many aspects of wellness, not only physical, but mental, emotional, social, environmental, spiritual, and vocational.
CALENDAR for Art of Sensation Retreats, (White Belt Trainings) with Janet
Option 2. Beginning Jan 8 – Wed and Fri 1:00-3:00 ONLINE series for 2 months, ending Feb. 28
There are all kinds of supporting things to do if you choose, like free classes, podcasts, stuff to read, a journal, a mid-week conversation with other trainees. The course continues over 16 sessions, and you choose your own pace for the supporting materials. It’s a great time to establish a revised or new self-care practice.
The training suits ANY level of energy. You get to apply the ideas to your life however you are now. Become the Elder you want to be.
