Full Course Details
In a world shaped by urgency and overdrive, how do we reclaim rest, reflection, and the wisdom of ancient rhythms?
In this four-week guided reading series, artist and spiritual-political practitioner Sonali Sangeeta Balajee and Ginny McGinn, Zen practitioner and process designer, invite us to explore the Tao Te Ching (Ursula K. Le Guin’s rendition) as a sacred companion for these hyper-Yang times. Through the lens of Yin—slowness, creativity, release, and surrender—we’ll examine how Taoist philosophy can resource our bodies, communities, and movements for deeper balance and collective healing.
During this time of global instability and transformation, ancient wisdoms offer vital medicine for grounding, clarity, and renewal. Rooted in the Tao Te Ching and the concept of Yin/Yang, this gentle yet provocative guided reading series invites participants to explore how the rising energy of Yin—rest, receptivity, and inner spaciousness—is reawakening in our lives and systems.
Through sacred text, poetic reflection, and collective inquiry, we’ll explore how these teachings can support us in resisting overextension, deepening relational practice, and sustaining wholeness in the face of burnout culture and disconnection. Each session includes time for silent contemplation, small group sharing, and space to explore your own truth within the living wisdom of the Tao.
Meeting during the fall—a season aligned with Yin energy in the northern hemisphere—this series is open to all who are called to deepen their relationship with balance, presence, and sacred ecology.
This course runs from October 8-29, 2025, with live classes held on Wednesdays from 9-10:30 AM (PT) via Zoom. Recordings will be available for registrants who miss a session.
