Daily Dose of Togetherness: Prototype w/ Jeannie Blaustein and Teresa Yung
Break down walls, connect with your digital neighbors, and lift each other up. Featuring Reimagine board chair Jeannie Blaustein and meditation leader Teresa Yung. All times are PACIFIC TIME. Limited space is available as these are interactive sessions with small breakout groups.
Join our pilot virtual meet-up this Friday, March 20, from 12-12:50 PT to reframe the virtual landscape from distance and isolation to togetherness, connection and community. We will be led in a guided meditation by yoga and wellness teacher Teresa Yung, that helps us connect back to the body, ground into safety and stability, and create space for all the happenings and uncertainties in the world around us, leading to calm, compassion, connection, and presence. Jeannie Blaustein, Founding Board Chair of Reimagine, will then share a reflection before we move into small breakout groups.
Teresa Yung is a San Francisco based yoga instructor, wellness teacher, and community builder. Her everyday practices are based in presence, breath, and awareness. She is passionate about bringing emotional wellbeing to her communities and beyond. You can connect to her and her online community, Our Virtual Wellness Studio where facilitators from around the world offer virtual experiences from yoga, meditation, breathwork, cacao, workshops, dance, forest bathing, voice activation and more so that we may continue to be together, regardless of distance.
