Embracing Your Aliveness is a mini retreat designed to interrupt that pattern — a guided pause where you can drop out of your head\, settle into your body\, and remember what it feels like to actually be present in your own life. \nSet against the natural beauty of Burritt on the Mountain\, this experience blends nervous system regulation and somatic practices with life coach Maria Brito.  Maria’s coaching style has been called raw\, real and transformational.  No agenda to perform\, nothing to fix\, just permission to slow down and come home to yourself. \nWho This Is For \nThis workshop is for anyone who feels like they’re constantly “on”.  The woman who takes care of everyone else and rarely stops to ask what she needs\, the professional running on adrenaline and calling it productivity\, the person who senses they’re disconnected from their own body but isn’t sure how to find their way back. \nYou don’t need any experience at all!  This will be like dipping your toes into what it would feel like to go on any of Maria’s worldwide retreats. All you need is the willingness to show up and be still for a couple of hours\, bring an open mind and heart and get ready to learn some powerful life-hacking tools. If you’re craving rest that goes deeper than a nap\, and connection that goes deeper than small talk\, this is for you. \nAbout Maria \nLife Coach Maria Brito is back again to share her amazing mini retreat experience — one that’s been called life-changing by the women who’ve been through it. This gathering has sold out every single time\, and spots go quickly\, so you won’t want to miss it.  You can learn more about Maria by visiting her website www.Awakenwithmaria.com.

(If you are not able to return to glaze your pieces\, your instructor can apply the glaze of your choice.) \nPlease keep in mind that throwing on the pottery wheel is a skill that can take many years to master. This is an opportunity to get your hands dirty and see what wheel throwing is all about. This is a great class for someone who has never tried a wheel or for students who have taken our “Test Drive” class and want to progress even more. Participants will have the option to keep one to two of your creations to be fired and glazed. \n*There are many variables during the drying and firing process and pieces can crack or even explode.
