In this stand-alone gathering, we come together to practice being witness to both our own grief as well as the grief of others. The session offers an intimate, safe container for emotions to be felt, expressed, shared and healed in the presence of community. The process involves establishing a group container, guided centering meditation, reflective journaling, mindful group sharing, and an integration at the end. You are invited to come as you are, regardless of your type of loss or how much time has passed.

Reiki Sound Journey

Reiki Sound Journey
Led by Ryann Haworth
4:30-6p
Saturday, June 20th
$33-$44 sliding scale
.

Root into the earth, Rise with the Sun: A sacred pause to rest, re-align and shine. This month, we gather in reverence honoring the magnificent Sun. Led by prayer, reflection, Reiki, and sound medicine, we celebrate the Summer Solstice and her potent energies of abundance, growth, renewal, and radiant light. Together, we create space to soften, receive, and reconnect with ourselves, our community, and our inner wisdom.

.

Ryann is an intuitive energy healer who connects with the mind, body, and soul, serving as a facilitator with the divine to help both people and pets heal, grow, and thrive. In this context, “healing” means bringing movement to stagnant, trapped energy that no longer serves the body through Reikiand Sound Medicine. Using a variety of instruments, Ryann creates vibrations while Reiki guides her in drawing in vibrant life energy – the same energy that tells a flower to bloom, a leaf to grow, a fire to spark, a baby to cry. Throughout her sessions, she provides guidance on breath, visualizations, and meditation, helping individuals and groups allow energy to flow freely. This process more than often leaves the receiver feeling refreshed and empowered, ready to flourish on their unique journey.

Aware & Ready
2026-06-21 14:00 - 15:00 | Everyday People Yoga, 352 W. 12th Ave., Eugene, 97401
Aware & Ready
With Bob Heinemann
2-3pm
Sunday, June 21st
$35

.

Aware & Ready is a 60-minute women’s safety workshop built around one core idea: real personal safety begins with awareness, not force.
.
This is not a martial arts class. There is no sparring, no physical intensity, and no prior experience required. Just a supportive, unhurried environment where every participant moves at her own pace. The workshop focuses on the skills that matter most in everyday life; how to read your surroundings with calm clarity, how to recognize and avoid threatening situations before they escalate, and how to navigate the psychological and emotional responses that arise under stress. We explore de-escalation, avoidance, and grounded awareness that becomes second nature with practice.
.
Participants leave not with a heightened sense of danger, but with a quieter, more confident relationship with their own safety.

.

Bob Heinemann has been teaching martial arts and self-defense to students ages 4-70 for 25+ years. His background is in Filipino Martial Arts, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai, Jeet Kune Do, Kickboxing, Women’s Self-defense instructor under MKG Martial Arts International, and Use of Force certified instructor through WA State. He has a genuine passion for empowering people and guiding them through their own self discovery.

"What is Delight" A Dyad Meditation Experience
2026-06-28 14:00 - 16:00 | Everyday People Yoga, 352 W. 12th Ave., Eugene, 97401
“What is Delight” A Dyad Meditation Experience
Led by Julynel Kerzner
2-4p
Sunday, June 28th
$22-$44 sliding scale
.

The intention of this experience is to create a space where delight and joy become the center of our attention. Together, participants will be invited inward to explore what delight truly means to them — how delight is felt within the body, when it comes alive, and what allows us to feel deeply connected to aliveness, beauty, and presence.
.
Dyad Meditation is a contemplative relational practice rooted in the Zen Buddhist tradition. Through the use of a koan — a contemplative question offered not to be solved intellectually, but experienced directly — participants are invited into a process of inquiry, presence, and honest expression.
.
For this experience, the koan “What is Delight?” will be explored in pairs. Participants will take turns listening deeply and communicating what naturally arises through contemplation. Dyad Meditation is often understood as a form of communicated meditation — a practice that invites us to speak from immediate experience rather than analysis or performance. It is an opportunity to slow down, listen inwardly, and express what emerges from the heart in the presence of another.
.
Following the dyad practice, participants will be guided into journaling, reflection, and group discussion as a way to integrate the experience together in community.

.
Julynel Kerzner is a Zen Buddhist practitioner who has devoted the past five years to the path of practice, presence, and deep inner listening. Rooted in the understanding that connection itself can be a spiritual practice, she has spent the last four years working closely with the Dyad Meditation structure, cultivating a profound reverence for heart-centered connection, the art of listening, nonviolent communication, and mindfulness.
