We begin with a grounding meditation led by Gigi Chiarello, founder of Illuminating Source and a dedicated Tea practitioner. As she welcomes the energy of your pet into the space, Gigi gently guides the group into a meditative Tea Ceremony, opening a doorway to presence, inner listening, and connection as we transition into the next part of the practice.
From this centered place, you will move into an embodied yoga experience with Kat Tudor, creative leader of the Smokebrush Foundation. Through movement, stretching, and creative interpretation, Kat gently guides you into a relaxed, expressive state that prepares you for a painting session where you will bring your pet’s essence to life on canvas. All levels are welcome, all supplies are provided, and no art experience is required.
To close, we gather for an optional sharing circle for those wishing to be witnessed in their experience. The ceremony concludes with a guided reflection to help you integrate any inner wisdom that arose as you carry the experience forward.
