Next full moon hike is March 9th! Join Sammy Kanofsky of Soul|Light Ecotherapy for a full moon hike in honor of the last full moon of winter. Come for community and ritual, along with hot drinks and time to reflect in nature. Night time offers a unique energy to engage the senses and connect with intuition, while March brings us the "worm moon" -- offering reawakening and new budding insights for springtime.

While everyone else is rushing to the stores to get their Black Friday deals, we’ll be turning to Nature in an act of sacred protest. We don’t need more things. The stuff we buy has a huge impact on our planet’s health. Instead, let’s tune in to what is really going on and how we really feel. This promises to be a morning filled with gratitude and the best presents that we could ever give and receive - PRESENCE.

20% of profits will go to SF Marin Food Bank

In this salon, our community will explore these themes and deepen our understanding of both why and how engaging multiple forms of knowing can help us navigate these times of accelerating change. Specific themes may include:

- How we can cultivate more non-analytic modes of knowing - our intuition muscle, so to speak

- How common sense and the “still-quiet voice of wisdom” can give us more, as well as potentially better, information about how to act

- Cognitive neuroscientific perspectives on multiple modes of thought

- How different modes of knowing relate to different rhythms and timescales

- Why complex systems and hyperobjects are unanalyzable yet still tractable

- Why indigenous perspectives on participatory learning provide novel insight

( æthos ) is a multidisciplinary collective of creatives, strategists, and operators whose work spans education, media, and organizational change in service of beauty and goodness. Our Fall 2019 Salon Series focus is “On Mythcraft” and will culminate in a multi-day workshop for narrative builders in early 2020. Our previous workshop, On Guildcraft, was on new modes of collective organizing.

Purusha Yoga Studio (3048 Claremont Ave, Berkeley CA

Join us for an urban forest bath to release anxiety and tension, and drop into a deeper heart space that will allow for potent reflection and nourishing self-love. Forest bathing is based on the medicinal Japanese practice of shinrin yoku (translation: taking in the forest atmosphere), which has been proven to relieve tension, lower cortisol, increase a sense of awe & wonder, and provide an immune boost lasting up to three weeks. Experienced forest bather Samantha Kanofsky will guide you on a beautiful autumn forest bath on a nearby urban trail that will awaken the senses and quiet the mind, offering time for both private reflection and sharing in group council. Afterwards, we’ll have a chance to warm up our bodies in the studio with somatic movement practice, journal or draw our learnings, and integrate the wisdom we’ve harvested through silent meditation.

All ages and fitness levels are welcome! Tickets will be available at the door if any remain, but to confirm your place, please send sliding scale $45-60 via Paypal to samantha.kanofsky@gmail.com or Vemmo to @samantha-kanofsky.

Meet Sammy

Sammy Kanofsky is a writer, educator, and lover of trees. After spending much of her Saturn returns being nourished by the redwood groves of the Berkeley Hills, she began to hear the Earth call out for reciprocal care and attention. She holds a certificate in Eco-Psychology through the Holos Institute and recently launched SoulLight Communications: a company that helps people return to their divine interconnectedness through forest bathing and awareness-based nature-connection classes, workshops, and retreats.

Sammy believes that restoring our innate relationship with nature requires listening deeply to the small voice inside, wherein lies the key to our healing. She loves holding space and creating permission for human beings to play, express, and discover their natural wisdom in reciprocity with the natural world.
