Healthy Acadia invites community members to participate in a free virtual workshop, “Astrological Mindfulness: Relaxation by Zodiac Sign,” on Thursday, Feb. 6 from 5-6 p.m. via Zoom. The event, part of Healthy Acadia’s Monthly Mindfulness series, will feature special guest Julie Daigle.
In this lighthearted workshop, participants will explore relaxation techniques associated with the four elements and three modalities of the Western Zodiac. Bring your sun sign (or your birth date, if you’re unsure of your sign) to discover how these astrological qualities can inform your mindfulness practice.
Those with a deeper understanding of astrology, including knowledge of elements, modalities, and chart aspects, are welcome to use that information during the session. However, no prior astrology experience is needed to attend. The focus is on fostering relaxation and mindfulness in a playful, accessible way — no deep astrological knowledge required.
Daigle brings to this mindfulness workshop nearly 40 years of mind-body-spirit practice, which informs her current classes in yoga nidra and tai chi in coastal Maine; she also brings over 30 years of fascination and exploration with the astrological symbols and narratives we link to astronomical phenomena. Daigle also currently serves as Healthy Acadia’s substance and tobacco prevention manager.
Her favorite piece of space trivia is that dust bunnies are formed in part by inorganic materials brought in from the outside, and a portion of that material is meteorite dust and micrometeorites – “Which means… we have stars under our beds and couches and behind the fridge and on top of the hutch! In this session, we get to bring the stars into our lives in another way as well.”
