How to be “welcoming to all” in Nia classes now and forever more is an important topic., which also reminds me of growing up in England with the initiative “Sports for all”!
I agree how wonderful to be sensitive, inclusive and understanding. And now is also an important time to not dissolve everything into being the same. We are all unique and I love how Nia creates a space for all.
For example, to creatively find ways to honor participants who do believe, who would like to celebrate the birth and magic of Christ at Christmas time.
To sustain the joys and wonder of the deep meaning of this season for some, and be inclusive to all, this week our public Nia classes were "generic yet grounded with spiritual choice";
Nia routine "Source" | Focus: "Ground | Intent: "connect with the Highest of Highs" ~ so many delicious ways to interpret this 😉....
Then today we’re putting on a special event all about worship, celebration and Christmas.
Everybody is welcome.
We open our doors, arms and heart to all religious backgrounds and beliefs.
Attendees know in advance what to expect.
As the teacher I fully participate, with what is personal and deeply meaningful for me, without the fear of offending someone in class or being inappropriate in my professional role as a Nia teacher trainer.
We will freely sing praise and dance with Jesus for an hour 🙂
50% of all funds collected go towards our Soma Charity: St Jude.
Here’s the playlist (and more) so far, it is 70% complete….
Do you have an all time favorite Christmas song to add to the mix?
I LOVE the way the first few songs weave from one to the next.
