STRUCTURAL ENERGETICS: An integrated Mind-Body Practice to Transform Health
How do we use Movement and Meditation to restore balance and heal deep-seated wounds or illness?
How do we revision exercise and mental focus to understand its profound implications for mind-body health?
Merrill Page and Shana Walt team up to offer an inspired series of earth-based practices that make medicine out of movement and meditation. Each of them are informed by a lifetime of skilled application in Mindbody disciplines, and bring expertise, understanding, creativity and inspiration to the practice.
Classes are designed to reflect seasonal patterns and how they relate to the nervous system, mental and physical health. With attention to muscle, organs and energetics, their carefully crafted classes treat root issues with simple movement and mental directives. Themes reflect energetic patterns and are aligned with intentions to help you chart your course for the day, for the week, for the month and for the year ahead.
Movement and Meditation, offered in-person every second Sunday of the month, and via zoom the following Thursday, won’t just leave you feeling better, but put you on course to reclaim health and wellness in all areas of your life. Come explore your body and how your nervous system works with

Ancient systems of wellness and healing such as Ayurveda and Chinese Medicine were born out of Spiritual practices. They extended insights of spiritual disciplines into mental, emotional and physical ones. These were linked to the elemental world in nature as well, and connected to cyclical, seasonal patterns. Our classes reflect these roots and emphasize the mental and physical aspects that are most pronounced or vulnerable in any given month. We show how to support them using movement and meditation.
