Step into the rich religious worlds that gave rise to today's popular wellness practices, and discover how their original meanings can deepen the way we engage with them now. Drawing on her book Beyond Wellness, Liz Bucar reveals how separating yoga, mindfulness, fasting, and food purity practices from their sacred contexts transformed not only their meanings but also their power.
Through vivid stories, guided reflection, small-group conversation, and embodied exercises, you experience these traditions with greater historical depth and ethical clarity. Gain the insight to shape your own practices with deeper intention, integrity, and awareness of the traditions from which they emerge.
Who Should Attend? All are welcome. This workshop is for anyone curious about the deeper histories of wellness practices—from dedicated practitioners and yoga teachers to spiritual seekers and wellness professionals. No background in religion is required, and movement components are gentle and accessible.
