Community Connections: Being with Joy + Grief

CANCELLED DUE TO RAIN Join us for August's Community Connection event at Piccolo Park

This event is part of our Community Connections program - a monthly gathering that's open to all and free for BYMC members.


This month's Community Connections' gathering is a celebration of life and a space to process the collective grief we experience during wildfire season. Beauty and grief; joy and despair; like wildfire can cause intense destruction as well as support fertile soils for new growth. Join us to process climate grief through poetry, reflection prompts and gentle yoga practice all within the beautiful outdoor setting of Piccolo Park.


We'll provide cold brew, treats, and space for getting to know one another. You will be guided to tune into the late-summer season, as well as to what you might need at the moment. Want to lie on your back all class? Want to move with your breath? Want to sit with eyes closed listening to the trees? You'll be invited through each of those places and are encouraged to stay longer when you want to. This is for you, for us, to process, feel, and integrate all the joy and grief of loving and being in and of nature.


Please bring:

  • a yoga mat, towel or blanket to practice on

  • a bottle of water

  • yourself, as you are

About Kate Skaggs (she/they)

A curiosity of exploring inner and outer landscapes gently pulled me into practicing yoga many years ago. The practice offered a small space in the day to slow down, be more deliberate about where I focused my attention, and heal.


I am actively, humbly, working to dismantle my internalized implicit biases but know that I will make mistakes; accountability and integrity matter to me and I am working to grow those skills when the impact of my words or actions cause harm. The linkage of yoga philosophy to the rest of life is what I hope to hold space for others to explore through asana (postures) in a similar way; taking experiences from one’s own mat back out into daily life.


I am especially passionate about offering classes accessible to people who are curious about yoga and am dedicated to providing many different suggestions for ways of engaging with these practices.
