Wendy Weiss, Connected Being
About Wendy:
I've been interested in human development throughout my entire professional career, beginning with my graduate studies in education and my later work in nonprofits that supported retired and senior volunteers and the spiritual development of children, youth, and adults. In 2017, I folded life coaching into my professional skills and began working 1:1 with people seeking personal growth and transformation. A year later I learned of a modality called biodynamics and began to study and practice this offering. As we continue to grow and evolve as human beings, individually and collectively, my greatest desire is to support each person's innate potential. I believe it's vital that we take the space to slow down, explore what matters most to us, and settle again into being who we really are.
Services:
PARA Coaching
para ~ Originally, the prefix "para-" came from Greek and means "next to" and "side by side" and also a sense of "moving or going beyond"
Pause Attune Reflect Align
PARA Coaching gets to the essence: I know who I am, what my priorities and values are, and how I wish to show up and BE in the world. When we are grounded, centered, and orienting from our True Selves, we are free to express our creative forces and shape the trajectory of our lives. The art of transformation allows us to be exquisitely free in finding the reaches of our human potential and experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful existence.
*Please note: I offer a sliding scale to make this service more accessible to everyone who seeks coaching for their personal growth.
Biodynamic Cranial Approach
1:1 BCA session space is one outside of treatment models, therapeutic intent, or manipulation to body or of energy. Simply put, this is a space of Presence and Stillness in being with the subtle yet potent truth of our body’s innate impulse towards Wholeness. Wholeness as health is one of the core principles of this modality.
Sessions take place in silence, within a spaciousness free of distraction and overt environmental sound. Those receiving in the session lie on a massage table and are supported by pillows and bolsters and swaddled in blankets as needed to create comfortable, easeful relaxation so the human person and body are able to drop into stillness and into deeper and deeper layers of being.
Events:
Biodynamic Group Session
In our spacious 2-hour group session, participants will move between sitting in meditation/quiet stillness, reposing in comfortable supportive “nests” of their own making on the floor, and lying on massage tables. In this biodynamic open session format, Wendy will move as moved by the greater field to be in contact with participants on the tables. The “work” is being worked through all present, whether or not touch contacts are made directly. We are in a group field that is informed by our presence.
Depth over time is how these restorative states, that are always available, are accessed. Together we drop into stillness and into deeper and deeper layers of being. The biodynamic field allows a space for the body’s natural and instinctive processes that need no other assistance or intervention to enact their wisdom.
This event will be offered quarterly at CYC. Wendy is a 3-time graduate of the Touch of Presence® School of Biodynamic Studies. After completing two year long intensives as a student, she continued her studies in the Biodynamic Cranial Approach as an assistant in the 2024/25 intensive. Offered on a sliding scale of $10-$30.
Yoga Nidra
Yoga Nidra is a guided meditation that ushers the body into deep states of relaxation. Known as "psychic sleep" or "alert rest," this type of meditation journeys into the mysterious realm lying between the conscious and dream state. This liminal space or hypnagogic state enables us to effortlessly harness the restorative power of delta brain waves which are typically found in deep, restful sleep. Regular practice of this ancient art contributes to a sense of inner peace and increased mental and physical well being. Offered on the first Wednesday of the month, 3 pm.
Wendy received a 30 hour Yoga Nidra training certificate from Shivashakti School of Yoga in 2019.
