$50.00 Skill In Action (2023)
Join Skill in Action Facilitators, Shakira B. Bethea (she/her) and Garrett Jurss (he/they), for a three-hour, online workshop designed to deepen your awareness of the various identities you embody, cultural conditioning and its impact on you and others, and how systems of power affect our well-being. Through asana, meditation, and discussion we will:
— explore how to harness your individual power and our collective power to make social change.
— connect with our inner fire, or agni, to gain clarity about our actions and their alignment with our higher purpose, all in-service of our collective humanity
— build a deeper connection to self, your community and all beings.
This continuing education class is aimed at teachers and those currently enrolled in a teacher training program and will include a dharma talk, meditation, asana, and discussion.

Garret Jurss
Garrett (he/they) is a yoga and meditation guide living on the land of the Cherokee, Catawba, and Miccosukee people colonized as Greenville, SC. He believes that yoga is a practice of liberation, and he seeks to create spaces for people to slow down, invite in curiosity, and explore new possibilities. Garrett is committed to sharing practices that help people care for themselves and their communities because he believes that everything is interconnected. We’re stronger together, and yoga can teach us how to work collectively to disrupt and dismantle the systems of power and oppression that prevent all of us from thriving and being well. You can connect with Garrett on Instagram @garrettjurss or at garrettjurss.com.
