🌿Wednesday Meditation | 6:00 PM

This week, we will gently explore low back relief and the practice of resting awareness.

We’ll begin with subtle, supportive movement to ease tension in the low back before settling into meditation. Rather than focusing on the breath or a visualization, this practice invites the mind to truly rest. Thoughts may arise—as they naturally do—but instead of pulling us away, we’ll practice allowing them to drift by, returning again and again to simple awareness.

This is an opportunity to soften, listen deeply, and discover what it feels like to rest without needing to fix, control, or strive.

Whether you’re carrying physical tension, mental fatigue, or simply longing for a quiet pause in your week, you’re warmly welcome.

🗓 Wednesday | 6:00 PM

Dear Ahava Collective Community,

I haven’t written in a little while, and recently I found myself reflecting on something that shifted the way I think about self-care and what it really means to show up for ourselves.

For a long time, I thought I knew what self-love and self-care looked like.

I thought it meant doing the right things. Resting enough. Moving enough. Meditating enough. Eating well. Protecting my peace.

But recently, it dawned on me that maybe self-care is something different entirely.

Maybe self-care is actually the process in which we get to know ourselves.

Take a moment with that.

Self-care is the process in which we get to know ourselves.

And what that looks like is always changing in relation to who we are and where we are each and every new day.

Some days care looks like movement.Some days it looks like rest.Some days it looks like saying yes.Some days it looks like saying no.

To keep showing up and checking in regularly is to know and care for ourselves.

And maybe that’s how we really learn to love.

Not by getting it right. Not by becoming some perfected version of ourselves.

But by staying curious enough to keep meeting ourselves where we are.

This Sunday at 10:00 AM, I’d love to invite you to join me for practice.

No need to be flexible. No need to be in the right mood. No need to feel ready.

Just come as you are.

The hardest part is showing up.

I’ll meet you there.

With love,

Nichol

Dear Community,

After some thoughtful reflection and intention, we’ve decided to slow things down for the month of May. This pause will give us the space to explore some transitions as we look ahead to summer and beyond.

Our final classes for April will be:

Wednesday 6pm with Nichol (tonight)
Saturday 9am with Adrienne
Sunday 10am with Nichol
Tuesday 6pm with Adrienne

While we’ll miss gathering with you in the studio, this feels like a meaningful opportunity to take a collective breath—creating space for clarity, creativity, and alignment in what comes next.

While this may feel sudden, sometimes life brings us unexpected opportunities to practice patience, trust, and non-attachment. I’ve been reflecting a lot on Rumi’s poem The Guest House, and its reminder that every experience—especially the ones we don’t anticipate—arrives with something to teach us if we are willing to stay open.

The act of a gentle pause is powerful. The heart of this community remains strong, and we are deeply grateful for each of you who continue to show up with openness, trust, and presence.

Thank you for being part of this space. We’re looking forward to sharing what comes next and returning with renewed energy and intention for the summer season.

With love and gratitude,
Nichol & Adrienne

The Guest House

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.

Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
