All are welcome to join me for this amazing class. Today 4:00-5:15 PM. Drop in or register on The Sacred Center Eventbrite page.

Harmony Flow
At Common Fence Point Community Center with Interfaith Reverend Shelley Dungan in person and via Zoom. A fusion of Qigong, Tai Chi, and Yin Yoga to harmonize body, mind, and heart—cultivating vitality, balance, flexibility, and relaxation.

Mondays 4:00-5:15 PM
This gentle practice weaves together three powerful traditions:
Qigong – to awaken, cleanse, and enhance life force energy (Qi) while developing functional mobility.

Tai Chi Easy Form – to circulate and refine Qi through slow, flowing, meditative movements.

Yin Yoga – to deepen mindful awareness, stretch the whole body, and rest in restorative stillness.

Together, they create a practice of calm strength, inner and outer balance, and mindful ease. You’ll leave class feeling centered, open, and at peace.
Details:
Suitable for ages 12+ who can get up and down from the floor without assistance.
The first half of class is standing (or seated in a chair); the second half is floor-based.
Please bring: a yoga mat and a thick blanket.
Drop in with cash or register on Eventbrite to use a credit card. Sliding scale $15-$20.

Please check www.sacred-center.org homepage calendar for specific dates. Questions? email Rev Shelley - yogishelley@sacred-center.org

Friends and Yogi’s, I am leading an off-island retreat tomorrow and grateful to say that my colleague and friend Kate Ward is subbing for me tomorrow, November 8, at the Saturday morning 10:30 class at CFP.

Those who come are in store for a treat as Kate’s area of expertise is somatic yoga which helps heal the central nervous system. 🙏🏽💜🕉️

Greetings Friends,
I am not sure if you are aware, but the Portsmouth Town Council voted 4-3 to install a disc golf course at Glen Park on the night of September 8, 2025 with a two year probationary period. Besides posing a significant liability for all those who use the park, it causes direct interference for those of us who engage in recreational activities there. In fact, the current design would directly conflict with our Tai Chi and yoga classes. I am asking for your support along with that of others in the area as we work together to reject this proposal. If you share my opinion, that the Town Council should say no to disc golf at Glen Park, please sign the petition link below and spread the word. Thank you and I hope to see you soon!

With Love,
Rev Shelley

Say No to Disc Golf at The Glen!
