About Dede Boyd, MA, RYT 500
Dede brings a unique blend of skills, experience, and expertise to her work as a Masters-Level Counselor, holding certifications for school social work, guidance counseling, and special education. She has extensive experience in both school and outpatient settings in substance abuse and trauma.
Dede is a graduate of the 200- and 500-hour Embodyoga® teacher training with Patty Townsend at Yoga Center Amherst. Embodyoga® is an innovative and exciting approach to the practice of yoga informed by cutting-edge study in the field of body awareness. Through the process of “embodied inquiry,” [questioning, sensing, and witnessing every aspect of consciousness as it expresses through the body-mind] an intimate self-knowledge and self-transformation arises.
Dede is a Relax and Renew I® Trainer and completed her training with Judith Hanson Lasater at Kripalu. Dede teaches Restorative Yoga which offers the body a chance to rest deeply and revitalize. Restorative yoga can help if you are feeling fatigued, and/or stressed from daily activities, so you can tune into your body and find stillness. Many of the asana practices are simple and accessible for people of all ages and in all states of health, using props that are readily available—like pillows and chairs. These deeply relaxing poses help you rebalance your mind and body and create feelings of well-being and counteract the effects of chronic stress.
Dede completed her training with Lauren Walker and is a certified Energy Medicine Yoga® instructor. She is now working on her Advanced Teacher Training for EMYoga . Energy Medicine Yoga® is an integrative practice uniting ancient healing methods with modern science. Classic yoga postures are woven and paired with Energy Medicine techniques to communicate with the body in its own language and innate wisdom. By focusing on your body as a living system of energy, you are empowered to self-heal, thrive and flow in the life you are meant to live.
Dede invites students to find their own individual expression in their practice, using breath and intuition as a guide. Her classes focus on developing inner sensitivity to the body and creating harmony and balance in mind, body, and spirit. Dede brings enthusiasm and her own inner resources of love and joy to encourage students to be curious about what moves them from the inside out.
All are invited to join St. John in the Wilderness for any or all of our Lenten Series sessions, to take place each Thursday evening in Lent. The evenings each have three offerings, all of which are open to the public with adults and youth most welcome. You do not have to be present for all three portions of the event to participate. See below for details.
-
Evening Prayer at 6:00 in the Atrium Chapel of the Parish Hall
-
Dinner at 6:30 in the Parish Hall – RSVP required below – $8/person or $20/family of 3+
-
Program from 7:00 to 8:00 in the Parish Hall, or join via Zoom with RSVP
Our Lenten program this year will be led by the Sisters of the Community of St. Mary. These Episcopal Nuns live at their convent in Sewanee, TN and are members of a monastic movement that goes back to 1865 when their order was started in New York. The sisters will take turns sharing with us the richness of their ancient monastic way of life. Together we will learn about their Benedictine way of living that includes prayers, work, radical hospitality, rich community, accountability, and more. While many think of monks and nuns as being something restricted to the Roman Catholic Church, the Episcopal Church has a long history of monastic life that continues to influence our churches to this day.
For the first session on March 3, we will host the Prioress of the Community of St. Mary, Sister Madeleine Mary, who will travel from Sewanee to be with us. Sister Madeleine Mary has been living in religious life for over 50 years having entered the cloister after teaching middle school in New York and spending time advocating for environmental justice issues.
In the sessions following on March 10, March 17, March 24, March 31, and April 7, we will meet in person at the Parish Hall to gather for a virtual visit with other Sisters from the Order, including Sister Hannah Winkler, who made her life profession in January 2021, and Sister Elizabeth Grace, who will share on the Rule of St. Benedict’s emphasis on humility. You may also participate on Zoom for any of the sessions, but we will hope you will join us in person if you can. Click here to sign up to be emailed a Zoom link.
All are also invited to join us for Evening Prayer in the Atrium Chapel of the Parish Hall at 6:00pm on each Thursday in Lent (March 3 – April 7). Dinner follows at 6:30pm in the Parish Hall. RSVP and pay for dinner by clicking one of the boxes below by Tuesday of each week so food is not wasted. Masks will be required except when eating.
Sister Madeleine Mary will also be preaching at St. John in the Wilderness on Sunday, March 6, at the 8:45 and 11:00 services. Please join us as we journey through Lent together.
