Cultivate self-love and mindfulness practices at \u201cBecause You’re Beautiful Live A Moment,\u201d a four-hour workshop presented by Toni Childs and Deborah Greene. Childs, Emmy winner and three-time Grammy nominated recording artist and yoga teacher, has joined forces with Greene, CEO and founder of\u00a0LiveaMoment.com,\u00a0to construct an incredibly powerful event aimed at embracing and growing the beauty of humanity. The workshop will take place from 6-10 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 14, at Carol\u2019s Dollar Mountain Lodge in Sun Valley.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis workshop is a celebration of life,\u201d Childs said. \u201cIt\u2019s a very different kind of yoga experience because I\u2019m singing and we\u2019re dancing and celebrating to heat up our bodies. The session was created around the song \u2018Because You\u2019re Beautiful\u2019 that won an Emmy in 2004. The song is really powerful.\u201d<\/p>\n
In 2003, playwright Eve Ensler (renowned author of \u201cThe Vagina Monologues\u201d) asked Childs to write an anthem that would inspire people to end violence against women and girls for her documentary, \u201cUntil the Violence Stops.\u201d The song is central to this unique yoga offering.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I started touring with this song, I noticed many of the audience members looked checked out, so I felt I really needed to bring them onto the stage and sing directly to them,\u201d Childs explained. \u201cIn that vulnerable moment of being onstage with me I could see how deep the song penetrated into them. So, I wanted to create a safe place where we could be together and people could feel safe in connecting to who they are. That\u2019s how this workshop manifested.\u201d<\/p>\n
Greene has joined Childs on the \u201cBecause You’re Beautiful\u201d tour to share her\u00a0\u201cThree Feet of Peace\u201d initiative\u00a0and give participants an opportunity to express what peace means to them on camera.<\/p>\n \u201cDeborah\u2019s piece is about how we can create three feet of peace inside ourselves,\u201d Childs said. \u201cIf you can create three feet of peace, and I can create three feet of peace, and someone else can do it, together we can change the tonality of the world. She gives people a chance, on camera, to say what their experience is with regards to connecting in with this aspect of themselves. It\u2019s right on message with what I\u2019m sensing and feeling, so I wanted to join forces with her.\u201d\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The two women have visited 20 countries and 40-plus cities so far, connecting with the people there and spreading the message of \u201cloving up.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe have a beauty wound,\u201d Childs articulated. \u201cHumanity needs to be loved up, and what I\u2019m doing is loving people up \u2013 singing to them about how beautiful we are and giving a chance to connect to this song. By the end of this \u2018play date,\u2019 everyone is usually hugging and kissing each other and feeling relaxed, safe and connected. From that place, we can start to make a beautiful life for ourselves and let go of the things holding us back.\u201d<\/p>\n The cost to attend this celebration of life is $40 and participation numbers are strictly limited.
