2019 Offerings
~2020 Offerings TBA soon~
Massage / Bodywork
With Melissa Newhall & Ayla Thurmond
Experience the joy of giving and receiving healing through touch.
The bodymind strives for balance and is it's own incredible healer. Join this workshop to learn how to harness that inner healer by deeply listening to the needs of the individual who is receiving, while taking care of yourself. Drop in, breathe, and witness the magic that unfolds.
This class will offer a wide range of techniques and skills that include deep tissue release, movement, stretching, and energy work.
Somatic Agency
With Fred Mitouer
Sessions in Somatic Agency are explorations of self through conscious touch. They can be viewed as the art of "peace making" between the inner human being and the physical body. Unlike massage and most styles of bodywork, which have physical goals as their primary focus, this approach is aimed at awareness itself. The focus is upon the causal place in the physical body where unconscious beliefs, repressed memory and charged unresolved emotional experience coexist. The reactivity and dynamic tension are accessed through the breath, subtle energy fields and deep tissue manipulation of the musculature. The dynamic tension leads us into a healing zone I refer to as "The Fertile Wound". Within this zone, perceptions are clearer, meaningfulness grows deeper and a spirit of lightness and confidence establishes itself within the structures of the individual's body and psyche.
Sound Healing & Drum Workshop
With Thomas Cee
Thomas Cee intuitively utilizes a wide variety of instruments and cultural traditions to guide people into meditation and relaxation . Here peaceful states of consciousness can be achieved to help manifest healing, growth, blessings, and self actualization.
Sound is derived from a wide range of sources including Tibetan and Crystal singing bowls, Native American flutes and drums. Aboriginal and crystal didgeridoos, tongue drums, chimes, bells, shakers, and voice. He also is practiced at participating and leading drum circles with djembe and cajon.
Restorative Yoga
With Emily McConnell
Classes include building strength and flexibility with synchronized breath and movement sequences, often incorporating modified sun or moon salutations. It will include the opportunity for essential oil treatment in Savasana.
Restorative Yoga is intended to deeply relax and nourish the mind-body, and to create enough support for the body to hold postures (asana) in a completely relaxed state. This allows one to receive the pose, rather than do the pose.
All classes focus on reducing stress, anxiety, depression & headaches.

Conscious and Connected Breathwork
With Ian Stratton
What is Conscious and Connected Breathing?
Conscious, connected breath is about waking up. Focusing on our breath for any amount of time wakes up our cells, opens energetic pathways, and allows for shifts and movements within us. This movement can help us process stored, stagnant emotions and release them. When we spend this time connecting with ourselves, we can often reach deep, numinous states of awareness. Describing this practice is challenging because it is truly unique to each individual, in each session. The breath is powerful, the work is meaningful, and it is always available to us.

Yin is a quiet introspective practice where students hold postures for 3-5 minutes to gradually target connective tissues such as the joints, ligaments and fascia of the body.

Activating Your Inner Muse
With Blake More
It is only through the heart we can touch the sky. ~ Rumi
Like everything in the universe, we are vibrant, vibrating beings. A vast configuration of water, light, limbs and ideas, many of us are acknowledging our calling. We have always known we were here for a purpose, and now we can no longer keep that purpose at a distance. It is time to activate; we are ready to release the fear that told us to hide our true selves, lest we fall victim to the persecution too many of those throughout history experienced as they attempted to lead humanity into its natural state of peace and harmony, love and compassion.

Micro Medicine
With Francesca Salcido

I’ll be sharing my experience and my body of knowledge with microdosing to get out of depression and compulsive behavior.
