NEW Yin Yoga class on Monday evenings at 6:30pm with new facilitator, Emily Sanchez
$44 per person discounted packages available
We are thrilled to have Emily Sanchez as a guest facilitator of Yin Yoga.
Emily believes the body holds immense wisdom, and that one of the kindest things we can do is give ourselves permission to slow down, turn inwards, and listen. She believes that it is through conscious movement, intention, and learning to navigate our edge that we come to know ourselves deeply.
Her Yin Yoga classes are taught in a supportive, trauma-informed way and completely align with our own way of teaching yin, combining sound, aromatherapy and movement.
Each student is empowered to explore at their own pace, to trust what they feel, and to treat themselves with the utmost care. Her hope is that every student leaves feeling more at home in their body, and with a little more room for joy.
She is a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200) and a CAMTC Certified Massage Therapist. Her yoga training includes trauma-informed practice and Yin Yoga.

11/6-8 | VISION QUEST
Grouse Ridge, Sierra Nevada Mountains
8 Spots
Left
Each year we travel to a new remote wilderness location and utilize the weekend to go deep into ourselves while practicing silence, connecting with the earth and fasting from food and devices - all to support a true and lasting excavation of Self. You will be supported and guided throughout the weekend by Dr. Teismann. This quest is held with a small group of 8 - 12 people to facilitate a loving, intimate and supportive space for you to wander alone and then come back together to share in community. You bring your own camping gear, sleeping bags, etc. We provide a light snack Friday night - no food Saturday as we will be fasting that entire day, and we also provide a shared light breakfast Sunday morning. We would love to have you join us on this amazing retreat into nature. Contact us for more information.

“A New Earth” by Eckhart Tolle
Every other Wednesday
1:30pm - 3:00pm | FREE
Eckhart Tolle explores how humanity’s identification with ego creates suffering, conflict, and disconnection. By awakening to present-moment awareness, releasing compulsive thought, and recognizing our shared essence, individuals can transform themselves, contribute to collective consciousness, and help create a peaceful world.

11/20 | “Journey Into Gratitude”
a 2-hour Sound Healing with Special Guest, Lara Sweazey
A Meditative Sound Journey & Blue Lotus Tea Ceremony
6:30pm - 8:30pm | $99 per person
Gratitude is more than a simple thank you. It is a sustained state of appreciation, presence, and connection to the beauty of life.
We begin our journey with blue lotus tea, inviting the body to relax, the mind to quiet, and the heart to open to gratitude.
From this peaceful space, Lara will guide you through a meditation inspired by the beauty of nature and our connection to the world around us.
As we settle into a state of grateful calm, we surrender to an extended meditative sound journey. Allow the waves of sound to carry you into deep rest, creating space for healing, inner wisdom, intuition, and connection with your spiritual guides.
As the sound gently fades, we will gather for a final moment of gratitude and writing honoring the experience and the beauty of simply being alive.
Leave feeling lighter, more peaceful, and deeply connected to yourself and the world around you.
Carry the gratitude. Keep the peace.
