Sacred Sisters Circle: Three Year Anniversary Celebration!
We are beyond excited to celebrate our 3 Year Anniversary Circle with you! Join us for an evening of joyful movement, art, singing, and celebration as we honor the sacred web of sisterhood we’ve woven together over the years. In the spirit of sacred reciprocity, we’ll share some practices of giving and receiving. Let’s gather in gratitude, celebrate one another, and keep the magic flowing.

Sacred Sisters Circle: The Art of Aliveness

Come awaken your senses, rekindle your vitality, and remember the sacred pulse that connects us all to the vibrant flow of life.
Sacred Sisters Circle: Sacred Self-Love
Join us for an evening of loving on our own bodies, minds, and hearts as we welcome all the parts. Together, we’ll co-create a ritual where every part of you is welcome, especially the ones that feel tender or tough to hold. This will be a space to explore vulnerability and allow shame to loosen its grip. Through dance, self-massage, conversation, and meditation, you’ll be invited to soften, to feel, to be seen. Going into the binds of shame is where we birth self-compassion—not because we fix ourselves, but because we dare to witness and be witnessed.
Rooted in Stillness: Meditation, Mindfulness, and Beyond
Together, we’ll explore meditation through the lens of historical yoga texts while also understanding its benefits from a modern perspective. You'll be introduced to a variety of techniques to help you discover the styles of meditation that best support your unique needs—tools that can help you build and sustain a consistent practice. For some, movement comes more naturally than stillness; for others, stillness can be the greater challenge. We'll acknowledge and honor both experiences.
Sacred Sisters Circle: Sacred Anger
In modern culture, anger often gets a bad rap as a negative or dangerous emotion. However, anger is an inherent, sacred part of being human and being in relationship, supporting authenticity, healthy boundaries, integrity, and protection of dignity for others. Together we'll hone our embodied understanding of anger through somatic practice, discussion, dance, embodied release work, and a forgiveness ritual.
Breathing for Life: Pranayama and the Energy Body
Together, we’ll explore the history of pranayama (breath liberation) through its roots of the ancient yogic texts while also looking at modern scientific studies and anatomical insights into the breath, bridging old and new with curiosity and clarity. You’ll also be introduced to the structures of the subtle body—including the kosha, chakra, and vayu—as a way to understand energy flow. This training offers space to learn, question, integrate, and embody the teachings in your own way. Expect a nourishing blend of lecture, discussion, guided practice, and reflection. Leave with a deeper understanding of pranayama, a renewed connection to your breath, and practical tools to support your practice and teaching.
Sacred Sisters Circle: Breathing with Uncertainty
Join us in ritual around uncertainty. Pema Chodron says, “Staying with uncertainty is how we learn to relax in the midst of chaos." Holding it together softens the impact exponentially. You will be guided with poetic breathwork, gentle movement and practices to explore the teachings of uncertainty. Together we will be with the unknown, the mystery and the possibility all the while breathing tenderly with each other.
