Limited Capacity seats available

Energize Your Soles is an interactive movement experience designed to reconnect you to the foundation of your body: your feet. In this 60-minute workshop, Maria DelliVeneri, MS, LAT, ATC, will guide you through a practical exploration of foot function, awareness, and movement. Through guided walking, movement exploration, and sensory awareness drills, you’ll assess how your feet interact with the ground and how your body responds above them. Participants will then use balance domes and targeted foot release techniques to wake up the muscles, fascia, and sensory pathways of the feet.
Energize Your Soles offers practical tools and a completely new perspective on the foundation beneath you.

Fire Puja (Agni Hotra)

Saturday October 31, 2026 9:00am - 10:00am PDT

Limited Capacity seats available

This ceremony is an ancient Indian ritual that is performed every morning at the ashram, in keeping with Vedic tradition. Its purpose is to invoke the elements of earth, water, fire, air and ether and the essence or Consciousness within which they exist. Fire is a great transformer and what remains when the herbs are burned is their sweet aroma or essence. This and the vibration of the mantras are said to purify the atmosphere and radiate peace.

Together, we will tend to the wounds of loves past and explore the thoughts, feelings, qualities, and experiences that make up your unique vision of beloved partnership. Through scent, sensation, intention, and imagination, you will create your own recipes for love potions, heart salves, and spells designed to help you clarify, embody, and conjure what you desire.

Come with an open heart, a curious mind, and perhaps a little willingness to believe in the impossible.
Your beloved may be closer than you think. ✨

UUFCO, Linus Pauling

Limited Capacity seats available

Samhain marks the moment when the veil between worlds grows thin. It is a time to honor what has passed, release what no longer serves, and listen for the wisdom waiting just beneath the surface.

Join Sharon Balsamo, LPC and Certified Breathwork Facilitator, for a guided Conscious Connected Breathwork ceremony designed to meet this threshold season. Through breath, we'll journey to the space between the seen and unseen, and connect with the love and guidance from our ancestors and spirit helpers.

Drawing on nearly two decades of clinical experience alongside years of leading ceremonies and retreats, Sharon holds a container that is both solid and profound, honoring your own wisdom without judgment or control. An intuitive, self-led practice, Conscious Connected Breathing is grounded enough for those new to Breathwork, and deep enough for those ready to go further. No prior Breathwork experience is necessary. Come as you are, ready to breathe, release, and remember.

Bring a yoga mat, journal, and optional item for our shared ancestor altar (for you to take home with you). Blankets, pillows, eye masks are also optional to bring to create a comfortable space for your body.

Sacred Somatics: Embodied Energy Channeling

Ancient Technology Meets the Emerging Human
See video link for insight into the practice

What if our bodies know more than we realize? Sacred Somatics explores the body’s natural intelligence and what can happen when we slow down, get out of our heads, and really listen. Part education, part demonstration, and part active participation, we’ll explore how somatic awareness, nervous system regulation, energy work, and intuition can support healing, integration, and a deeper relationship with ourselves.

We’ll also explore embodied channeling—a practice of surrendering into the body and allowing sensation, energy, intuition, and spontaneous movement to lead. Participants may experience shaking, stretching, intuitive movement, mudras, yogic-inspired postures, or other forms of expression that arise without being consciously directed. You’ll be invited to experience the practice in your own body and explore it not only as a tool for well-being, but as a pathway to inner knowing and connection with the sacred within.

A little science, a little mystery, and a lot of direct experience.

The Wisdom Beyond

Embark, The Current

Limited Capacity seats available

Many spiritual traditions describe certain times as liminal—moments when the boundary between the seen and unseen feels a little closer. During Día de los Muertos, this idea takes on special meaning as we remember and honor those who have passed.

The Wisdom Beyond is an experiential workshop that invites you to explore that space through intuition, reflection, and connection. Through two guided meditations, intuitive tarot or oracle exploration, and reflective writing, you'll become receptive to whatever may arise from someone who is no longer physically here—a loved one, ancestor, mentor, teacher, or even someone you never personally knew.

As part of the experience, you'll create a personal remembrance candle, drawing on the longstanding tradition of lighting candles for those who have died. In Día de los Muertos traditions, candlelight serves as a beacon, helping guide returning spirits home. Your candle becomes a personal expression of remembrance, connection, and whatever emerges for you during the workshop—something meaningful to take home and light in your own time.

This experience isn't about proving what lies beyond the veil, but creating space to become quiet, curious, and open to what you may receive.

No particular spiritual belief or previous experience with meditation, tarot, or intuitive practices is necessary.
Please bring a journal and pen.
