Relax, Receive, Release & Recharge! 

This Full Moon in Aries is about connection, flow, focus, creativity and more! We'll be working with the element of water.

Each cycle of the Moon influences us, like the tides of the ocean. Full Moons have a pull on our physical, emotional & energetic bodies, which gives us that extra push and opportunity to release and let go of the things that no-longer serve us. This allows more flow and ease in our life, moving forward. 

Let’s come together to create harmony and balance in our lives, relieving unnecessary pain, discomfort or stress. This invites mental clarity, peace, calm and freedom in our bodies and soul. There’s something about coming together as a group that makes this powerful and potent. This can amplify the experience for everyone and promote overall mind, body, & spiritual well-being.

We start with a 20min coherent breathing technique to help balance our sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system, aiding you into a deeper state of relaxation. For the remainder of the meditation, Melanie will go around, tuning into your energy and gently applying "healing touch energy work" (hands on or off) where intuitively guided. She may also use crystals, stones, blessed water etc...placed on or near you during your mediation. An intuitive selection of music will accompany you in this process.

At the end, we’ll have some time for sharing (optional) and receive an oracle card message for additional guidance. Melanie is very considerate of your comfort on all levels and creates a safe and supportive clear space. This is an opportunity to surrender to the divine flow and deep wisdom that is always present within you.

Bring an intention if you'd like and hand it over to the Divine/God/Creator/Source, along with any "insistence" on the how, what, when, where and who! Be open to receive the abundance and magic of your life!

Dynamic Movement Class: “Dance it out”

This class invites you to let your spirit fly.

Historically, people around the world have expressed themselves by moving together to common rhythms. Our ancestors also danced to promote their health and wellbeing.

Dynamic Movement is a guided meditative practice designed to deepen body awareness, expand your movement vocabulary, and awaken a renewed sense of presence.

Whether you’re seeking clarity, healing, release, or simple joy, you’ll find it here.

Leave your mind at the door along with your shoes—step into the freedom of pure movement.

Each session begins in stillness, allowing the mind to quiet and the body to open. Through guided breathwork, gentle stretching, and music-led movement, we enter a state of discovery and ease. Whatever arises, we dance with it—and in doing so, our world becomes a little brighter.

Benefits often include:

• Release of stress and stored tension

• Improved balance, coordination, and stamina

• Greater mind-body connection

• A sense of lightness, clarity, and joy

This is not a performance—it is a practice of presence. Movements are self-led, with gentle guidance and demonstration provided. Music shapes the journey, supporting spontaneous, embodied expression.

Come explore the depth of your true nature through Dynamic Meditative Movement.

Rejuvenate your joy.

This class will be offered as Free as we explore the possibility!

Receive the loving, nurturing support of Mama Cacao (ceremonial Cacao)!

Ceremonial Cacao is considered to be a sacred ‘heart opening’ plant medicine that has been used by the Mayans and other indigenous cultures of Mesoamerica for thousands of years. It’s specifically used to help with matters of the heart, resolving inner &/or outer conflict.

This beautiful medicinal plant possesses ancient wisdom that can support you on all levels: physical, emotional and spiritual. In addition, it's high in antioxidants (flavonoids), magnesium, copper, selenium, theobromine, anandamide, amino acids and it contains mood-boosting properties which stimulate the production of endorphins such as dopamine and serotonin (your happy hormones!) and more…

The Fall Equinox represents change, death/rebirth, the falling away of the old to create the foundation for the new, balance, going inward and coming back to center, grounding, reflection, and recognizing the beauty or gifts that came from these changes. 

With the changes we're going through collectively and individually, combined with the energy of the Fall equinox, partnered with the New Moon and a partial solar eclipse, we have a Powerful force of supportive energy coming in for us! 

In this gathering, we'll be drinking the loving and nurturing support of Mama Cacao (ceremonial Cacao), followed by a guided meditation and accompanied with music &/or drumming. "Other goodies included!!!"

There’s something about coming together as a group that can amplify the experience for everyone. Bring your intentions and get ready to relax. You're in for a treat.

Joining together in a Full Moon Circle is a way of grounding, centering and receiving higher wisdom. A moon circle is an intentional gathering. The moon reflects our own life path - as we move through different stages and rhythms, so does the moon. The moon quietly influences our daily existence. - it dictates the tides, impacts animal behavior and in astrology the moon rules our emotional state associated with divine feminine energy. Taking the time to connect with the sacred elements that exist within you can be a profound experience. The full moon casts light, illuminating and revealing those areas of your life that might otherwise go unexamined.

Join Melanie as she guides you through a 20min coherent breathing technique to calm the mind and enhance relaxation. Followed by a guided meditation to ground in presence, an invitation to surrender to your Divine Healing Light. Harness the energy of the full moon to release what no longer serves you. Melanie will offer the experience of hands-"on" or "off", gentle healing touch, that deepens your relaxation by releasing any blocked or stuck energy in the body.  She may offer the option of stones &/or crystals to be placed on your body during meditation to promote deep rest & emotional release. An intuitive selection of music will be been chosen to accompany the meditation journey. 

This circle is created as a safe and sacred container for your experience. Healing Touch (hands on or off) will be offered for those that would like to receive it. You may also opt out of any or all energetic aides to your level of comfort. They are not necessary in-order to receive the benefits from this meditation.

Afterwards, we'll close with some time to share your experience (if you'd like). 

When we come together as one, in a group, with the same or similar intention, this can amplify the experience for everyone and promote overall mind, body, & spiritual well-being.

Journey the winding driveway to where the sky meets the Earth in a field of lavender. Feel your shoulders soften as you’ve arrived. Roll out your yoga mat on the beautifully manicured grass between the rows of blooming lavender. A deep inhale of lavender washes away the tension you’ve been carrying. The sounds of nature become the soundtrack. Join Brenda for gentle yoga in the lavender field that will rejuvenate and reenergize your soul. Savasana will be accompanied by a cool lavender towel. This private experience at the farm offers you time to enjoy the serenity before it opens to the public. Following yoga, you'll have the opportunity to meet Owners, Troy and Wendy, to learn about how to grow lavender and the many uses. Perhaps even enjoy some lavender ice cream!

Put down what you’re carrying and kick up your feet to relax with Marie and Anna! Together, Marie and Anna, love to cultivate an experience that feels deeply nurturing.

Marie will walk you thru a calming, relaxing restorative class, while Anna will offer reflexology.

Many of us find ourselves on our feet or with our feet in restricting shoes all day or using repetitive movement with the hands and stress can manifest in the feet and hands.

Reflexology is a unique bodywork practice that involves applying different amounts of pressure to prescribed reflex points of various body parts such as hands, feet, or ears. This treatment is based on a conception that these areas of reflex points, especially the ones that are on the foot, are associated with certain other body structures and is well known for evoking a self-healing response and also for accelerating the functionality of the nervous system. Reflexology retains a balance in the energy flow throughout the body by applying pressure on the reflex points and is hence, known to be a pressure-point massage and not just a foot massage.The benefits of reflexology include its ability to stimulate nerve function, increase energy, stimulate circulation, induce a deep state of relaxation, eliminate toxins, stimulate the central nervous system and more.

Welcome in Summer with an open heart and receive the loving, nurturing support of Mama Cacao (ceremonial Cacao)!

Ceremonial Cacao is considered to be a very sacred ‘heart opening’ plant medicine that has been used by the Mayans and other indigenous cultures of Mesoamerica for thousands of years. It’s specifically used to help with matters of the heart, resolving inner &/or outer conflict.

This beautiful medicinal plant possesses ancient wisdom that can support you on all levels: physical, emotional and spiritual. In addition, it's high in antioxidants (flavonoids), magnesium, copper, selenium, theobromine, anandamide, amino acids and it contains mood-boosting properties which stimulate the production of endorphins such as dopamine and serotonin (your happy hormones!) and more…

We’ll gather together and set our intentions before we begin to drink cacao, followed by a guided Drum Journey meditation.
We’ll finish with some reflection/sharing (optional), and gratitude.

Date: June 20th
Time: 6:00-8:30PM
$35/person

WHAT TO BRING
- Your own mug for Cacao
- Anything to make yourself comfortable on the floor: mat, blankets, pillow. (blankets & bolsters available at the studio)

WHAT TO AVOID PRE-GATHERING

- avoid caffeine intake for six (6) hours before (or longer) as it may be over stimulating and effect connection to the cacao

- avoid mind-altering substance as of now: alcohol, marijuana, psychedelics as they can be over-stimulating or effect connection to cacao (each plant has its own Spirit & Consciousness)

- avoid Dairy Products the day of as they slow down absorption and counteract the antioxidant properties in cacao

WHAT TO CONSIDER POST-GATHERING

- drink lots of water and electrolytes (coconut water is great)

Ceremonial cacao has psychoactive properties (Not psychedelic). It's a gentle, subtle, loving energy that can work with us on a deep level if we're open to it. This is a simple introduction. All that’s required is an open heart and relax …

Joining together in a Full Moon Circle is a way of grounding, centering and receiving higher wisdom. A moon circle is an intentional gathering. The moon reflects our own life path - as we move through different stages and rhythms, so does the moon. The moon quietly influences our daily existence. - it dictates the tides, impacts animal behavior and in astrology the moon rules our emotional state associated with divine feminine energy. Taking the time to connect with the sacred elements that exist within you can be a profound experience. The full moon casts light, illuminating and revealing those areas of your life that might otherwise go unexamined.

Join Melanie as she guides you through a 20min coherent breathing technique to calm the mind and enhance relaxation. Followed by a guided meditation to ground in presence, an invitation to surrender to your Divine Healing Light. Harness the energy of the full moon to release what no longer serves you. Melanie will offer the experience of hands-"on" or "off", gentle healing touch, that deepens your relaxation by releasing any blocked or stuck energy in the body.  She may offer the option of stones &/or crystals to be placed on your body during meditation to promote deep rest & emotional release. An intuitive selection of music will be been chosen to accompany the meditation journey. 

This circle is created as a safe and sacred container for your experience. Healing Touch (hands on or off) will be offered for those that would like to receive it. You may also opt out of any or all energetic aides to your level of comfort. They are not necessary in-order to receive the benefits from this meditation.

Afterwards, we'll close with some time to share your experience (if you'd like). 

When we come together as one, in a group, with the same or similar intention, this can amplify the experience for everyone and promote overall mind, body, & spiritual well-being. 

Date: May 16 at 6-8:30pm
