Cacao & Sound A Journey with the Energy of Keme with Johanna Olivas
Saturday, September 27th
3:00 pm - 4:30 pm EST | In-Studio | Cost: $40
Join us for a heart-opening ceremony that blends the sacred medicine of cacao with a restorative sound journey, guided by the energy of Keme in the Mayan Cholq’ij calendar- a day of ancestral connection, release, and spiritual renewal.
​
We’ll begin with a ceremonial cup of cacao to soften into presence, followed by intention setting and gentle movement. We will flow into an immersive sound bath using crystal alchemy bowls and other instruments, supporting deep rest and emotional release.
​
Keme reminds us that healing ripples across time. Together, we honor what we carry, what we’re ready to release, and the wisdom waiting to be remembered.
​
All are welcome.
Four Seasons of Forest Bathing
with Susan West Montgomery
Saturday, September 20th | 3:00pm - 4:30pm EST | Rock Creek Park | $55
Follow the Wheel of the Year with seasonal forest bathing sessions in Rock Creek Park!
Shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing, is a Japanese wellness practice that helps individuals access the healing properties of nature.
These can be especially powerful during the times of transition offered by the changing seasons. Each walk will follow a different route, but all will allow us to experience this familiar landscape at
different times of the year.
You will be invited to slow down, to be curious, and to touch, smell, hear, and see nature more fully. The walks will not be strenuous but requires the ability to walk a mile or so on uneven surfaces.

Radiant Rhythms Ecstatic Dance with Clara Fang
Saturday, October 4th | 6:45pm - 9pm EST | In-Studio | $30
Ecstatic dance is an exceptional wellness practice exploring free expression through movement in a substance-free, facilitated, and inclusive environment. In ecstatic dance, there are no set steps or structures, you move however you feel moved to move.
Do you feel like doing graceful twirls by yourself or with a partner? Stomp and punch the air? Rock back and forth on your back? Put your legs up against a wall? Curl up in a corner? You do anything you want that doesn't interfere with others' self expression.
In ecstatic dance, we co-create a safe space where everyone is free to be their authentic selves. The result is mental clarity, emotional freedom, and physical embodiment.
The benefits of ecstatic dance include:
-
Stress and tension relief
-
Mindfulness and relaxation
-
Somatic healing
-
Self-expression
-
Exercise and play
-
Community and connection
​
An Inclusive Space: All ages, genders, sexual orientation, and abilities welcome.

Autumn Harvest with James Foulkes
Saturday, October 25th | 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm EST | In-Studio | Cost: $60
As we enter Autumn, we harvest the growth of Spring and Summer, and like the trees, bring our energy inward to lighten up and release old "leaves," which we no longer need.
​
Autumn is the most potent season for intuition and vision and associated with the Metal Element in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). In this workshop we are to focus on rejuvenating and invigorating the Organs and Meridians (energy channels) of the Metal Element - the Lungs and Intestines and the transmutation of their negative emotional characteristics.
​
The Metal energy of Autumn is an expression of new Yin. We will balance the Yin nature of the gentle cleansing asana stretches and breathwork with complementary Yang practices, whilst using meditation, journeying and deep inward listening to open to our intuitive gifts.
