Come walk with us as we honor the quiet generosity of the Earth. Together we will step into the living sanctuary that Mother Earth offers so freely; breathing, listening, and remembering what it feels like to simply be alive. Surrounded by trees, fresh air, and a kind community, we allow ourselves to soften back into the rhythms of nature. Well-behaved dogs on a leash are warmly welcome to join us on the trail.

We'll slow way down, learn to identify our “fire allies” and gather what the forest has already generously offered to build a fire.

Join Alisha Nissenfeld and Ali Wiliams for a wander through the woods, practicing the quiet art of nature awareness while building a relationship with the plants and trees around us.

As we walk, you’ll be guided through meditations, gentle movement, and awareness of self in space. You'll learn to see differently; to train your eyes to notice patterns, layers, textures, and details you might otherwise walk right past. Really seeing this way is more than a skill. It is presence, connection, curiosity, and attunement. It's a practice of becoming a little more intimate with the place you're standing.

Let’s gather to honor the natural next step; a turning of the seasons both in the Earth and within our own bodies. Winter has offered a time of listening and reflection while the roots were being nourished. Perhaps we allowed ourselves to sync with that rhythm and here, now - life begins to rise again. Seeds stir beneath the soil. Sap begins to move in the trees. Something within us may also be ready to body forth.

This powerful practice is an invitation to move with that unfolding.

Love love love, and even more love.

“Keeping Your Peace is a Vital Part of Resistance.”

Join us in sacred ceremony as we honor the turn of the season. Through community intention setting, guided breath and energy movement, and yoga postures, we will practice cultivating and protecting our vitality to support our capacity for growth and resiliance. This is an exploratory embodiment practice that asks you to drop down from the head and rest with steadiness and ease into the heart. All are welcome

Embodiment is an invitation to come home to yourself, to drop from the mind’s endless loops of thinking and doing into the deep knowing of your body—where presence, wisdom, and possibility already reside. It is the felt sense of being alive, of moving through the world with grace, of trusting the clear channel within you. When we embrace ritual—whether in morning self-care, the sacred act of eating, or gathering in community—we remember that change need not be forced; it can be a joyous unfolding. The strength, courage, and vitality we seek are not outside of us; they are already here, woven into every breath, every step, every moment of nourishment and devotion. When we soften into this truth, life begins to feel effortless, infused with ease and celebration, like the first blooms of spring—an awakening, a return, a remembering of the profound support that has always been within and all around us.

Lean into this space. Lean into each other. Together, we will continue to practice presence, cultivate warmth, and create a path toward deep healing. You are not alone, and you are so deeply held here

Hello Love Lights; shining the sunlight from within. I see us strengthening our practice together of holding our heads and hearts high, knowing that we are the bearers of light and that we stand on the side of love and compassion for all beings everywhere, and the planet. Let us be bound together by our efforts, let our edges blur, and may we continue to rise up- epsecially from the hidden places.

Love Love Love and Even More Love

“Be gentle in all things” is an old proverb attributed to grandmothers of a time past. This idea rings true in Ahimsa, the building block of yogic philosophy, which translates as non-harming. Let go of all the striving and doing, and allow yourself to simply and gently be, just as you are. This is a special class featuring chanting, pranayama, meditation, and a gentle yoga practice that culminates in a 20-minute extended savasana with a gong bath.

Gong baths offer a deeply nourishing and restorative experience healing on all levels of being. During this relaxing and rejuvenating experience, students are supported comfortably with bolsters and blankets while vibrations pass over and through --leaving them feeling balanced, peaceful, and light.
