Informal gathering time to create SoulCollage® cards and enjoy the company of kindred spirits! *NOTE: Open Studios are reserved for those individuals who have already attended at least one SoulCollage® workshop.

The physical sensations of comfort and ease as well as their emotional equivalents (such as, “Feeling grounded, Having it together, and Taking up space”) are the sum total of all our body parts relating to each other and the whole body’s connection to earth and space. Exercise can be so much more when we have a “work in” before we “ work out”. Bodyssey classes are customized to meet the needs of whoever shows up, and we all gain more awareness, insight and greater comfort in our bodymind when we practice together!

The Brahmavihāras—Lovingkindness, Compassion, Appreciative Joy, and Equanimity—are known in the Buddhist tradition as the divine abodes: qualities of heart that can be cultivated and lived. In this four-week series, we’ll explore each Brahmavihāra through meditation, reflection, and the SoulCollage® method, creating one card each week that embodies the felt sense and wisdom of that quality. Together, these cards become a personal “inner mandala” of resilience, care, and balance.

This is a FREE event (registration required) open to anyone who has completed a Level 1 Reiki training.

This “sangha” (community) gathering weaves together singing/chanting, moments of silence and contemplative practice, and gentle dharma reflection. No prior chanting or meditation experience is needed, and singing isn’t required either--listening is just fine! The intention of this sangha is to create a supportive, intentional space to slow down, open the heart, regulate the nervous system, and remember our shared humanity.
