Workshops
Trauma Conscious Yoga Training
Begins October 18th
Understanding Trauma Conscious Yoga is vital when compassionately serving the community and ourselves.
Most of us are impacted by trauma in some way or another and yet we all have an innate capacity to heal and be transformed by difficult experiences. Yoga, meditation, and other mindfulness practices help people cope with and heal trauma symptoms, as well as grow and build resilience.
Our Trauma Conscious training is taught with an understanding of how we are all affected by trauma and chronic stress. It offers sensitive approaches to supporting the healing process.
Anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, relationship stress, and health issues are often the result of unresolved trauma and chronic stress. The goal of a trauma-conscious yoga practice is to build resiliency and establish greater self-regulation. It is about feeling safe and at-home in our bodies so that we can feel stable, have good self-esteem, and healthy relationships.
I created a program influenced by many years of experience and study in Somatic Experiencing, yoga, mindfulness, psychology, neuroscience, socio-political awareness, and social justice activism.
My intention is to help teachers become more effective in teaching to everyone, not just those who identify as trauma survivor, while also offering a holistic and hopeful framework to all those working with trauma.
Along with addressing the personal and interpersonal, these trainings also explore how systemic patterns of trauma, at the heart of social justice issues like poverty and racism, impact individuals and entire communities of people.
We will also explore the intersection between yogic philosophy and the social justice movement, specifically relating to racial trauma and collective healing.
These trainings are for yoga teachers who would like to work with individuals or communities with trauma. They are also for clinicians, therapists, social workers, educators, medical personnel, first responders, non-profit employees or volunteers, or anyone else who would like to integrate basic yoga tools into their work or lives to support greater health and well-being.

Reiki Level 1
September 19th 9-12 and September 20th 9-12:30
Reiki, a form of energy healing, is an ancient practice that is used to reduce stress, improve health and quality of life, and support physical and emotional healing. Research suggests that using Reiki as a complementary therapy activates the parasympathetic nervous system to heal body and mind via the relaxation response.
Reiki is accessible to everyone and is easy to learn. Practitioners use specific hand positions, held for a few minutes on or near the client’s clothed body.
After receiving the Reiki 1 certificate, participants will be able to perform self-treatments and provide treatments for others. However, generally, Reiki providers do not begin practicing professionally until they have received the second degree.
Course Topics Include:
- History, Principles, and Elements of Reiki
- Energy Attunement
- Hand Positions for Self-Treatments and Treatments of Others
- Japanese Techniques
- Lecture and Experiential Practice
The First Degree (Reiki 1) is the foundation for all three levels of attunements.
Each Reiki practitioner will receive a manual along with an official Usui Reiki 1 Certificate.

New Moon Circle
July 21st from 730-9 PM.
New Moons represent beginning. They are for planting seeds and setting intentions for our dreams, goals and wishes. They're an opportunity to take ownership for what we want to manifest and to commit to the actions, thoughts and behaviors necessary to get us there. They're a time to give and receive — to form community.
The Evening:
Meditation, journaling, sharing and setting intentions. The key is the space that’s created. We will be open, caring, non-judgmental and loving. We will be offering stones charged from the prior full moon to keep on our person through the next cycle.
As each person shares, the circle quietly holds space, allowing the fullness of experience. This breeds intimacy and trust as walls are dropped.
It’s recommended you find a special journal to keep with you as we will be hosting these full and new moon.
Donation Based please pre register here
Full Moon Cirlce
August 4th 7:30 - 9 pm
When we meet in circle we join to hold everyone in sacred space and purpose as equals.
We are bringing forth an ancient way of connecting into modern times.
We gather to share stories, to deepen our identities individually and as part of a greater group.
We gather to enliven life.
We gather in circle to share our joy, to work on projects, or join in ritual at various levels of depth and purpose.
And, and we gather in circle to help to heal our world.
Each circle also usually includes a combination of discussion questions around the theme, a transformational ritual, and blessing of crystals. These help us go within to reflect and do deep work in a lighthearted way. Through these activities, we emerge feeling a sense of inner knowing, nourishment, self-love, confidence, healing, direction, and clarity.
Then, the circle is closed with a short meditation, intention-setting, or something as simple as sharing one thing we will take with them from the circle.
It’s recommended you find a special journal to keep with you as we will be hosting these full and new moon.
