The flowing sequence of poses builds strength, flexibility, and mindfulness, leaving you energized and grounded. Transition seamlessly into a short meditation before embarking on a deeply relaxing sound healing journey with Danielle Elese.

This acoustic meditation is designed to reduce stress, elevate your mood, and leave you aligned with the rhythms of the moon and ocean.

Returning to the private residency in Montecito, ‘Tree house’ (outdoor in the elements of nature)
You have been holding so much…
Holding space for everyone else.
Holding yourself together.
Holding emotions you haven't had time to feel.
Holding responsibilities that never seem to end.
This circle is an invitation to return home to yourself.
As the season shifts and nature begins to slow, we'll gather every other week beneath the big oak tree at the Tree House to reconnect with ourselves alongside other women and the wisdom of the body.
These gatherings offer an opportunity to travel beyond the mind and journey through the physical, emotional, vibrational, and spiritual terrains of being.
Rooted in my methodology of The Body-Led approach, we'll spend three months moving through its four pillars:
Safety ~ Creating the conditions where the nervous system can soften and every part of you feels welcome.
Somatics~ Learning to trust the language of your body through breath, movement, and embodied awareness.
Compassion~ Meeting every part of yourself with curiosity, kindness, and understanding rather than judgment or fixing.
Release~ Allowing what has been held in the body to gently soften and unburden.
We'll practice returning to the wisest place within ourselves….again and again.
Somatic movement - breathwork - Internal Family Systems - Informed Inquiry- meditation- journaling - circles- sound healing - sit around a fire - nourishing treats
