COST: Sliding Scale $60-$70-$80

DESCRIPTION:

As the longest night of the year arrives, we’re invited to slow down and soften into the quiet, restorative darkness. In this sacred pause, the Sun appears to stand still — a powerful threshold where the old can fall away and the first spark of new light begins to grow.

Join Katie and Treva for an immersive evening that honors this turning point. We’ll begin with grounding breathwork and gentle movement before dropping into yin shapes that nourish the water element and support the emotional balance of the kidney and bladder meridians. From this softened place, we’ll journal, reflect, and listen for what’s ready to germinate in the dark soil of our inner world.

The evening closes with sound healing and a deeply restful Yoga Nidra journey — guiding you through the symbolic descent into darkness and the slow, steady return toward light, clarity, and renewed energy.

Come rest, release, and reconnect with your inner courage as you honor the quiet power of winter and welcome the first whisper of the Sun’s rebirth.

Welcome to our monthly Community Kirtan, a chanting and mantra gathering.

Kirtan is call and response chanting from the Bhakti Yoga tradition, a joyful practice of devotion.

Kirtan is a spiritual practice of Bhakti (devotional) Yoga, a musically guided call-and-response chanting of Sanskrit mantras of healing and empowerment. It's a musically guided meditation practice that calms the mind, relaxes the body, and energizes the spirit. Some say, it's like singing to your highest self or to your angels or to The Universe or to God (whatever resonates most to your heart as this is a very personal and sacred practice).

Kirtan is not a performance, but a collective group prayer. Together we will use our voices to participate in this uplifting and cathartic experience of chanting mantras.

Come experience the uplifting and heart opening affects of Kirtan, in a safe and supportive evening of sacred mantras and glorious harmony of call-and-response chanting.

No previous yoga, meditation or singing experience is necessary to participate.

Why Cleanse?

Do you feel tired, heavy, or sluggish after the holidays?

With the right nourishment and guidance, your body naturally knows how to detoxify and thrive.

This 7-day experience is both grounding and uplifting — a chance to rest, rejuvenate, and remember how good it feels to feel good.

You’ll Learn & Experience How To:

Eat delicious, healing foods that truly satisfy

Strengthen your immunity for winter

Support kidney, skin, and adrenal health

DESCRIPTION:

Join us for a women’s 3-hour immersive workshop exploring the intersection of sobriety, yoga philosophy, and conscious community. Whether you’re sober, sober-curious, or simply rethinking your relationship to substances, this gathering offers a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to inquire within.

We’ll explore how the 8-limbed path of yoga—a framework rooted in self-awareness, discipline, and spiritual growth—can support those navigating life without numbing or avoidance. This is not a 12-step program or medical advice, but an invitation to reflect on patterns that may no longer serve us.

What to expect:
– Moderate-level asana (movement) and breathwork
– Guided meditation
– Talk and group discussion on yoga philosophy and sobriety
– Optional sharing and reflective journaling

Sharing is always optional. You are welcome just as you are. If you need to step out early, the door is open and your decision will be fully supported.

Please arrive sober. This space is open to anyone interested in the conversation around sobriety, whether or not you identify as being in recovery—but we ask that all participants attend substance-free.

What to bring:
– A yoga mat (limited extras available)
– A journal and pen
– Water and anything else you need to feel comfortable

About Shawna:
Shawna Marie has been practicing yoga and sobriety since 2012. She began studying yoga and meditation as a teenager in 2008, seeking peace in the midst of inner and outer chaos. In 2017, she completed her first 200-hour teacher training and began teaching in community spaces. A year later, she traveled to northern India to deepen her studies in yoga and Buddhism, and later completed her 500-hour certification.

Shawna now leads classes and workshops throughout California’s Central Coast, offering everything from power vinyasa to gentle flow, always infused with Ayurveda, trauma-informed language, and a deep reverence for self-inquiry. Her teaching is rooted in connection—to self, community, and the natural world. Outside the studio, Shawna works in regenerative organic agriculture, helping fundraise for climate-resilient food systems.

• energetic/frequency elevation

• processing and integrating stored or suppressed emotions

This style of breathwork creates a safe, powerful container for personal healing, spiritual insight, and profound embodied transformation.

Sydney Davis:

Sydney, is a doctor of Chinese medicine and acupuncture. My mission is rooted in a deep passion for helping people, especially women, feel strong, seen, and supported-at every stage of life. I believe that when we feel empowered in our health, we show up more fully in every part of our lives. That's what acupuncture and Chinese medicine offer: not just relief from symptoms, but a path back to balance, vitality, and connection to yourself.

I blend the ancient wisdom of acupuncture, herbal medicine, and holistic care with an understanding of how today's stress, pace, and pressure affect our health. Whether you're navigating hormonal shifts, chronic stress, fertility journeys, or simply feeling out of alignment, I'm here to help you reconnect with your body's natural intelligence and live life with more energy, clarity, and joy.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and personalized. I meet you where you are and walk beside you as we uncover the root causes of imbalance and awaken your body's innate healing potential. I am dedicated to guiding you on a path to wellness through personalized care and the time-honored art of balance and harmony.
