Together, you’ll explore gentle movement, simple breath awareness, and imaginative play that supports early body connection and emotional expression.

Wednesdays | 10:00–11:00 AM
Starting June 24th – August 19th
A soft landing space for you and your littlest love to slow down, connect, and grow—together.
Designed for mamas and their babies (ages 6–18 months), this circle weaves together gentle movement, sensory play, and heart-centered connection in a nurturing, supportive environment.
We begin each gathering in circle—dropping into presence through intuitive card pulls, shared intentions, and community connection. From there, we ease into a grounding warm-up of breathwork and lap-based movements, inviting your baby into rhythm, touch, and attunement.
As the energy begins to build, we explore playful child-carrying techniques and flowing group movement—supporting both your body and your baby’s developing awareness. Sensory elements like scarves and bubbles awaken curiosity and delight, while guided exploration encourages spatial awareness and early motor development in a safe, supported way.
We close with a tender blessing ritual, vocal affirmations, and one final dance—anchoring your bond and sending you back into your day feeling nourished, connected, and held.
Who This Is For:
Mamas with babies 6–18 months who are craving connection, gentle movement, and a space to be supported in this season.
Who This Is Not For:
Those seeking a structured fitness class or childcare—this is a slow, intentional, connection-based experience.

A deeper connection with your little one
Tools to support early motor skills + awareness
A sense of community with other mamas
A moment each week that pours back into you

Thursday, June 25 | 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
This two-hour ceremony provides a ritualistic container to release suppressed fire. It is an invitation to stop being "agreeable" and instead honor the raw, visceral power of your anger. Through guided movement and somatic release, we transmute rage into a revitalized sense of personal agency and boundary-setting.
Who this is for: The woman who feels "stuck" or "nice," or anyone carrying a heavy load of resentment or systemic frustration that needs a physical exit point.
Who this is not for: Those seeking a light, relaxing "spa-like" evening or anyone currently unwilling to engage in high-intensity emotional expression.

Grief, Grounding & Gratitude Circle
Grief is one of the most natural human responses we have—and one of the most misunderstood.
As a society, we tend to treat grief as something to get through quickly, manage quietly, or turn into a lesson. We reward “being strong,” “staying busy,” and “moving on,” often without realizing that these are ways of bypassing the very thing asking to be felt. Grief becomes something we apologize for, hide, or minimize—especially when it doesn’t have a neat reason or timeline.
But grief is not a problem to solve.
It is a signal of love, attachment, change, and meaning.
Grief can show up as sadness, yes—but also as anger, numbness, exhaustion, anxiety, irritability, tightness in the chest, or a sense of disorientation. When it isn’t given space, it doesn’t disappear; it simply moves into the body, the nervous system, and our relationships.
There is nothing shameful about grief.
It doesn’t mean you’re weak, broken, or failing at life.
Grief means something mattered.
Someone mattered.
A version of you mattered.
When we allow grief to be felt—gently, safely, and without pressure to perform—it often softens on its own. Not because it’s gone, but because it’s finally been acknowledged.
“EveryBody Scream” - Dark Goddess Devotion with Medusa
EveryBody Scream
Dark Goddess Devotion for Sacred Rage & Liberation
Friday March 20, 6-9 Pm
“Everybody Scream” is a 3-hour immersive ritual-workshop devoted to sexual liberation through rage reclamation and embodied sovereignty through the archetype of the Dark Goddess, Medusa. Drawing from the myth of Medusa - once a woman transformed through violation and later feared for her power - we enter a sacred space to reclaim what has been demonized, shamed, or silenced within us.
This is a ceremonial container for alchemy and truth-telling. Through guided ritual, sensual embodiment practices, breath, movement, and intentional witnessing, (and of course our amazing projector) you will be invited to meet the parts of yourself that were taught to stay quiet, ignite the freeze held in the body, and transmute suppressed anger into protective, life-affirming power.
And what better way to welcome the spring?

Awakening Erotic Vitality, Play & Tantric Energetics in Relationship
Saturday 2/21 | 5:30–7:30 PM
6 Couples Maximum
When was the last time you and your partner slowed down enough to feel each other—without distractions, to-do lists, or roles pulling you apart?
The Pulse Between is a 2-hour immersive couples experience designed to awaken erotic vitality, deepen connection, and reintroduce play as a living force in your relationship. This is not about fixing or changing - it’s about remembering what’s possible when two living breathing bodies and nervous systems meet with presence, curiosity, and intention.
Consider this a date night that moves beyond dinner and drinks—into the realm of embodied connection.
What if date night went beyond scheduled sex, drinks and a seated meal together?
This is not about “spicing things up” for the sake of turn-on.
It’s about tuning in - to yourself, to your partner, and to the subtle pulse that exists between you.

Persephone’s Descent - Dark Goddess Devotion
Persephone’s Descent
Dark Goddess Devotion for Sexual Healing & Liberation
Saturday 2/14 | 1–4 PM
Persephone’s Descent is a 3-hour immersive ritual-workshop devoted to sexual healing, reclamation, and liberation through the lens of the Dark Goddess. Drawing from the myth of Persephone—her descent, initiation, and return—we journey into the underworld of the body to meet what has been buried, silenced, or exiled, and to alchemize it into embodied power.
This is a ceremonial space for devotion, shadow work, and somatic exploration. Through guided ritual, sensual embodiment practices, breath, movement, and intentional witnessing, you will be invited to soften into your depth, tend to sexual wounds with reverence, and reconnect to your innate erotic life force—on your own terms.
This workshop is for those ready to release shame, reclaim sovereignty over their sexuality, and honor the cyclical nature of desire, grief, pleasure, and rebirth. You are not here to be fixed—you are here to remember.

Group Reading with Psychic Medium Laura Cifaldi
Laura is back! Saturday December 6th at 1 pm
About Laura
“I am a psychic medium and have been able to connect with spirits since the age of four. As a young child, I remember connecting with deceased family members and Angels. At the time, I didn’t realize I had a gift or that what I was experiencing was out of the ordinary.Growing up as a medium kept me grounded and gave me a whole new perspective on life. Also, having a father in Law Enforcement, helped me to discover that I had a “detective” aspect to my gift.In recent years, I started doing readings on close family and friends. It wasn’t until a few years ago, that I found my true purpose in life was to help those that couldn’t help themselves. I started working on missing person cases, homicides, cold cases, etc. I am also able to connect with those that are in comas or vegetative states. This I found useful with a hit and run case that I was successful in helping to solve.I have all of the psychicsenses; clairvoyant,clairaudience,clairsentient, clairtangency, clairgustance, channeling, telepathy.I am extremely empathic and experience everything in first person, as well as, a medical intuitive.My readings are very fulfilling, dramatic at times, emotional and honest.I really love what I do and love that I can help people connect and find the peace and the answers they need.”

Wild Within “Sacred Rebels” - 6 week Awakening
Unleash your body’s wisdom. Reclaim your untamed truth.
🖤 You were never meant to play small.
You were not made to be polite, palatable, or pleasing.
You were made to feel deeply, move freely, and lead wildly.

A pulse you’ve learned to ignore.
A fire in your hips, your heart, your howl —
that is ready to be set loose.
This is your invitation to rise. To remember.
To return to the altar of your own wild body.
🔥 This is not just a movement class.
This is a ritual. A rebellion. A reclamation.
