As you settle body and mind you will receive healing touch from Katy. This gentle practice of soothing poses (mostly seated and supine, and supported by blankets and blocks) is open to all levels of practice. Expect to emerge feeling grounded and nurtured.

Private Group Experiences
Gather your peeps to mark life transitions together
An opportunity to be together with your most intimate crew, to mark important threshold experiences that could range from birthdays to divorce to retirement to loss.
We create sacred space in Shiné's practice room, fireplace room, out on the meetinghouse lawn, or a place of your choosing, and co-create a set of practices uniquely designed for the occasion. Past gatherings have included somatic techniques creating deep interconnectivity, hands-on TLC or collective laying on of hands, poetry you choose or I suggest, rituals meaningful to you or related to your ancestry or spiritual orientation; and/or crafting handmade gifts for the one who is crossing over the transition or funky, creative 'party favors' for the group to take home.
contribution: $250 (75 minutes at your place) or $300 (hold it at the meetinghouse!)

Somatics for Psychedelic Journeys: a Practice Group
Second session: April 12th, 6-8:30pm
Connect with like-minded souls who are spelunking fearlessly into the mystery to explore the vast potential in our journeys for healing, social transformation, and the exploration of consciousness.
Our three hours together will include:
-an extended somatic practice, aligning body, mind, and spirit
Moving and breathing together to a kick-ass, carefully-curated playlist, we will engage accessible embodied practices that drop the mind deep. Learn polyvagal techniques to "hack" the vagus nerve, create safeness in your soma, and bring the myriad sheaths of the subtle body into alignment with the intentions of your journeys. This practice will be open to EveryBody, of every age, size, and myriad ability.
-an experience of James Turrell's beautiful skyspace, exploring the expansion of our sensory perception of light and space (aperture closed)
-cozy journaling by the fireside, closing with optional sharing (please note this is not a psychological integration session)
$75 - Contact Katy with interest and for more details

SKYSPACE CHAKRA tune-up with katy and raji malik
spring 2024 dates tba
Vibrational healing & guided energy work
*Open to ALL bodies - no movement required!*
A fusion of Quaker and yogic traditions, in tuning your chakras to an exploration of light. Each of the energy centers in the body is said to have a distinct vibrational frequency, and, according to later traditions, its own color. It is believed that the flow of subtle energy can be manipulated by focusing on these centers and bringing their vibration into balance.
In this musical and somatic experience of "Greet the Light," by world-renown artist James Turrell, you'll recline back on cushioned benches or a yoga mat and let us transport you. As you take in the shifting colors that illuminate the ceiling, Raji's compositions will take you on a journey through the vibratory tone and thematic focus of each of the physical energy centers, while Katy guides you through visualizations and simple self-touch practices awakening each chakra. The aperture to the sky will remain closed in the winter months, so that participants can be warm and comfy enough to be able to drop in.
Testimonials:
"I felt a marination of both my heart and cells with Raji's gentle music and Katy's poetic guidance. With my eyes opened and my inner self tuned I was transported to a different time, and at the same time happily present. I look forward to doing it again!"
“The serenity and genius of the James Turrell exhibit, combined with Katy’s gentle instruction and readings and Raji’s transportive guitar, created a dreamlike experience. I genuinely felt as though I entered an altered state. Sheer magic."
