✨A Prayer for Indigenous People’s Month - Community Discussion and Breathwork✨

🗓️November 18, 2026
🪶 5:15 PM – Optional Hapé
🌿 6:00–9:00 PM – Teaching, Somatic Contemplation, Community Discussion & Live Music Breathwork
🥗 Salad Potluck to follow

Our local community is largely white, and it’s possible to move through our daily lives without ever pausing to consider whose land we inhabit or whose wisdom has been preserved through tremendous resilience and sacrifice. This evening is an invitation to do just that.

Together, we’ll explore what it means to honor Indigenous wisdom with humility, gratitude, and respect. We’ll sit in curiosity rather than certainty, asking how we can cultivate appreciation without appropriation, deepen our relationship with the land, and become more thoughtful stewards of the healing traditions that have influenced so much of our work.

Through teaching, somatic contemplation, and authentic community, we’ll consider how reverence can become a lived practice rather than simply an idea.

After a brief discussion, we’ll move into a live-music breathwork ceremony, creating space to embody our prayers through breath, presence, and deep listening. Following the ceremony, you’re invited to stay for a simple salad potluck and community connection.

May this evening deepen our appreciation for the wisdom that has been so generously preserved, inspire us to walk with greater humility and respect. May it remind us that healing is something we cultivate together.

✨silence✨

November 13 - 15, 2026

This retreat is an opening into silence as a presence that restores, softens, and renews.

Together, we will share in the sacredness of quiet, listening for what emerges when words fall away and our bodies can rest into the deeper rhythms of being.

Nestled within 27 acres of open land and forest, this retreat offers ample space to wander, breathe, and reconnect with the natural world.

Why Silence?

Silence is a teacher. It allows the nervous system to reset, the heart to attune, and the body to remember its natural pace. In shared stillness, we feel the beauty of being together without performance. It’s a collective energy that uplifts even in its quiet.

What the Retreat Offers:

🔥Hot tub and sauna for warmth and renewal

✨Sound Bath to deepen rest and resonance

🌀We’ll walk a labyrinth together

🧘Guided meditation

🎨Quiet studio space with cozy nooks for reading, journaling and creative expression

💤Individual sleeping pods for private, restful nights

🥗Nourishing meals: self‑serve breakfast, hearty late lunch, and dinner provided

All inclusive! Stay one night or two!

✨Authentic Relating✨

🗓️October 14
⌚️6:30 - 8:30pm
📍Somatic Wisdom Institute - Eastown

⛓️‍💥For most of human history, people gathered in circle to speak, listen, and make meaning collectively. Most of us were never taught how to be in honest, embodied relationship — with ourselves or with others. We learned how to perform, adapt, protect, or disappear in order to belong.

🌀The Authentic Relating Wisdom Circle draws from these ancient ways of gathering as a place to practice something different.

🪶Through somatic awareness, authentic relating, and the ancient practice of circle, you’ll learn to trust your body as a source of truth, speak what is real without losing connection, and experience what it feels like to be seen and witnessed in community.

🔥Over time, this structure allows you to build trust in your body, your voice, and your capacity to be in honest relationship with others — one conversation at a time.

✨e q u i n o x✨

The equinox invites us into balance.

Equal light. Equal dark. A moment of equilibrium.

Our bodies know this longing better than we realize… The subtle pull toward center, toward enoughness, toward a place where we don’t have to strain against ourselves, because we are already whole.

Equanimity is the capacity to remain rooted as everything moves. It doesn’t mean we’re constantly regulated. Our bodies are always listening for that rooted place. The equinox gives us a moment to get quiet and listen, too. 🍂

Cacao Meditation with Ryan DeLuca

🗓️monthly
⌚️9:00 - 10:30am
📍1324 Lake Dr, Suite 4, Eastown

Our heart is often seen as the seat of intuition — the place within where we can listen deeply and remember who we truly are.

Join us for a morning of connection and embodiment as you enjoy a cup of ceremonial cacao, lovingly hand-crafted by Somatic Wisdom Institute lead teacher, Ryan DeLuca. Ryan will guide you through a gentle breath and embodiment practice to quiet the mind and soothe the nervous system, followed by a guided meditation into your heart space — an invitation to reconnect with yourself and your life.

This heart-centered class is offered monthly in our Eastown studio.

✨Community Kirtan at SWI✨

September 9
October 28
7:00  - 8:30pm
Somatic Wisdom Institute

Come as you are and join Prem, Kristin, Jeff and Susanne for an evening of heart-opening Kirtan — meditative practice of chanting and community connection.

We’ll share sacred chants from a variety of traditions, including Buddhist and Sikh lineages, in a welcoming and inclusive space. Many of the chants are call-and-response and all are easy to follow — no experience needed, just your voice and your presence.

Bring your open heart, your curiosity, and your voice.

Let’s co-create an atmosphere of peace, joy, and connection.

This event is free and open to all.

Donations are welcome and will go towards Somatic Wisdom’s Foundation which gives access to workshops, trainings and more to people that cannot afford it.

We can’t wait to chant with you!

🗓️Wednesday, October 21, 2026
🕰️5:15 - 9:00pm

✨Medicine Woman Archetype Breathwork Ceremony at The Hive✨

✨There comes a time when we stop searching for the answers and begin listening for the wisdom that has been quietly waiting within.

✨The Medicine Woman is an ancient archetype that lives within each of us. She is a portal to remembering your intuition, your relationship with the Earth, your capacity to listen deeply, and the gifts that are yours alone to offer. She reminds us that healing extends beyond ourselves, rippling into our families, our communities, and the way we walk through the world.

✨This evening is an invitation to deepen your relationship with that inner knowing.

✨We’ll explore this archetype through guided teaching, meditation, and contemplative practice - creating space to listen for the wisdom that is already present. Together, we’ll gather in authentic community, sharing what has been revealed before journeying inward through a live-music breathwork ceremony. As always, we’ll close the evening with time for integration and connection.

✨For those who wish to receive hapé, it will be offered from 5:15–5:50 PM. The breathwork ceremony begins at 6:00 PM and concludes at 9:00 PM.

✨We would be honored to share this evening with you.
