🗓️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.

✨Kundalini Yoga: The Vagus Nerve Series✨

Begins Tuesday, October 6, 2026

NEW: Choose AM or PM classes!

October 6 - November 12

✨AM Program: Tues + Thurs 7:00 - 8:15am

✨PM Program: Tuesdays 7:00 - 8:30pm

✨Join Susanne Werblow for a 6-week exploration of the vagus nerve through the lens of Kundalini Yoga.

🧱Each week’s practices build upon the previous one.

✨Tuesday morning classes emphasize physical embodiment through Kundalini Yoga kriyas that help awaken awareness and regulate the nervous system through movement.

✨Thursday morning classes slow the pace, focusing on pranayama, meditation, relaxation, and subtle awareness to deepen the week’s theme.

✨For those attending the Tuesday evening program, both elements are thoughtfully woven together into one 90-minute class that combines movement, breathwork, meditation, and deep relaxation.

🧘Whether you’re looking to reduce stress, improve emotional well-being, deepen your yoga practice, or simply learn practical tools for everyday life, this series offers a gentle yet profound journey toward greater calm, resilience, and connection.

✨Co-Ed Breathwork✨

September 22nd, 6:30 - 9:00pm

Early Bird Pricing through September 7th!

✨Join us for a transformative breathwork ceremony where we’ll honor cacao and breathwork to reach a new state of awareness. This is a powerful way to release stress, let go of limiting beliefs, and clear out any stuck and stagnant energy.

✨Let your breath guide you inward to a non-ordinary state that unlocks congestion in your physical, mental and energetic body.

✨Sink into a relaxing sound bath with gongs, singing bowls and soothing percussion. The sound vibration will help you unwind, realign and find a deep sense of wellbeing. These powerful breathwork sessions are designed to help you reconnect with yourself, your body, and your intuition. It’s a chance to let go of what isn’t serving you and embrace your true self.

✨Stay after hours for community integration: a light dinner, sauna, hot & cold tubs.

✨These ceremonies offer a way home—back to yourself, your body, and the deep knowing that lives within you.

*Note that this is an offsite event in Sparta, MI. Exact address will be provided upon registration.

🎨The Shape of Feeling🎨

•What shape does a feeling take?

•Can emotion become color, texture, movement, light—or something that has never been named before?

•On October 22, fifteen artists explore that question in The Shape of Feeling, an exhibition inspired by the wisdom of the living body.

🎨The Shape of Feeling
🥂Opening Reception
🗓️October 22 | 7:00–10:00 PM
 📍Somatic Wisdom Institute

•As author, scholar and teacher Reginald Ray writes: “Sensation brings us into intimate contact with the world around us; intuition opens us to our context in an instantaneous, non-thinking way; feeling reveals our deep connections with others—human, animal, and vegetal. These functions are immediate, often subtle, and largely non-conceptual; and they are essentially somatic, experienced in and through the body.” —Reginald Ray, Touching Enlightenment: Finding Realization in the Body

•Rather than illustrating ideas, these local artists have listened to sensation, intuition, and emotion, allowing their work to emerge from embodied experience.

•We invite you to come experience the many ways feelings can take form.

•Come meet the artists, experience the exhibition, and discover how the language of the body becomes art.

In a world that’s constantly shifting, many men are left asking: “How am I supposed to show up?

🗓️September 8, 2026
⌚️6:30 PM 8:30 PM
📍Somatic Wisdom Institute
1324 Lake Drive SE, GR

🌀Between expectations, pressures, and changing definitions of masculinity, it’s easy to lose our place—or feel like we never had one to begin with.

🪶Breathing Into Brotherhood is a guided breathwork experience designed to support men in healing, grounding, and reconnecting with their true essence. This is a space to explore what it means to be a man today—without judgment, without the need to perform, and without having to explain your story.

✨Through conscious breathwork, we’ll move energy and emotion through the body—not to analyze it, but to release it.

✨silence✨

September 18-20, 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

Stay one night or two!

🌹 Wisdom of the Rose 🌹

For thousands of years, the rose has symbolized love, beauty, mystery, devotion, and the unfolding of the human heart. But beyond its symbolism, the rose offers something quieter—a way of listening.

Join us for an evening of contemplation, authentic community, ceremonial cacao, live music, breathwork, and blessing.

We’ll begin by sitting with a single rose, allowing it to become a mirror for the questions, longings, and places in your life where you’re seeking clarity. Through guided meditation and reflection, you’ll be invited to listen for the symbolic wisdom the rose has to offer.

From there, we’ll gather in heartfelt community before opening the heart with ceremonial cacao and journeying inward through a powerful live-music breathwork experience. The evening concludes with a rose water blessing, a personal Rose Oracle message, and time to integrate over a light meal, the wood-fired sauna, hot and cold tubs, and the beauty of The Hive.

✨ Open to Women+

🌹 Tickets are selling quickly! Early bird pricing is available through August 4th.

🌿 Those wishing to receive Rose Hapé are invited to arrive at 5:45 PM.

Come as you are. Leave with an open heart, a deeper sense of connection, and perhaps a little more trust in the quiet wisdom already blooming within you.
