Gentle Vinyasa: Heart Opening + Healing Sound

Saturday October 17, 2026 9:30am - 10:30am CDT

Heart Room

This gentle vinyasa flow invites you into a slower, more attentive rhythm of movement, guided by the resonance of singing bowls. The practice emphasizes soft transitions, breath awareness, and spacious pacing, creating room to feel rather than perform.
With a focus on heart-opening postures, we’ll explore both physical and subtle dimensions of opening—through the chest, shoulders, and the deeper inner landscape. The sound of the bowls supports a settling of the nervous system, helping you stay present to sensation, emotion, and breath as they arise.

The Art of Living Well: Ayurvedic Principles for Health & Longevity

Saturday October 17, 2026 9:30am - 10:30am CDT

Root Room

What if health is more than the absence of symptoms?

In this practical introduction to Ayurveda, we'll explore the timeless principles behind one of the world's oldest systems of health and how they can be applied to modern life. Together we'll reexamine what it means to be healthy, how living in rhythm with nature supports well-being, and why no single food, habit, or practice works forever.

Rather than offering another dosha quiz or wellness hack, this talk provides a framework for making wiser choices in a world of endless health advice. You'll leave with practical tools you can begin using right away, along with a fresh perspective on cultivating health from the inside out.

The Art of Receiving: An Intuitive Art Workshop

Saturday October 17, 2026 4:30pm - 5:45pm CDT

Root Room

In this painting workshop, we'll practice creating from our intuition and tapping into the creative energy within and around us. Short meditations and movement throughout the session will help us connect with ourselves and our environment. This workshop is about embracing the process, not the product.

You should come because creating is fun and healing. Learning to trust our intuition can help us make decisions that lead to more happiness, fulfillment, and confidence. Learning to feel the energy within and around us helps us naturally become more intuitive, and we will feel more connected to ourselves and to God/source/creator.

No experience or artistic background required. All materials will be provided, and you will take home the small work of art you create.

Supplies will be provided for a $20 add-on fee.

As the stars begin to fill the night sky, settle into a peaceful outdoor sanctuary designed to help you unwind, restore, and reconnect. This immersive sound bath combines the healing vibrations of crystal singing bowls, gongs, chimes, and other therapeutic instruments with the calming presence of nature under the stars.

Wrapped in the stillness of the evening, you’ll be invited to rest as sound gently guides your body into a state of deep relaxation. The combination of fresh night air, starlight, and soothing frequencies creates the perfect environment to quiet the mind, release the day’s stress, and prepare for a restful night’s sleep.

Props Needed: Please bring: • Yoga mat • Blanket (or two for extra cushioning and warmth) • Pillow or bolster • Eye pillow (optional) • Water bottle • Comfortable, layered clothing for the cooler evening temperatures.

Create a cozy nest, settle in beneath the stars, and allow the sounds of the evening to guide you into a place of deep rest and renewal.
