Rooted in the sacred traditions of Yoga, Ayurveda, and Thai Sen (energy) lines, Thai Yoga Massage originated as a temple therapy created by Ayurvedic doctor Jivaka Komarpaj for the Buddha and his Sangha, later carried to Thailand by monks and nuns.

● Explore safe and effective techniques through body mechanics, breath coordination, and precise touch

● Discover ancient temple healing techniques adapted for today’s practitioners

This workshop is designed for massage therapists, yoga instructors, yoga students, and bodywork enthusiasts seeking to expand their skills and connect with an ancient healing tradition. Whether you are new to Thai Yoga Massage or looking to enrich your practice, this training will empower you to share a truly transformative experience with others.

Each 8-hour day of the workshop includes a 1-hour lunch break and 7 hours of hands-on training. This workshop is from 9:30am - 5:30pm on Friday October 24th and from 8am - 4pm on Saturday October 25th.

With over 20 years as a dedicated yogi, more than two decades as a bodyworker, and 15 years as a psychosocial-spiritual counselor, he brings a uniquely embodied, trauma-informed, and holistic approach to both his private practice and his workshops.

His integration of Neuromuscular Therapy—originally developed as a non-surgical approach to resolving chronic and acute pain—sets his practice apart, offering participants both the flowing, meditative qualities of Thai Yoga Massage and the targeted precision of clinical muscle release.

In his two-day Integrated Thai Yoga Massage Workshops, Darrell guides yoga practitioners, yoga teachers, massage therapists, and bodywork enthusiasts through a complete 60-minute massage sequence. His trainings emphasize safe and effective body mechanics, mindful breath coordination, and the therapeutic use of sacred sound—equipping students to deliver treatments that are both deeply restorative and results-driven.

Deep Listening Gong Journey

Tuesday, October 21 | 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm ~ Arin Levy
$30 (or sliding scale available) REGISTRATION REQUIRED!
Venmo: @yogalanalee or EMAIL to reserve your spot TODAY!

Join Dr. Arin Levy of Enso Sounds & Healing Arts for an immersive gong meditation designed to cultivate stillness, deep listening, and presence. Surrounded by the resonant tones of up to 16 gongs, singing bowls, and other sound elements, you’ll be guided into a meditative state that supports nervous system regulation, reflection, and restoration.

The session begins with a brief grounding to help us arrive fully in the space and community. We’ll take a moment to appreciate all sounds as healing, and release expectations of our time together. After a short guided meditation, Arin will weave a tapestry of improvised sound into a sonic story that unfolds intuitively. After the sound fades, we’ll rest together in a moment of silence to integrate the experience and appreciate the sounds we heard, and the stillness we feel.

Please arrive 15 minutes early to get settled. Bring a yoga mat, blanket, and any props you need to rest comfortably on the floor. We honor this space through a shared agreement of quiet, stillness, and mutual respect—to support an inclusive, caring environment where each participant is free to simply be.

Soul Retrieval with Shelly Maguire

Sunday, September 28 | 2 pm - 4 pm ~ Shelly Maguire
$20 (or sliding scale available)

Descriotion: In the realm of spiritual enlightenment, the concept of Soul Retrieval holds profound significance. Rooted in ancient wisdom, it is a transformative practice that carries immense importance for the well-being of the mind, body, and soul. Drawing inspiration from the rich lore of South America, particularly the of people Q’ero Peru, Shamanic Soul Retrieval unveils a path towards healing, wholeness, and vibrant living. At the heart of Shamanic Soul Retrieval lies the belief that traumatic experiences, emotional wounds, and energetic imbalances can fragment our souls, causing disconnection and disharmony within ourselves. These fragments, often referred to as soul loss, can manifest as a sense of emptiness, lack of vitality, depression, anxiety, or a feeling of being incomplete and stuck. Shamanic practitioners, guided by ancient wisdom, embark on a sacred journey to retrieve and reintegrate these lost aspects of our being.

The Q’ero people, custodians of ancient Incan wisdom, offer profound insights into the significance of Shamanic Soul Retrieval. They perceive the soul as a vast tapestry woven with the threads of our experiences, relationships, and ancestral lineage. When traumatic events occur, fragments of the soul may detach, seeking refuge in unseen realms, leaving behind a void within us. Through Shamanic Soul Retrieval in the group setting, I will guide you on a journey into the realms of spirit, into the Lower World, utilizing various techniques such as drumming, chanting, and energetic transmissions. I will guide you to navigate the four chambers in the lower realm to locate and retrieve the lost soul fragments, gently guiding them back to the individual seeking healing.

This process involves profound energetic realignment, soul integration, and the rekindling of the divine spark within. The benefits of Shamanic soul retrieval are multifold, encompassing the holistic well-being of the individual and ancestral healing.

On a mental level, the retrieval of lost soul fragments brings about a profound sense of clarity, understanding, and integration of past experiences. It allows for the release of limiting beliefs, emotional patterns, and traumas that may have hindered personal growth and self-realization.

Physically, soul retrieval can have a transformative impact on the body. The reintegration of these lost aspects leads to a restoration of vitality, energy, and a sense of wholeness. It can alleviate physical ailments rooted in energetic imbalances, as the body’s natural healing capacity is reignited through the reunion of the fragmented soul.

Yet, the true essence of Shamanic Soul Retrieval lies in its impact on the soul itself. By reclaiming and integrating these lost aspects, we restore our connection to the divine essence within us. Our spiritual journey is revitalized, and we gain access to dormant gifts, wisdom, and soul purpose. We navigate life from a place of empowerment, authenticity, and deep alignment with our true selves. In the tapestry of South American lore, the Q’ero people hold deep reverence for the interconnectedness of all life. They understand that Shamanic soul retrieval is not only a personal journey but also an act of collective healing. As we reintegrate our fragmented aspects, we contribute to the healing of our ancestors and the restoration of harmony within the web of life itself.

Shamanic soul retrieval is a sacred practice that offers profound benefits for the mind, body, and soul. It provides a transformative pathway towards healing, wholeness, and the realization of our true potential. Through the process of Shamanic Soul Retrieval, we reclaim our lost fragments, restore balance and harmony, and awaken to our divine essence. By embarking on this sacred journey, we honor the wisdom of our ancestors and the interconnectedness of all beings. We recognize that our individual healing ripples out into the world, contributing to the collective evolution of consciousness.

Shamanic Soul Retrieval is an invitation to remember who we truly are, to embrace our inherent wholeness, and to live authentically in alignment with our souls purpose. It is a profound act of self-love and self-empowerment, as we reclaim the parts of ourselves that were once lost or forgotten. As the Q’ero people of Peru have long understood, the practice of Shamanic Soul Retrieval is a sacred dance between the seen and unseen realms, between the physical and the spiritual. It is a testament to the power of ancient wisdom and the enduring connection between humanity and the divine. In the embrace of Shamanic Soul Retrieval, we find healing, transformation, and a deep sense of belonging. We awaken to the truth that we are not fragmented, but rather whole and complete, with the capacity to embody our highest potential. May we honor the wisdom of the Q’ero people and the rich tapestry of South American lore as we embark on this profound journey of self- discovery and soul integration. May we embrace the power of Shamanic Soul Retrieval to heal our past, illuminate our present, and shape a future filled with love, harmony, and spiritual enlightenment.

CANCELLED - Rage Club

CANCELLED DUE TO LACK OF PRE-REGISTRATIONS!

Rage Club is a space to come alive. Most of us have spent our lives being told that it’s not ok to feel Anger—that it’s aggressive, dangerous, destructive, etc.

In Rage Club, we feel our anger to heal. We transform by letting our anger up, and practicing holding and flowing it. We treat it, and all our other feelings, as neutral sources of information. Rage Club is an extraordinary space where you can go there, feel what you've not allowed yourself to feel, say what you've not known you've needed to say, and find a different kind of wholeness, aliveness, and love for yourself than most of Modern Culture makes room for. You do not need to come actively angry about anything, though if you are, bring it in full force!


Your Conscious Anger is the source of your clarity and aliveness. You do not have to be a violent destroyer. Nor do you have to be a voiceless, polite people pleaser with no boundaries. We’ll explore the Anger that you've been suppressing or bypassing by feeling and expressing it without judgement.

Together, we will research: How does Anger show up in your body? What information does it have for you? The key to reclaiming your Life and your Dignity is connecting with your Anger.

In this Introduction to Rage Club, you will:
- Connect with your Anger and remove conscious and unconscious blocks to feeling
- Get out of your head and drop into your body
- Speak while feeling Anger at different intensities
- Reclaim your ability to set boundaries and say Yes! and No!
- Bring your Anger with Love

Rage Club is a space where extraordinary things can happen, a practice ground for learning how to take responsibility for your life. What you are angry about is what you care about. We welcome you to feel it.
