6/11/26 – 5Rhythms Dance
Created by Gabrielle Roth, the 5Rhythms® is a conscious dance practice rooted in the principle that if you put the psyche in motion it will heal itself. The 5Rhythms are Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness. These Rhythms are a movement map that, when practiced, allow us to get grounded in our bodies, express our hearts and clear our minds so that our trueessence can come forth effortlessly!
6/18/26 – Drumming
Drumming facilitates a state of relaxation, joy, and a sense of well-being. In addition to learning rhythms, come develop tools to encourage wellness & social interaction.
6/25/26- Sound Bath with Gong
Sound is vibration—and so are you.
Sound healing bypasses the thinking mind, helping your nervous system soften, reset, and return to its natural rhythm. Come receive the vibrations and return to your natural rhythm.
7/2/26 – Sound Bath
Sound baths offer an immersive meditative experience. Using instruments such as gongs, singing bowls, and tuning forks, each session creates calming, balancing sound frequencies that relax and restore mind, body, and spirit.
7/9/26 – Sense & Stillness
Slow down and drop in with guided sensory meditations using scent, sound, and gentle movement. This workshop invites you to explore grounded presence through the senses, cultivating mindfulness in the body and breath. No experience necessary — come as you are.
Led by Lucy Parker & Paul Muniz of Coqui Yoga.
7/16/26- Nia Dance
This class blends talk therapy with Nia, modern dance, yoga, martial arts, the Feldenkrais Method, and creative arts to support mind, body, and spirit. No formal dance experience is required. We move barefoot, exploring the body’s natural rhythms and imagination in a free, expressive way.
7/23/26 – Qigong
Led by Mike Schmidt. Qigong is a form of Chinese energetic medicine that combines physical movements, breathing techniques, meditation, and visualization to balance the body’s internal energy, or Qi. Practiced for thousands of years, it aims to promote healing, restore balance, and enhance physical, mental, and emotional well being.
7/30/26 – Meditate, Move & Mellow Out
Your body knows how to relax. Sometimes it just needs a little help. This gentle class combines quiet meditation, easy movement, and guided deep rest to help your body and mind unwind. You’ll leave feeling calmer, lighter, and more at ease.
