Merkaba – Transcendental Breathwork Sound Journey Meditation
Friday, September 29th, 6:00-8:00pm
Join us for a profound cacao ceremony, transcendental breathwork & sound journey experience designed to help you realize the infinite nature of who you are and your own ability to thrive and heal. The Merkaba is the sacred geometry of the human energy field. It is also known as “the light body chariot.” When the Merkaba is activated it ignites the energy body, powers up the chakras, and connects us with source consciousness. The result can be one of the greatest experiences we can achieve in this lifetime; including universal alignment, divine insight, inner guidance, and deep levels of inner healing. This event will also include a Cacao Ceremony, a heart-opening stimulant used for thousands of years for awakening and self-healing. We use premium Cacao directly from Peru.
Details and information for the session:
- No prior experience is necessary.
- You will be laying down for the mediation so please bring a yoga mat blanket and pillow.
- There is a 24 hour cancellation policy.
- *Not suitable for those who are pregnant or experience epilepsy, heart problems or severe medical conditions.
Facilitators: Brian Assam & Alecia Heimes
Our complementary skill sets are based in a number of disciplines including psychology (developmental, evolutionary, energy, behavioral, etc.), neuroscience, Integral Theory, Kundalini & Hatha Yoga, the Wim Hof method, Oxygen Advantage breathing, shamanic breathing principles, along with a deep-seated wisdom in human consciousness.
About Cacao:
Cacao is known throughout South America as the “Elixir of the Gods.” It is a powerful medical plant for opening the Heart Chakra and expanding our awareness/consciousness. It can aid in personal transformation, awakening, removing negative patterns, or simply feel a deeper connection with the higher self and source consciousness. Cacao in its raw and natural state contains over 300 compounds, including the chemicals anandamide, phenylethylamine and theobromine which are known for euphoric-blissful states. The cacao we will use in this ceremony is pure, ceremonial grade.

WIM HOF Fundamentals Workshop
Saturday, September 30th, 11:00 am-4:00 pm
Put yourself in the expert hands of a Certified WHM Instructor Brian Assam to learn the 3 pillars of the Wim Hof Method:
- Breathing
- Cold Therapy
- Commitment
Find out how you can utilize oxygen and cold exposure to optimize your body and mind and learn about the underlying physiology. These workshops are available to a limited number of participants to allow for ample personal attention, and feedback tailored to your specific situation. The program generally kicks off with an introduction to the Wim Hof Method and always includes a breathing session and an (optional) ice bath. At the end, there is ample room for reflection, and the Instructor is there to answer questions throughout the workshop.
Instructors have their own specializations, and there is some variation across the individual workshops. A detailed overview of the day is sent out upon registration.
If you have no prior experience with cold exposure, we recommend you finish your showers cold in the days leading up to the workshop. This may be overwhelming at first, but just try to relax, focus on your breath, and bring it into a controlled, steady rhythm.
Who is this workshop for?
This workshop is suitable for everyone, but does require a basic level of health. Out of precaution, we advise against participation during pregnancy, or if you are epileptic. People with cardiovascular issues, or any other serious health conditions should always consult a medical professional before starting the Wim Hof Method.

Fall Community Cleanse
October 4th – 17th
RESET, REPLENISH, RENEW!
It’s that time of year again. The seasons are starting to change and it’s almost time to assist our bodies in making those changes and setting ourselves up for a healthy winter season. Now, more than ever, it seems our best defense for our body is a strong immune system. In the summer heat builds up in the tissues of our body and begins to dry things out. As we move into cooler temperatures our body tends to produce excess mucous in order to fight against that dryness. The excess mucous becomes a breeding ground for bacteria and viruses to take over. When we take the time to do a cleanse it allows us the opportunity to flush the excess heat, mucous, and toxins that have built up in our bodies.
The community cleanse utilizes the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda in order to help detoxify the body and reboot the digestive system, and going through the process with a community of others makes it all that much easier to get through it successfully. It is not a time of starvation or deprivation, we eat three (or four) meals each day and take specific herbs to assist the process of releasing toxins. It is a systematic two-week process that starts with preparing your body to go through the cleansing process (a four-day initial phase), doing the main cleanse (seven days), and then restoring your body to get back to eating your regular diet (a three-day reset phase). It is designed to be a two-week cleanse, but it can be customized to the length of time that you are able to commit to. If this timing doesn’t work for you, this can be flexible as well.
Callie Stolz, C.A.S., P.K.S., Clinical Ayurvedic Specialist and Pancha Karma (cleansing) Specialist, will be leading this two-week community cleanse. There will also be yoga detox classes offered in combination with the cleanse in order to assist in the process as well as additional support via zoom for those participants near or far!
What it includes: one digestive herbal formula (specific to your needs), four cleansing and rejuvenating herbal formulas, seven days’ worth of the Ayurvedic cleansing food, other recipes, a booklet of information on the step-by-step process, weekly meetings and daily email support through the process. We will meet the week prior to distribute all of the items needed for the cleanse and have a meeting about the details (if the designated time doesn’t work for you other arrangements can be made). All meetings will be possible to join via zoom.
If you are interested in doing the cleanse but you have questions, and you would like to have a meeting to discuss the cleanse and get set up it will be an additional $75 fee.
Investment: Repeat Cleansers $340; First Timers $370
Additional items also available (herbs, a tongue cleaner, tea, etc.)

“Each time women gather in circle with one another, the world heals a little more” -Unknown
Throughout history, women have gathered in circles to recognize our interconnectedness, share feminine wisdom, remember our soul’s desires and restore a sense of inner well-being. In the midst of this time of challenge, awakening and at times what may feel like a chaotic world, our intention is to offer a safe and sacred space for women of all ages to gather for ritual, movement, breath, song or chant, intention setting and sharing.
There is something so powerful when women come together to support each other on their journey. We are healed, we are nurtured, and we feel comforted and understood. As the days shorten and we’re guided inward, it’s a time to reflect on what we’ve accomplished over the year and allow space for shift, rest and rejuvenation. This autumnal equinox gives us the opportunity to connect with the grounding energies of the earth and the awe-inspiring energies of the stars, an auspicious time to restore balance in our lives and set ourselves up for the new season ahead!
Our invitation is for you to join us. The event is free to join, but please still sign up through our website so we can know how many to expect. We will be meeting at Santosha (in the yoga studio). Thanks!

Throughout history, women have gathered in moon circles to recognize our interconnectedness, share feminine wisdom, remember our 
soul’s desires and restore a sense of inner well being. In the midst of this time of challenge, awakening and at times what may feel like a chaotic world, our intention is to offer a safe and sacred space for women of all ages to gather for ritual, movement, breath, song or chant, intention setting and sharing. There is something so powerful when women come together to support each other on their journey. We are healed, we are nurtured, and we feel comforted and understood. Our invitation is for you to join us. Location will be around the fire pit at 326 Spruce Cone Dr. Please register on our website on our class schedule page. The event is free of charge, we would just like to know how many to expect. Thanks!

Santosha Spring Community Cleanse
May 4th-17th
Feeling worn out from the winter? Feeling bloated, low energy or foggy in the mind? Maybe it’s just time to have a reset and boost your immune system!
It’s that time of year again, to refresh, renew and revitalize! The community cleanse utilizes the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda in order to help detoxify the body and reboot the digestive system, plus going through the process with a community of others makes it all that much easier to get through it successfully. It is not a time of starvation or deprivation, we eat 3 (or 4) meals each day and take specific herbs to assist the process of releasing toxins. It is designed to be a two week cleanse, but it can be customized to the length of time that you are able to commit to and dates can be flexible if need be. You are also welcome to do it from a distance if you won’t be in Big Sky this spring!
What it includes: digestive herbal formula and body oil (specific to your needs), 4 cleansing and rejuvenating herbal formulas, 7 days of the Ayurvedic cleansing food, a booklet of information on the step by step process and some recipes, weekly meetings and daily email support through the process.
Want to learn more about it? Come to my free talk about spring cleansing April 27th at Santosha! If you missed it, we can also send you the link to the recording. Or you can make an appointment with Callie to sit down and discuss the cleanse, and ways in which it can be personalized to fit your needs if you’d like.

Derma Rolling Course for Home Use
Wednesday February 23th at 7:15 PM
Derma Rolling or Micro Needling is one of the best ways to stimulate collagen and elastin in the skin. The only way the skin can strengthen itself is when it is challenged.

You will learn about essential vitamins and ingredients in products that help support healthy skin function.
Derma Rollers will be provided and you will be able to take them home for continued use. Pre and post products will be supplied. You’ll be led through how to utilize the roller in a safe and effective manner. Come enjoy an evening of education and beauty.

Ultimately, shruti-tones give way to a 20-minute melodic soundscape which inspires us to explore all the sounds, textures, and volumes our unbridled voices wish to express. The results are often bliss, clarity, peace, and the buzz of expanded possibility. Vocalize feels like freestyle choir where we all intuitively know the ‘words’ and there’s no such thing as off-key.

The Poetry of Yoga: Coming hOMe to Your Wild
with Tara Eschenroeder
Sunday, September 26, 2021
to
I am honored to offer this special Master Class in beautiful Big Sky, Montana…
Infused with poetry from her self published, “Collecting Feathers” and “Landing hOMe,” Tara will take you on a journey hOMe. While drinking in the sacred sounds of heartbeat and breath, we will take the ability to listen and to feel even deeper within. We will tap into that intuitive sense of knowing; how and when to move and when to be still.
Allow yourself to reconnect to that sacred animal within and the poetry that is your practice, ultimately reminding us how to simply be free both on and off of the yoga mat as we continue to author the most epic novel of all; our life.
We are each born with this… the drum of our heartbeat and the ocean of our breath that are constantly calling us hOMe. The Madison Mountains are among the oldest mountains on Earth; filled with timeless wisdom that goes beyond any spoken language. When treading upon these ancient mountains, we remember ourselves as the very nature we revere and return to ourselves.

with Tara Eschenroeder

Are you a yoga teacher who is feeling overwhelmed balancing holding space for others while simultaneously holding space for yourself?
Are you a yoga student who is needing support to come back to your practice as we emerge from the last year and half of lockdown?
This offering is designed for ALL HUMANS and is an opportunity to find a practice that meets you where you are with open arms.
Join me as we dive deep within ourselves, with the support of this beautiful like-minded community, as we uncover and begin to cultivate the tools within us to keep us grounded and help us find and spread our wings. This workshop is a mixture of dharma talk, journaling, pranayama, and asana practice.
Some special offers for you!

Spring Community Cleanse
May 5th – May 18th
It’s time to rejuvenate and renew! Concerned because the cleanse already officially got started. No worries, lots of the group is getting started a little late this year, there is still time to jump on board! It is not about deprivation and starvation, it is about checking in and giving yourself the time to look inward and decide what kind of reboot would work best for you this spring. It could be a mindful whole foods conscious clean up or a full on ayurvedic inspired spring detox, or somewhere in between. I will be offering more options this spring so you can choose a program that serves you best. You’ll still have the option to do it as a systematic way of cleansing your body and resetting your digestive system through 
eating whole foods and some Ayurvedic cleansing foods, taking specific herbs, and incorporating some things into your daily routine that assist the cleansing process. All cleansers will be asked to fill out a short questionnaire previous to getting started in order to determine your specific needs for the cleanse. You will also have worksheets included in your cleanse booklet this year in order to allow you to customize your time in a way that best serves you. You could simply choose to participate with the daily emails and weekly zoom calls, add a simple version of some herbal support or choose to do the traditional route with the complete ayurvedic herbal formulas and Kitchari. It is designed to be a 2 week cleanse, but it can be customized to the length of time that you are interested in doing it. If you would like to do it on more of an individual basis or at another time altogether or you are not able to make the Awareness Wednesday (virtual or in person) meeting and explanation of the cleanse, you are welcome to set up an individual consultation. Please contact Callie with any questions at callie@santoshabigsky.com.
Cleanse Time Options:
Full Cleanse includes: the kitchari kit- rice, dal, spices and ghee, 5 cleansing herbal formulas (digestive support, blood cleanse, liver cleanse, turmeric plus, shilajit)
Full Cleanse investment: $270 (for repeat Santosha cleansers) $295 (for first-timers) Register by April 14th and save $25!
Ala Carte Options:
Participation and information only: $50
Add-on Just the basics: (This includes a bag of split mung dal, Total Body Cleanse herbal formula and Triphala) $52.97
Additional items also available (additional herbs, probiotics, tongue cleaner, etc.). Or if you just want some of the herbs or kitchari kit you are welcome to customize your package as well.

Women’s Yoga Jam with Shannon Steele
Wednesday, April 28th 7:30-8:30pm
Women’s Yoga Jam is an opportunity to connect with your ‘felt’ sense: the awareness of how your body glides through space, the sensations that arise within your body while moving and grooving, and discovering what feels good beat by beat. We leave our egos, our doubt and judgment at the door as we step onto our mats for a guided movement expression. Combining yoga and (low-key) dance is not only a perceptual and grounding experience, but aids in self-awareness, emotion regulation and stress reduction. Come for the music. Come for the movement. Come for the community. Come as you are.

Season’s Breathings with Beacon Collective
Sunday, March 7th 4:30-6:30pm
In this breathing exploration, we weave with the powerful cycles of our planet. A dynamic soundscape guides us through release (fall),
stillness (winter), rebirth (spring), and celebration (summer)… ultimately returning our souls to a state of peaceful surrender. This is an opportunity to go deep – This container is for courageous explorers of self and spirit.
Mother Earth and breath are our wisest teachers. We’ll ask them for guidance. Then we’ll listen. Winter is transitioning to spring. Are you prepared?
This experience will cultivate your self-sourced belief in the power of breath, vocal expression, and movement to navigate life. If you’re over complex philosophies and conceptual hula-hoops, then welcome to your landing pad. Season’s Breathings is like embodiment gymboree.
We’ll close with tips to carry conscious embodiment beyond this experience. A handful of simple practices cultivate peace, deepen resiliency, and regulate emotional swings in any circumstance. This is an invitation to anchor embodiment as a way of being.
Your Guides: Chelsea & Daniel’s partnership is a unique balance of New & Old, East & West, Feminine & Masculine, and Internal & External that builds bridges to mold-shattering experiences. We may team up in all facets of life, but co-guiding embodiment experiences for courageous humans is of our highest excitement.
We intentionally facilitate wide open spaces that put participants at the helm of their inner exploration and growth. Breathing with US is a deeply meditative practice of listening and responding to intuitive wisdom. We believe that this approach has a greater impact on your wellbeing, particularly beyond workshop containers, than more regimented alternatives.
We studied under breathwork mentors in London and Los Angeles. By combining ancient wisdom of ceremony and space-holding with our passions for music, movement, and storytelling, we offer a fully immersive experience for modern times.

Spring Equinox Sonic Wash with Janet DeHart and Callie Stolz
Wednesday, March 17th 7:30-8:45pm
Music and sound has long been considered a method of cleansing and resetting homeostasis. From ancient tibetan practices to modern scientific studies, the health benefits of sound frequency technologies is widely accepted.
The session will be led by two healing practitioners trained in the use of various instruments — gongs, chimes, tuning forks, singing bowls — to facilitate meditation, relaxation and, ultimately, healing. These are simply tools that simulate and soothe sensory and neuron pathways so you can deepen into a parasympathetic state of consciousness.
Set up a personal zone for yourself to cocoon or nest in for the hour; may include: mat, onesie, cozy socks, eye mask and a personal significant item. You can sit, lay down, curl up — create a comfortable space so you can focus on staying present with the sounds and vibrations. We also encourage you to be hydrated. Sound waves carry on water, and the more hydrated you are, the more likely the frequencies will have a penetrating effect.
The in-studio experience is limited to 8 people while the virtual in-home option is unlimited.
Investment: In studio~ $25

Facial Gua Sha is a massage technique designed to relieve tension in the muscles of the face, boost blood circulation, and encourage lymphatic drainage to reduce swelling and inflammation. It helps break up fascia, the connective tissue that hugs muscles and can sometimes interfere with optimal circulation. Gua Sha increases circulation improving lymphatic function, resulting in a naturally dewy, glowing complexion.
Come for an evening of self-care and education as you learn how to Gua Sha your face. We will cover ways to move lymph and reduce puffiness as well as how to contour the face and muscles.
If you have a tool please bring it. Tools will be provided and can be purchased after the class. We will also discuss skin health and nutrition. Pre and post products will be provided.

Derma Rolling Course for How Use with Samara Alcoke
Thursday, March 25th 7:15-8:15pm
Derma Rolling or Micro Needling is a great tool for stimulating collagen and creating healthier skin. Fine lines, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation can all be diminished with regular derma rolling.
Come and learn about skin health, topical nutrition (product ingredients) and how to exercise the skin. Derma Rolling or Micro Needling is one of the best ways to stimulate collagen and elastin in the skin. The only way the skin can strengthen itself is when it is challenged. Just like building muscles there needs to be a micro trauma to the skin for it to signal the body to send collagen and elastin building proteins to the dermis. You will learn about essential vitamins and ingredients in products that help support healthy skin function.
Derma Rollers will be provided and you will be able to take them home for continued use. Pre and post products will be supplied. You’ll be led through how to utilize the roller in a safe and effective manner. Come enjoy an evening of education and beauty.
Must be 18 or older. This is a tool that has .3 mm needles puncturing the skin. For more details or to ask questions reach out to Samara 720-590-0191. Samara is a Licensed Esthetician and you can find out more about her @Skincareoftheworld on IG, FB, or www.skincareoftheworld.com

Full Moon Women’s Circle
Monday, August 3rd 8:00-9:30pm
“Each time women gather in circle with one another, the world heals a little more” -Unknown
Throughout history, women have gathered in moon circles to recognize our interconnectedness, share feminine wisdom, remember our soul’s desires and restore a sense of inner well being. In the midst of this time of challenge, awakening and at times what may feel like a chaotic world, our intention is to offer a safe and sacred space for women of all ages to gather for ritual, movement, breath, song or chant, intention setting and sharing. There is something so powerful when women come together to support each other on their journey. We are healed, we are nurtured, and we feel comforted and understood. This full moon can give us the opportunity to connect with the grounding energies of the earth and cosmos as well as to recognize and celebrate this awakening and the culmination of our intentions.

New Moon Women’s Circle- CANCELLED
Sunday, June 21st 8:00-9:30pm
Due to the current spike in COVID-19 in our community we have decided to postpone our gathering this evening to the next full moon on Sunday, July 5th. We apologize for the last minute shift in plans, it just seemed the socially responsible thing to do at this time. Please save the date of Sunday evening July 5th to connect, more details will be posted about this soon. However, this is still a very powerful time for planting seeds and setting intentions. So my hope for all of you is that you all spend at least a little time in nature at some point today connecting with your inner wisdom and manifesting all your heart desires. Thank you for your understanding. Happy summer, happy new moon, happy solar eclipse and happy new beginnings!!

Spring Community Cleanse
April 29th – May 19th (you choose the best dates for you)
It’s time to rejuvenate and renew! The community cleanse is going to be a bit different this spring. The earliest start date will be April 29th, or you are welcome to start a little later than that if that works better for you. It is not about deprivation and starvation, it is about checking in and giving yourself the time to look inward and decide what kind of reboot would work best for you this spring. It could be a mindful whole foods conscious clean up or a full on ayurvedic inspired spring detox, or somewhere in between. I will be offering more options this spring so you can choose a program that serves you best. You’ll still have the option to do it as a systematic way of cleansing your body and resetting your digestive system through eating whole foods and some Ayurvedic cleansing foods, taking specific herbs, and incorporating some things into your daily routine that assist the cleansing process. All cleansers will be asked to fill out a short questionnaire previous to getting started in order to determine your specific needs for the cleanse. You will also have worksheets included in your cleanse booklet this year in order to allow to customize your time in a way that best serves you. You could simply choose to participate with the daily emails and weekly zoom calls, add a simple version of some herbal support or choose to do the traditional route with the complete ayurvedic herbal formulas and Kitchari. It is designed to be a 2 week cleanse, but it can be customized to the length of time that you are interested in doing it. If you would like to do it on more of an individual basis or at another time altogether or you are not able to make the Awareness Wednesday zoom meeting and explanation of the cleanse, you are welcome to set up an individual consultation. Please contact Callie with any questions at callie@santoshabigsky.com.
Cleanse Time Options:
Full Cleanse includes: the kitchari kit- rice, dal, spices and ghee, 7 cleansing herbal formulas (digestive support, blood cleanse, liver cleanse, turmeric plus, shilajit, beet cleanse, and triphala)
Full Cleanse investment: $250 (for repeat Santosha cleansers) $275 (for first-timers) Register by April 16th and save $25! Bring a friend (information/participation only) for an additional $25
Ala Carte Options:
Participation and information only: $50
Add-on Just the basics: (This includes a bag of split mung dal, Total Body Cleanse herbal formula and Triphala) $52.97
Additional items also available (additional herbs, probiotics, tongue cleaner, etc.). Or if you just want some of the herbs or kitchari kit you are welcome to customize your package as well.

Ecstatic Dance with Amy Raven
Friday, February 21st 7:15-8:15 PM
Ecstatic dance is a movement practice featuring elements of experimentation, intuitive interpretation, and physical expression. Through a practice of movement and stillness, we create a balance of polarities. It’s not about being a “good” dancer, it’s about listening, releasing, and allowing your body to break through stuck energy. Moving the body activates the force within! Transcend through movement while you breathe, flow, shake, dance, sweat, and surrender. Allow euphoria to wash over you with the celebration of balance while you gather in the community to dance.
Investment: Early Bird $15 until February 14th, after February 14th the drop-in rate is $20

Sound Meditation and Experience with Shaamaahs
Sunday, January 19th 2:00-4:15pm
What is sound meditation? This phrase is very prominent these days, and most of us are simply
curious on how sound meditation can help us achieve focus, and re-engage our “true self”. If I were to point to a single phrase that encompasses the importance of sound in relation to the human psyche and personal well being … It would be this.
“If you want to find the secrets of the Universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and
vibration” -Nikola Tesla
We as humans are walking energy, vibrating at multiple frequencies. If we’re to break this idea down into the esoteric realm of Chakra meditation …. It is important to note the seven major Chakras and the Universal OM have their own individual frequencies/notes. The Chakras are an intricate energy system that communicates with our bodies glandular functions.
The importance of developing the Pranic Energy Body connection with Chakra balancing
involves initiating the subtle energy body via yoga and meditation. This can be accomplished
with sound meditation to help focus working with the specific Chakras and developing our subtle
energy bodies ability to “oscillate” with an external sound catalyst. This workshop is designed to
be accessible by all levels of yogic, and meditative pursuits and will cover these subjects.
• Sound meditation theory involving both esoteric and analytical approaches.
• Introduction to Himalayan Singing Bowls, how to “sing” a bowl, and proper evaluation of
potential Singing Bowl prior to purchase.
• Spinal Pranayamic breath via Shushumna visualization.
• Chakra energy point stimulation via visualization and “brushing / stirring” techniques.
• Chakra Bija Mantra toning, Mudra exercises, and Breath Awareness.
• Following these exercises I will perform a 1 hour Chakra sound meditation involving Tuvan
Throat Singing, Himalayan Singing Bowls and a Shruti Box. Students will have an
opportunity to either lay in Svasana, or sitting meditation to include optional Chakra
visualization, Mudra, and 3rd eye lock.
• All attendees with receive a choice of 4 different high resolution 1hr long ShaamaahS Chakra
meditations and “cheat sheet” with Chakra descriptions, Mudra, and Mantras.
• Students will leave this class with the ability to practice, and develop their own personal
meditation practice.
• For an audio preview of the sound meditation go to www.shaamaahs.com/music

Awareness Wednesday
Introduction to the POWER OF THE BEAUTIFUL STATE
January 15th 7:30-8:30pm
We are excited to say that the 2-day transformational POWER of THE BEAUTIFUL STATE two-day Course is coming back to Big Sky in the beginning of May. However, we couldn’t wait to share with you a few of our favorite take-aways from the course this past fall and give you a couple tools to begin practicing to help you access this “power of the beautiful state”. Jill Singer, Kallie Harrison and Callie Stolz will be offering an introduction of this workshop and some powerful tools to take into your day to day life.
POWER of THE BEAUTIFUL STATE is simply and profoundly an effective method to access Presence or Higher Intelligence for more authentic living, abundance and connection. It is A Consciousness Game Changer. Last fall, Elizabeth Scherwenka (from Marin) and Lea Flocchini (from Sun Valley, Idaho) offered this as a weekend course. We had such a great response to it and further interest that we are excited to have them back again this spring. This weekend course is designed for those who’ve been on a spiritual path for years, for those who have never meditated or tried but failed at meditation, and for those who have gotten entirely too busy to push the pause button. More than a meditation course, it is a revolutionary program, grounded in neuroscience and balanced beautifully with wisdom teachings, ancient processes and simple practices, that gently guides participants from stressful, divisive states to calm, connected states.

Embrace Your Feminine: Understanding and using your hormone cycle for productivity and creativity in home and work
with Dr. Carlye Luft December 18th 7:30-8:30pm
There is no question the “Feminine” now plays a powerful role in western culture. Yes, we can “have it all”. However, women are 
beginning to realize that “doing more” does not necessarily equate to efficiency and productivity. The activities and responsibilities of professional career work, taking care of family, and managing a household is beginning to take its toll on many American women. This makes me recall the advice given to me many times by my mentor and good friend, Coral Grant, which is to never confuse activity with accomplishment. Our “Do-it-all” and “do-more” nature has kept us from taking breaks, creating disease due to stress, and struggling with anxiety.
Join Dr. Carlye Luft, Naturopathic Physician, Mayan Shamanic Healer, to learn how to embrace your cyclical nature of femininity. Understand and use your female hormone cycle to your advantage to be more productive and creative at work while still having a strong presence in your family and not sacrificing self-care – by simply doing less when it is called for.
This workshop is inspired by the Mayan Shamanic and Metaphysical Teachings of my Master Teacher- Dr. Suzan Rossi; my good friend and mentor-Coral Grant, and the book “Do Less” by Kate Northrup.
As always, Awareness Wednesdays are free and open to anyone, so come on in and broaden your awareness!

Sound Healing with Amy Raven
July 28th 6:30-7:45pm
Why does sound have such an effect on the soul? Why do millions gather together from around the world to hear music? Why do we feel lighter after dancing until sunrise? A song can bring us to time travel in the mind, stir emotion, completely altering the state of being.
Everything around us has an external frequency- sometimes ineffable and imperceptible, sometimes palpable and authenticating- oscillating across the spectrum of being from living to non-living
and non-living to living. Sound effects can create an acceleration of an inward journey.
Time suspended as we enter a world of sensation the brain rests into theta waves. Theta is the brains deepest repair state. Physical injuries can be healed old emotional traumas released, insights can be accessed, leaving us vibrantly alive.
Bring anything that will make you comfortable for the inner ward journey. Pillow, eye mask, crystals, intentions, a friend, and an open mind.
Investment: Early Bird Price is $20 until 7/21st; after that it is $25

Chakra Sound Bath Meditation
With Shaamaahs
Saturday, February 9th 7:00-8:00pm
This sound meditation I’ve developed uses esoteric “drone” instruments in a specific tuning that is relative to natural ratios that are seen within the natural world, our physiology, our solar system and ancient cultural paradigms. IE: Fibonacci, Phi, and Pythagorean theorem. These natural ratios are incorporated with Tuvan/Kargyraa throat singing, matched octave singing bowls per each Chakra frequency, and a Shruti Box. This is performed solo and in unison to create a oscillation catalyst that allows for a phenomenon called “Sympathetic Resonance”. Each instrument used in this meditation when combined is something that when experienced is very unique and quite powerful at each progressive level of energy body development.
The goal of these sound meditations is to simply perform and provide a meditation that has the potential to relax, improve health, explore inwards and reach the true “teacher” within all of us. Space is limited for this amazing experience- in order to hold your spot give us a call at (406)993-2510 or register online by clicking here and going to the workshops tab.

Technology-Enhanced Mindfulness w/ Jay Sanguinetti
Stimulating your brain with Light and Sound to boost your Meditation practice
Sunday, January 27th, 1:00-2:30p.m.
The workshop will discuss using noninvasive brain stimulation to enhance meditation practice. We will focus on two relatively new modalities for brain stimulation: ultrasound and light. Part one will be a demo of how low-intensity ultrasound can accelerate meditation practice. We will run through an ultrasound + meditation protocol so the audience can get a sense of what the total setup looks like. (We call it SEM – sonication enhanced mindfulness). In the second part of the workshop, Jay will introduce another type of brain stimulation system that uses near-infrared light (via low power LEDs) to enhance brain function during meditation. Participants will get a chance to try low-level light stimulation while they meditate and will have an opportunity to discuss their phenomenological experience at the end. Space will be limited to 15 people, so register today! You can register by calling Santosha at (406)993-2510 or book online by clicking here and going to the workshops page.
