a place to BE
in community & connection 

In this space, we get to share movement, unified breathwork, meditation, self-reflection and conversation in a way that allows us to reflect on our core beliefs and perspectives to see whether they are limiting or liberating.

 

Together We explore:

~Practicing yoga, meditating, dancing, conversations and studying ourselves and different philosophies. 

~Intertwining human nature with the heart of compassion

~Each and every gathering/class/session has a sense of spaciousness, no rush, time to connect before and after.  This allows our nervous system to relax and receive.

​

The purpose of a place to BE is to create a space and atmosphere where everyone that longs for healing, inspiration and community feels welcome.  As we practice and reflect together, possibilities of a more fulfilling and vibrant life may become more in reach.  Living life with conscious awareness and a willingness to reflect on what creates the most peace within and in our relationships is the essence of

'a place to BE'.  

This is a community space.   This place for people desiring to slow down, find sacred space and connection.   This is a healing arts collective, and You may find yoga, dance, meditation, spoken word, kirtan and much more practiced in this space.

 

​

 

Do you want to learn how to thrive in challenging circumstances?  

Life holds the potential to see obstacles OR opportunities.  Intuitive Life coaching and mind/body techniques like yoga can provide tools to "See" the opportunities and live from a more liberated perspective.

This approach of integrating body awareness techniques, mindfulness practices and an exploration of meaning and purpose can lead to greater sense of satisfaction and peacefulness.
