Storytelling Retreat
Storytelling Retreat:
Reconnecting with Your True Voice
What if the stories you’ve been told—about yourself, about the world—aren’t the ones you’re meant to live? What if your true voice has been waiting, beneath the layers of expectation, ready to be heard?
Join us for a four-night, five-day Storytelling Retreat where we step away from inherited narratives and listen to the wisdom that emerges from within. Through nature, reflection, and storytelling, we will reconnect with the voice that has always been ours.
This is not about finding your voice—it has always been there. It’s about unraveling the voices that have shaped you and reconnecting with the one that is most truly yours.
Through guided storytelling, time in nature, deep listening, and reflection, we will:
✨ Deconstruct the stories we’ve been told and examine how they’ve shaped us
✨ Use the outer wilderness as a mirror for our inner landscape
✨ Reconnect with the voice that has always been ours
✨ Find clarity, freedom, and authenticity in the stories we tell moving forward
In the presence of nature and community, we will rewrite, reclaim, and rediscover the voice that is uniquely ours.
Song Circle with The Vital Hive at Somatic Wisdom Institute
Come sing from your heart…dancing and improvisation are welcome too!
Join Micah McLaughlin and Matu Kurzava of The Vital Hive as they lead our community in heart songs! We will gather to share and celebrate songs of devotion from all around the world. These songs of love and healing are intended to connect us to our own hearts, to each other, to mother earth and to the Great Mystery. Those joining are invited to bring any instruments they might play as well as songs they feel inspired to share (or just bring your voices and your presence).
Ancestor Altar Cloth Workshop
Come create something beautiful, meaningful, and deeply personal. In this hands-on experience, artist Bree Moblo and somatic guide, Leah Grace, will lead you through a meditation to connect with your lineage, followed by the creation of a stunning “Ancestor Altar Cloth”—a art piece that begins with you at the center and spirals outward through 7 to 9 generations. This is more than an art project—it’s a journey of remembrance, reverence, and reclamation. You’ll leave with a meaningful altar piece and a deeper connection to those who came before you. No art experience needed! Arrive with your presence, curiosity, and open heart and leave with a greater sense of your ancestral allies plus a powerful piece of artwork to display on your personal altar.
*Please note that this is not a family tree - you do not need to know your ancestral family of origin to create this artwork.
We’ll provide all the materials and inspiration that you’ll need to create your altar cloth. We’ll have snacks, tea + water, as well.
Moon Ceremony with Kaycee Joy, The Queer Priestess
These monthly moon ceremonies provide space for the sacred feminine to emerge from the deepest parts of our body & soul.
Come gather in a circle of women for a moon ceremony. Kaycee Joy is thrilled to bring this offering to the community once a month. These ceremonies invite sisters to circle up and work with the moon cycles, astrology, ritual, archetypes, soul journeys, goddess traditions and so much more. Each session will be tailored around a new theme to work with throughout the month. You’ll be immersed in the divine feminine spirit, free to explore all of your parts that are asking to be tended to.
This is a Circle for women + non-binary humans who identify with women’s containers.
Somatic Yoga for Deep Rest
This is a space to slow down, listen deeply, and reconnect with your body’s natural rhythms. Through gentle movement, somatic awareness, and nervous system-informed practices, we create a container for true rest and restoration.
If you’re craving softness, stillness, and a break from the noise — this is for you.
In this practice, rest isn’t something we “earn” — it’s a birthright.
Somatic Yoga for Deep Rest is rooted in trauma-informed principles. We move slowly, intentionally, and with care — tuning in to the body’s messages rather than overriding them. This isn’t about pushing or performing. It’s about resisting the societal hustle and revolutionizing REST — to feel, release, and restore.
Your body holds deep wisdom. Let’s listen.
Join in and experience what deep rest really feels like.
This 90-minute class will begin with calming breathwork before moving into gentle, invitational movement. The second half of class will foster deep rest and nervous system regulation as you sink into supported restorative shapes surrounded by a gentle sound bath of singing bowls, gong, chimes and other percussion. This class is adaptive and inclusive - Sarah offers MANY options for new and seasoned yoga practitioners. We have blankets, mats, blocks and bolsters in the studio space, but feel free to bring your own for added comfort!
Sarah is a member of Yoga Alliance and is also a certified trauma-informed SHE RECOVERS Yoga Teacher.
☕️ Cacao Meditation with Ryan DeLuca
Our heart is believed to be the seat of our intuition, the place in our body where we can connect to who we truly are. This event invites you to enjoy a cup of ceremonial cacao that has been hand-crafted by Somatic Wisdom Institute lead teacher, Ryan DeLuca. Ryan will guide you through a gentle breath and embodiment practice to quiet your mind and relax your nervous system. The session will move into a guided meditation of your heart space, inviting you to connect deeper to yourself and your life.
This heart-centered class will recur on the third Friday of each month.

Embodiment Series - Unveil Your Authentic Self
All of us were once children filled with light, curiosity, and wonder. Small and vulnerable, we had to figure out how to stay safe and find belonging in the world we grew up in.
Many times, the best option in overwhelming situations was to move our attention in an attempt to “turn down” the volume of whatever was “too much” or upsetting to us.
Ultimately, five options arose to turn down that volume:
Leave our body
Merge with others in the hope they could meet our needs
Hunker down and endure the storm
Get aggressive in an attempt to get what we want
Become rigid and follow the rules
These are the 5 Personality Patterns we all relied on to make it to adulthood.
Even after realizing we have better options to stay safe and connected, these habitual ways of seeing the world taint our experience of the here and now. Instead of responding to the present moment, the habitual responses from our past take over.
The good news is that these personality patterns are not who you are.
It’s not your most authentic expression.
In fact, your personality patterns are what keep your truest self from shining through.
Underneath your personality patterns is where you can connect back to your most authentic self.
Join Vitalist lead teachers, Kaycee Joy and Ryan DeLuca, for this six-week Embodiment Series aimed at connecting you back to your soul's most authentic expression through an embodied understanding of the 5 Personality Patterns.
