Hero's Journey: October ~ The Sage

October Archetype of the Month: The Sage

Cultivating Wisdom, Truth, Discernment, and Deeper Understanding

As we move into October, we enter the reflective and grounding space of The Sage archetype: the part of us that seeks truth, understanding, wisdom, and a deeper perspective on life.

The Sage is not simply someone who knows a lot or has accumulated years of experience. The Sage is the energy within us that asks meaningful questions, listens deeply, looks beneath the surface, and remains open to learning.

The Sage reminds us that wisdom is more than information. It is the ability to discern what is true, integrate what we have learned, and live from a deeper understanding of ourselves, others, and the world around us.

In a culture filled with constant information, opinions, distractions, and competing voices, The Sage offers us a different way forward: one that values stillness, reflection, curiosity, and discernment. The Sage invites us to slow down enough to listen—not only to what is being said around us, but also to the quiet wisdom within.

Yet many of us have become uncomfortable with not knowing. We may feel pressure to have the answers, make quick decisions, or immediately understand what something means. We may look outside ourselves for certainty while overlooking the wisdom that can emerge when we become quiet and present.

The Sage teaches us that not knowing can be a doorway to wisdom.

Sometimes the deepest understanding comes not from finding an immediate answer, but from asking a better question.

The Sage invites us to become lifelong learners—to remain curious, humble, and willing to see things from a new perspective. Wisdom grows when we are willing to learn from experience, listen to others, acknowledge what we do not know, and allow life itself to continue teaching us.

Throughout October, our Soma Faith practices will focus on embodied experiences that cultivate the inner Sage. Through movement, meditation, EFT tapping, reflection, music, breath, and mindful presence, we will explore what it means to embody healthy wisdom—the ability to pause, listen, discern, integrate, and respond rather than simply react.

The healthy Sage knows:

• Wisdom begins with curiosity.

• I do not need to know everything.

• Stillness creates space for understanding.

• I can learn from both joy and difficulty.

• Discernment helps me know what to carry forward and what to release.

• Truth invites freedom rather than fear.

• Experience becomes wisdom when I take time to reflect upon it.

This month is an invitation to slow down and listen more deeply.

What is life trying to teach you right now?

What truth have you been avoiding, overlooking, or perhaps slowly coming to understand?

What wisdom have you gained through your own journey that you might now be ready to embrace?

The Sage reminds us that wisdom is not something we simply acquire. It is something we embody.

As we become more present, we begin to notice. As we notice, we begin to understand. As we understand, we become more able to choose how we respond.

May October be:

• A season of reflection.

• A season of deeper listening.

• A season of curiosity and discovery.

• A season of discerning what is true.

• A season of allowing experience to become wisdom.

The Sage's Invitation:

“Slow down. Listen deeply. Stay curious. Trust that wisdom grows when you make space to understand.”

Join us this month as we explore the transformative power of The Sage through movement, mindfulness, faith, and embodied practice.

Wisdom begins with presence.
Understanding begins with curiosity.
And truth becomes transformative when we allow it to change the way we live.

Welcome to The Sage.

---

We’re on a heroic journey for 2026. Each month we spotlight a different hero archetype through dance, movement, exploration, discussion, and education.

All experiences will be online via Zoom with 1-7 day replays.

There will be live movement classes 10am Monday, Thursday, Saturday, Fridays, plus Saturday 8:45 5 Stages Developmental Experiences, all via zoom with replays.

Helen will teach the majority of these classes, Irene will continue to provide Feldenkrais experiences and Natasha and Gigi teach Nia.

You can also enjoy rePLAY experiences including dance breaks, EFT tapping, Evolutionary Mystic Meditations and more varying from 10 - 45 minutes with 3 day replays.

Beyond continuing to provide our regular somatic (Body Centered) movement experiences that support your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing, this new 12‑month, 365‑day, project aims to

• deepen our understanding of the personalities within us by exploring them through movement, exploration and education.

• develop additional resources for self‑awareness and fascination

• move toward being the best humans we can be (yes! let’s dream and aim big LOL)

The 12 hero archetypes, popularized from Carl Jung's work, are universal character patterns used in storytelling, branding, and psychology, representing core human motivations and experiences, and include the Innocent, Everyman, Hero, Caregiver, Explorer, Rebel, Creator, Lover, Jester, Sage, Magician, and Ruler, each seeking different things like freedom, connection, or mastery. 

The 12 Archetypes:

• The Innocent: Seeks happiness and safety; optimistic, simple.

• The Everyman: Wants to belong and connect; relatable, down-to-earth.

• The Rebel: Wants revolution and to break rules; disruptive, transformative.

• The Explorer: Seeks freedom and new experiences; adventurous, independent.

• The Hero: Aims to prove worth through courageous action; competent, disciplined.

• The Lover: Seeks intimacy, connection, and passion; sensual, loyal.

• The Caregiver: Desires to help and protect others; nurturing, generous.

• The Jester: Wants to live in the moment and bring joy; fun, playful.

• The Creator: Aims to build something of enduring value; innovative, artistic.

• The Sage: Seeks truth and understanding; wise, knowledgeable.

• The Magician: Wants to make dreams come true; visionary, powerful.

• The Ruler: Seeks control and order; authoritative, leader. 

How They're Used:

These archetypes help authors create relatable characters, build strong brands by aligning with consumer desires, and offer frameworks for personal growth by identifying one's dominant patterns. 

“In 1996, as a Nia Technique trainer, realizing I needed to do more of my own inner work and be better able to hold space for leading people through embodied movement experiences, I began a master’s in Alternative Dance Therapy at the Jung Center in Houston. That started a 30-year journey of fascinated interest in authentic movement, archetypes, and somatic (body centered) healing.

I’m excited to bring these passions to our 365 and 30 day movement journeys in 2026.”

— Helen Terry

Each month you will receive

• information, prompting questions and a group discussion session around the archetype

• movement classes with foci that support the “archetype of the month”

• pop up experiences that enhance our exploration of the “archetype of the month”

• group discussions and community connection through our private facebook group

As a community we’ll co‑create playlists and immersive experiences such as “Blue Monkey” improv’ classes and FreeDance explorations.

Soma News

Come enjoy Soma Cuppa on Monday at 11am.

Hello October, Hello Sage!

Helen here from Soma Ranch, where there is always something moving, growing, changing, or being renovated!

We’re welcoming October with a brand-new archetype for our Soma journey: The Sage.

The Sage invites us to get out of our heads and drop into our bodies. We spend so much of our lives being “top heavy,” thinking, analyzing, figuring things out and trying to find the answers. What if some of the wisdom we’re looking for is already waiting for us in our bodies?

That’s where we’re headed this month.

TOMORROW, SATURDAY WITH HELEN

8:45 AM | Soma 5 Stages + EFT Tapping

We’ll introduce The Sage and begin exploring what happens when we slow down, tune in and listen to the wisdom of our bodies.

10:00 AM | Soma Faith Movement

Then we’ll move to the beautiful music of Karen Drucker, creating space to breathe, move, listen and drop a little deeper into ourselves.

No need to have all the answers. The Sage might simply suggest that we listen first!

Both classes are on Zoom. Usual class rates apply, and your Zoom link arrives when you purchase your class pass.

MONDAY CUPPA this monday!

After Monday’s 10:00 AM Soma Faith class, we’ll gather for our monthly Soma Cuppa at 11:00 AM.

Bring your stories, requests, updates, prayer requests and whatever else you’re carrying into the week. Our Monthly Community Cuppa Event is one of those simple Soma traditions we love.

And yes, there will probably be some good conversation and a little bit of laughter. There usually is!

WHAT’S HAPPENING AROUND THE RANCH?

The studio kitchen is DONE!

After a little Joe Terry craftsmanship and magic, the new shelves and updated kitchen area are complete, and Helen is officially delighted.

Of course, around here, finishing one project simply means looking around and finding the next one….

Yes! The wallpaper in the laundry room is coming DOWN!

One room at a time. One project at a time. One cup of coffee at a time.

That’s life at Soma Ranch.

We hope you’ll join us this weekend as we welcome October, meet the Sage, move our bodies, connect with our community and maybe discover a little wisdom along the way.

With love from Soma Ranch,
Helen & Joe 💚

Opening Prayer for the Sage Archetype

Here is a sample of how we bring prayer to the begining and end of each Soma Faith Movement class.

We want these experiences to be safe, welcoming and inclusive to all who want to experience Soma Faith.

Opening Prayer

Spirit of Wisdom,
Holy Mystery,
Source of all that teaches and all that lives,
We arrive here today with open bodies and open hearts.
Help us to become quiet enough to listen.
May we listen beyond the noise of the mind,
beyond what we think we already know,
and into the deeper wisdom of our bodies,
our breath, our senses, our experiences
and the sacred mystery within and around us.

Teach us the wisdom of slowing down.
Teach us the wisdom of noticing.
Teach us the wisdom of asking better questions
 rather than needing immediate answers.

May this dance awaken something ancient and wise within us.

May we remember:
We are students.
We are seekers.
We are receivers.

And we are also bearers of wisdom.
Amen.

Drop In: Meet the Sage | Saturday, October 3 | Online with Helen Terry

Drop In: Meet the Sage | Saturday, October 3 | Online with Helen Terry

Tomorrow morning, we invite you to drop in.

Not drop out. Not check out. Drop in.

October brings us to the Sage archetype, and the Sage reminds us that wisdom is not found only in our busy, thinking minds. Sometimes the deepest knowing comes when we quiet the noise, come home to our bodies, and listen.

8:45 AM | Soma 5 Stages + EFT Tapping

We’ll begin with Soma 5 Stages, incorporating EFT tapping as we introduce and explore this month’s archetype, The Sage.

Together, we’ll begin shifting from thinking about our experience to actually feeling and listening to what our body has to say.

Where does wisdom live in your body?

What might you discover when you slow down enough to listen?

10:00 AM | Soma Faith Movement

Then at 10:00 AM, we’ll move into Soma Faith Movement, accompanied by the beautiful, soulful music of Karen Drucker.

This class invites us to go deeper into the Sage experience: dropping into the body for wisdom, insight and inner knowing rather than relying solely on our top-heavy mind.

There is nothing you need to figure out.

Nothing you need to get right.

Just an invitation to move, breathe, listen and discover what your body already knows.

Come move. Come listen. Come drop in.

Both classes are led by Helen Terry and are held online via Zoom, so you can join us from wherever you are.

Usual class rates apply. Your Zoom link will be sent when you purchase your class pass.

Need help getting connected or have a question?
Email helen@somaranch.com

We’d love to have you with us tomorrow morning.

Come meet the Sage.
Come home to your body.
Drop in.

A Few Shelves, a Little Magic, and a Whole New Soma Kitchen

What a Difference a Few Shelves Make!

What a difference a few shelves, and a whole lot of Joe Terry craftsmanship and magic, can make!

We are delighted with the outcome of our newly updated kitchen area.

We installed the bottom cabinets way back in 2009, and they have served us well as a kitchen for class events and for our Airbnb guests staying in our Barndo Beauty. But now, both the function and the aesthetics have been taken to a whole new level.

A few thoughtful changes, some beautiful new shelving, and Joe's craftsmanship have transformed the space into something that feels fresh, welcoming, and wonderfully Soma.

We hope you'll come admire it and enjoy this little upgrade in person. There's something special about seeing, feeling, and experiencing the space for yourself.

“Whenever I need a break or feel a tad stressed while working at Soma Ranch, I step away from my desk, wander over to the studio building, and soak in the relaxation I sense and feel in this beautiful new space.”

— Helen Terry, Soma Ranch

17 Years of Soma Ranch And Still Evolving

What a beautiful way to celebrate 17 years of Soma Ranch!

To everyone who joined us online and in person for our birthday celebration thank you! Your presence, your energy, your laughter, your movement, and your love made this milestone especially meaningful to Joe and Helen.

And as our birthday gift to you, enjoy the replay of our birthday class (BELOW), a little piece of the celebration you can enjoy, share with a friend, as a reminder of this wonderful Soma journey.

We have such deep appreciation for everyone who has been part of this journey with us. Seventeen years holds a lot of stories, friendships, movement, laughter, learning, and love. We are incredibly grateful for every person who has helped make Soma what it is today.

A Special Thank You for Our Monthly Cuppa

We were especially touched by all the fabulous ladies who stayed on for our monthly cuppa and birthday gathering. One thing that continues to move us is seeing how many people are willing to drive significant distances to attend public classes at Soma Ranch. Your commitment to Soma, to movement, and to being together means more than you may realize.

And together, we raised $88 toward our annual St. Jude fundraiser!

Thank you for your generosity and for making our monthly cuppa about more than tea. These monthly gatherings becomes a beautiful opportunity to connect, catch up, laugh, share, and give.

TOMORROW: THE EVOLVING CREATOR

This Saturday, Helen is teaching both morning classes, continuing our exploration of this month's archetype: The Creator.

The Evolving Creator

Rather than simply asking:

“What can I create?”

We're asking “What am I becoming” and “What is ready to evolve through me?”

8:45 AM | Soma 5 Stages

We'll explore Embryonic, Creeping, Crawling, Crouching, and Walking as a beautiful metaphor for growth and evolution. With somatic movement, EFT tapping, and prayer, we'll explore letting go of what no longer serves us, trusting the process of becoming, and making room for what's emerging.

Honor who we've been.
Welcome who we're becoming.
Discover what is ready to evolve through us.

10:00 AM | Soma Faith Movement

Then… let's have some fun! 🎶

Inspired by longtime Soma participant Megan Freemantle, Helen has created an Evolution Playlist, reaching back through 33 years of teaching somatic movement to pull out some of her all-time favorite songs.

We'll dance, play, remember, and discover what these beloved songs can inspire in us now.

Evolution doesn't mean leaving our history behind.

We take what has moved us, build upon it, and allow it to become something new.

Come move with us tomorrow morning.

Come celebrate where we've been.

Come explore where we're going.

Come discover what is ready to evolve through you.

BE. Beautiful Evolution.

BE: Beautiful Evolution

Saturday at 10:00 AM | Soma Faith Movement with Helen

Inspired by longtime Soma participant Megan Freemantle, Helen has created something special for this week's Soma Faith Movement: a musical journey through 33 years of teaching somatic movement.

She’s gone back through the years and pulled out some of her favorite song; the music that has moved, inspired, surprised, and accompanied us along the way.

And now we're bringing those beloved songs into the present as we explore The Evolving Creator.

We'll play with “BE” Beautiful Evolution:

Honor who we've been.
Welcome who we're becoming.
Discover what is ready to evolve through us.

Through music, movement, sensation, and playful exploration, we'll revisit familiar rhythms while allowing our bodies to create something new.

Evolution doesn't mean leaving the past behind.

We take what has nourished us, build upon it, and let it become something new.

Come dance with the music that has been part of our Soma story and discover what your body wants to create next.

Saturday • 10:00 AM • Soma Faith Movement with Helen

33 years of music.
A lifetime of movement.
One beautiful evolution.

BE.

The Evolving Creator: What Are You Becoming?

Saturday at 8:45 AM | Soma 5 Stages with Helen

Last week, we met The Creator, the part of us that wants to make, express, imagine, explore, and bring something new into the world.

This week, we shift from asking “What can I create?” to explore the deeper question: “What am I becoming?” and “What is ready to evolve through me?”

Embracing the truth that he Creator is never finished. Like our bodies naturally moved from Embryonic → Creeping → Crawling → Crouching → Walking, we continue to grow and change throughout our lives.

Each stage builds upon what came before.

We don't abandon the embryonic self when we learn to walk.
We don't stop being curious because we've grown older.
We don't have to erase who we were in order to become someone new.

We build upon.
We adapt.
We discover.
We evolve.

In this week's Soma 5 Stages, Helen will guide us through these five developmental movement patterns as a beautiful metaphor for our own unfolding.

We'll begin close to the floor, listening for tiny impulses and possibilities. We'll explore curiosity, experimentation, transition, and finally expression as we gradually rise into walking.

Along the way, we'll use EFT tapping to soften the resistance that can arise around change—the desire to stay with what is familiar, the fear of not knowing what's next, and the tendency to hold tightly to an old version of ourselves.

Then we'll return to the five stages with a new invitation:

What happens when I allow myself to evolve?

• Perhaps something in your movement changes.

• Perhaps something in your thinking changes.

• Perhaps you discover that you're ready to release something, explore something, or simply give yourself permission to become.

You don't have to know exactly where you're going.

You don't have to have the next version of yourself figured out.

You can begin with one small movement.

One breath.

One curious question.

One willingness to try something differently.

Because evolution isn't always a dramatic transformation.

Sometimes it's simply becoming a little more fully yourself.

Come explore The Evolving Creator with us this Saturday morning.

8:45 AM | Soma 5 Stages with Helen

Honor who you've been.
Welcome who you're becoming.
Discover what is ready to evolve through you.

Make. Express. Imagine. Evolve.

Our New Soma Studio Lounge

Our New Soma Studio Lounge

Sometimes a space needs to evolve to reflect how the vision that created it has moved.

We began by asking a simple question:

What would this space feel like if we started fresh?

We took down the pictures.
We moved out the furniture.
We repaired the walls.
We cleared the space.

We asked our community, giving color choices. And then we chose the perfect green: Clary Sage.

We brought in professional painters, and watched as the room transformed.

And Wow.

The difference is remarkable.

The new green walls have given the Studio Lounge an entirely different feeling. The welcoming room feels calmer, cleaner, more grounded, more spacious, and somehow more alive. We are amazed how a change in color can change the way a room breathes.

And now that we've seen the beauty of the simple green walls, we've realized something else:

We're looking at the furniture and furnishings with fresh eyes.

What is essential?
What truly serves the space?
What can be repurposed?
What can be released?

We’ve cleared out shelving units, books, materials and more. Now we’ve created less visual clutter, more open space, and a deeper sense of calm.

We polished up the floor and redesigned the kitchen and added new upper cabinets, helping the entire Studio Lounge feel cohesive, welcoming, and ready for this next chapter of Soma.

A new color.
A new feeling.
A little less clutter.
A little more space to breathe.

And, as always, room for whatever comes next.

Soma Birthday: 17 Years of Movement, Community, Celebration

Seventeen years ago, on September 9, 2009, Joe and Helen Terry “birthed” Soma Ranch. What began as a dream and a place to gather, move, rest, and reconnect has grown into a community filled with friendships, memories, transformation, and countless moments of joy.

Meet The Creator From the Inside Out

Saturday at 8:45 AM | Soma 5 Stages with Helen

Before we dance our way into The Creator at 10:00 AM, we’ll begin the morning by meeting this archetype in a creatively different way from the ground up.

In this special Soma 5 Stages experience, Helen will guide us through the developmental movement patterns of Embryonic, Creeping, Crawling, Crouching, and Walking, exploring how each stage can awaken a different quality of creative possibility within us.

The Creator isn't only the part of us that makes art, writes music, builds businesses, or dreams up new ideas.

The Creator lives in our body.

The Creator within is the impulse to explore.
To experiment.
To adapt.
To discover a new way of moving.
To take what is already here and transform it into something uniquely our own.

We'll begin close to the floor, allowing the body to move without the pressure of performance or perfection. Through the five stages, we'll gradually awaken, organize, rise, and eventually find our way into walking, letting each stage offer its own invitation to sense, discover, create, and express.

Along the way, we'll incorporate EFT tapping to help soften some of the inner voices that can interfere with creativity. Such as the need to get it right, the fear of making a mistake, the tendency to compare ourselves with others, or the belief that our expression has to look a certain way.

What if creativity doesn't begin with knowing what to do?

What if creativity begins with being willing to discover?

Through movement, sensation, tapping, reflection, and prayer, we'll create space for that discovery.

We'll close by wrapping the experience in prayer, giving thanks for the creative life within us and opening ourselves to whatever wants to emerge. Not necessarily something big or dramatic, but perhaps a new feeling, a new possibility, a new way of seeing, or simply a deeper connection with ourselves.

And then, if you choose to stay, we'll take that creative energy into the 10:00 AM Soma Faith Dance class, where we'll turn up the music, bring out the playful side of The Creator, and dance Bailando.

8:45 AM Go inward.
10:00 AM Come outward.

Two different ways to explore the same invitation:

Discover what wants to move within you…
and then give it permission to move through you.

Come Dance, Create & Play: Introducing The Creator

Saturday at 10:00 AM | Soma Faith Movement with Helen

This Saturday, we begin exploring a new archetype: The Creator.

The Creator is the part of us that wants to make something, express something, imagine something and bring something new into the world. And what better way to meet The Creator than through music, movement, play, and a little bit of letting go?

Helen is bringing back the joyful, upbeat music from a vintage Nia routine called Bailando and turning the Soma Saturday Morning class into a dance party!

This isn't about getting the steps "right." In fact, we're going to intentionally play with simplicity, sensation, and freedom AWAY from perfectionism.

Instead of needing to remember choreography or make our movement look a certain way, we'll listen to the music and ask:

What do I feel?
What wants to move?
What happens when I make it my own?

Using Helen's Simple Kata Formula, we'll create small, easy movement "riffs" together, simple patterns that give us just enough structure to enter deeply into the music while leaving plenty of room for individual expression.

A simple movement can become surprisingly rich when we stay with it.

We can repeat it.
Change it.
Make it bigger.
Make it smaller.
Speed it up.
Slow it down.
Let the music change us.

And somewhere along the way, we may discover that simplicity doesn't mean shallow. A simple movement can take us deep into sensation, emotion, rhythm, connection, and presence.

The Creator doesn't require perfection.

The Creator asks us to participate.

So come ready to dance, experiment, laugh, listen, and discover what your unique body wants to say.

No dance experience necessary. No perfect moves required.

Simply bring yourself, and let's see what we can create together.

Saturday at 10:00 AM ONLINE.

Come join the dance party.
Come play with The Creator.
Come make it your own.

Soma News

Updates from Soma Ranch

We don’t have to lose our depth to find our delight.

Howdy Soma Friends,

There’s a lot happening here at Soma Ranch, and as always, we’re taking it one step at a time.

The Soma Studio Lounge is getting a fabulous update. After repairs and painting, we’re now in the process of putting back all the pieces that make this space feel so special, while also clearing out as much as we can to create space for what is to come.

We are in a bit of a mess in the middle, as these things tend to be… but there’s something beautiful about being in the process of letting go, rearranging, and making room.

And that feels especially appropriate for our current theme:

“We don’t have to lose our depth to find our delight.”

This weekend, we’ll be celebrating Dolly. Her joy, humor, heart, resilience, wisdom, and extraordinary ability to bring lightness to life without sacrificing depth.

Saturday Morning at the Studio and online via zoom

8:45 AM Soma 5 Stages and EFT tapping with Helen
We’ll journey through the five developmental movement stages of Embryonic, Creeping, Crawling, Crouching, and Walking, exploring rhythm, rocking, shaking, play, and the freedom to move with more delight.

10:00 AM Soma Faith Movement with Helen
A soulful movement experience weaving music of Dolly with movement and the invitation to discover, and experience, how joy and depth can live together.

Come ready to move, laugh, breathe, explore, and perhaps remember a little more of the playful spirit that already lives inside you.

A Little Ranch News

The process of preparing and listing the Ranch for sale is taking longer than we initially anticipated. There are many moving pieces, and we’re learning once again that some things simply cannot be rushed.

So we keep taking the next step, trusting that we’ll get there when the time is right.

And in the meantime, we’re hoping to offer a couple of fall retreats here at Soma Ranch, an opportunity to celebrate this lovely, sacred land and property and enjoy it together while we can.

We’re incredibly grateful for our fabulous recent Airbnb guests, who left us a glowing five-star review. It means so much to know that others are experiencing the beauty, peace, and magic of this place.

September is Coming!

We hope you’ll join us for our September Month of Movement, as we step into the Creator Archetype.

The Creator invites us to imagine, experiment, express, make, and bring something new into being.

And right now feels like the perfect time to create some new space, both around us and within us.

September is a fabulous time to sign up, and bring a friend for FREE, for the whole month!

Come create, move, explore, laugh, and discover what wants to emerge.

And finally… after such a long stretch without rain, today the heavens opened! 🌧️

A glorious, much-appreciated downpour arrived over Soma Ranch, watering the land and reminding us that sometimes we simply have to wait, trust, and receive.

Perhaps there’s a lesson in that for all of us.

Keep taking the next step.
Keep making space.
Keep trusting the process.
And don’t forget to find a little delight along the way.

Hope all is well in your world.

With love from Soma Ranch,

Helen, Joe, the team and all the fond 4 legged friends at Soma.

A New Chapter for Soma Studio Lounge

A New Chapter for the Soma Studio Lounge

Sometimes a space needs to evolve to reflect how the vision that created it has moved.

Seventeen years ago, when we first imagined Soma as a world center for Nia trainings, we wanted the Studio Lounge to reflect the beautiful diversity and possibility of the Nia journey.

So we brought in all the colors of the belts: white, green, blue, brown, black, and red. Even purple walls for the “everybody” belt that ultimately never quite came to light.

For nearly two decades, those colors, and the art, furnishings, photographs, and memories surrounding them, have been part of the story of Soma.

Soma has evolved. And we felt it was time for the Studio Lounge to evolve with it.

Time for an Update

We began by asking a simple question:

What would this space feel like if we started fresh?

With the help of AI, we created previews of the Studio Lounge with the walls painted entirely white and entirely green.

Then we asked our community:

Which do you prefer?

The response was wonderfully clear.

GREEN.

Not just a little green. A resounding, enthusiastic yes to green!

So we listened.

We took down the pictures.
We moved out the furniture.
We repaired the walls.
We cleared the space.

And then we chose the perfect green: Clary Sage.

We brought in professional painters, and watched as the room transformed.

And Wow.

The difference is remarkable.

The new green walls have given the Studio Lounge an entirely different feeling. The welcoming room feels calmer, cleaner, more grounded, more spacious, and somehow more alive. We are amazed how a change in color can change the way a room breathes.

And now that we've seen the beauty of the simple green walls, we've realized something else:

We don't want to cover them up.

The walls are beautiful just as they are.

So this next phase isn't simply about repainting. It's about “redesigning”

We're looking at the furniture and furnishings with fresh eyes.

What is essential?
What truly serves the space?
What can be repurposed?
What can be released?

We're envisioning cleaner lines, less visual clutter, more open space, and a deeper sense of calm.

We're also fixin’ to polish up the floor and redesign the kitchen, helping the entire Studio Lounge feel cohesive, welcoming, and ready for this next chapter of Soma.

From Many Colors to One Beautiful Field

There is something poetic about this transformation.

For 17 years, the Studio Lounge celebrated the many colors of the Nia belt journey.

Now, as Soma has grown and expanded beyond its original vision, we're discovering the power of simplicity.

Not necessarily fewer possibilities.

Just less clutter and stuff around them.

And perhaps that's what evolution really is, not throwing away where we've been, instead creating enough spaciousness to see where we're going.

The colors are still part of our story.

The trainings, the people, the laughter, the sweat, the conversations, the celebrations, the countless memories, all of that lives in Soma.

And the room itself (like us) is ready to breathe, release and create space for what is to come next.

We look forward to sharing the end result, for now, here is…

A Little Taste…

Below are the AI previews that helped us imagine the possibilities—a glimpse of the white and green options we shared with our community before making the decision.

The finished photos should be up next week, so stay tuned for the full reveal of the newly refreshed Soma Studio Lounge.

A new color.
A new feeling.
A little less clutter.
A little more space to breathe.

And, as always, room for whatever comes next.

Soma 5 Stages We don't have to lose our depth to find our delight.

Saturday • 8:45 AM
Soma 5 Stages Healing Movement with EFT tapping.

Come as you are. Bring your whole self, and maybe a little sparkle. Let’s explore what happens when we give ourselves permission to lighten up, laugh, play, and move with joy?

Through the Soma 5 Stages, movement, laughter, shaking, rhythm, and EFT tapping, we'll explore the freedom of letting joy move through the body. Come ready to loosen up, have a little fun, and reconnect with the part of you that still knows how to play.

This is a great class preparation for the 10am Soma Faith Experience.

This Saturday we are celebrating the Jester Archetype with a playful tribute to the one and only Dolly Parton!

Dolly reminds us that we don't have to lose our depth to find our delight. We can be wise and playful, strong and silly, sacred and sparkling and serious about life without taking ourselves so seriously.

Tribute to Dolly

Come On, Get Happy: A Soma Faith Tribute to Dolly Parton

Tomorrow saturday at 10:00 AM | Celebrating the Jester Archetype

Sometimes faith looks like stillness.
Sometimes it looks like surrender.
And sometimes… it looks like putting on a little rhinestone sparkle and having a whole lot of fun. ✨

Tomorrow at 10:00 AM, our Soma Faith Movement class will be a joyful tribute to one of the most beloved, colorful, and unforgettable characters of our time: Dolly Parton.

And honestly, who better to help us explore this month’s Jester Archetype?

The Jester reminds us that life is not meant to be taken so seriously all the time. The Jester brings laughter, play, spontaneity, humor, freedom, and joy. They have the courage to be fully themselves and, in so doing, invite us to loosen our grip, lighten our hearts, and find the sacred in a good laugh.

Dolly Parton embodies so much of this spirit.

Yes, she was wildly talented, successful, generous, and wise. But she also knew how to play. She didn’t apologize for her big hair, her rhinestones, her humor, her personality, or her joy. She made room for both the ridiculous and the profound, and helps reminds us that the two can live beautifully side by side.

Behind the laughter is a woman who has experienced hardship, stayed rooted in her values, loved generously, and used her gifts to bring hope and opportunity to others.

That feels very Jester to me.

Because the Jester isn't simply about being silly.

The deeper invitation is to discover that joy itself can be a spiritual practice.

What if joy is holy?

What if laughter helps us release what we've been carrying?

What if shaking our bodies, moving freely, singing loudly, and allowing ourselves to play can open a door to something deeper?

What if we don't always have to work so hard at healing?

Tomorrow, we'll let Dolly be our guide as we move through music, rhythm, laughter, and playful expression. We'll explore what happens when we give ourselves permission to lighten up, loosen up, and let joy move through us.

And perhaps we'll discover something the Jester has known all along:

We don't have to lose our depth to find our delight.

We can be wise and playful.
Strong and silly.
Sacred and sparkling.
Serious about life without taking ourselves so seriously.

So come as you are.

Wear your rhinestones if you've got them.
Bring your sense of humor.
Bring your whole self.

And most importantly, bring your joy.

You are invited to dance a little Dolly, laugh a little louder, shake a little freer, and remember that sometimes our soul simply needs permission to have some fun.

Soma Faith Movement

Tomorrow • 10:00 AM

Come celebrate Dolly.
Come explore the Jester.
Come move your body.
Come find your joy.

And as Dolly herself might remind us “if you're going to walk through life, you might as well wear a little sparkle”

Come as you are. Move as you feel. Laugh as you can. And let joy have the final word.

September Archetype of the Month: The Creator

Cultivating Creativity, Purpose, and the Courage to Bring Something New to Life

As we move into September, we enter the inspiring space of The Creator archetype: the part of us that longs to imagine, express, build, and bring something meaningful into the world.

The Creator is not simply an artist, designer, musician, or entrepreneur. The Creator lives within all of us. It is the energy that asks, What wants to come through me? What can I bring into the world that did not exist before?

The Creator reminds us that we are not only here to consume what others have made or to follow paths that have already been established. We are also here to participate—to imagine, experiment, express, build, and contribute something uniquely our own.

In a culture that often measures success by productivity, achievement, and perfection, The Creator offers us a different invitation: create from curiosity rather than pressure, from purpose rather than performance, and from authenticity rather than comparison.

Yet many of us have learned to silence our creative impulses. We may tell ourselves that we aren't artistic enough, talented enough, experienced enough, or that there simply isn't enough time. We may compare our beginning to someone else's finished product and decide not to begin at all.

Over time, these beliefs can disconnect us from an essential part of ourselves.

The Creator invites us to remember that creativity is not about producing something perfect. It is about allowing something within us to take form. A movement, a song, a meal, a garden, a relationship, a business, a prayer, a new idea, or simply a different way of living can all be acts of creation.

The healthy Creator understands that the creative process requires both imagination and patience. There are seasons of inspiration, seasons of experimentation, seasons of frustration, and seasons when we simply need to step back and let something develop.

Throughout September, our Soma Faith practices will focus on embodied experiences that awaken the creative spirit within. Through movement, meditation, EFT tapping, reflection, music, play, and mindful presence, we will explore what it means to embody a healthy Creator—the one who dares to imagine, embraces the process, and trusts that what is uniquely theirs to bring forth has value.

The healthy Creator knows:

• I am allowed to imagine something new.

• Creativity does not require perfection.

• My unique expression has value.

• The process matters as much as the finished product.

• I can create from inspiration rather than comparison.

• What I bring into the world can be an offering.

This month is an invitation to listen more deeply to the creative impulses within you. What have you been longing to make, change, express, or begin? What idea keeps returning? What part of you is asking for a little more room to breathe?

Perhaps September is not asking you to create something extraordinary.

Perhaps it is simply asking you to begin.

May September be:

• A season of imagination.

• A season of courageous beginnings.

• A season of authentic expression.

• A season of bringing what is within you into form.

The Creator's Invitation:

“Imagine freely. Create courageously. Trust the process, and allow what is uniquely yours to become an offering to the world.”

Join us this month as we explore the transformative power of The Creator through movement, mindfulness, faith, and embodied practice.

Creativity begins with permission.
Creation begins with presence.
Wholeness includes the courage to become who we were created to be.

Welcome to The Creator.

We’re on a heroic journey for 2026. Each month we spotlight a different hero archetype through dance, movement, exploration, discussion, and education.

All experiences will be online via Zoom with 1-7 day replays.

There will be live movement classes 10am Monday, Thursday, Saturday, Fridays, plus Saturday 8:45 5 Stages Developmental Experiences, all via zoom with replays.

Helen will teach the majority of these classes, Irene will continue to provide Feldenkrais experiences and Natasha and Gigi teach Nia.

You can also enjoy rePLAY experiences including dance breaks, EFT tapping, Evolutionary Mystic Meditations and more varying from 10 - 45 minutes with 3 day replays.

Beyond continuing to provide our regular somatic (Body Centered) movement experiences that support your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing, this new 12‑month, 365‑day, project aims to

• deepen our understanding of the personalities within us by exploring them through movement, exploration and education.

• develop additional resources for self‑awareness and fascination

• move toward being the best humans we can be (yes! let’s dream and aim big LOL)

The 12 hero archetypes, popularized from Carl Jung's work, are universal character patterns used in storytelling, branding, and psychology, representing core human motivations and experiences, and include the Innocent, Everyman, Hero, Caregiver, Explorer, Rebel, Creator, Lover, Jester, Sage, Magician, and Ruler, each seeking different things like freedom, connection, or mastery. 

The 12 Archetypes:

• The Innocent: Seeks happiness and safety; optimistic, simple.

• The Everyman: Wants to belong and connect; relatable, down-to-earth.

• The Rebel: Wants revolution and to break rules; disruptive, transformative.

• The Explorer: Seeks freedom and new experiences; adventurous, independent.

• The Hero: Aims to prove worth through courageous action; competent, disciplined.

• The Lover: Seeks intimacy, connection, and passion; sensual, loyal.

• The Caregiver: Desires to help and protect others; nurturing, generous.

• The Jester: Wants to live in the moment and bring joy; fun, playful.

• The Creator: Aims to build something of enduring value; innovative, artistic.

• The Sage: Seeks truth and understanding; wise, knowledgeable.

• The Magician: Wants to make dreams come true; visionary, powerful.

• The Ruler: Seeks control and order; authoritative, leader. 

How They're Used:

These archetypes help authors create relatable characters, build strong brands by aligning with consumer desires, and offer frameworks for personal growth by identifying one's dominant patterns. 

“In 1996, as a Nia Technique trainer, realizing I needed to do more of my own inner work and be better able to hold space for leading people through embodied movement experiences, I began a master’s in Alternative Dance Therapy at the Jung Center in Houston. That started a 30-year journey of fascinated interest in authentic movement, archetypes, and somatic (body centered) healing.

I’m excited to bring these passions to our 365 and 30 day movement journeys in 2026.”

— Helen Terry

Each month you will receive

• information, prompting questions and a group discussion session around the archetype

• movement classes with foci that support the “archetype of the month”

• pop up experiences that enhance our exploration of the “archetype of the month”

• group discussions and community connection through our private facebook group

As a community we’ll co‑create playlists and immersive experiences such as “Blue Monkey” improv’ classes and FreeDance explorations.
