For 5 years, we have been on a glorious journey with our “30 classes, 30 days” monthly program. I (Helen) began solo, leading all the classes. Then a wonderful team evolved, with each individual teacher bringing, and cultivating, their own brand within our collective community focused brand.
I love this team and community so much and have a challenge letting go, however the pull to make a change is strong:
Personally: Joe (my husband) and I have a lot of major transitions, including being in the process of selling Soma Ranch and becoming Grandparents.
Professionally: I feel the calling to bring my fitness career and faith center together, to create a movement form called Soma Faith.
Part of me wants to say STOP, enough! I am done! Another part (and the winning partner) says what if you could do what you really want to do, with ease and be super helpful, vibrant and happy about what you are bringing to the world? What if you follow the mandate of your spirit?
Here’s the plan so far:
Continue to provide:
10am on Mondays, Thursdays (at Soma Ranch AND online via zoom),
10am Saturdays via zoom and add a
10am Fun Friday Class (30 or 60 mins) via zoom.
8:45am Saturday 5 Stages: Either
Classic Nia 5 Stages lead by Natasha or
Mystic Meditation Hero’s journey with 5 Stages lead by Helen
In addition Helen looks forward to providing “Pop up” opportunities including;
daily “dance breaks” (5-15 minute mini experiences with 3 day replays)
additional education invitations (for example introductions to “hero journey”, “archetypes” “EFT tapping” “evolutionary mystic meditation”)
additional optional Pop Up Christian Soma Faith opportunities
monthly meet up community chat
Helen likely will teach 80% of the classes. Natasha, Gigi, Irene, Michele will continue to teach, and Paul is considering joining us.
Here’s my current vision of what we can co-create:
A space where the body is honored.
A space where movement becomes meaning.
A space where spirituality is experienced, not imposed.
A space where people of all belief systems feel safe, welcome, and free to go as deep as they choose.
Soma Faith is born out of my own relationship with Christ and the way that faith grounds my life and practice. And this work/program is not about pushing a belief system onto others. It is about creating a container where everyone (Christian, other religion, spiritual-but-not-religious, curious, uncertain, or simply human) can experience connection, reflection, depth, and healing.
Your beliefs will never be tested here.
Your boundaries will be honored.
Your presence is enough.
My commitment is simple:
“to offer embodied spiritual experiences that are open, inclusive, and rooted in compassion, without diminishing the truth of my own faith, and without creating barriers for anyone else’s.”
These are the steps I’m taking.
A step out of fear.
A step into integrity.
A step toward the work I am being called to do.
If your heart longs for a place to connect, move, breathe, question, soften, strengthen, and show up fully…. you’re invited.
I’m grateful you’re here.
And I can’t wait to keep growing this space with you.
There will be 3 options to be part of this journey:
a 365 day “I am all in”
a 30 days “I will enjoy one block at a time”
a drop in “I want to dip my toes into the journey”
Tomorrow (Saturday) at 10am there will be an opportunity to connect and chat about these possibilities, we will use the usual 10am time and zoom link slot. Email helen@somaranch.com if you need the link.
Everyone on the 365 day and 30 day journey will automatically receive the following replays on this special day:
Simple Kata “a new day, a new beginning” 60 minute experience with Helen
Simple Kata “let your light shine” 30 minute experience with Helen
Blue Monkey “under the magic of the full moon!” 30 minute experience with Natasha
Thanksgiving Jam
Email Helen@somaranch.com if you’d like to receive any of the above replays.
