HOWDY!
First, an apology. It's been two weeks since our last newsletter!
After some wonderful days at Soma Ranch filled with family, laughter, and making memories, both Joe and I were unexpectedly sidelined by a virus. While it wasn't exactly how we planned to spend the week, we eventually accepted it for what it was: an enforced, no-negotiations opportunity to rest.
Sometimes life, and I like to believe God, has a way of gently (or not so gently!) reminding us that we're not quite as superhuman as we like to think we are.
Looking back, it seems rather fitting as we come to the close of our Lover Archetype month.
The Lover has been teaching us about slowing down, being present, receiving the beauty around us, and honoring what truly nourishes our hearts. Sometimes those lessons arrive through joyful moments with people we love. Sometimes they arrive wrapped in blankets, tissues, naps, and the realization that our bodies have wisdom we shouldn't ignore.
We're grateful to be feeling much better and Helen is excited to be back with our Soma community this weekend!
This Saturday
8:45 AM – Soma 5 Stages
Helen will guide us through a nourishing review of The Lover Archetype, weaving together EFT Tapping with the original developmental movement patterns we all experienced, from our earliest days as infants to becoming upright, walking human beings. This could be a powerful opportunity to revisit this month's theme for both your body and your spirit.
10:00 AM – Soma Faith Movement
We'll continue exploring The Lover through embodied movement, mindful presence, and joyful connection.
Helen has also been having fun moving with the new SoundScape that Natasha lovingly created for this month. Music has an amazing way of helping our bodies remember what our hearts have experienced, and we hope you can move with us.
This monday
10:00 AM – Soma Faith Movement
Enjoy a romantic love-story SoundScape with Lionel Richie for 60 minutes, with delicious movement lead by Helen, either in person at Soma or online via zoom.
Looking Ahead to July: The Caregiver
Now is the perfect time to join us for our July series as we explore The Caregiver Archetype.
Together we'll discover what it means to care for others without losing ourselves in the process. Through movement, meditation, EFT, prayer, and our new monthly SoundScapes, we'll learn how compassion becomes sustainable when it flows from a heart that is continually renewed.

A Little Soma Ranch Update
Many of you have been asking about Soma Ranch.
The ranch is looking absolutely beautiful this summer, and we continue to be in conversation with a potential buyer. While there's no news to share just yet, we promise you'll be among the first to know if anything changes.
As always, we're deeply grateful for your prayers, encouragement, and continued support during this season of transition. Anyone who loves playing with drones and taking aerial footage please let us know. We’d love to get some recent clips to share how fabulous the ranch is looking.
Thank you for being part of this incredible community.
Whether you've been resting, adventuring, healing, or simply doing your best to navigate the season you're in, we're honored to walk AND DANCE this journey with you.
We look forward to hopefully seeing you tomorrow, Saturday and if you're ready to embrace the gentle strength of The Caregiver, we'd love for you to join us throughout July. When you register by June 28th you can bring a friend for free.
Until then...
Move with intention.
Rest without guilt.
Love deeply.
And remember, you are worthy of the same care you so freely offer to others.
Be well, with love from
Helen, Joe, the team and all the fond 4 legged friends at Soma.
Private Retreats at the Ranch
