Howdy!
Helen is back from an amazing cruise, exploring Alaska for the first time. Meanwhile, Joe has been tending Soma Ranch; replacing a gate, repairing the cold plunge, hosting guests, mowing often, and giving away wood from the barn to beloved neighbors. This is one of his final steps toward fully sorting and clearing his “workspace” of 17 years.
Thank you to the team (especially Gigi) for providing fabulous classes as we enter Hero Journey Month in August, with the Jester archetype as our focus.
Helen is excited to teach tomorrow, Saturday morning, with two online classes: 8:45 and 10:00 a.m. (Central). The first session is an opportunity to be introduced to the Jester through movement meditation via the Soma 5 Stages, blended with EFT tapping. This embodied practice is then amplified at 10:00 a.m. with the Soma Faith experience “Universal Mind.” Inspired by a sequence of lymphatic-drainage movements Helen learned while cruising, we will emphasize body-and-mind flow, bringing a blend of lymphatic moves with expansive, conscious somatic dance.
In many spiritual traditions, Universal Mind is the divine intelligence that connects all creation; the wisdom beyond individual thoughts that invites expanded awareness. To experience Universal Mind is to move beyond the isolated self and remember our connection to the whole:
We are individual expressions of a greater unity.
We are unique movements within a larger dance.
We are connected through a wisdom greater than ourselves.
The good news: this concept doesn’t need to be heavy or serious. Enter the Jester, who invites us into expanded states with laughter, lightness, creativity, joy, and dance.
Regular class rates apply. These classes are included in the 30-day Hero Journey Package for AUGUST: The JESTOR
Cultivating Joy, Playfulness, and Presence
As we move into August, we enter the refreshing space of The Jester archetype: the part of us that invites laughter, creativity, curiosity, and joy into everyday life. 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.

OPPORTUNITY TO RESET at the Ranch
Back from “the cruise lifestyle” with the abundance of fine wines and dining, Helen is keen to reset with a 3 day detox retreat at Soma. This is something she does about once a quarter for personal wellness, stress relief and to loose a few pounds.
“ “I (and my body, mind, heart and spirit) benefit from the simple retreat where I minimize what I consume both with food and digital input. I call it my body and digital detox.””
Private Retreats at the Ranch
As we continue this transition season, we'd love to share the ranch with more people. If you're looking for a special place to gather family or friends, please let us know if you'd like to rent the ranch for a private retreat, celebration, or restorative getaway.
Ongoing Live Classes
Our live Soma classes continue every Monday and Thursday at 10am, and we look forward to moving, connecting, and growing together with you.
