Howdy! A New Chapter at Soma Ranch
There is a lot happening at Soma Ranch right now and, as is often the case, we are embracing all the swirls with open hearts, curiosity, and a willingness to see what is possible.
One thing we have learned over the past 17 years of running Soma Ranch is how to pivot, optimize, find the best in every situation, and serve as fully and beautifully as we can. Life, business, and this extraordinary place has taught us again and again that sometimes the path forward isn't about holding tightly to what has been, but about being willing to recognize and welcome what comes next.
With that spirit, we will be listing Soma Ranch, both the business and the property, with an agent next week, with the intention of attracting the most perfect new owner for this very special place, at the best possible time. This is a big step, and one that comes with plenty of emotion, but also with a genuine sense of possibility. Soma Ranch has been such a meaningful part of so many lives, including ours. We look forward to finding the right person or people who can carry the Soma Ranch spirit forward in their own beautiful way.
In the meantime, rather than putting Soma Ranch on hold, we are opening the doors to new possibilities, new retreats, new experiences, and more opportunities to gather. After several months of having our programs on pause, we are ready to enjoy this place as much as possible while we are still here, and we would absolutely love to share it with you.
Tomorrow at Soma Ranch
Our Saturday classes with Helen are happening both in person at Soma Ranch and ONLINE via Zoom, with the 24-hour replay option available as well:
8:45 AM Soma 5 Stages
A beautiful way to begin the day through a Somatic movement experience, focusing on rhythm and rocking to release tension.
10:00 AM Soma Faith Movement: “JungleMoon”
A soulful, embodied practice designed to connect movement, breath, presence and celebration of living. Ancient Jungle Wisdom “put the pain into the rhythm and let it go”
Whether you join us at the Ranch or from wherever you are in the world, we would love to have you with us.
Celebrating 17 Years of Soma
And then there is September 9, 2026; Soma Ranch's 17th Birthday!
Seventeen years deserves a celebration, and we intend to make the most of it.
We are planning a week of daily 10:00 AM classes with Helen, a special birthday dinner, fire, s'mores, and of course… cake!
Check out the opportunities for day retreats and 2–6 day all-inclusive, immersive stays at Soma Ranch. If you've been thinking about coming back, experiencing Soma for the first time, gathering with friends, or simply giving yourself some dedicated time to move, rest, reconnect, and reset, this may be a particularly special moment to do it.
Huge thank you for the incredibly positive response to the Soma Reset Retreat proposal. We appreciate everyone who has reached out and shared enthusiasm. Next step? now’s the time to please take a few moments to complete our Soma Reset Retreat survey. Your answers will help us shape the retreat around your personal needs, desires, and what would feel most meaningful to you right now. Every person who completes the survey will be entered into a draw to win $100 gift certificate towards the Soma Reset.
And if you're feeling a little off-balance, uncertain, overwhelmed, or simply like you're moving through a challenging season, please know this:
You are not alone.
There is so much happening in the world and in our individual lives, and sometimes simply acknowledging that can be the first step toward finding a little more steadiness.
This week, take a look at the very insightful astrological piece from River, and perhaps allow yourself to entertain the question: Where might I find more balance right now?
Maybe it is through movement.
Maybe it is through community.
Maybe it is through stillness, nature, faith, laughter, connection, or simply giving yourself permission to pause.
Whatever you need, we hope Soma Ranch can be a place where you find a little more of it.
For 17 years, Soma has been about creating space for people to move, breathe, connect, transform, and come home to themselves. And for now, we are leaning into that mission more than ever, with gratitude for everything Soma has been, excitement for everything it might become, and a deep desire to make the most of the beautiful chapter we are in right now.
Come celebrate with us. Come move with us. Come stay awhile if you can.
Cultivating Joy, Playfulness, and Presence
Thank you for being part of this incredible community.
Be well, with love from
Helen, Joe, the team and all the fond 4 legged friends at Soma.

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.
