STANDING at the THRESHOLD :: a VISIONING CIRCLE
Standing at the Threshold :: A Visioning Circle
This visioning circle is an invitation to pause and meet yourself exactly where you are.
Rather than pushing toward goals or resolutions, we will create space to listen — to what is already moving within you, to what is asking for adjustment, and to the deeper direction that wants your attention. This is about orientation, not urgency. About making small, true shifts that bring you into closer alignment with your soul’s work over time.
The circle will be gently supported by kava, a traditional South Pacific plant medicine known for its grounding, calming, and clarity-supporting properties. Served intentionally and with care, kava helps settle the nervous system, soften mental noise, and create the conditions for clear seeing and honest reflection. It is not intoxicating and does not produce a “high,” but rather supports presence, ease, and embodied awareness.
Through gentle movement, guided meditation, reflective journaling, and spacious conversation, we will clarify what feels alive, crystallize what is asking to be named, and touch into a form of planning that is rooted in honesty and presence — not pressure or performance.
You can expect a calm, grounded atmosphere with room to breathe, reflect, and integrate. This is not a high-energy workshop or a productivity sprint. It is a slow, intentional gathering designed to help you leave with a clearer sense of right direction and a felt understanding of the next true steps — however subtle they may be.
What to Expect //
Gentle, accessible movement to arrive in the body
Guided meditation and quiet reflection
Journaling and visioning practices
Clarifying and crystallizing what matters most right now
Thoughtful planning that honors your real life and inner rhythms
A supportive circle held with care and spaciousness
Kava served intentionally to support grounding, presence, and clarity
What to Bring //
A notebook or journal
A pen or pencil
Cozy layers
A water bottle
Come as you are — tired, curious, uncertain, or clear. This circle is for anyone who feels themselves standing at a moment of quiet choice and wants to orient with honesty and care.
Please see KAVA safety + consent information HERE.

FRIDAY MORNING QIGONG
- a weekly offering -
Fridays 7:30-8:30am beginning August 29th
Created by Taoist Monks, Qigong brings natural elements into our physical, emotional, and spiritual being for enhanced health and vitality.

FINDING FLOW // Dancing Beyond the Veil
FINDING FLOW // Dancing Beyond the Veil
A Conscious Dance + Embodiment Workshop
Step into mystery. Move with intuition. Leave transformed.
This is the time of year when the veil is said to be thinnest, allowing more open communication between the material and spiritual realms. Guided by The High Priestess, archetype of the divine feminine and intuition, we’ll move through a nourishing journey of meditation, automatic writing, conscious dance, and creative expression. Together, we’ll explore what lies beyond the veil, connect with guides and guardians, and awaken our own innate psychic senses.
This experience is more than just movement — it’s a full-body ceremony. Through practices that bridge the seen and unseen, you’ll learn to access the deep well of wisdom, guidance, and loving support that extends just beyond our physical realm.
You’ll walk away feeling ::
- Grounded yet expansive
- Recharged with clarity and creative insight
- More connected to your body, intuition, and power
The Flow
🌀 Opening circle + guided meditation
📝 Journal prompts + automatic writing
🔥 Conscious dance journey (plus optional art + altar time)
🌙 Closing meditation + integration circle
🎶 Music is the map. Your body is the guide.
💫 Expect expansion. Expect downloads. Expect magic.
What to Bring ::
- yoga mat
- journal

A JOURNEY THROUGH STRINGS AND STORIES with Hiroya Tsukamoto
Please join us for a special musical evening in theYURT with Hiroya Tsukamoto - "A Journey Through Strings and Stories"
Tsukamoto brings a blend of masterful fingerstyle guitar and evocative storytelling that transcends cultural barriers. His artistry, honed at the prestigious Berklee College of Music, has been celebrated on renowned stages like the Blue Note in NYC and the United Nations, and lauded for its “delicate, fluid, and beautifully detailed” style by Acoustic Guitar magazine.
Tsukamoto’s concerts are not just musical events; they are immersive experiences that weave lyrical narratives with intricate melodies. Recognized for his soulful performances that create an orchestra at his fingertips, he invites audiences into his world of musical exploration and emotional expression. This is a rare opportunity to witness a performer who has been celebrated for his ability to take listeners on an “impressionistic journey” (Boston Herald). Enchanting music that promises to resonate long after the final note is played.
Hiroya’s BIO//
Hiroya Tsukamoto is a Japanese-born fingerstyle guitarist who moved to the United States in 2000 to attend the Berklee College of Music. Needless to say, he’s not only a dizzyingly agile fingerpicker, but a soulful and transcendent performer, with compositions that combine instrumental guitar work with lyrical performance and spoken stories from his life.
Tsukamoto has been recognized for his talents on stages such as at Blue Note in New York City, NHK-Television (Japan Broadcasting Corporation), International Storytelling Center and United Nations, and by scoring second place at the International Fingerstyle Guitar Championship both in 2018 and 2022.
Some notable quotes//
"Hiroya Tsukamoto may play the guitar with the skill of a virtuoso, and he may write compelling music that draws from many different cultures and genres, but if I had to choose one word to describe him it would be orchestrator. " - Acoustic Guitar Magazine
"Hiroya Tsukamoto takes us to an impressionistic journey " -Boston Herald
"...chops, passion and warmth. Zealously recommended!" -Jazz Review.com

QUANTUM HEALING // AUTUMN
your golden timeline activation: a group quantum healing experience
what if your next season didn’t require pushing… but remembering?
what if you didn’t have to make it happen, but simply return to the version of you who already knows the way?
that’s your golden timeline.
it’s the most easeful, empowered, and magnetic version of your life- already alive, already possible, already waiting. it’s where the right people, opportunities, and resources begin to find you. your body says yes. your choices land. the world starts moving in your favor.
it’s not just a better path. it’s your truest one.
and in this group healing experience, we’ll open the door to it.
we’ll work with the energy of autumn- the season of truth, return, and re-alignment- to clear what’s in the way and activate the golden timeline that’s ready to meet you now. this is a soul-level reset. a vibrational turning point. a moment where everything begins to re-organize- not because you force it, but because you align with what’s real.
expect: gentle grounding movement, deep rest, quantum healing, and space to meet your golden self- the one who already knows who she is and why she’s here.
bring: yoga mat or other comfortable mat to lie on, water, a journal, cozy layers. come as you are.
afterward: your golden timeline is activated in the yurt- but it doesn’t end there. this shift continues to anchor into your everyday life. you’ll feel and see changes over the coming days and weeks. to support the integration, you’ll receive access to the alignment archives- Jaclyn’s online library of meditations, soul pep talks, and simple daily tools to keep walking this new path, one grounded step at a time.
