STANDING at the THRESHOLD :: a VISIONING CIRCLE
Jan
10

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.  Through gentle, flowing movements we release tension, transforming it into useful energy to be harnessed for our highest good as we move through our practice and our lives.

This repeated routine prepares us for the Winter and our Water Element practice, bringing increased peace and flow into our lives from the Winter Solstice to the Spring Equinox. Regular practice helps us to relax into the flow of the routine, experiencing deeper and deeper meditative, physical, and emotional benefits.

Dress comfortably, A mat is not required but you may find it more comfortable, as Qigong is a standing practice.

FINDING FLOW // Dancing Beyond the Veil
Nov

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
- water bottle
- optional item for the altar

All bodies and abilities welcome.
No dance experience needed — just an open mind and a curious spirit.

A JOURNEY THROUGH STRINGS AND STORIES  with Hiroya Tsukamoto
Oct
26

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
Oct

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.
