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
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.

CE5 OUTDOOR EXPERIENCE :: Seeking Universal Peace, an antidote for our time
This is an outdoor CE5 experience, which was established by Dr. Steven Greer. It is rooted in a deep sense of curiosity, wonder, and a desire for an expanded state of consciousness. The interstellar civilizations we may come in contact with have extensive knowledge and technologies that can assist humanity as we ascend into higher dimensions just as they did before us.

SOUL RETRIEVAL
Soul Retrieval is a powerful Shamanic practice that restores lost or fragmented parts of the soul. These pieces of our souls essence are often separated from the self due to trauma, intense experience of life events. Some symptoms of soul fragmentations are depression, unhealthy coping skills, looming negativity, low energy, disconnection from self and others, self abandonment or an over all feeling that something is missing. Within this session we will talk about the importance and power of soul retrieval, some of the shamanic history within this practice and you will be lead by a trained shamanic healer on a guided journey to retrieve your soul.

Daniel Rodriguez @ theGROVE - SOLD OUT
We are so excited to welcome Daniel Rodruiguez to theGROVE!
Daniel is a dynamic figure in the Americana psychedelic folk rock scene, crafting songs that resonate with depth, authenticity, and a touch of magic. Originally a founding member and key songwriter for Elephant Revival, he has since established a prolific solo career that transcends the roots of his musical beginnings. Known for penning Elephant Revival classics like "Birds and Stars”, Daniel embarked on a solo journey following the band's dissolution in 2018. His solo debut, the EP *Your Heart The Stars The Milky Way*, was released in 2019, marking a new chapter in his artistic journey. This was followed by his first full-length album, *Sojourn of a Burning Sun*, in 2020 under BMG Records, earning acclaim for its introspective songwriting and emotional depth.
Beyond the studio, Daniel has captivated audiences across North America, opening for The Lumineers during their BRIGHTSIDE World Tour in 2022, performing in sold-out arenas including a memorable homecoming in Denver before 40,000 fans. His collaborations have spanned genres and generations, sharing stages with notable artists such as Gregory Alan Isakov, Ben Harper, Jim James, Dispatch and John Craigie. Daniel is currently touring with Trevor Hall.
In December 2021, The Lumineers released a rendition of one of Daniel’s original songs as the darkly humorous Christmas song, "This is Life (Merry Christmas)," featuring Daniel Rodriguez. His latest album, *Vast Nothing*, released in March 2023, explores new dimensions of his sound, blending Americana folk with layers of psychedelic rock, creating an ethereal yet profoundly grounded experience. His lyrics weave a magical realism within the human experience, themes that resonate deeply with listeners.
Daniel’s sound is often likened to artists such as Iron & Wine, Josh Ritter, Jose Gonzalez and Gregory Alan Isakov, with whom he shares a commitment to lyrical depth and evocative storytelling. Today, Daniel leads his band, known for their unique blend of psychedelic folk rock and Americana, and continues to tour solo, offering intimate concerts that highlight his lyrical prowess and storytelling. Based in Colorado, his music echoes the untamed spirit of the Rocky Mountains—chill, humorous, and imbued with a gentle yet powerful essence that defines his style. Daniel Rodriguez's music is not just heard; it's experienced, creating unforgettable moments of connection and transformation.
Primarily celebrated for his artistry, Daniel has also ventured into music production, working with a select group of artists. His involvement in production, while more recent, showcases his ability to assemble skilled teams and guide the creative process to finely tune each project's sound. Daniel's thoughtful approach to production, focusing on enhancing and aligning with each artist’s vision, has gradually made him a respected figure in the production community. His contributions, though selective, reflect his deep understanding of music and his commitment to quality in every endeavor.
