SOMATIC ALCHEMY WORKSHOP
Led by Christiaan + Melissa Cokas
Join us for SOMATIC ALCHEMY, a powerful 3-hour workshop designed to unlock your body’s innate intelligence + dissolve the unconscious blocks to your full expression.
We begin by immersing in a somatic movement session, a blend of guided exploration, intuitive dance + mindful movement; an invitation to listen deeply to the wisdom of your body. This transformative practice helps release tension, restore energetic flow, + awaken the joy of embodiment.
As we arrive to presence within our bodies, we transition into a guided neurolinguistic programming (NLP) journey. Here, you’ll be led into the depths of your mind to identify + resolve unconscious behaviors, patterns, or beliefs that have held you back from living your highest potential.
Through this guided process, you will reprogram limiting thought patterns, creating space for new possibilities + deeper self-connection.
By the end of the workshop, you'll leave with a renewed sense of clarity, lightness, + integration—fully grounded in your body + open to life’s abundance. This is more than a workshop; it’s a portal to lasting transformation.

RESTORATIVE SOUND
JOURNEY
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 26th 530-7pm
We warmly invite you to drop into a beautiful, quiet space with both yourself and welcoming community, at a time when we can often find ourselves caught up in the busyness of tending to others. Just a couple of days before the meaningful celebration of Thanksgiving, let’s take this opportunity to connect with our deepest feelings of gratitude and appreciation.
Please wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing, as we will be gently moving our bodies before settling in to restorative yoga postures with the thoughtful aid of various props, ensuring that we can be as comfortable as possible while we relax and enjoy the experience of journeying through a variety of soothing soundscapes.
