How are you this global “pause”? Keeping track of time has been a big challenge here and we’re stunned to realize this is the 5th week of on-Line classes due to the pandemic. All retreats and rentals at Soma Ranch have come to a halt. 90% of our bookings requested full refunds. Good news is NIA TRAININGS ARE ON!! (whether local or virtual we are finding a way to make these happen!)
Joe’s keeping busy getting the ranch things done we don’t usually have time for. Helen’s teaching 10 classes a week at www.facebook.com/groups/helenterry. The community (local and global) has been incredibly supportive, shifting to LIVE Stream classes.
We are about to add some ZOOM classes, courses and calls. Please email helen@somaranch.com if you’re interested, particularly if you are not on facebook (where we are providing regular updates)
We’re amazed, and thankful, for the ability to shift and shape according to the present conditions and play creatively, even though we don’t know what’s going to happen. Something Helen and Joe do well is make the best out of whatever the circumstances! Helen (and her Mum LOL) is super grateful to be sleeping better than usual!
Joe and Helen feel very strongly about offering open classes to all; to support fellow teachers and provide service to everybody. This is why all classes are offered on an “honor/donation” basis; Participants have the choice to “PAY their local teacher, RECEIVE the class as a gift or SUPPORT Soma Ranch (pay here or @iLoveSoma Venmo)”
If you're in need, we hope you take advantage of the LIVE stream options and attend as many classes as possible as our guest. If you are able, we thank you for contributing to the class (either your local teacher or Helen).
Thank everybody who comes to dance, what a “global tribe/family” we are!
