Wow! what an amazing week at Soma Ranch with 3 wonderful women from around the country (and Canada!), plus, someone who attended via zoom! We came together and co- created magic.
We danced, explored, learned, shared, laughed AND LAUGHED a lot! A lovely reminder of how when we stay light, engaged and curious deep work and self discovery can evolve with minimum frustration/pain and maximum fascination/pleasure.
Folks arrived safely, Wednesday afternoon, despite the epic floods in our area!
Something wonderfully confirming sings inside of me when I set up the studio for the first night “yes! this is why we’re here!”. Sitting around the Soma Dining Room table on the first night, hearing where folks are from and learning a little more about each other, is a lovely way to get to know each other.
The studio “community social” room (fondly called the LOVE room) lends itself well to some of the Nia Blue Belt Sessions (like the Power of 2 ~ Communication). The studio “dance” room (fondly called the JOY room) bring wonderful light, awesome sound and sparkling sprung birch wood floor.
As Joe says “people eat with their eyes” we had some lovely food as art. May 5th was celebrated with a “Mexican Fiesta” meal, including decorations, hats, music and dessert to compliment the feast with a theme.
There were many meaningful conversations and great giggles experienced. Lovely memories created as we enjoyed the breeze, perfect temperature and beautiful nature sounds, undercover outdoors.
We enjoyed conversations around the dining table and HYBRID (simultaneous in person and online) Nia Classes. Kelly visited from Fort Worth and Peggy popped over from The Woodlands. We love how folks who return to revisit a Nia Belt training bring a wonderful added layer that enhances the experience for all.
Teaching “Fun Friday” (where the class brings the moves, I, Helen, bring the moves and together we co-create magical experience) was extra special with all the Nia Blue Belt participants dancing with me in the studio! Our Graduation lunch party was fun with Joe creating food with the Nia and Soma Ranch logo, sparkling (non alcoholic) fizzy bubbly in our “wedding flutes”.
