Howdy from Soma Ranch!
This week we experienced an “off the charts” amazing Nia White Belt “Art Of Sensation” training retreat at Soma Ranch. Great SOLD OUT retreat with a group of participants who were present, showed up and fully participated. For example “officially” the Nia White Belt is no longer for teachers, instead it’s the foundational course for everyone. Knowing there were some very keen students who had strong intentions to teach, I was able to weave some “Soma Play” sessions. Participants had the option to attend these bonus sessions, or go play independently at Soma Ranch. When I asked the 10 participants “who is interested in the possibility of participating in a jam, where you could each teach a song in a collective community class experience?” Everybody immediately shot their hands up in the air. I was delightfully surprised and almost fell backwards in amazement! And the JAM was phenomenal, with high levels of embodied awareness, relaxation and joy.
Natasha is teaching both Saturday Morning classes: X Ray Anatomy and Sensational Mix
The weather was great. We were extremely thankful to not loose power during the hurricane. Fortunately grocery stores were reopened and sufficiently stocked for us to be able to have the necessary supplies to feed the group! We were able to do several extra curriculum activities including Sunset Boat Ride, Cowboy Church and S’mores! Over the next few week’s we’ll likely share more about this fantastic week.
Joe and Helen are heading out to the Soma Satelite “Cabin” Retreat by Lake Cushman, near Seattle, WA Sunday - Thursday (temperatures in 70’s by day and 50’s at night). We have a fabulous “ranch sitter” and are excited to experiment with this developing theme of living part time in Washington State while someone runs Soma Ranch. Gigi is teaching the 10am Monday and Thursday classes at Soma Ranch and “the team” are coving online classes.
We’ve opened up registration for the August 30 day challenge. We are beginning a 3 month series “a journey through the body” where we focus on the Base for August, Core for September and Upper Extremities for October.
FYI on July 31, 8am, we will be celebrating the end of this sensational month with a 30 minute team jam. (SAVE the DATE)
Be well, with love from
Helen, Joe, the team and all the fond 4 legged friends at Soma.
