Sounding It Out w. Stacey & Casey (Lakewood)

Sounding It Out w. Stacey & Casey (Lakewood)

Casey Lewis @caseylynnlewis & Stacey Pickering @we_are_vibrational_energy have been co-creating Sound Bath + Reiki offerings together for quite some time, as well as engaging in their own vocal sounding practices individually & in small groups. Both regularly experience supportive, transformative healing through their explorations with vocalizing - humming, toning, groaning, growling!, or whatever arises. As their collaborative Sound + Reiki offerings have evolved, they feel guided to not only share their vibrational support with folks for the time that we are gathered, but to help (re)connect participants with the medicine that those of us with breath & voice carry within and can almost always access.

Sounding it Out is about empowering ourselves to remember & reclaim our voices to support our own healing & liberation. In this practice we slow down, listen within, and notice what is asking for attention. We will bring care to the parts of us that need it through breath & vocalization (whatever arises! - maybe even a simple song / chant invitation). This can be done sitting, lying down, moving as needed, and even silently, in stillness, if desired.

Then, we'll release the practice & nestle in with blankets and bolsters to receive the restorative vibrations of crystal & Tibetan singing bowls, bells, chimes, gong, shruti box, rain stick, guda drum, & voice, and group hands-off (& possibly, optionally 1:1 hands-on) nurturing Reiki.

We'll take some time to process silently, with the option of journaling or artistic expression - bring supplies if you desire! -
then close our gathering, with an invitation to share.

Of course, vocal sounding is optional, as are all parts of these gatherings. Silence can surely be medicine too. But if there is something in us that fears being heard, perhaps a supportive container of nonjudgement is the perfect place to lean in with curiosity & compassion, and explore what happens when we give ourselves permission to have a voice.

Murmurations Yoga & Book Club - Briefly Perfectly Human by Alua Arthur (Lakewood)

Murmurations Yoga & Book Club - Briefly Perfectly Human by Alua Arthur (Lakewood)

This year feels different – heavy, terrifying, enraging, yes – but instead of retreating, self-isolating and mourning, we are hungry for connection and community. We are taking stock of our resources. Some are limited, like our time on earth; others are boundless, like our capacity for giving and receiving love. How do we maximize and nurture goodness in the time we have right now?

Our 2025 Murmurations books are meant to guide us toward what matters, and help us recognize the quiet, mobilizing power of love in all its forms.

 

August 1st: Hope In The Dark by Rebecca Solnit

About the book: 

A book as powerful and influential as Rebecca Solnit's Men Explain Things to Me, her Hope in the Dark was written to counter the despair of radicals at a moment when they were focused on their losses and had turned their back to the victories behind them and the unimaginable changes soon to come. In it, she makes a radical case for hope as a commitment to act in a world whose future remains uncertain and unknowable. Drawing on her decades of activism and a wide reading of environmental, cultural, and political history, Solnit argued that radicals have a long, neglected history of transformative victories, that the positive consequences of our acts are not always immediately seen, directly knowable, or even measurable, and that pessimism and despair rest on an unwarranted confidence about what is going to happen next. Now, with a moving new introduction explaining how the book came about and a new afterword that helps teach us how to hope and act in our unnerving world, she brings a new illumination to the darkness of 2016 in an unforgettable new edition of this classic book.

Writer, historian, and activist Rebecca Solnit is the author of eighteen or so books on feminism, western and indigenous history, popular power, social change and insurrection, wandering and walking, hope and disaster, including the books Men Explain Things to Me and Hope in the Dark, both also with Haymarket; a trilogy of atlases of American cities; The Faraway Nearby; A Paradise Built in Hell: The Extraordinary Communities that Arise in Disaster; A Field Guide to Getting Lost; Wanderlust: A History of Walking; and River of Shadows, Eadweard Muybridge and the Technological Wild West (for which she received a Guggenheim, the National Book Critics Circle Award in criticism, and the Lannan Literary Award). A product of the California public education system from kindergarten to graduate school, she is a columnist at Harper's and a regular contributor to the Guardian.

Heart Alchemy: From Grief to Resilience - An Afternoon Writing & Embodiment Retreat (Lakewood)

Heart Alchemy: From Grief to Resilience - An Afternoon Writing & Embodiment Retreat

w. Naazneen Diwan

 

Why make space for grief? There is so much loss and pain and heartache in this moment that it might feel overwhelming to face. And, when we do, in community, in this cared for container of ritual, yoga, meditation and poetry, that is when we can truly open to the joy and resilience that is our birthright. No need for any formal training, either in yoga or poetry or spiritual practice, this retreat is open to anyone who longs to heal, who wants to connect with the heart, and who wants to learn and grow in their spiritual strength. Poetry and embodiment are our sacred vehicles for harnessing the boundless powers of our hearts -- the love, compassion and fortitude that we just need uncover and invite into the light.

Letting Go and Letting In: Writing in and Through Grief

w. Naazneen Diwan

 

This half day retreat explores how we honor what has passed and who has passed out of our lives through entering and centering grieving and the present absence in our bodies and in our writing. What we are creating together is a sacred space to open to the felt sense of loss; bookending with ritual, guided practices of meditation and movement and fostering trust in the process. We explore: how love changes forms; what it means to be a compassionate witness as we acknowledge our pain via poetry; and how we can touch into the courage to open the heart after heartbreak when amongst community. Participants are encouraged to come as they are, share as they feel comfortable, and tap into the healing and resilience made possible when we step out of isolation and hiding and into bold expression of our pain.

This Sacred Circle will include magical bits of wisdom surrounding our theme offered by our facilitator, Steph Trzaska, along with invitations for self-inquiry, group sharing, and a restorative meditation and sound bath.

to Jul 20

Bendy Sprouts Yoga For Kiddos

  • Abide West at Willow Room Collective (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

This summer, treat your little ones to a fun exploration of yoga and meditation!

In this two-day workshop, children in age groups 4-6 and 7-10 will attend sessions filled with games, stories, and songs that teach yoga fundamentals and breathing techniques in a playful way.

Kids will be encouraged to practice tools of self-expression and emotional regulation in a safe container while making new friends. Learning these types of skills from a young age promotes confidence, compassion, and groundedness that they can carry with them as they continue to learn about themselves and the world.

We will have a reflection activity/journal prompts for the parents who'd like to wait in the lobby while their kids are practicing yoga. The studio is also in the heart of Lakewood with plenty of places to walk nearby while class is going.


Pre-requisite: For the best experience, we ask that children are potty trained and able to follow simple instructions with little help

Please sign up by noon on Friday, 7/18, so facilitators can make preparations and send an email out to parents before the weekend.

 

Meg Olegario and Pearl Chen lead this fun practice!

Saturday and Sunday, July 19th & 20th

1 - 1:30pm for 4 - 6 year olds

2:30 - 3:15 for 7 - 10 year olds

Cost per child: $20/25/30 for both days, $15/20/25 for one day

Fifteen and a half hours of continuous daylight, Summer Solstice is on its way! In previous years, Stacey and I have gathered with y'all in the Great Meadow in Forest Hill Park to greet the turning of the season. We watched the wind blow through the tops of the trees, the curious young deer wander nearby, the sun slowly descend down into the lake. We spread out blankets and sheets and laid down in the tall grass together. Fireflies and flowers and all of us breathing, moving, and resting together. These have always been magical evenings that I won't soon forget, and I'm excited to enjoy more time honoring the change.

Join us for an evening of qigong, yin yoga, meditation, a sound bath, and rest. Let's soak in the beauty of nature in this season, and prepare for the harvest ahead.

Murmurations Yoga & Book Club w. Tanya Reynolds - What It Takes To Heal by Prentiss Hemphill (Lakewood)

This year feels different – heavy, terrifying, enraging, yes – but instead of retreating, self-isolating and mourning, we are hungry for connection and community. We are taking stock of our resources. Some are limited, like our time on earth; others are boundless, like our capacity for giving and receiving love. How do we maximize and nurture goodness in the time we have right now?

Our 2025 Murmurations books are meant to guide us toward what matters, and help us recognize the quiet, mobilizing power of love in all its forms.

 

June 20: What It Takes To Heal by Prentiss Hemphill

About the book: 

As we emerge from the past few years of collective upheaval, are we ready to face the complexities of our time with joy, authenticity, and connection? Now more than ever, we must learn to heal ourselves, connect with one another, and embody our values. In this revolutionary book, Prentis Hemphill shows us how.

What It Takes to Heal asserts that the principles of embodiment—the recognition of our body’s sensations and habits, and the beliefs that inform them—are critical to lasting healing and change. Hemphill, an expert embodiment practitioner, therapist, and activist who has partnered with Brené Brown, Tarana Burke, and Esther Perel, among others, shows us that we don't have to carry our emotional burdens alone. Hemphill demonstrates a future in which healing is done in community, weaving together stories from their own experience as a trauma survivor with clinical accounts and lessons learned from their time as a social movement architect. They ask, “What would it do to movements, to our society and culture, to have the principles of healing at the very center? And what does it do to have healing at the center of every structure and everything we create?”

In this life-affirming framework for the way forward, Hemphill shows us how to heal our bodies, minds, and souls—to develop the interpersonal skills necessary to break down the doors of disconnection and take the necessary risks to reshape our world toward justice.

Sacred Seasons Yoga w. Caressa Joyce (Lakewood)

Sacred Seasons Yoga: Spring

Your spot in our next Sacred Seasons Yoga Circle is ready and waiting! It’s an intimate gathering crafted to deeply reconnect you with yourself and the Earth within a circle of kindred spirits.

✨ What you'll experience:

 

Each gathering is different—shaped by the energy of the season, the phase of the moon, and those present in the room - but at the core, you can expect:

  • Opening Ritual & Meditation – Create sacred space by altar building, guided breath work, and intention setting

  • Embodiment practice of fluid yoga movement designed to balance and align with the essence of the season

  • Vocal expression through song 

  • Reflection and Oracle Cards – Exploring our connection to Spirit and sharing thoughts

  • Closing Ritual – Blessings, offering gratitude and integration

Each gathering is an immersive ritual—woven with breath, movement, and soul. 

In this month’s Sacred Seasons Yoga Circle, we'll be:

  • Releasing stuck beliefs and emotions that keep us acting small through movement and ritual

  • Exploring the power of self- expression and claiming our true identities 

  • Offering gratitude for the beauty and abundance of the Earth as we witness the transition from Spring to Summer

These circles are a soothing balm for the soul and it’s because of the healing power of being in a room where you don't have to hold it all together. A space where you can laugh, cry, and breathe deeply.

 It's because your nervous system recognizes the familiar feeling of being held in community and can finally relax. 

Spots are limited—claim your spot now if your heart feels the pull.

 

I can't wait to welcome you home to the circle.

Sounding It Out w. Stacey & Casey
May

Sounding It Out w. Stacey & Casey

Casey Lewis @caseylynnlewis & Stacey Pickering @we_are_vibrational_energy have been co-creating Sound Bath + Reiki offerings together for quite some time, as well as engaging in their own vocal sounding practices individually & in small groups. Both regularly experience supportive, transformative healing through their explorations with vocalizing - humming, toning, groaning, growling!, or whatever arises. As their collaborative Sound + Reiki offerings have evolved, they feel guided to not only share their vibrational support with folks for the time that we are gathered, but to help (re)connect participants with the medicine that those of us with breath & voice carry within and can almost always access.

Sounding it Out is about empowering ourselves to remember & reclaim our voices to support our own healing & liberation. In this practice we slow down, listen within, and notice what is asking for attention. We will bring care to the parts of us that need it through breath & vocalization (whatever arises! - maybe even a simple song / chant invitation). This can be done sitting, lying down, moving as needed, and even silently, in stillness, if desired.

Then, we'll release the practice & nestle in with blankets and bolsters to receive the restorative vibrations of crystal & Tibetan singing bowls, bells, chimes, gong, shruti box, rain stick, guda drum, & voice, and group hands-off (& possibly, optionally 1:1 hands-on) nurturing Reiki.

We'll take some time to process silently, with the option of journaling or artistic expression - bring supplies if you desire! -
then close our gathering, with an invitation to share.

Of course, vocal sounding is optional, as are all parts of these gatherings. Silence can surely be medicine too. But if there is something in us that fears being heard, perhaps a supportive container of nonjudgement is the perfect place to lean in with curiosity & compassion, and explore what happens when we give ourselves permission to have a voice.

Grief in Bloom: May Grief Circle

Grief in Bloom: May Grief Circle

May is a month of blooming and for many, a time when grief quietly resurfaces or feels like it needs to be hidden away. Join us for Grief in Bloom: a gentle, hands-on community gathering where we’ll create floral bouquets that give voice to our grief. Each flower, chosen with intention, becomes a symbol of loss, remembrance, and healing. Grief doesn’t always follow the seasons, but when the world begins to bloom again in May, we can make space to honor our sorrow and our tenderness.

We will create a communal space of healing by incorporating a community altar, breathwork, creating flower bouquets, journaling, and shared time in community. 

A Grief Circle is a safe, sacred space to honor your grief, hold space for one another, and find connection when it feels like society wants us to do the opposite. We welcome you to come as you are, with your grief and your love. All grief is welcome here: loss of people, transitions, illness, identity, societal, and beyond. 

Participants are invited to bring photos, objects, or items that represent their grief for the altar and a journal. Light Snacks and Tea will be provided. 

Saturday, 5/17 6PM – 8PM

Murmurations Yoga & Book Club: Pleasure Activism by adrienne maree brown (Lakewood)
Apr

Murmurations Yoga & Book Club: Pleasure Activism by adrienne maree brown (Lakewood)

This year feels different – heavy, terrifying, enraging, yes – but instead of retreating, self-isolating and mourning, we are hungry for connection and community. We are taking stock of our resources. Some are limited, like our time on earth; others are boundless, like our capacity for giving and receiving love. How do we maximize and nurture goodness in the time we have right now?

Our 2025 Murmurations books are meant to guide us toward what matters, and help us recognize the quiet, mobilizing power of love in all its forms.

 

April 18: Pleasure Activism: The Politics of Feeling Good a book by Adrienne Maree Brown 

 

If you came to our Come As You Are conversation last fall, maybe you’ve been thinking differently about how to harness pleasure. Adrienne maree brown takes us further than what feels good – to how we can use our pursuit of pleasure (no strings, no fear) to move toward a more just and radical world.

 

About the book: 

How do we make social justice the most pleasurable human experience? How can we awaken within ourselves desires that make it impossible to settle for anything less than a fulfilling life? Author and editor adrienne maree brown finds the answer in something she calls "pleasure activism," a politics of healing and happiness that explodes the dour myth that changing the world is just another form of work. 

 

Drawing on the black feminist tradition, she challenges us to rethink the ground rules of activism. Her mindset-altering essays are interwoven with conversations and insights from other feminist thinkers, including Audre Lorde, Joan Morgan, Cara Page, Sonya Renee Taylor, and Alexis Pauline Gumbs. Together they cover a wide array of subjects--from sex work to climate change, from race and gender to sex and drugs--building new narratives about how politics can feel good and how what feels good always has a complex politics of its own.
