Return to Resonance - Soundbath

A grounding sound journey inviting you to soften and return to the quiet wisdom of your body. Through crystal bowls, gong, chimes, and guided meditation, we'll explore resonance as a pathway back to belonging - to ourselves, to the earth, and to the living world around us. This session is an invitation to rest, receive, and remeber that nature is not separate from us; it is what we are.

Keeping Your Balance / Our Relationship to Gravity

Gravity never takes a day off. It's always pulling us toward the ground. As we age, our muscles naturally become weaker, our vision and inner ear change, and our reaction time slows. All of these make it harder to stay steady.

But here's the good news: our bodies are designed to adapt. Every time we practice balance, we're training our brain, muscles, and nervous system to work together more effectively. Movement is how we stay one step ahead of gravity.

While aging is inevitable, losing balance is not. Regular strength and balance exercises can help us stay independent, confident, and active within our individual abilities.  

We look forward to seeing you in class as we strengthen our bodies, improve our balance, and prove that it's never too late to age up well.

Maryse Lapierre

Sound to Silence: Participatroy Vocal Exploration & Mindful Meditation

Join Maryse for an experiential vocal sound journey of humming and toning harmonium and singing bowl. This is a heart opening practice, a playful way to reset vagus nerve and an effective way to show up with a voice and instrument (your very own boday!) more authentically attuned to who you truly are. A way to give yourself and others the full spectrum of vibrations that is your unique voice. We'll play with opposites by going from sound to silence, from movement to stillness, as we'll end class with a guided Mindful Meditation. No singing or mediation experience needed.

Fascia: What is it? Where is it? And why does it matter?

An Introduction to Fascia - Have you ever wondered why tension in one part of the body can affect another? Or why movement, touch, and even stress can change how your body feels? The answer often lies in fascia - the body's remarkable connective tissue network. In this workshop, you'll explore what fascia is, how it functions, and why it has become one of the most exciting areas of study in anatomy, movement science, rehabilitation, and bodywork.

3 Bodies Creative Movement

This is a movement-based class to connect more deeply with the whole self, reinhabiting our expressive physical form through use of imagery, story, drawing/writing, prop-based exploration, partner/group dynamics and freeform dance. Inspired by dance, qigong, meditation, Butoh, and other somatic practices, we light up our creative pathways to live more in our authentic self, showing up in a way that reflects one's genuine self without holding back or conforming.

Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE)

Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE) is a simple yet innovative series of exercises that assist the body in releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension and trauma. Created by Dr. David Berceli, PhD, TRE safely activates a natural reflex mechanism of shaking or vibrating that releases muscular tension, calming down the nervous system. When this muscular shaking/vibrating mechanism is activated in a safe and controlled environment, the body is encouraged to return back to a state of balance.

Engage & Release - Deep Fascial Stretches

Fascia is the body's foundational support system — and a gateway to our true nature.
When we engage it through prolonged, sustained pressure and stretching, we unlock
balance across body, mind, and spirit. This 90-minute class guides you inward, giving
your true nature the space to be felt, supported, and expressed. All body types and
experience levels welcome.

All there is is Energy: An Introduction to Structural Energy Work

This experiential workshop will connect us deeply with our true nature as beings comprised of energy structures. These subtle, invisible structures — like the chakras — pattern and influence our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual wellbeing. By tuning into and working on these structures, we can transform our lives! The workshop will begin with a guided meditation to attune us to our energy system as well a brief introduction to some of our core energy structures. We will then learn and practice a basic, powerful intuitive energy treatment before wrapping up with a group debrief and Q&A. No prior knowledge or experience with energy work required!

Chakra Breathing - Transformational Breathwork Journey

Chakra Breathing, a transformational breathwork experience designed to awaken the body's natural capacity for healing. Through conscious connected breathing, guided chakra meditation, somatic release, visualization, and sound, you'll gently clear stagnant energy, regulate your nervous system, expand your life force, and reconnect with your authentic self.

This practice is both deeply restorative and profoundly empowering, inviting you to release what no longer serves you while cultivating greater clarity, vitality, and inner peace. No previous experience is necessary—simply come as you are and allow your breath to guide the way.

Writing Wild - A Nature Writing Workshop

This outdoor experience will bring you into a deeper presence and connection with the living world. Through mindfulness invitations, you will draw on your sensory perceptions to write wild from your heart and body, instead of your, often analytical and sometimes critical, head.
