Today our team did our final closing ceremony with Kaycee. We shared all of our words of gratitude and sent her off with prayers. Such a perfect way to honor all she has brought to the team.

My Dear Kaycee Joy,

What you bring into a room is a kind of magic that can not be taught. It’s something you carry and bring through your very own wisdom, and because of that it changes every space you are part of. Somatic Wisdom was shaped by your presence in ways that can’t be replicated.

I have watched you be incredibly tenacious with your growth. You listened to the voice inside you that always knew you were here for something bigger. Even when there was so much to face, you stayed with yourself and the work until you were truly ready to fly.

I am deeply grateful that you have walked beside me through years of growth and transition. When you show up, you show up fully — with your whole heart, your integrity, and your commitment every single time. I have leaned on you in ways I will forever be grateful for.

When the moment came for you to take what you cultivated here and make it fully your own, we both felt a deep sense of peace wash over us. This is it. The time is now for your medicine to move freely in the world.

With so much love, thank you Kaycee Joy. 🩷

Cacao Meditation with Ryan DeLuca
Friday, January 30th
9:00 - 10:30am

Our heart is often seen as the seat of intuition — the place within where we can listen deeply and remember who we truly are.

Join us for a morning of connection and embodiment as you enjoy a cup of ceremonial cacao, lovingly hand-crafted by Somatic Wisdom Institute lead teacher, Ryan DeLuca. Ryan will guide you through a gentle breath and embodiment practice to quiet the mind and soothe the nervous system, followed by a guided meditation into your heart space — an invitation to reconnect with yourself and your life.

This heart-centered class is offered monthly in our Eastown studio.

✨Women’s Breathwork Ceremony✨

Wednesday, January 21st
6:30 - 9:00pm

✨Step into a sacred evening woven with intention, sisterhood, and soul nourishment. This women’s ceremony invites you to journey inward through the heart-opening spirit of ceremonial cacao, the liberating rhythm of the breath, and the soothing waves of sound.

✨We’ll begin by grounding into presence and honor a cup of ceremonial cacao—crafted with love and prayer—to awaken the heart and invite a deeper sense of connection to yourself and the women around you. From there, you’ll be guided into a breathwork practice that gently dissolves tension, clears energetic stagnation, and opens pathways for life force to move freely once again.

✨Later, you’ll be invited to rest back and receive a meditative sound bath—an immersive experience of vibration and frequency that encourages integration and deep nervous system restoration. The tones of crystal singing bowls, chimes, and other healing instruments will help you slip into a state of stillness, where your body can remember its innate harmony.

✨This evening is a portal for renewal—a chance to return home to your essence, to remember your wholeness, and to connect heart-to-heart with a circle of women walking the same sacred path.

✨Come as you are. Bring your softness, your wildness, your tears, and your joy. Together, we’ll create a sanctuary of feminine medicine—where breath, sound, and cacao become the language of the heart.

✨Co-Ed Breathwork✨
Wednesday, February 4th,
6:30 - 9:00pm

✨Join us for a transformative breathwork ceremony where we’ll honor cacao and breathwork to reach a new state of awareness. This is a powerful way to release stress, let go of limiting beliefs, and clear out any stuck and stagnant energy.

✨Let your breath guide you inward to a non-ordinary state that unlocks congestion in your physical, mental and energetic body.

✨Sink into a relaxing sound bath with gongs, singing bowls and soothing percussion. The sound vibration will help you unwind, realign and find a deep sense of wellbeing. These powerful breathwork sessions are designed to help you reconnect with yourself, your body, and your intuition. It’s a chance to let go of what isn’t serving you and embrace your true self.

✨Stay after hours for community integration: a light dinner, sauna, hot & cold tubs.

✨These ceremonies offer a way home—back to yourself, your body, and the deep knowing that lives within you.

Note that this is an offsite event in Sparta, MI. Exact address will be provided upon registration.

✨ Winter Solstice ✨

Today we meet the longest night of the year.

A holy pause.
A turning inward.

Winter Solstice invites us to slow the body, soften the breath, and listen more closely to the quiet wisdom within. In tending what is subtle and unseen, we prepare the soil for what will grow.

May you honor this threshold in whatever way feels nourishing: with candlelight, prayer, rest, gentle movement, or simply allowing yourself to be.

From the deep dark, the light returns.
We witness this turning together. 🕯️

✨The circle continues to widen✨

Each gift to the foundation opens another seat in the circle, another story waiting to be told.

✨ Donate today and help the Somatic Wisdom Foundation provide tuition to retreats, 1:1 sessions and ceremonies for those who might not have access otherwise.

Every dollar is matched through the end of the year.

✨January 13, 6:30 - 8:30pm

In a world that’s constantly shifting, many men are left asking: “How am I supposed to show up?”

Between expectations, pressures, and changing definitions of masculinity, it’s easy to lose our place—or feel like we never had one to begin with.

Breathing Into Brotherhood is a guided breathwork experience designed to support men in healing, grounding, and reconnecting with their true essence. This is a space to explore what it means to be a man today—without judgment, without the need to perform, and without having to explain your story.

Through conscious breathwork, we’ll move energy and emotion through the body—not to dissect it, but to release it. This is not about talking it out, it’s about feeling it through.

Join us for this popular men’s breathwork event on January 13th.

A Year-End Giving Campaign for the Somatic Wisdom Foundation

In December, your gift doubles! 👯

Each time someone joins a retreat, ceremony, or training through the support of the Somatic Wisdom Foundation, the circle of healing widens.

Your generosity makes this possible. Through your gifts, people who have experienced oppression and denied equitable access are able to enter spaces of deep restoration, embodied wisdom and community belonging — spaces where healing is not a luxury but a birthright.

This year, we invite you to help the circle continue to widen. Every contribution supports scholarships for individuals who might not otherwise have access — and through our matching gift, every dollar you give in December will be doubled.

Together, we’re building a field of healing that is inclusive, rooted, and alive with possibility.

Because when the circle widens, we all become more whole.

How has this work impacted your life story? Give today and help another story find its place in the circle.

When the circle widens, we all become more whole.

🌹Community Yoni Steam 🌹

Saturday, November 15th
12:30 & 4:00pm

Join Megan Smit and Mary Fields for a deeply nourishing workshop on the ancient practice of Yoni Steaming (also known as Vaginal Steaming, V-Steam, or Bajos).

Discover how this sacred ritual supports women’s health and vitality—offering relief for menstrual cramps, brown blood, clots, vaginal dryness, hot flashes, postpartum recovery, and even bladder, yeast, or vaginal infections.

Together, we’ll explore both the wisdom and the practice of steaming. You’ll have the option to participate in a group steam (with complete privacy—no one will see your Yoni), or simply join for the knowledge and discussion if you prefer.

Come connect with your body, your cycle, and your inner power in this beautiful celebration of feminine healing.

Limited to 8 people per steam. Steams will be held at 12:30 & 4:00pm.

🌸Flower Essences 🌸

Saturday, November 15th
Throughout the day 🌸

Flower essences are gentle vibrational remedies that support emotional balance, energetic alignment, and overall well-being. Working on a subtle, energetic level, they help bring awareness to underlying patterns, ease emotional stress, and invite a deeper sense of harmony and presence. These natural allies can be powerful companions in times of transition, healing, and personal growth.
