Journey IN to BEing

Journey IN to BEing Journey IN to BEing is a pathway in which to activate your lifeforce and embody your true essence. Hello kindred spirit and welcome! I'm glad you are here!

You are in the right place if you want to raise your frequency and vibration to higher levels of consciousness to harmonize all areas of your life. I created Journey IN to BEing as a pathway in which to activate your lifeforce energy and embody your true essence with the intention of connecting with others seeking to shine their light and live more vibrant, balanced lives from a place of inner awareness. I look forward to holding space for you on your own personal Journey IN to BEing in the healing presence of safe, sacred community. All of this originated from my own journey to find more meaning and purpose. Yearning for a "deeper life, a full life, a sane life" (Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Women Who Run With the Wolves), I began my Journey IN to BEing in 2013 first discovering sound healing at Body & Soul in Dubuque, Iowa and then yoga. I have been navigating the yogic path with a felt sense of awe and curiosity ever since, weaving my experiences into my offerings. I am a licensed Chakradance facilitator and have completed 200-Hour YTT through Body & Soul, 95-Hour Youth YTT through Challenge to Change, Louise Hay Heal Your Life training and hold certificates in Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy and Betsy Rippentrop's signature Yoga for the Mind program (an in-depth certification bridging psychology and yoga for mental wellbeing). I have traveled from coast to coast to Esalen, Mount Madonna, Kripalu, and The Himalayan Institute learning about chakras, conscious dance, ceremony, ritual, mindfulness, archetypes, shamanism, inner child and shadow work, somatics, and regulating the nervous system. I have completed Psychology of the Chakras and SHE RISES: Awakening Our Female Archetypes of Leadership Training with Anodea Judith, one of the nation's leading experts on the chakras. Offerings:

Personalized Retreats: Private sessions can be customized for your group (to include any of the below services). Create your own unique retreat experience lasting from one hour to a full weekend immersion. Great for girl's night/weekend, birthday parties, family reunion, monthly meetings for your organization, workplace wellness, bridal shower, bachelorette party or any meaningful gathering! Hygge Circles invite you to come as you are and join together in sangha (safe, sacred community) to reawaken your lifeforce through ceremony and ritual and open the portal to your true essence. We will hold space for each other, lift each other up, and raise the vibration bringing forth loving energy and peace that will have a ripple effect in our lives and communities. Chakradance is a sacred movement practice to balance the chakras. It is recognized by the International Institute for Complementary Therapists as a healing modality. Free flowing movement, chakra resonant music, guided imagery, and mandala art open the portal to reconnecting with your true essence and embodying consciousness. No dance experience necessary! LifeYoga classes guide you on a transformational journey back to your Self through poses, mantra, mudra, breath work, meditation, chakra balancing, and aromatherapy. Step into the true you, find your path, and start consciously living your purpose. LifeYoga for Kids classes offer lifelong wellness skills through a fun, interactive 7-part practice that weaves music and stories with mindful practices such as meditation, breath awareness, expressive movement, and art. The intention is to equip children with the life tools and life skills for lifelong wellbeing. Heal Your Life Transformational Workshops are based on the principals and practices from Louise Hay's best selling book You Can Heal Your Life. Lindsay's training was with Heart Inspired Presentations, LLC through an exclusive licensing agreement with Hay House, Inc. Topics include affirmations, abundance, prosperity, releasing doubt/fear/worry/anger/guilt/resentment, inner child work, mind body connection, and much more! I was a Mediator for the First Judicial District of Iowa Family Law Mediation Program from 2014 to 2025 and have been a Legal Assistant for 24 years helping clients seamlessly navigate through some of the toughest situations they have ever faced in their lives. My mantra is "Live in Love".

You may have heard that Challenge to Change recently lost 100% of their state funding, impacting their yoga in the schools programming. One of the ways you can help is by purchasing items from their store.

"Natalie Southgate offers fascinating insights into the effect of movement on the chakras." - Dr Deepak Chopra

The role of the chakra system is to help regulate the human energy field, commonly known as the aura. The aura is a dynamic, energetic matrix, which includes the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of our being.

Every human being has seven major chakras and each one influences an aspect of our lives. From our instincts, sexuality and personal power through to how we love, communicate, use our intuition and connect to our deepest source of spirituality.

✨When you discover the power and the energy that resides within you, it is like coming home. Chakradance™ is a form of nourishment for your true self, for your soul. Blending free-flowing movements with particular frequencies of sound, Chakradance will free the energy in your body and open you to a deeper experience of life. It’s a practice of dynamic moving meditations.✨
