In a world where distraction, disconnection, and overstimulation has become the norm - it takes great effort to go against the grain and sit in silence and stillness. Technology has gripped our collective minds and has directed so much of its thoughts, emotional states and (in)ability to focus. In this moment in time, getting grounded in Self can very well be one of the most vital things we can do for ourselves, our wellbeing and the quality of our lived experience.

Join for an afternoon exploring our inner states and experiencing the seat of the Observer - in a donation-based Community Meditation class. Ricardo is with us this 🌸🌻Spring, Sundays at 5pm - offering a guided Community Meditation series designed for both new and seasoned meditators, combining both theory and practice to help students build a practical foundation in meditation. To help calm the mind, relax the body and experience a quiet introspection.

You will learn how to explore the various layers of the mind, how to work skillfully with thoughts and emotions, and how to apply meditation beyond the sitting on a cushion and into everyday life. Through guided practices and simple tools, this series will support a greater calm, clarity, and a deeper sense of connection - both within yourself and with the world around you.

No prior experience needed, just a willingness to slow down and explore. 🌿✨

*meditation can be done in a chair, seated on a bolster or yoga blankets, against the wall or lying down

Join us for a two-hour guided journey of mindful movement, cleansing breathwork, connected to the power of intention. 108 Sun Salutations will set the tone for a year of growth, strength, and possibility. 108 is a sacred number in yogic traditions symbolizing unity and wholeness, connecting our physical existence with spiritual divinity. Surya Namaskar, known as Sun Salutations, is a flowing sequence of breath + movement, honoring the sun as a symbol of renewal and vitality.🌞✨

New Year Intention Setting Soundbath 💫✨🤍✨💫

Step into a sanctuary of stillness and serenity to set your intentions for the coming year in a state of calm clarity and receptivity. Our journey will begin by rooting in the present moment before opening our vision to the future with a guided intention-setting meditation. To allow you to soften and relax into a state of openness, connecting to the dreams that live within our minds and hearts.
Our nourishing Candlelit Sound Bath is set in a softly lit space filled with the gentle glow of candles. This experience is designed to soothe your nervous system, quiet your mind, and invite deep relaxation. As your body settles and tensions release, the sound bath will begin to wash over you on a meditative journey through healing tones and vibrations from crystal singing bowls, chimes, gongs, and other resonant instruments.

Our favorite time of year is here 🙏🏼🍁🍂 A chance to pause, reflect and remind ourselves of all the good, the Light, and blessings around us.🌞✨

As hard as it may feel seeing so little evidence of it on these screens.

They do exist.

They are the small, often overlooked moments we miss in our busy-ness. The deep breath that infuses life in our cells every moment of every day. The warm smiles from the humans we pass. The wonder and innocence that radiate from the eyes of a child. The living, breathing network of trees, flowers birds, bees, and plants that weave through our city, cleansing us and reminding us of our divinity and true simplicity of life. That final moment of quiet and sacred stillness on your mat after a yoga class 🧘🏻‍♀️✨🧘🏽🌳🌿🪴🦋

They are the simple things, the real moments that matter.

So while the world inches closer to the insanity of fake, artificial, anti-life ways — we say let’s stop investing in the systems that create them.

That seems like a big ask, but the choices we make every day with every dollar is what shapes our reality.

Daniela and I got to meet an extraordinary woman, entrepreneur, visionary and small business warrior who started a nonprofit fighting to make sure small businesses have a place to not only survive but thrive in this ever increasingly competitive business climate. Thank you Jane for understanding the importance of this work and how vastly and quickly our neighborhoods are changing, and not for the better.

Small businesses are the heart and soul of our communities. They help create the richness, character, culture, and unique flavors of our neighborhoods.

Think about when you travel - whether you’re road-tripping or flying abroad to another country. What do you look forward to most?

You look forward to sitting at a local cafe people watching, having a beautiful dinner by a local chef, taking a local yoga class, browsing through shops, art galleries - connecting with locals and getting to see a glimpse of the world thru their lens.

But as we all have seen over the last several decades, the business landscape is changing. There are about 5-10 corporate chains that exist in every city across this country, and quite frankly globally. And they OWN the market share.

You go city by city and you find an almost exact copy/paste version of the last. Same sandwich chain, same smoothie chain, same fast food restaurants, same coffee chain.

I don’t have to call them out by name - because you can see their logos in your mind.

And while I’m not saying there isn’t a benefit to having a very predictable meal experience or being able to get the EXACT SAME footlong, burrito bowl or drive-thru latte you can get in 80 different countries. I’m saying that shouldn’t be our ONLY option. God forbid that ever becomes our reality.

I often think about what this world will look like in 10 years, 20 years, 30 years. And if we don’t do something radically to create an economic system that works for more people than the few who own everything, we already know where this is heading.

I know that I don’t want to live in that world. God bless anyone asking themselves what kind of world they want to live in.. and making conscious choices to help us get there.🌎💛

Our blessed Sun is shining upon us, with the scent of the solstice right around the corner 🌞✨. With it brings new energy, new teachers and new classes to the Plum 💜 Help us in welcoming Janeth to our Plum fam 🙏🏼, come experience her grounding energy every Tuesday evening from 8:30-9:30pm for an hour of deep release in our Heated Yin Deep Stretch class.

This class is designed to help us slow down, breathe, and connect to the wholeness of our selves. You will move slowly through various asanas while nourishing our internal landscape of muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments, and fascia. This class will have you on the floor most of the time, using as many props as needed to create the littlest effort required to hold each pose. Each stretch is held for 2-5 minutes to help you connect and breathe into the spaces that need it most. This will allow for the releasing of tension and stagnant energy, while improving circulation and joint mobility. Surrender to gravity with the deep, calming practice of Yin Yoga. Class is heated between 85-95 degrees, and perfect for beginners and experienced yogis alike!

A bit about Janeth’s journey to the mat:

My journey began when I started college in 2015 and wanted to nourish my body again after dancing throughout high school. It took one class that kept me staying consistent with practicing to gain strength and discipline. I started working as a behavior therapist, and decided to learn how to teach yoga and meditation to my clients. Since then, I knew it was going to change my life for the better and brought me closer to my dreams.

I went on to take several other workshops related to special needs and autism. Even taking Reiki to become a Reiki Master has been a huge shift for the better. My completions included of 200hour Multi Style, 95hour Kids, Reiki Master, Animal Reiki, and Somatic and Trauma-informed Yoga.

One of the greatest gift I’ve received was to share my experience in life and how yoga has truly helped connect to my truth. I hope to create a space where everyone feels safe to be vulnerable and listen within. They are reiki- infused and gentle, and a home for Every Body.🤍

You may have already been graced with the healing presence and teaching of this radiant yogini ✨🧘🏼‍♀️ (this intro post is a couple months late ☺️) please join us in offering Michelle a warm welcome to our Wild Plum community 💜

Catch every Tuesday and Friday mornings for a Rise and Flow and Heated Vinyasa practice at 7am 🌻🌸💗🤸🏽‍♀️

Here’s a bit about her journey to the mat:

Yoga is my absolute medicine in this life. I have been practicing yoga for 10 years and have been teaching for the past 3. But I will always be a student of this practice. Yoga has brought so much healing into my life. From helping me move through difficult emotions and anxiety to just becoming more present and at peace in my every day life. I love that yoga encompasses mind, body, and spirit and allows us to nurture whatever our being needs. Because this practice has healed me in so many ways, I want to share that with others so they may live their most grounded and happy lives. I received my 200 hr YTT with La Casa Shambala in Thailand in 2019 and am registered with Yoga Alliance. I teach Hatha and Vinyasa style, but also love intuitive movement and listening to what the body needs. Maybe that’s a power flow one day and slow juicy hip and heart openers the next day! I am merely a guide to help you feel empowered in your asanas and breath, and hope to hold space for you to find your greatest strength and awareness. ♥️

The secret to change is to focus all of your energy, not in fighting the old, but on building the new 🪴✨

- Socrates

The scorpio Sun and libra moon in me brings out the natural fighter in my soul. A desire to go to combat with the injustices and systems of oppression that continue to cause deep suffering from dysfunctions and preventable diseases that frankly shouldn’t exist, and that keep people from reaching their highest potential and purpose in life.

But as I get older (and hopefully wiser) I am realizing that intense energy is much more effective when it is channeled into building the new paradigms, instead of fighting against the ignorance of the old.

Our nephew’s recent cancer diagnosis has been yet another tragic reminder of how change is so desperately needed in our community. How access to real, nourishing food is one of the greatest challenges we face. And solving this problem has been on our minds for over a decade. Daniela and I had a dream of having an organic cafe with the Plum when we first opened but quickly realized we needed to establish our bearings and learn how to run a sustainable business first. We are trying to plant roots that can grow deep and live long after we are gone. Baby steps have always been our approach, and we are taking a few more today towards that new paradigm 😌🌎🌻

Stay tuned for updates as we convert our front lobby into a small, Health food store offering organic, natural foods and plant-based products designed to nourish and heal as nature always divinely intended ✨🍃🥑🍋🫐🥒🥬🍌🙏🏼✨🌞🌿

Orwell had such a keen sense of social observation, and strategies the ruling elites used to oppress and weaken the masses to maintain and grow their dominance. Take people’s most basic, fundamental human needs like food and shelter and turn them into luxuries and privileges. Then sit back and watch the chaos unfold. Watch what happens when people are stuck in a constant state of survival, scrambling , working exhaustively - depleting every ounce of their life force energy to just barely get by. Days become weeks, become months, then years - and before you know it a lifetime of this exploitative work life with little to show but broken down bodies and minds, neglected homes and families.

I believe it was Henry Ford who said “you can never build wealth if all you do is work”
And we all are aware of the worker bee system Henry Ford was famous for.

I could go on and on about how Nixon removing our U.S. dollar off the gold standard would mean our dollar would devalue so extensively (99% by some estimates) that we literally now must work 99% HARDER and more than those of previous generations to achieve the same financial goals. But I’ll save you all the history lesson.

This is a reality I have seen, have lived and now we are experiencing the horrific consequences of. We recently had another cancer diagnosis in our family. Our 19 year old nephew has been diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer. Stage 4!! Colon Cancer!! At 19. I truly have no words but utter disgust at this toxic world. Disgust by the chemical companies poisoning our earth, our water, our food supply. Disgust by the fast food companies that are literally poisoning our people FOR PROFIT. Disgust by the health food industries that have made real, nutrient-dense food a LUXURY and only for the elite. Disgust by the disparities that keep our community from accessing the resources we need! And the pharmaceutical companies that benefit from it all.

I am swimming in the emotions of all the unnecessary suffering of world designed by greed, ignorance and ego.

But we will RISE. We will HEAL. And we will find a way through this darkness.

😔🙏🏼✨
