Join us for an extra unique Dharma Club this Thursday with Kelly at 7:35pm. (In-person/virtual)

Living Myths: Exploring the Animate

This Dharma Club invites you into the sacred, living tradition of myth as it has been carried through yoga for generations. Through story, reflection, and embodied practice, we’ll explore how myth is not something distant or symbolic, but something alive within us.

In many yogic and Ta***ic traditions, myths of deities, spirits, and cosmic forces were passed down orally, not just to be understood, but to be felt. These stories are not separate from us. They describe the same cycles, energies, and movements that shape both the natural world and our inner lives.

Together, we’ll explore myth as a living, animate reality. Through guided storytelling and a practice of deep, whole-body listening, we’ll begin to sense how these ancient stories move through us as emotion, as energy, as imagination, and as truth.

Come open, curious, and ready to reconnect with the living world—both around you and within you.

We'd like to invite you to Sama's Yoga and Meditation Teacher Training 🤍

Laura, Lee, Kelly, and Haiyan are the main facilitators on this journey. We also have some guest teachers to support you along the way.

The training starts May 8 and goes for 10 weeks. During that time you'll dive deep into yoga exploring: yoga history, asana (movement), anatomy, meditation, pranayama, chanting and so much more.

We have a Q&A next Tuesday (4/7) at 7:30pm virtually where we can answer all of your questions. But if you have any questions in the meantime, please reach out or check our website for more details.

We're so excited to be offering this training again this year. 🤍

This Saturday is our first daylong silent retreat of 2026. We call these retreats REFUGE IN STILLNESS because you get to do just that: take refuge in slowing down for a day, unplugging from your devices, being in community, and strengthening your commitment to your practices.

Yes, you’ll be in silence, but you’ll be okay. There will be periods of meditation, yoga, talks from facilitators, and time for rest and reflection. Food and tea will be provided, and you’ll be able to step away from your phone and to-do lists for the day.

Believe it or not, two of the most common comments we hear at the end of a retreat day are “That went by so quickly!” and “I don’t want to turn my phone back on!” Find out for yourself how much can transform in a day 🌴🌴🌴🌴

Don't forget today's is Kira's workshop: Shapeshifting: Yoga & Collage

🕦 12-4pm

Learn more about it ⤵️

Yoga and making art are both meditative practices that connect the body and the mind, helping to unlock a state of “flow: and encourage self expression. The two disciplines share several foundational elements, from cultivating mindfulness to embracing creative discipline. Both practices require patience, a willingness to embrace the process over the outcome, and the ability to cultivate a state of flow/one pointed focus and open-mindedness, allowing for a deeper exploration of ‘SELF’ and the surrounding world.

In this workshop we will explore the connection between the two practices and how they can support each other. We will move through yoga asana, share in a short guided meditation to prepare the mind for our art making, and then get to the play of the creative collage portion.

Collage felt like the perfect medium for this workshop, because of its accessibility on multiple levels. It is a versatile art form with artistic, creative, and therapeutic benefits, serving as an accessible way to express oneself, explore emotions, foster resilience, and engage in mindful, hands-on creation. It involves recycling materials and combining disparate elements to build new meanings and narratives, providing a unique outlet for visual thinking and a break from screen-based activities.

Don't question your art making or yoga “abilities”, all are welcome to play & explore!
