Soaking up the gratitude as we close out the lunar new year. Thank you to all of you for stopping by for a class or workshop. It’s such an honor to share this work with you. Thank you for providing us the opportunity to contribute to your wellbeing.

We are settled into our winter schedule and hoping for some winter weather this week to go with it. The quiet calm of snow sounds soothing. In the interim, the mild season has us dreaming about the spring - so if you’ve requests for the April - June schedule send us a note. We’ll add those to our considerations.

Our pay what you wish community classes at Kirks’ return in March and we’ll continue to offer our monthly class at the library as well. It’s been such a joy to watch these offerings gently grow. 🌱

We’ve also begun planning for the year ahead which includes construction projects for both inside the studio and out on the rooftop. We sneak in a few tasks each week and have a few larger projects scheduled the end of March. We’ll share details as February fades.

Continued education these days has Mike in the kitchen cooking 3 meals a day, at the dining table reading & taking notes, and listening to lectures on Ayurvedic wellness. If he’s not at the studio, he’s studying Ayurveda. Ayurveda is a broad spectrum of medicine, but Mike has honed his knowledge toward nutrition, something he’s been passionate about for decades. Seeing him bloom into this role the past few years has been inspiring. We tend to be more practical gift givers and the gift is in each meal for me, feeling more nourished and energized across the last 6 weeks and understanding why certain foods align better with season and personal health goals. We’re arriving to the lunar new year with a sense of inner calm and clarity.

If you’ve wanted to chat with Mike more about ayurvedic nutrition and his experience, he’s offering a workshop at the end of March - I’ll share details on that later this week. Or you can chat with him after class to request a consult for individual nutrition counsel.

I hope the sunshine finds you. May you be well, may you be content, may you know peace. Onward, K.

Returning next month! Guest Aimee Carlson will be at the studio Saturday, March 14th for another new moon embodied astrology session. This 2 hour workshop is co-guided with Krista blending the elements of astrology and guided meditative rest for those seeking a fresh start, looking for tools to reduce stress, or simply wanting a dedicated space for profound rest and self-care.

10 spots available • $35
Saturday March 14th • 3-5pm
Reserve your place by heading to our website. 🔗 rainsoulstudio.com/workshops

A bit more about this offering …
Aimee blends cosmic wisdom with body wisdom, science and soul as an integrative life and leadership coach. She will be offering elemental prompts, energy alignment and future self embodiment. This workshop is also co-guided by Krista, pairing Aimee’s potent offering with yoga nidrā, a guided sleep based meditation to deepen your elemental balance through cosmic rest. Yoga Nidra promotes healing and enhances cognitive functioning. Other benefits include increased creativity, improved memory, and a super learner state of mind. This practice, which is also referred to as yogic sleep, continues to be a potent and accessible offering that can help practitioners redirect attention, step back from hyper vigilant states of being, and reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, insomnia, and more.

We’re back to our studio schedule this week, but first we need to share the audience award winner from last weekend’s film festival!

It’s usually a cold and snowy weekend, but we welcomed the sunshine and all the folks who made their way to Art House to see one of the four screenings for Kinetoscope 13. Thank YOU for showing up and sharing what your favorite film was.

I first saw Kinetoscope in Missoula, back in 2017, and was immediately intrigued by the hybrid of dance and film in short form. Now in our fourth year helping host this festival in Billings, Mike & I deeply appreciate building an audience here to discuss and share this all with. The films are incredibly different year to year, and you all contribute thoughtful conversations about what you noticed, felt, and gravitated toward - and why. This year, several folks shared notes about how the cheerfulness of TuTu Academy brought them much needed joy, or reflected on the technical aspects of filming while rappelling in Ode Maritima. The insights and interpretations on what certain films meant and observations about the selection process are what I find so meaningful about this festival. We look forward to discussing more next year, and inviting Joy back to Billings to share with us all the insights and details about the films for KFF 14 next season. But let’s get back to this year’s festival results!

Thank you once again for being part of an event I look forward to every year.
