Soma Ranch News

Howdy!

Helen and Joe are enjoying Soma (and Texas weather) at its best. We have had an exciting week with our new hot tub cover arriving and 4 fishes made their debut after being put in the pond 2 years ago!

Natasha is teaching both the 8:45am 5 Stages and 10am Movement class in the morning (Saturday). She is providing a fabulous “Double Scoop” with the 5 stages lesson Psoas and Sound, followed by her version of the Nia Experience Vibe.

We are enjoying our March journey with the Rebel archetype, and in addition to our before-and-after class conversations about this concept, we go on a more in-depth “deep dive” during our monthly community connection session. Helen’s niece Nina also provides fabulous Mr. Men stories that highlight the personality traits of our monthly archetype.

We are thrilled to feature special guest teacher Christina Mae Wolf at the end of this month. And, if you have been wanting to experience a somatic movement weekend retreat at Soma Ranch, save the dates: June 12 - 14, 2026. More information to follow, hopefully by next Friday.

Be well, with love from

Helen, Joe, the team and all the fond 4 legged friends at Soma.

This morning Helen Terry is guiding 2 movement experiences online via zoom and 24HR replay. Here's what she shared about her process and preparation....

I am enjoying my process (this year, this month, this morning) developing a movement program I am calling Soma Faith Movement.

I am bringing many different "branches" of my education, trainings and intuition into how I create these experiences, including Exercise Physiology, EFT tapping, guided meditation, somatic movement, voice dialogue, prayer, Hero Archetypes, Shadow Work, Authentic Movement and Breathwork.

This month our focus is the Rebel Hero Archetype, This morning I am guiding a Meditation/EFT Tapping/Soma 5 stages experience, followed by a Somatic Movement Dance... I wrap all experiences with prayer, and this year I am giving myself the "extra bonus challenge" of finding ways for my experiences, words, prayers and guidance to be friendly for folks of all faiths, while sustaining my personal love for Jesus! ....

Here's some of my notes for this morning's classes:

The Rebel archetype
-Honors “Jesus flipping tables” energy without aggression
-Encourages movement that pushes, resists, pauses, and reclaims space

Supports themes of:
-Saying no so a deeper yes can emerge
-Breaking inherited patterns
-Choosing integrity over approval

Lyrics allow interpretation as:
-Faithful obedience
-Inner liberation
-Justice-oriented courage
-Personal truth

“Time” is one of the the most sexy & personal experiences I’ve ever created. The lyrics are very moving, romantic and surprisingly relevant to today. This experience “Time” was created 30 years ago when my daughter, Liliana, was a baby.

The Story
I can picture Liliana in my little 2 seater 1993 Honda Del Sol car, in the passenger seat, in her car seat, looking up at me! She was less than a year old.. I used to click my fingers to stop Liliana from crying. It was one of my funniest, handy little tricks, used to distract my daughter. I could craftily shift her from tears to fascination with the simple click of my fingers!

One time, driving to class, with the Lionel Richie “Time” CD playing. A few clicks stopped my screaming crying child. Liliana began to play with her fingers, mushing them together to see if she could click them like her Mommy… And there, in the moment, Liliana clicked her fingers for the first time. I remember hearing the noise, looking down, seeing her beaming face, her eyes sparkling with joy, feeling joy as she communicated so clearly “look! yes! I did it! I clicked my fingers for the first time!”

I may have forgotten (or missed) my daughters first steps, first food, first many, and yet THIS is a most remarkable & memorable moment in time, something I feel I’ll remember forever.

On arriving at the Houston YMCA, Joe and I did our usual “Tuesday night relay takeover” where he’d get off work, wait in the Y parking lot to pick up Liliana as I dashed into teach class.

I put on the CD (yes 30 years ago we played CDs for class!) and began improvising “teaching on the fly” ~ teaching and creating the moves to music as I went along. In the first song I began in a closed stance (toes together and a little space between the heals) and began clicking my fingers from side to side. The movement was an instant match to the music, an “accidental” synchronistic, magical click. My moment in the car with Liliana flashed before my eyes, I felt light and a warm glow through out my body let me know YES! this is the beginning of something fabulous.

The Music movement clicks
Whenever possible I create movement experiences to follow the order of the tracks on the CD. Great to honor the artist and the order they choice for their collection of songs. The “Time” Class playlist is an exception. Songs click better slightly shuffled. The addition of Light a Candle is the perfect ending to the experience.

Every song from the CD is utilized with the exception of “I hear your voice”. This song comes highly recommended for when you want a good cry over someone you miss. Other than that it simply feels too depressing for our heart warming, love story, class experience!

Each song is both unique and very meaningful. They provide music movement clicks that guide me to a personal story. For example “To The Rhythm” includes “I don’t understand what’s going on in the world around me” this song was written 30 years ago, and yet it’s ridiculously relevant for today as it mentions “Recreating the same failures, Violence, Abuse, Murder, Injustice…….” “seems we are making the same mistakes over and over again and I don’t know why!” we go on and on!!

The classic song Lady (which out of the whole album you most likely will know) can be received as a beautiful love story, I imagine the words to be my body sharing a poem about it’s relationship with me…. A funny play with words and yet so true.

“Time” is one of the the most sexy & personal experiences I’ve ever created. The lyrics are very moving, romantic and surprisingly relevant to today. This experience “Time” was created 30 years ago when my daughter, Liliana, was a baby.

An Embodied Movement Meditation experience

Archetypal Essence:
Human • Relational • Grounded • Real • Belonging

Meet Your Inner Everyman:
What does to truly belong feel like? not because of what we achieve, but simply because we are human?

In this guided Soma Faith movement experience, we explore the archetype of Everyman, the part of us that knows we are not separate from life, but deeply connected to the shared story of humanity.

Through a gentle, body-based journey across the five developmental stages of movement (embryonic, creeping, crawling, standing, and walking) participants are guided into an embodied experience of belonging. Not as an idea, but as something felt in the muscles, breath, and rhythm of the body.

This practice invites you to:

Rest in the truth that you already belong

Reconnect with shared humanity through movement

Experience dignity without striving or comparison

Walk forward grounded in humility and connection

Rooted in interfaith contemplative practice and developmental embodiment, this session offers a spacious, compassionate environment where participants move slowly, listen deeply, and rediscover the sacred ordinariness of being human.

This is not about becoming exceptional.
It is about remembering you are part of something shared.

Come as you are.
Move as you are able.
Leave with a deeper sense of connection: to yourself, to others, and to the living world around you.

This Saturday, 2/14/2026 Helen Terry provides 60 minute 5 Soma Stages experience with the focus “The EveryMan” An Embodied Movement Meditation experience Through 5 Somatic stages of Development 5 Somatic Stages of Development: Embryonic • Creeping • Crawling • Crouching • Walking Archety...

Our February Focus is for the person inside of us who feels behind, tired of striving, or longing for grounded, embodied movement and spirituality.

You are not behind.
You are becoming.

Join us this month as we honor slow growth, embodied faith, and the sacred dignity of ordinary life.

2. The Everyman (Regular Guy/Gal) “The human”
Core desire: Belonging, connection
Strengths: Empathy, humility, groundedness
Shadow: Losing identity, seeking approval too much
Soma Faith reframing: Embodying “We are one Body” while keeping personal integrity.

“You are not behind. You are becoming.”
“You don’t have to be extraordinary to be meaningful.”
“You can only rise from the ground”

Let’s explore something quietly radical: ordinary life is holy.
February Soma Hero Journey: Honoring Ordinary Life and Celebrating being human.

This month we’re moving with the archetype of The Ordinary Man: the part of us that grows slowly, learns through repetition, and keeps showing up imperfectly.

After beginning the year with The Innocent (belonging and trust), February grounds us in what comes next: the sacred work of becoming human.

This is not symbolic only. It’s somatic.
We’ll let the body teach what words alone cannot:

You cannot skip stages.
You cannot rise without the ground.
You cannot walk without wobbling.
And nothing about that is failure.

The Ordinary Man archetype reminds us:

You don’t have to be extraordinary to be meaningful.
Your ordinary life is the exact place growth happens.

Fondly called “Flounce” this somatic experience begins and ends with the same song. A fun and novel way to deliver an embodied class (end as we began yet sense the different). Notice how you feel in the song at the beginning of the experience, then notice how you feel at the end with the same song. Self Healing can be defined as any thing that feels better. If you notice anything feels better, recognize this as self healing and give body gratitude.
