Did you know we have regular online yoga classes throughout the year?

Hatha Yoga with Emmie is designed to dissolve tension and cultivate steadiness and ease in the body-mind. A flowing, meditative style of practice is emphasized so that breathing deepens, and constriction unwinds without force. Joint mobility, bone density, strength, and flexibility will all benefit, and class culminates in deep relaxation.

Tuesdays, 9-10:15am PT / 12-1:15pm ET. All levels welcome, sliding scale. Register on our website!

Brianna is looking forward to teaching online again starting this Friday through May 20, 9-10amPT / 12-1pmET. She guides participants through an integrative movement experience that weaves together traditional yoga postures, somatic exploration, functional strength, and restorative practices. Rooted in and inspired by Yoga, Qi Gong, Bartenieff Fundamentals, and dance, this class offers a supportive container to explore the body from the inside out.

Participants are invited to listen deeply to their inner landscape—cultivating awareness of energy, breath, skeletal structure, and muscular support—while flowing between movement inquiry and more defined shapes. Functional strengthening sequences support stability and resilience, while restorative moments invite space for integration, release, and rest.

This practice encourages a balance of effort, ease, and curiosity, supporting both vitality and nervous system regulation. All bodies and experience levels are welcome; no prior yoga or movement experience is required.

We are gently emerging from a winter reset— honoring time to restore and reflect— just in time for Imbolc ✨

Imbolc marks the halfway point between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox — a quiet threshold where the light begins its slow return. The word Imbolc is often translated as “in the belly of the Mother,” a reminder that new life is stirring beneath the surface, not yet ready to be born, but full of possibility.

One of the four Celtic Fire Festivals, Imbolc honors the Goddess Brigid — guardian of fertility and prophecy, crafts and poetry, hearth and healing. Her presence invites us to tend the inner flame, listen closely, and begin imagining what wants to take shape.

At Confluence Arts Center, we’re beginning to vision what’s possible for Season 5. We’re welcoming proposals, offerings, ideas, collaborations, and inquiries— held with the same care we bring to this season of emergence.

As we move toward spring, we’re listening for what wants to emerge in our space next. If you’re holding an idea, a practice, a performance, a curiosity, we’d love to hear from you.

We hope you’re tending to your hearts and each other with gentleness and care 💜

Big love and gratitude for everyone who joined our Winter Solstice Renewal gathering at Wild Roots Medicine on the Creek on Sunday. What a blessing to share this scared time with these beautiful souls in this very sweet space. And deep gratitude for the medicine of the creek, supporting us to surrender what’s ready to be released, and help carry our intentions forward.

Looking forward to sharing more in this space in 2026 and beyond! Thank you Kelly for stewarding this sanctuary! ❤️

Wishing you and yours delicious moments of stillness, sweetness, delight, laughter, hugs, baths, solitude, candlelit conversations, and whatever your heart and body needs to be nourished this winter and holiday season!

With love,

In the threshold time of the Winter Solstice, we pause to honor the shift into stillness —stepping into a sanctuary of deep rest and inner listening. This gathering weaves restorative yoga, somatic movement, resonant sound healing, and reflective journaling into a gentle ritual of release and renewal. In honoring the season’s slow rhythms, we welcome spaciousness, soften into the dark’s quiet teachings, and plant the first tender seeds of winter intention. Come home to your body, your breath, your becoming.

Join Brianna and Andre (Kalayaan Sound) for this afternoon of restoration and welcoming the quiet magic of winter. Arrive early to enjoy time with the creek before we settle in and cozy up!

December Greetings - https://mailchi.mp/693c761af030/december-greetings
Though the barn is now hibernating for winter, we’re excited to share a few upcoming offerings with Brianna and Kalayaan Sound in the community. Join us for two restorative Winter Solstice gatherings—one at Wild Roots Medicine on the Creek in Silverton, and one at Elk Rock Outpost in Portland. Brianna will also represent Domaine Margelle and Stone Wall Vineyards at a Winter Market this Saturday at the Outpost. Check out our newsletter or our website for details!

We had a full and inspiring Season 4 at Confluence and are deeply grateful for all the wonderful experiences shared in the barn. Thank you to everyone who joined us or contributed in any way—you are the heartbeat that keeps this space alive!

Are you in need of a little reprieve this holiday season? Andre and Brianna are in town through the month of December, and available for Thai bodywork and sound sessions from the comfort of your home. Could be a solo session of either one, or a bliss combo including both! We offer sliding scale rates, and bring deeply intuitive and intentional therapeutic care.

DM us or email info@confluenceartcenter.org to schedule. We also have gift certificates if you want to give a gift of restoration to a loved one! Available through December 31.

Season 4 at Confluence Arts Center is officially complete! We’re grateful to everyone who joined us to make this season so special. We had so many new experiences and welcomed new and familiar faces. Thank you for the magic you brought to this community and our space!

We’ll continue to share some moments and memories from the season, but you’ll see less of us here as the barn moves into hibernation. Be on the lookout for local offerings with Brianna and Andre/Kalayaan Sound in and around Silverton and Portland! Keep in touch here and sign up for our newsletter to stay up to date.

Wishing you an easeful rest of Autumn!
