Greetings and new year blessings to you ALL!
I have returned home after a most beautiful, life changing trip to Colombia! I say I am back, however I feel that I am mostly back on the physical plane. Emotionally, spiritually and mindfully, I am somewhere in between. Floating between there and here, floating between the end of one cycle and the beginning of the next. And it feels good. I am so grateful to be in a position to be able to move slowly for this return. Of course, there are things like getting the January schedule together before the month is over, doing laundry, answering emails, teaching my first class of the year at the Legion tomorrow, etc.. that cannot be postponed any longer. However, I am allowing myself to move slowly. Very, very slowly as I navigate what needs to be done and what can wait. Giving myself much time to process. Very, very slowly. I am bringing home much of the wisdom that was shared with me on this trip. Wisdom gained through experience, observation and exposure. And Wisdom that was shared through wise words. As I connected with the beautiful Sloths in the Amazonas, our amazing and knowledgeable guide Carlos, from Yoi Ecolodge, shared these wise words with me. I was asking how to say Sloth in Spanish. He said "Perezosos". I thought like in French, "paresseux", meaning Lazy, and said something to that effect. Carlos then explained to me that although their name "Perezosos" means "Lazy" , they aren't. They are just very slow. There is an important difference there. They aren't Lazy, they are just very SLOW! Hah.. YES! I love that. In this world of hustle and bustle, where "time is money", where so many are running non stop. Survival, scarcity, stress!!! ... Slowing down, moving slowly is sometimes perceived as being lazy. Hmmmm... But there is a difference. Thank you for pointing that out to me Carlos. Moich! And so, I allow myself a little time to move like the sloth. My upcoming classes will be inspired by Sloth. Very appropriate for this time of year and this time of in between. I invite you to give it a try. Make it your moving meditation if you can. See how slow you can go. So much magic is in the slow, the still, the pause. HERE (presence) is where the magic happens. Sending my love as I continue to unpack ALL I just experienced, will share more as I go. Sloooooooooow hugs, Sincerely, Sarah XOX

Hello again wonderful people,
I hope this message finds you making the MOST of these short days. When I say MOST, please know that I am in no way referring to production or doing a lot. I am referring to BE-ing. Being present in every moment, in every breath and every heart beat. Be-ing here, being now. As my experience of growing awareness evolves, I "catch my self" when walking one step ahead of the present. And then, I bring myself back to NOW. The present of presence is a precious gift, well worth nudging myself back for, over and over again. I breathe. I am here. Now is all there is. Truth be told, I am finding this practice increasingly challenging while I'm prepare to depart for a very exciting trip!! So I plan, pack, and I come back. I come back. Again and again, over and over.. And I dream a little too.. ;) And so, in all this, I've decided to wait till my return before presenting the January schedule. Leaving a little room for inspiration to emerge and see what the new year brings. Till then I invite you to Shadow and Light. My last studio offering before 2026. All details can be found by clicking the following link. Please reserve your spot or check in with me before 2pm Wednesday the 17th, so I know how much Cacao to prepare and so I can start heating and setting everything up in the most appropriate place for the size of the group. If you don't hear from me till my return, I wish you a most beautiful, heart filled holiday season. Sending my love always, Sarah XOX And here we are, December just around the corner. What a year it has been!
I hope this message finds you embracing whatever state you may be in. All is well here, as I explore my inner landscape in this increasingly darker period of the year. Where can I soften? How do I lean into rest with more compassion? More melting? And less resistance. Where do I push? When do I ignite the fire? How do I embrace my shadow? How do I accept ALL of me with more grace? I observe, I pause, I LISTEN I LISTEN I LISTEN ... And here you find me. Sitting at my computer, with December's schedule to share. Before we look at December, I must remind you all of a beautiful new offering I am so thrilled about!! I invite you to Spirit Talk. This will be our third one. Tomorrow's (Wednesday November 26) special guest is Sharla Bowker. If you are curious about channeling, this one's for you! We are super pumped!! Most everything on the December's schedule is self explanatory but please reach out if you have any questions. More details to come for Shadow and Light pre solstice event. So, without further ado, I present to you December's schedule. I send you my love, my curiosity to go deeper and my undying enjoyment of it ALL! Sincerely, Sarah XOX PS: Kirtan is on this Friday Hello again beautiful people, Hope this email finds you well, maybe cozying up next to a fire with a warm cup of tea in hand. Maybe getting the last of the garden chores done before heading into the more restful time of year. Enjoying the transition of the seasons. All good here after a most full and bountiful October! Such gratitude in my heart for getting to share what I am so passionate about. I give thanks every day. As I am still in transition mode, not quite done in the garden.. I will keep this short. I mostly just wanted to share the November Schedule and remind everyone about Spirit Talk this evening 7pm (October 29th). Other ways to experience what I have to share are through booking private sound medicine sessions with me or purchasing my Sound Meditation video series which is on sale this month for 22$ (instead of the regular 33$). In love and gratitude, Sincerely, Sarah XOX Explore the benefits of Sound Meditation in three one hour video sessions available for daily or weekly practice. Start with a basic OM meditation, followed by a chakra balancing meditation and finally with free style vocal toning. It's recommended to start in the order they are presented. Then pick one for regular practice for a set period of time and interval, to get the full experience. Note: Once purchased, links will be sent within 24hours to access video streaming and a downloadable audio only version. Please contact Sarah directly for any questions or further instructions. Hello and happy new moon, partial solar eclipse and equinox eve!! What a line up for this transition into Fall!
I hope this message finds you well and enjoying a bountiful harvest. I know this time of year can be a little overwhelming for some, especially if you grow food like myself. When so much harvesting, preserving and preparation for the colder rainy season needs to be done. I am also aware of a seemingly increased level of polarization in "my outer world", as I ease myself back into to scrolling on social media after my summer break. So I call in BALANCE! Balance in my own life between the lunar and the solar, the active and the passive, the giving and receiving. I call in balance to help in finding unity, in focussing on what connects us, (not on on what divides us). I call in BALANCE in our perceptions, our directions and our relations. This is a most potent time to center, unify and strive for equilibrium. Tonight's offering, which still has many spots available.. hint hint..😉, is intended to set the stage for what is so needed here. Within us and all around us. An active practice of freestyle dance followed by the passive practice of sound bathing. As this offering falls in the Sound Meditation Classe's time slot, it will be the same rate as a regular class (20$ drop in or one class off your pass). You also have the option to come for the Sound Bath only, if that is what is calling you. Please check in with me to let me know either way. Tomorrow morning's Kundalini class (Monday 9am) will continue with this same intent of BALANCE, as we get familiar with our energetic system and work with Ida and Pingala nadis. Reminder that Kirtan is on this Friday! And I'm super pleased to announce that our first Spirit Talk on September 30th will host my neighbour and sister of wellness offerings here in Heriot Bay, Danae✨ Spirit Talk at Sound Seed Yoga with special guest Danae: Hypnosis, Plant Medicine & the Path of the True Self Come settle into sacred space and join Danae Jensen—local healing guide, hypnotherapist, and tea witch—for a heartfelt evening of soulful conversation. In this casual and intimate talk, Danae will share about her spiritual path as a highly sensitive person, her connection to True Self Energy (what she calls the divine spark within us all), and how she weaves together hypnosis, plant medicine, and somatic tools to support deep emotional healing. You'll learn how Danae helps those who are ready to release unserving patterns, reconnect with their innate wisdom, and live a life of soul-aligned joy and get to engage in open dialogue about how you relate and what lights you up, too! I've included the October schedule here as well, so you can get a preview of what in store next month. It's a great time to come try out some classes here in September and decide on which pass might work best for you. Little Moon pass , Big Moon pass or Mega Moon pass! Sending my love always, in gratitude and balance, Sincerely, Sarah 🙏💕🤍🌑☀️🍂✨ Hello, hello beautiful community!
I am thrilled to be back after a most wonderful pause from social media posting and group event planning. What a full summer of focus, gardening, home improvement, ocean swiming and private bookings! It's been absolutely splendid! I'm now easing myself back into the swing of things by presenting you the September schedule, which really starts on September 21st for New Moon and Fall Equinox. This special reopening event will be priced same as a regular class, the focus will be on balance between light and dark and will include a free style dance session followed by an immersive Sacred Sound Bath. A perfect way to transition into the new season. From Fall Equinox to (just before) Winter Solstice you will find all the regular offerings like Sound Meditation on Sunday evenings (now including yoga Nidra on one Sunday per month starting October), Kundalini Yoga on Monday mornings, monthly New Moon Sound Bath, Full Moon ceremony and Kirtan on select Friday evenings. The BIG NEWS is the addition of a few offerings I am particularly excited about!! Spirit Talk, Self-led with Sacred Sound and Dance! Here are the descriptions for each: Self-led with Sacred Sound * NEW Offering! (One evening, per month starting October See monthly schedule) An open space without talking. Come, practice as your body and being calls you. Move or stay still. Listen to your inner guidance as you lead your own practice. Sacred Sound Medicine will accompany you, along with intentional moments of silence. Same pricing as regular classes. Spirit Talk 7pm (once a month, see schedule) * NEW Offering! Gather in Circle once a month for sharing what lights you up, connects you to ALL that is, your journey on your spiritual path or your experiences with the unseen. We will sometimes have special guest speakers, these gatherings are offered by donation. Freestyle Dance (once a month, see schedule) * NEW Offering! An open (sober) space to gather and dance to upbeat, conscious music. No talking on the dance floor, just your free flowing ecstatic movement! Offered by donation. Finally, before I forget, my last "pop up" offering of the summer is Kirtan on September 1st at 7 pm, as with all my events, please let me know if you plan to join, if you haven't already. I thank you all for your ongoing support, it fills my heart and floats my boat☺️ With so much love and gratitude always, Sincerely, Sarah XOX Hello beautiful beings,
May this message find you well. All going good here as I put one foot in front of the other on this path. Truth be told, I've been hearing a louder and louder call to focus in my life. A call to quiet the chatter, a call to refill my cup. And I listen. On this beautiful New Moon day I plant the seeds and set my intentions for the lunar cycles ahead. FOCUS Laser beam FOCUS Tonight's New Moon Sound Bath is my last scheduled group offering till Fall Equinox (Side note: I still have many spaces left for tonight, and it's not too late to signup..). All offerings till fall will be pop-up style or by private booking. To stay updated on popup events please reach out to be added to my FB messenger group or my cellphone text message group. Please contact me to book a private individual or group day retreat, yoga class, meditation session or sound bath. It will be my absolute pleasure to share! It's the advertising, scheduling, organizing and social media time that I am pausing for a bit, not the actual service I provide. ;) Musing On "Busy Ness", another side note. I used to say I didn't want to be busy. That busyness was overly encouraged in our society. When people would ask: "So you keeping busy?" I'd reply: "Trying not to". Then I started a business, and started questioning my anti-busyness approach. Is that really what I want to be sending out there? That I don't want busyness for my business?... And so I started embracing the term. YES to busyness I said! It's good for business!! Well... I've been rethinking that lately. Meditating upon how I can shift this, as I don't do busy well... It's a big reason for why I am drawn to the practices I share. They help me cope with the down side of "Busy". Especially busy mind... So, I'm shifting my relationship to my Busy-ness through action (like simplifying how I offer my services at least for the summer and taking a break from social media for a bit) and through the tremendous power of WORD! From now on I say Full and Plentiful instead of busy. Notice how these words shift the feeling. "I live a FULL life" vs "I live a busy life" "Summer is my PLENTIFUL season" vs "Summer is my busy season" To me FULL and PLENTIFUL evoke feelings of abundance, of enough or satiety. As opposed to BUSY evoking feelings of scarcity, laking time, running around like a chicken without a head or like a hamster on a wheel. Getting everything done as quick as possible in order to get the next thing done on the list. Maybe I'm overdramatizing BUSY, but it's not where I like to be.. So yeah, Im going with Full and Plentiful from now on. ;) And for the business part. I'm shifting my business to blissness! I'm a very proud blissness owner. I am happy to do blissness with you. And it is such an honour to share my blissness offerings with the world! On that note, I send you my love, New Moon blessings and abundance for all! In love and gratitude, Sincerely, Sarah 🙏💕🌱🤍✨ |
