Summer Solstice Dance: An Embodied Celebration
Join us for a special Summer Solstice gathering of movement, music, and community—celebrating the longest day of the year.This is the first of a new series at the studio. Beginning in July, a monthly Full Moon Dance will be offered as an ongoing invitation into embodied practice and conscious community gathering.If you are seeking a deeper, more intentional space to move—rooted in presence, somatic awareness, and relational connection—this invitation is for you.
The Container & The Journey
This 90-minute intentional container invites you into embodied presence through free-form, conscious dance, connecting body, heart, soul, earth, and the interconnection of all life.
The Arrival: Gentle music will guide a warm-up to help you land fully in your body, arriving into space, gravity, and embodied presence. You will be offered simple somatic prompts and creative movement invitations during the first 15–20 minutes to seed inspiration and support deeper embodiment.
The Movement Voyage: An hour-long free-form movement journey unfolds through multi-genre music, weaving a range of dynamics, textures, energies, and atmospheres—moving through depths and heights, from core to expansiveness. The arc of the journey is informed by Soul Motion, a relational, improvisational movement practice rooted in awareness and embodied presence. We move from the inside out, in relationship with space, music, and one another.
The Integration: We close with a grounding circle to integrate the experience, share, and honor the collective space we have created together.
All bodies are welcome. No prior dance experience is needed—just bring your curiosity, comfortable clothing, and an open heart.*Join us for a Summer Solstice Community Potluck from 5:00–7:00 PM before the dance. More details HERE.

Heart Awakening | Breathwork and Cacao Journey with Carolina
Feel lighter, more open, and deeply connected to your truth.
The Heart Awakening Journey is a guided, in-person experience designed to help you gently open, release, and reconnect with yourself.
Through ceremonial cacao and guided breathwork, you’ll be supported in moving stagnant energy, releasing emotional blocks, and returning to your inner wisdom.
We’ll begin by grounding into the space, connecting with one another, and setting personal intentions before moving into a cacao ritual.
Together, we’ll prepare ceremonial cacao and honor this beautiful plant medicine. As we sip, you’ll be guided into presence and invited to open your heart. Through prayer, intention, music, and gentle movement, we’ll honor the spirit of cacao and create space for deeper connection.
This is a space to connect with yourself, the group, and the spirit of cacao; inviting openness, clarity, and receptivity.
From there, we’ll transition into a guided breathwork journey: three rounds of conscious breathing designed to help you release heavy emotions, gain clarity, and reconnect with your inner wisdom.
You’ll leave feeling lighter, open-hearted, and deeply connected; to yourself, your truth, and the community around you.
This is an intimate and supportive space for anyone on a spiritual path who feels called to slow down, soften, and return to themselves. Spaces are limited, so we encourage you to register in advance.

ABOUT Carolina
Carolina Nella is a certified Breathwork and Cacao Facilitator, trained in Lake Atitlán, Guatemala, and Peru. She has been practicing breathwork for over five years after falling in love with its ability to unlock deep emotional healing and spiritual connection.
Her love for breathwork led her to an immersive “Transformational Breathwork & Sacred Space Holding” training in Guatemala, where she learned not only to guide conscious breathwork journeys but also to create grounded, nurturing spaces for deep inner work.
Her time in Guatemala deeply influenced her approach, weaving in earth-honoring rituals, cacao ceremony, and the ancestral wisdom of the land.
Her connection to ceremonial cacao began in 2024 during a visit to a cacao forest in Guatemala, where she first experienced its heart-opening medicine and its ability to cultivate presence, emotional openness, and deeper connection. This experience inspired her to continue studying cacao through both a three-month virtual training and an eight-day immersive training in the cacao forests of Peru, deepening both her personal relationship with the medicine and her approach to facilitating cacao circles in a grounded, respectful, and intentional way.
Today, she weaves breathwork and cacao into embodied experiences that support people in softening into the body, reconnecting with inner truth, and returning to a felt sense of presence.
Harmonic Reset: Sound Journey with David Kennet
Join David Kennet for an immersive evening designed to recalibrate the nervous system and awaken the deep intelligence of sound within. This Harmonic Reset is a sound meditation intended to carry you beyond thought and into the architecture of your own healing.
Through a live soundscape blending overtones, sacred intervals, and intentional frequencies, David creates a field of deep coherence. In this space, what has been stored such as grief, tension, or memory may rise, not to overwhelm, but to be heard, held, and harmonized. Silence then follows as a gentle integration, allowing the body and spirit to reset.
You will emerge renewed, centered, spacious, and attuned to a deeper harmony within.

Blue Moon Crystal Sound Healing — Inner Cellular Reset
Join Seshen for an evening of deep nourishment through the healing power of sound, vibration, and presence.
This May, we gather under the rare Blue Moon—the second full moon of the month—a time often associated with heightened illumination and completion. In this potent window, we turn inward to connect with the subtle intelligence of the body and the living field within our cells.
Through sound and resonance, we invite a gentle re-harmonizing of the body’s inner landscape—supporting clarity, balance, and renewal.
Seshen weaves together the pure tones of clear quartz crystal singing bowls, pyramids, harp, and voice—intuitively composing in real time, guided by the subtle energy of the space and the group. Each soundscape becomes a living transmission, unfolding moment by moment.
We begin with a gentle guided meditation to support arrival into the body and present-moment awareness. From here, you will be immersed in a 50-minute sound journey, allowing vibration to move through the physical and energetic body without effort or direction. The evening closes with a grounding integration to support embodiment and integration.
Within this immersive field, sound, intention, and vibration meet the fluid intelligence of the body. Layers of tension may unwind, perception may soften, and a deeper sense of inner alignment can emerge naturally. In this space of resonance, the nervous system is invited to soften, the body to reorganize, and awareness to settle into a more spacious state of coherence.
ABOUT SESHEN
Based in Ojai and originally from Japan, Seshen has been facilitating intentional sound healing rituals since 2016. She weaves together her expertise as a somatic therapist and her artistry as a vocalist and improviser—supported by a Master’s degree in music and improvisation—to create immersive sound experiences.
