Family Constellations is one of THE most profound healing modalities founded by German psycho-analyst Bert Hellinger in the 1990s. Like no other modality, the client (whom we call "the seeker") chooses other people to represent people in their lives, or illnesses, or emotions, or feelings, (and more!) and observes as the constellation unfolds for the seeker's highest and best most soul-healing catharsis. And magical miracle-y results. What is Family Constellations? Bert Hellinger founded the modality in the 1990s. He was a German psycho analyst working WITH German patients. Because they were German, they were either the descendants of the Nazis or Holocaust survivors. So either way, lots of ancestor trauma (!). He decided to go live in South Africa as a missionary. While in South Africa, he happened upon the Zulu tribes. From working WITH the Zulu tribes, he discovered that they had a way to connect WITH their ancestors through ancestor rites and rituals (unlike us in the west). He combined what he learned from the Zulu tribes WITH the likes of Karl Jung's archetypal work and came up with Family Constellations. During this Family Constellations sessions, I will: -Introduce Family Constellations -Facilitate 1-3 constellations for people who would like to be seekers -Answer any questions at the end If you're curious, there's an episode on Sex, Love, and Goop on Netflix on Family Constellations. Season 2 Episode 5. I promise though, the in-person Family Constellations session, will be better than Netflix! Saturday, July 15 10am-1pm Limited to 15 participants $88 "I've done psychoanalysis and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for 25+ years and never had such an intense and powerful experience in such a short period of time as I did WITH Kyla facilitating a Family Constellations experience. If you're looking to break through some of your old stories and truly understand what's holding you back, you need to work WITH Kyla. She is a master facilitator and brings compassion, empathy, and kindness to the experience." ~Gwen Holtan, Flexible Eating Coach   PLEASE NOTE:  All tickets are non-refundable.  Please consider gifting your ticket to a friend in the event you cannot make it.
The four pieces in this exhibit are presented as a taste of Saga Luna's upcoming larger exhibition "Initiation- 13 Tales of Transmutation". Her art is an alchemical process: through its creation Saga transmutes patterns within herself, work essential to her soul's calling. In 2016 she dove heart first into the exploration of the Divine Feminine archetypes and stepped onto the Priestess path of the13 moon Mystery School. Carly Reynolds walked into the fires of initiation and from the ashes emerged Saga Luna. Her Prima Materia is varied; mixed media pieces often drawn with fire (pyrography) that express her ongoing inquiry of self, through an archetypal lense. Her studio is her temple, where you can find Saga in her devotional practice, creating beauty, with good Juju (the family doggo and ever-faithful companion) at her feet. Artist Reception: Thursday, May 25 5:00pm - 8:00pm  
Please join in our monthly gathering for Tarot practitioners. Come meet other enthusiasts and deepen into expanding your presence when reading tarot. This salon is for both beginners and experienced readers - part of the intention of the salon is to build a community of practitioners. We welcome everyone to come together to learn deeper insights into the cards and connect in community with both sharing about your practice and doing hands-on readings at the salon. We will spend part of the time with a deep dive into subjects such as studying the basics of tarot, inquiring into the meanings of some of the more interesting archetypal cards, learning to cast protection when reading, asking for the divine to reveal itself with ritual, and others. Additionally we will share in a circle about our own practices, as well as recent readings and insights into reading tarot. At each session we will pair up and do a three card pull to add to your deepening practice. Sessions will be 90 minutes to allow for learning, sharing and reading cards. Several decks will be available to look at and play with but you are welcome and encouraged to bring a deck of your choosing. Price - $33 per session.   Facilitator: Katie Helber I have been a tarot practitioner for over thirty years and it has been the most consistent tool of self-growth and discovery I have used to guide me. It always ignites a deeper understanding of my life or an aspect that I need clarity in. I have found it provides a lens with which to see my path more clearly. I connect to the divine energy of the cards to share this insight with those that I read for. While I have read for myself for over thirty years, I have also read for friends, family and for many years my clients in the corporate world. As a global change management consultant I worked with many people looking to gain insight into complex situations. The cards often opened dialogues that made us think and re-strategize on how to best accomplish our outcomes. I love the space of inquiry and insight. It is a space of great growth and joy. I am also a mom to two budding adults who amaze me. And I have lived in the East Bay for over 25 years with my husband and loving dogs. I also take photos of the sunrise when I can, paint watercolors and generally do what brings me joy.   PLEASE NOTE:  All tickets are non-refundable.  Please consider gifting your ticket to a friend in the event you cannot make it.

Happy Hump Day! (We're starting slightly later for all those who are dropping kids off for late start and finishing a little earlier so you can get on with your day! )
This 4/20 we are exploring all things related to the miraculous healing capabilities of the hemp plant. You have undoubtedly heard many things about CBD in recent years, seen many products claiming this and that and may have even tried a few topicals, ingestables or intradermals (aka bath bombs!). After meeting Ali, owner and creative force behind Green Alley, I was amazed to discover just how little I acutally understood the full force of the hemp plant. It's been nearly six months since I started the CBD/CBN sleep tincture and WOW, after years of insomnia and big pharma meds, I am thrilled to report my sleep issues are a thing of the past. This is a wonderful opportunity to sample, smell, explore and discover a cleaner, smarter way to heal. We will explore the following topics: What is CBD THC, marijuana and hemp? Is it really healthy? Is a gummy the best form to take? What are the pitfalls? Sample different forms of CBD hemp About Ali Stoddard:  Ali has 25 years of experience in orthopedics, back surgery, oncology, pain management, nutrition and holistic healing with superfoods like hemp.  She believes that we are not managing symptoms and disease, but finding the root cause and healing. Consultations include a full medical and health history, customized reports and coaching on: How to reduce inflammation How to detox How to reset your metabolism and insulin resistance How to reset your health Long Covid concerns/symptoms Visit her online store for more information, GreenAlleyCBD.com

About the Triple Goddess: The triple goddess archetype is essential for any woman to understand and contemplate as we move through the various cycles of our own lives. The rhythms of nature and the rhythms of women are deeply connected.  Cultivating a deeper understanding of these cycles and archetypes can assist us along our way. Your journey, your sacred feminine healing, is not a straight line. Come sit in circle with us as we explore the Maiden, Mother and Crone archetypes. Through the telling and sharing of our personal and collective stories, we discover and remember ways in which we are more alike than different.  Through the simple act of witnessing, we develop and cultivate compassion and empathy for one another.  This reminds us that we are all one, we are all connected and we are all goddesses.  Hope to see your beautiful faces there as we honor and connect with our global community in the celebration of all women.

Shedding the layers. Flowing Through Grief. Preparing for Winter. In Chinese Medicine, this season governs organization, setting limits and protecting boundaries – moving from the external, expansive ‘Yang’ nature of Summer to the internal, contractive nature of Fall. The Autumn organs are the lungs and colon, and the emotion is grief. We will address each of these aspects through a sequence specifically designed to recognize, access and move this energy. You will leave with a greater sense of clarity on the importance of recognizing and shedding layers and expanding your ‘window of tolerance’ through self awareness and compassion, as well as tools and resources for optimizing flow and self regulation. When: November 13th. 3:30-6pm What: The class will consist of a brief opening circle, approximately 45 minutes of ecstatic breathwork (with first half devoted to theory/instruction) followed by 75 minutes of deeply integrative and relaxing restorative/yin crafted and woven through our fall season lens. There will be another brief closing circle for integration, questions and sharing. Where: Goddess Gatherings. Lafayette, CA. Cost: $65
