Solstice Soundbath & Cacao
Sunday 12/21 | 2-4 PM
With the Winter Solstice and a new year right around the corner, this is the perfect moment to slow down, check in with yourself, and set some honest intentions.
We’ll kick things off with a cacao circle and guided journaling to help you reflect on the past year — what you’re proud of, what you’re done carrying, and what you want to step into next. Nothing complicated, just real clarity and grounding before the year closes out.
Then you’ll settle in for a full soundbath led by Matt & Krystina. Krystina’s ethereal voice and soothing bowls create a celestial soundscape that melts tension and opens the heart, while Matthew’s mastery of live looping layers flute melodies, earthy percussion, and ambient guitar to weave a sonic experience that feels both grounding and transcendent. Every note is created live, building moment by moment into a tapestry of vibration, rhythm, and resonance designed to calm the nervous system and reconnect you to your inner stillness.
If you’ve been craving a moment to breathe, regroup, and get centered before the holiday chaos and new-year pressure hits, this is it.
We’ll have mats, eye covers & props at the studio but make sure to bring any extra cozy gear like blankets, pillows and your warmest socks!
Spots are limited & the last two SOLD OUT so make sure to save your spot now!
Biodanza: The Dance of Life + The Poetry of Human
Encounter
New Year’s Edition | Friday
1/2 at 7pm
Start the new year the way it’s meant to be lived — in your body, in connection, and in celebration. This New Year’s Biodanza gathering is an invitation to shake off the old, welcome what’s emerging, and step into 2026 with movement, presence, and shared humanity. No resolutions required — just show up as you are and let the dance do the rest.
Join us for an evening of movement, music, community, and heartfelt, intentional connection. Our “vivencia” (from the Spanish word vivir, meaning “to live”) will include a series of artfully guided dances and encounters designed to evoke core emotion and authentic expression. Together we will move, play, explore, and celebrate our collective aliveness. Come cast off the shackles of inhibition and swirl into the embrace of pure, unfiltered existence.
What is Biodanza?
The word “Biodanza” literally translates, from Spanish, to mean “The Dance of Life.” Founded in the 1960s by Chilean anthropologist and psychologist Rolando Toro, it is an elegant system of somatic and relational self-development that combines dance, music, archetypal gestures, and intentional connection to stimulate five lines of life force: vitality, sexuality, creativity, affectivity, and transcendence. It fosters reconnection with our vital instincts, our emotions, our bodies, and our in-the-flesh relationship with each other as dynamic, feeling human beings. Sometimes referred to as “The Poetry of Human Encounter,” it is truly a masterclass in embodied love.

If you’ve loved our open Biodanza workshops, this 6-week series is where the real transformation happens!
While drop-ins give you a taste of the practice, this closed series creates the consistency and safety needed to truly dive in. With the same group journeying together each week, trust deepens, movement becomes freer, and the emotional and relational growth expands with every session.
Join us for a six-week dive into the splendor of Biodanza — a progressive journey through music, movement, and connection. Commitment matters! The weekly structure allows us to deepen and grow together in vibrant, nurturing community.
Through guided movement and music, we’ll explore the power of Biodanza to (re)awaken emotion, recover instinct, promote self-expression, foster joy, invite intimacy, and cultivate affective human bonds. Whether you’re a seasoned mover or a curious beginner, this somatic journey promises a powerful experience that celebrates our shared aliveness. Come discover the magic of The Dance of Life!
