Discover the Magic of Dance at Embody Center for the Healing Arts Dance Studio
Thursday October 1st with special guest Beatbox legend Davey !
7:00-8:30 pm
Ecstatic Dance is a free-form movement journey where the music is our teacher. It aims to provide a safe space for a contemplative, freestyle dance that supports individual expression, physical and emotional well being, and community - in a spirit of sacredness and mutual respect.
Most often the music offered is created from DJ Yamuna (Brietta)!
Brietta sets you up with a personal tool or a movement inquiry that can inspire the musical journey. She is sourcing from her years of studying and leading Conscious Dance through the Soul Motion tradition, which began for her in 2001. Take a trip around the world with these global vibes, that inspire all the different aspects of you to be expressed.

6-Week Series • $80
As the pace of summer gives way to the quieter rhythms of autumn, this six-week series offers an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with yourself. Through gentle movement, mantra, conscious breathing, meditation, and Yoga Nidra, we'll cultivate simple practices that support nervous system regulation, resilience, and everyday well-being. Whether you're new to yoga or simply longing for a slower, more restorative practice, this welcoming series provides a compassionate space to release tension, restore balance, and remember the wisdom you already carry
RED TENT
The Red Tent is a sacred sanctuary to honor life's rhythms through song, story, and sisterhood. Here, we cradle each other's joys, sorrows, and deepest dreams. We hold ceremony for each other in Blessingways, Menarche, Changing Woman, and celebrating milestones and newfound wisdom. All are welcome, women and girls of every age, babes in arms, and boys up to 7 years old are embraced as a part of our reverent gathering.
With over 20 years of holding ceremonial space, I weave shamanic wisdom (learned from teachers like Ann Drucker, Chris Davidson, Claudia Rosewolf, and Beatrice Waight-Torres) with grounded, earth-centered healing traditions. This lineage informs the Red Tent’s sacred container, where women reconnect with their inner truth and the collective power of the circle.

✨ Guided meditation
💛 Gentle breath awareness
🌿 Reiki healing
🤲 Optional partner or group healing experiences
😴 Deep relaxation
🌸 Quiet reflection and community connection
Whether you're completely new to Reiki or have experienced its benefits before, this circle welcomes everyone. No previous experience is needed, and there is nothing you need to "do"— simply come, relax, and receive. Practitioners wishing to offer Reiki and those wanting to receive are welcome.
Leave feeling lighter, grounded, and deeply nourished. All are welcome.

‘Roots’ is going deeper this season!
A root that is rigid is not actually stable-it’s just braced. Real grounding has give in it. It can feel. The rose blooms when her roots are nourished and symbolizes beauty, worth and desire within our feeling body. These qualities come on line when we inhabit our sacral energy center, which aligns with the planet Venus.
This October, Venus the planet of love, worth and desire turns retrograde for six weeks, moving through the underworld of Scorpio before settling into the harmony of Libra. I am merging this rare cosmic window with Roots, which is a container for stabilizing your foundation of: finances/career, relationships, home sanctuary, and self-care.
Each week combines movement, shamanic energy work and ritual practice designed to work with the astrology of the moment and in tandem with ‘Roots’.
This is led by Brietta Leader creator of WildCore™ Movement, Shamanic Practitioner, LMT, author of WildCore: 12 Keys to Unlock Your Untamed Expression and owner of Embody Studio.
And can be taken for personal growth without being enrolled in the teacher training.

Thriving Through Perimenopause
A 6-week Group Program with Acupuncturist Bree Manninen.
November 9th -15 the 2026
Join Us for a Transformative Journey at Breitenbush Hot Springs Retreat Center in Oregon.
You’re Invited to the Creative Empowerment Retreat
Are you craving a deeper connection to your evolving, authentic self?
Can you envision moving through life with strength, grace, and grounded confidence?
Join us for a transformative journey where you’ll build stability in your body, awaken your inner fire, and remember what it means to be fully alive. Through dance, ceremony, and yoga, we’ll receive a creative transmission of the elements—earth, water, fire, air, and space—guiding us into embodied expression and soulful alignment.
This retreat is a call to all men and women ready to ignite their power, awaken their truth, and move with purpose.
Come home to your body. Come home to your essence.
Over the course of 6 transformative days, we will explore each of the 5 Elements: Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Space. Each day will focus on the unique energy and qualities of one element through conscious dance, playful yoga, fascial movement principles, breathwork and ceremony. When we learn to balance our elements, we can enhance our physical and energetic bodies. This creates a harmonious connection to our chakra system and super-charges our whole life. The elemental map that guides this retreat leads you to a treasure chest filled with the light of your own inner healer and somatic wisdom.
This Fall, we invite you to the Breitenbush Retreat Center for an immersive experience that will awaken your creativity, embodiment, and connection to the sacred wild feminine.
Evolving through Soma, the body~
Our bodies have an amazing messaging system that we hear through sensations, intuition and instinct. In our modern society we can lose the ability to listen to these subtleties until something catastrophic forces us to wake up. Many of us have had no real training in understanding what the body is communicating or what to do to make it all better. Women's Alchemy for Soulful Wellness is a gateway to understanding your body and reclaiming your power.
I am finishing up my 6 weeks personalized package with Brietta and I feel truly blessed by the tools and healing that has been added to my life and specifically my soul in the time we have spent together. It’s been a phenomenal experience and one I would highly recommend. In fact I plan to bless my daughter with a package as soon as I’m able. If your looking for a Real Life Goddess to help guide your ways AND receive the BEST massages I have EVER experienced then Brietta’s the one! Women’s Alchemy for Soulful Wellness is a package everyone should try for themselves. It’s really a special time of individualized and tailored goodness!!! ~CareyAnn
