Discover the Magic of Dance at Embody Center for the Healing Arts Dance Studio
Thursday September 3rd
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.

Yoga-Psyche-Soul:
A Four-Day Immersion
This 36-hour CEU training immerses participants in the teachings and practices of yoga psychology inspired by the 12 Goddesses of Yoga. Teacher training participants receive 72-hours credit when home practice is documented and completed.
Yoga-Psyche-Soul can be a stand alone personal growth journey, or can be applied as hours to your 300hr Soma Flow Yoga teacher training!
This training will use the 12 Goddesses of Yoga as divine archetypes, embodiment guides and portals for breath work, mantra, mudra, movement and reflection.
Each of these powerful goddess represents unique qualities and attributes that can deepen your understanding of self and enhance our yoga practice and teaching skill. The archetypes of the goddesses provide pathways to explore the divine wisdom within yourself. Understanding these deities will enable you to embody their qualities, fostering personal growth and empowerment.
Make your yoga teaching & practice deeper with applied techniques to awaken awareness, knowledge and embodiment of yoga psychology.
The practices used in this immersion are powerful and deep, steeped in the Sri Vidya Tantra lineage of pranayama and meditation, functional movement based hatha yoga, flowing transitions that give space for somatic embodiment & reflective journaling. Participants will be given reflection & connection time to process their own journey with each goddess, and contemplate how they can use her energy for sequencing, class themes, and in private sessions.
There are 36 direct contact hours (for CEU credits) and 36 logged practice and teaching hours in this module. It is important to develop a relationship with each of the goddess archetypes within your own space and allow that quality to steep, so that participants can channel their own voices as teachers.

Yoga Psyche Soul Temple
A Twelve-Month Mystery School of Embodied Yoga
Runs monthly, starting Friday Sep 25th, 6-8:30pm
Transformation doesn't happen all at once. It grows, blooms and fruits with time.
The Yoga Psyche Soul Temple is an invitation to spend a full year exploring the wisdom of the twelve goddess archetypes—not as mythology to study, but as living energies that shape our lives.
For centuries, yoga has been understood as a path of awakening—a way of remembering our wholeness through body, mind, heart, and spirit. Yet in today's world, yoga is often reduced to physical postures, leaving many practitioners longing for something deeper.
Yoga Psyche Soul is an invitation to return to yoga as a complete path of transformation.
Each month we gather in person (or jump in with zoom if you are not local) for an immersive retreat-style experience in beautiful Sandpoint, Idaho. If you are new to these practices: WELCOME!
If you have traveled through a yoga teacher training before:
WELCOME HOME!
This is where we can stay connected, stay in studentship, and refine our leadership.
Join us for the first one on Saturday September 26th
2:00-4:00 pm
(Suggested Exchange: $15–25 drop-in)
Take a pause from the busyness of life and give yourself the gift of deep rest. Join Erika Indrani Hawley, Reiki Master/Teacher and Friends for a peaceful afternoon of guided meditation, gentle breath awareness, and Reiki healing exchange in a supportive community setting.
Each gathering is designed to help calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and create space for healing on every level—physical, emotional, mental, and energetic. You'll enjoy a nurturing combination of:
✨ 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.

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!
