What we’re about
This is a deep and playful space to explore areas of self-exploration and growth such as purpose, creativity, mindfulness, relationships, and tapping into our WILD, true nature. Think of The Wild Within as a playground to explore your true essence and expand your sense of meaning and purpose, and authentic connection with others and yourself!
This group is for those who are ready to play full out with an open heart, explore and unleash ALL the sides of themselves, those who are passionate about personal growth, spiritual exploration, and conscious living. It's for those who want to unlock parts of themselves they may not have explored yet – and do it in a TRIBE of others seeking to live as deeply and fully as possible.
Types of events we will explore in this group:
🧘♀️ Yoga classes
🌬️ Breathwork journeys
🧠 Mindfulness workshops
🎨 Creative sessions
🔥 Purpose exploration
☕️ Cacao ceremonies
🌿 Plant and earth medicine
🫶 Authentic Relating
🌖 Moon circles
A bit about me: I am a somatic coach and facilitator, breathwork therapist, psychedelic integration guide, and retreat leader. My journey has taken me from the Northwest to Thailand, Bali, India and Peru (where I have a partial home base) - and it is my biggest joy and passion to co-create an enlivening spiritual community here in Portland!

See all- New Moon Cacao & Transformational Breathwork CeremonyThe Way Home Studio, Portland, OR
The New Moon is a potent time for gathering and reflection as we end one cycle and prepare for new beginnings in the next. This month's New Moon in Virgo is all about returning home to ourselves - cultivating the deep inner connection and foundation that supports us in our flourishing.
Our New Moon Ceremony will weave the medicines of cacao, expressive arts, and transformational breathwork as we weave an evening of inner nourishment, authentic connection, creative exploration and tending the fire of our home within.
☕️ Cacao is a medicine of the heart who shows us how to open more deeply to our authentic selves. We will work with the cacao through intention-setting, partner and group connection, and guided meditation, and then explore some guided pranayama practices to release physical and energetic blockages in preparation for our transformational breathwork journey.
🎨 Expressive Arts practice are a playful and creative way to explore our inner world, reflect on and express emotions, and uncover intentions we are holding for our lives.
🌬️ Transformational Breathwork helps us to deepen our inner connection, improve our physical vitality, elevate mental and emotional clarity, and awaken our spiritual connection. It works by helping you to bypass the conscious mind and move into the subtle body to access the deeper layers of emotion, while gently supporting the nervous system.
A breathwork journey is a highly effective way to move stuck energy and tap into a deeply intuitive state while remaining grounded in the body!
During our breathwork journey, you will lay down on your mat and be gently guided into a rhythmic breathing pattern supported by the music and my voice helping you to travel deeply into your body, allowing the breath to create space for release and renewal.
For many, the breath utilized in this way can help to release stored emotional energy that has been keeping them blocked and stagnated for years. And for many others, it is a portal to their innate wisdom and medicine within, an activation of their true essence and gifts.
Our journey will conclude with a group integration, with time for journaling and sharing insights and further support for one another.
Together we will co-create a playful and insightful experience of somatic release, heart-centered expression, and tending and nourishing your
