Exploring The Depths
Hello friends, I hope this note finds you well. It’s hard to believe how quickly summer has
passed—at once it feels as though it’s flown by in a blink, and yet spring already seems so
long ago. Earlier in the season, I visited Neptune’s Caves near Alghero, Sardinia, on the
west coast of this ancient Mediterranean island. In the photos below, if you zoom in
closely, you can spot the long staircase carved into the cliffs, winding all the way down to
the cave entrance. There’s also boat access, with guides leading visitors through.
Experiences like this remind me that exploring the deeper layers of ourselves can take
many forms. Sometimes we find our own path, and other times it helps to have someone
with experience guide the way. This is the spirit I bring into my work in yoga, sound, and
somatic practice.
🍂 Fall Courses Coming Soon
I’m happy to share that our fall courses are set and open for registration. Each offering is designed to support connection, learning, and renewal as we move into the new season.

🪘 Building Community Through Drumming
Many of you know my husband Ron from our sound baths. This fall, Ron is offering community drumming classes at Hastings Community Centre—a chance to connect through rhythm and shared sound.
Mindfulness drumming is a simple way to calm the mind, remove stress and heal. Participating in a drum circle is known to improve mood, create connection with community and a feeling of well being. If you have always wanted to learn to play a drum or have some experience and want to brush up on your technique, this class is for you.
