For Beginner, Aging, Active, and Athletic
Yin Yoga is a contemplative practice that targets the connective tissues of the body such as tendons, ligaments, and the deep fascia network. This practice consists of going into a pose, finding stillness, and then connecting to the breath while holding the pose for 3-4 minutes. Most poses are seated poses similar to stretching poses. This is a great practice for people with an active mind as well as an active body. If you are new to yoga this is a wonderful place to start.
A limited number of mats will be available for use.

It is danced to lively Old Time Appalachian fiddle and banjo music.
We’ll explore some basic steps like chugs, slides, the Tennessee Walking Step, and combine them into rhythmic phrases. It’s a lot of fun for folks of all ages—from kids to grandparents. Here’s a little taste of the foot-tappin’ fun! CLICK HERE

A Path to the Sacred: An Invitation to Shamanic Journeying
This is an invitation to the part of you that is curious about the mystery and magic just beneath the surface of everyday life. Whether this is your first time exploring the spirit worlds or you are a seasoned traveler, you are welcome here. We invite you to explore Shamanic Journeying—a way to connect with dimensions of reality that exist alongside our own.
What is Shamanic Journeying?
For those new to this, think of it as a form of “active dreaming.” By following the steady, rhythmic beat of a drum or rattle, we enter a natural trance state of awareness. This helps us shift our focus away from the noise of daily life so we can listen to the wisdom of the spirit realm. It is a simple, ancient practice used by people all over the world to find deeper meaning and connection.
The Gift of a Spirit Guide
In our time together, you will learn the basics of journeying and then have the opportunity to meet a compassionate helping spirit.
Meeting a spirit guide is about finding a wise and loving ally. This relationship offers a sense of partnership that reminds you that you don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. This connection helps your perspective widen and your heart soften, giving you a greater sense of purpose. As you get to know your guides, you begin to remember your own true nature, allowing your “heartlight” to shine a little more brightly in your daily life.
If there is interest, we look forward to growing this community through continued gatherings.
Beth Hopwood is a shamanic healing practitioner who facilitates workshops and individual sessions designed to connect seekers with spirit guides, allies, and ancestral wisdom. Her journey to this work followed a successful corporate career in New York City and Northern California, where she held key roles at companies including Apple and Clorox. This background provides a uniquely grounded foundation for her spiritual practice, blending leadership with an ancient healing tradition.
A deeply trained facilitator, Beth completed a three-year Practitioner Training and a two-year Spiritual Facilitator program “Ennobling of the Heart’, led by Julie Kramer. Her lineage of study includes work with Sandra Ingerman and Betsy Bergstrom who specializes in compassionate depossession. Through her workshops, Beth guides others in meeting the allies and wisdom-keepers of the spirit realm to foster healing and growth.
