    Human Design: part 1 and/or part 2 w/ Kate

    Part 1: Saturday, November 1st | 1:30-3:30 pm | $40 or $75/ both parts

    Part 2: Sunday, November 2nd| 1:30-3:30 pm | $40 or $75/ both parts

     

    Human Design is a powerful, archetypal system that blends ancient wisdom and modern science to reveal the unique energetic blueprint you were born with. Drawing from astrology, the I’Ching, the chakra system, quantum physics, and more, Human Design offers a pathway for bridging the gap between who you truly are on the inside and what you experience in your life on the outside.

    Rather than being another tool for self-improvement, Human Design invites you into a process of self-liberation—one that honors your inner truth, unwinds internalized conditioning, and supports both individual and collective thriving. This is about resonance over performance. Embodiment over striving.

     

    Each session weaves together teaching, discussion, and self-inquiry, alongside gentle meditation and somatic attunement, so you leave not just with insight, but with grounded practices for living your design.

     

    Session 1: Foundations of Your Design

    In this experiential introduction, you’ll explore the foundational elements of your chart:

    • Energy Type, Strategy, and Authority: your energetic rhythms, how you’re built to make decisions, and how you best exchange energy with others.
    • An overview of the 9 Centers: your personal powerhouses, showing where you are naturally consistent and where you’re designed to be flexible and open.

    This session can stand alone as a complete introduction. You’ll leave with practical ways to start living your design, cultivating clarity, purpose, and self-trust in everyday life.

     

    Session 2: Deepening Your Blueprint

    Building on Session 1, we’ll dive further into the richness of your design:

    • Profile: the archetypal role you’re here to play in the world and the life themes you naturally embody.
    • The 9 Centers in more depth: how they shape your patterns of thought, feeling, and interaction.
    • Definition, Gates, and Channels (overview): the threads that bring nuance and individuality to your chart.
    • Mini-Chart Readings: time for direct application and embodied exploration with participant charts.

    This continuation offers deeper insight and integration, helping you recognize how your design shows up in real life and how to honor it with confidence and ease.

     

    You can attend Session 1 on its own for a strong foundation, or join both sessions for a more complete and embodied understanding of your design.

          Yoga and Acupuncture w/ Tatum

          Sunday, November 9th | 7-8:30 pm | $40 or $75/ two people

           

          Yoga and acupuncture are a match made in the chillest of heavens. Whether you’re new to acupuncture, yoga or you love them both, this is an accessible and affordable way to combine these two healing modalities at once, each month at Yess Yoga.

          This 90-minute trauma-informed yoga class will begin with a slow flow / yin yoga practice and conclude with an extended savasana needle nap. Together, the two complementary modalities will provide an opportunity for folks to relax and find balance. Tatum Fjerstad, a yoga teacher and licensed acupuncturist, will be leading the yoga and providing the acupuncture. All levels are welcome. 

          Masks are optional during yoga and required during the acupuncture portion.

          This event will be split into three parts: time to discuss the current astrology, time to lay down and breathe together, and time after the breathing to share witness. No previous breathwork experience necessary. Wear comfy clothes, bring a yoga mat, an eye covering (mats and other props are also available onsite to borrow if needed!)

            Forgive & Release: Ho’oponopono Sound Bath + Breathwork w/ Lulu Song and Kristen Wertenberge

            Sunday, November 16th | 2-3:30 pm | $40 or $75/ two people

             

            Step into a deeply healing experience where sound, breath, and intention converge. In this session, we combine the transformative vibrations of a sound bath with emotional release breathwork, guiding you to release stored tension, stress, and emotional blocks.

            The theme of Ho’oponopono, an ancient Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness, invites you to gently reconnect—with yourself, others, and the energies around you. Through intention, breath, and sound, you’ll create space to acknowledge, release, and heal what no longer serves you.

            This session is perfect for anyone who is ready to:

            • Let go of past hurts and emotional baggage

            • Restore balance in body, mind, and heart

            • Cultivate self-forgiveness and compassion

            • Experience deep relaxation and nervous system regulation

            Whether you’re new to breathwork or a seasoned practitioner, this session offers a safe, supportive space to breathe, release, and rejuvenate.

                Sound Bath w/ Michele

                Sunday, November 23rd | 7-8 pm | $20 or $40/two people

                According to yogic philosophy, liberation comes when the mind can be directed and one’s inner light takes the lead. Paying attention to the activity of our senses is one way to direct the mind, and hearing is one of the 5 primary human senses. When we become fully aware of our hearing sense, with a heart of curiosity, we can decrease the tendency of the mind to act as master.  Further, therapeutic sound has a unique ability to call forth the parasympathetic nervous response, as the ears are a seat for this part of our nervous system.  The parasympathetic nervous response brings forth the feelings and sensations of relaxation, restoration and rejuvenation. In a world that largely activates only our sympathetic nervous responses, therapeutic sound is so incredibly needed right now. Therapeutic sound can entrain the mind’s vibration into one of steadiness and directability.

                In these monthly workshops, we will start with restorative breathwork that fses on lengthening the exhale, which is another way that yogic philosophy says will mold the mind into a more redirectable form. Then we will move into relaxation within the vibrations of therapeutic sound. The instruments of gongs, crystal sound bowls, and drums will be used to create these therapeutic sounds.

                No previous experience needed. Please wear comfortable clothing. If you are prone to headaches, please bring a head covering (beanie, hat, bandana, etc). Minimum age requirement is 11 years old.
