Cacao Meditation with Ryan DeLuca

🗓️monthly
⌚️9:00 - 10:30am
📍1324 Lake Dr, Suite 4, Eastown

Our heart is often seen as the seat of intuition — the place within where we can listen deeply and remember who we truly are.

Join us for a morning of connection and embodiment as you enjoy a cup of ceremonial cacao, lovingly hand-crafted by Somatic Wisdom Institute lead teacher, Ryan DeLuca. Ryan will guide you through a gentle breath and embodiment practice to quiet the mind and soothe the nervous system, followed by a guided meditation into your heart space — an invitation to reconnect with yourself and your life.

This heart-centered class is offered monthly in our Eastown studio.

⛓️‍💥For most of human history, people gathered in circle to speak, listen, and make meaning collectively. Most of us were never taught how to be in honest, embodied relationship — with ourselves or with others. We learned how to perform, adapt, protect, or disappear in order to belong.

🌀Wisdom Circle draws from these ancient ways of gathering as a place to practice something different.

🪶Through somatic awareness, authentic relating, and the ancient practice of circle, you’ll learn to trust your body as a source of truth, speak what is real without losing connection, and experience what it feels like to be seen and witnessed in community.

🔥Over time, this structure allows you to build trust in your body, your voice, and your capacity to be in honest relationship with others — one conversation at a time.

✨Community Kirtan at SWI✨

September 9
October 28
7:00  - 8:30pm
Somatic Wisdom Institute

Come as you are and join Prem, Kristin, Jeff and Susanne for an evening of heart-opening Kirtan — meditative practice of chanting and community connection.

We’ll share sacred chants from a variety of traditions, including Buddhist and Sikh lineages, in a welcoming and inclusive space. Many of the chants are call-and-response and all are easy to follow — no experience needed, just your voice and your presence.

Bring your open heart, your curiosity, and your voice.

Let’s co-create an atmosphere of peace, joy, and connection.

This event is free and open to all.

Donations are welcome and will go towards Somatic Wisdom’s Foundation which gives access to workshops, trainings and more to people that cannot afford it.

We can’t wait to chant with you!

✨Medicine Woman Archetype Breathwork Ceremony at The Hive✨

✨There comes a time when we stop searching for the answers and begin listening for the wisdom that has been quietly waiting within.

✨The Medicine Woman is an ancient archetype that lives within each of us. She is a portal to remembering your intuition, your relationship with the Earth, your capacity to listen deeply, and the gifts that are yours alone to offer. She reminds us that healing extends beyond ourselves, rippling into our families, our communities, and the way we walk through the world.

✨This evening is an invitation to deepen your relationship with that inner knowing.

✨We’ll explore this archetype through guided teaching, meditation, and contemplative practice - creating space to listen for the wisdom that is already present. Together, we’ll gather in authentic community, sharing what has been revealed before journeying inward through a live-music breathwork ceremony. As always, we’ll close the evening with time for integration and connection.

✨For those who wish to receive hapé, it will be offered from 5:15–5:50 PM. The breathwork ceremony begins at 6:00 PM and concludes at 9:00 PM.

✨We would be honored to share this evening with you.

✨Kundalini Yoga: The Vagus Nerve Series✨

Begins Tuesday, October 6, 2026

NEW: Choose AM or PM classes!

October 6 - November 12

✨AM Program: Tues + Thurs 7:00 - 8:15am

✨PM Program: Tuesdays 7:00 - 8:30pm

✨Join Susanne Werblow for a 6-week exploration of the vagus nerve through the lens of Kundalini Yoga.

🧱Each week’s practices build upon the previous one.

✨Tuesday morning classes emphasize physical embodiment through Kundalini Yoga kriyas that help awaken awareness and regulate the nervous system through movement.

✨Thursday morning classes slow the pace, focusing on pranayama, meditation, relaxation, and subtle awareness to deepen the week’s theme.

✨For those attending the Tuesday evening program, both elements are thoughtfully woven together into one 90-minute class that combines movement, breathwork, meditation, and deep relaxation.

🧘Whether you’re looking to reduce stress, improve emotional well-being, deepen your yoga practice, or simply learn practical tools for everyday life, this series offers a gentle yet profound journey toward greater calm, resilience, and connection.

✨Co-Ed Breathwork✨

September 22nd, 6:30 - 9:00pm

Early Bird Pricing through September 7th!

✨Join us for a transformative breathwork ceremony where we’ll honor cacao and breathwork to reach a new state of awareness. This is a powerful way to release stress, let go of limiting beliefs, and clear out any stuck and stagnant energy.

✨Let your breath guide you inward to a non-ordinary state that unlocks congestion in your physical, mental and energetic body.

✨Sink into a relaxing sound bath with gongs, singing bowls and soothing percussion. The sound vibration will help you unwind, realign and find a deep sense of wellbeing. These powerful breathwork sessions are designed to help you reconnect with yourself, your body, and your intuition. It’s a chance to let go of what isn’t serving you and embrace your true self.

✨Stay after hours for community integration: a light dinner, sauna, hot & cold tubs.

✨These ceremonies offer a way home—back to yourself, your body, and the deep knowing that lives within you.

*Note that this is an offsite event in Sparta, MI. Exact address will be provided upon registration.

🎨The Shape of Feeling🎨

•What shape does a feeling take?

•Can emotion become color, texture, movement, light—or something that has never been named before?

•On October 22, fifteen artists explore that question in The Shape of Feeling, an exhibition inspired by the wisdom of the living body.

🎨The Shape of Feeling
🥂Opening Reception
🗓️October 22 | 7:00–10:00 PM
 📍Somatic Wisdom Institute

•As author, scholar and teacher Reginald Ray writes: “Sensation brings us into intimate contact with the world around us; intuition opens us to our context in an instantaneous, non-thinking way; feeling reveals our deep connections with others—human, animal, and vegetal. These functions are immediate, often subtle, and largely non-conceptual; and they are essentially somatic, experienced in and through the body.” —Reginald Ray, Touching Enlightenment: Finding Realization in the Body

•Rather than illustrating ideas, these local artists have listened to sensation, intuition, and emotion, allowing their work to emerge from embodied experience.

•We invite you to come experience the many ways feelings can take form.

•Come meet the artists, experience the exhibition, and discover how the language of the body becomes art.

In a world that’s constantly shifting, many men are left asking: “How am I supposed to show up?

🗓️September 8, 2026
⌚️6:30 PM 8:30 PM
📍Somatic Wisdom Institute
1324 Lake Drive SE, GR

🌀Between expectations, pressures, and changing definitions of masculinity, it’s easy to lose our place—or feel like we never had one to begin with.

🪶Breathing Into Brotherhood is a guided breathwork experience designed to support men in healing, grounding, and reconnecting with their true essence. This is a space to explore what it means to be a man today—without judgment, without the need to perform, and without having to explain your story.

✨Through conscious breathwork, we’ll move energy and emotion through the body—not to analyze it, but to release it.
