WORKSHOP DESCRIPTIONS

12:30 2026: The Year of the Threshold - Verana Faye

Something huge is shifting in the sky and in all of our lives. In this interactive talk, archetypal astrologer and full-spectrum doula Verana Faye explores the major planetary alignments of 2026: the rare and faith-testing Saturn/Neptune conjunction and the electric, evolutionary, and revolutionary Uranus/Pluto trine. Together, these cycles describe a moment of profound dissolution and unexpected liberation — a threshold between the world we have known and the one trying to be born. Come receive the sky as a map for your own becoming. No astrology background needed.

1:30 Discovering Real Health: Functional Medicine, and Body-Mind Connection - Alexandra R. Johnson MD

Being healthy doesn’t require a lot of money, tons of medications or supplements, or expensive techniques. This workshop offers simple and practical tools that naturally and effectively increase your well-being, vitality, and clarity. You will learn tools that can support you regardless of your physical, mental or emotional starting point! Some topics we will cover include: Juice Cleanses, Baths, and tips for general wellness and specific medical conditions. You will also learn Self-Breema exercises and a simple Breema Bodywork treatment to release stress and tension, and rejuvenate body, mind, and feelings!

Alexandra R. Johnson, MD, trained in Family Medicine at the University of Colorado, with a fellowship in obstetrics. She integrates Breema bodywork with functional and western approaches to create a personalized plan for each patient. Dr. Johnson has been studying and teaching Breema bodywork for over 25 years, and has found this approach invaluable in working with any health condition. Her work focuses not only on improving immediate symptoms of illness, but on developing a connection to the body that supports insight into how our unconscious conditioning affects our health. This catalyzes a profound process of personal growth and healing.

2:30 Carrying Grief, Living Forward - Michelle Olsen

Carry Grief, Living Forward is an experiential workshop designed to help individuals build a more compassionate, sustainable relationship with grief. Rather than trying to “move on” or leave grief behind, this workshop invites participants to explore how to carry their grief while continuing to engage with life in meaningful ways.

Through guided reflection, gentle teaching, and optional group sharing, participants will learn how grief evolves over time, how it can coexist with moments of joy and purpose, and how to access their inner support system.

The workshop emphasizes honoring loss while also reconnecting with personal values, direction, and possibility.

Participants will leave with:

  • A reframed understanding of grief as something to carry, not fix
  • Tools for navigating waves of emotion with more steadiness
  • A deeper connection to their own inner wisdom
  • One small, intentional step toward living forward

This workshop is ideal for anyone who is ready to integrate their grief into their life in a way that feels supportive, authentic, and life-affirming.

About the Facilitator

Michelle McAndrew Olsen, MA, CPCC, is a grief educator, facilitator, and life coach who supports individuals in navigating loss and life transitions with compassion, clarity, and intention. She has been supporting humans on the path of change, loss, and becoming for 18 years.

3:30 Restoring the Sensing Body: Deep listening to self, other, and the space between - Tracy James

There is a way of perceiving that lives beneath the surface of ordinary attention. A way of sensing that anchors in the body and extends into the space around us. Most of us have learned to mentally override this sensing intelligence.

Over time this narrows our access to more immediate, relational and intuitive intelligence that orients us in real time to ourselves, to others, and to the living field we're part of.

This workshop is an invitation back into that sensing capacity. Through simple, grounded, experiential practices we explore what it means to listen with and through the body.

We'll work with:

  • Sensing your internal state
  • Perceiving subtle shifts in others
  • Attuning to the space between you and your environment
  • Distinguishing between sensing and the meaning we place on what is felt

For most of human history, people related to self, to each other, and to the natural world through embodied perception. Modern life asks us to live predominantly in our heads. The pace, screens and constant stimulation gradually displace a more ancient and holistic way of being. This workshop offers an exploration into loosening that mental grip and recovering a way of sensing that these times are calling on us to remember.

Tracy James is a Ritualist, Life Coach, and Spiritual Herbalist whose work explores the transformative intersection of shamanism, leadership, eco-sentience, and mindful embodiment. For over 20 years, Tracy has integrated ancient and modern approaches into the Nature-based somatic coaching methodology she terms Elemental Energetics™. Tracy has lived in the Amazon jungle in Peru and carries deep knowledge of northern Amazonian indigenous plant medicine practices and has 15 years experience supporting journeyers in psychedelic integration.
