Let's Close Out Summer with a Spirit Full of Stoke!

September 14th marks the Harvest Moon, a time to reflect on all that we did during summer and to invoke a fall full of awesome. This SoulJour Experience is one for the whole family and touches on 4 themes, Play, Learn, Breathe, and Groove. Our beautiful Wembley Park Sanctuary, located directly next to a 55-acre park.

Our Harvest Moon Celebration begins with a short silent walk through the woods. We'll then enjoy play time with our kiddos before learning about Vata season. We'll concoct our own essential oils (bath bombs for the kids). This is a great to practice outside in Mother Nature and learn skills to calm the mind, get ready for fall, and spend quality time with our kids.

About the Sessions

Family Yoga

P L A Y :
A Truth Rockin' Friends & Family Flow with Mandie Guth 

Let’s move, connect, and play! Family members of all ages are encouraged to join in this celebration of our AUMazing hearts, minds, and bodies. After we move and practice some simple breathing exercises, we’ll enjoy a snuggly drum journey to let our imagination run wild. We'll take stock of our summer achievements, celebrate with our loved ones, and reap the fruits of our labor. Sharing these joyful moments together with our little ones is priceless. This practice is for all levels and is meant to be shared with our best friends, parents, spouses, siblings and especially our children!

About Mandie

Yoga’s uplifting, invigorating effects have been an essential element of Mandie’s life since 2008 where she studied under Grand Master Adam and the International Yoga Studio in Virginia Beach and received her first 200RYT. Traveling to Hawaii and with the birth of her son, she received her Prenatal RYT, and wildly changed her teaching to include all parts of the family. These classes include Family yoga, Baby and Me and Pre and Postnatal. Mandie and her family left Hawaii and set out to travel the world. Eight countries, a drive across the United States, and one year of incredible experiences later, they finally settled on a new home in Portland. Mandie now holds a 500RYT from the Sattva Yoga Academy in Rishikesh, India, Street Yoga and Primal Vinyasa certifications under Ivy Katz and Annie Adamson. Her classes are filled with laughter and creative sequences and music to match. 

 Essential Oils

L E A R N :
Prepping for Vata Season with a DIY Essential Oils (adults) & Bath Bombs (kiddos) Bar with Suzanne Zupancic

Learn how the Five Elements of nature relate to the science of Ayurveda, and how we find balance through nature's remedy: essential oils.

The full Harvest moon marks the end of the summer Pitta (fire) season and beginning of the fall Vata (air) season in Ayurvedic science. Our bodies are beginning to cool and now need warmth and grounding and cool lunar air starts to move in. 

Subtle aromatherapy, specific essential oils affect the mind & emotions and create balance mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Suzanne will guide us through selecting a top, middle and base note for our very own personal healing concoction for our own home use. For the kids, we'll have a separate "bath bombs" bar for them to have fun creating their very own bath concoction!
