The Empowered Body & Mind: A Wellness Fusion Workshop
2025-06-22 12:30 - 15:00
Join us for a transformational 2.5 hour experience that blends the power of mental clarity with the strength of physical movement. Co-facilitated by wellness and mindset coach Marc Stoecker and fitness expert Afzaal, this intermediate level version of our workshop offers a refreshing, holistic path to reclaiming your energy, focus, and inner balance.
### Part 1 – The Inner Shift: Mental Fitness & Somatic Awareness
This opening session explores how our thoughts, emotions, and body awareness shape our inner and outer experiences. Rooted in the science of Positive Intelligence, we’ll identify the internal “saboteurs” that feed self-doubt and teach practical tools to strengthen your Sage mind—the part of you that leads with calm, clarity, and confidence.
Through gentle somatic movement, reflection, and guided practice, you’ll reconnect with the wisdom of your body and begin shifting out of autopilot thinking.
Inspired by Jamie Kern Lima’s Worthy, we’ll also unpack how many of us unconsciously tie our value to achievement or others’ opinions—and how to begin feeling worthy from within.
Interactive elements include:

PQ rep meditation for mental muscle building
Somatic check-in to deepen self-awareness
Small group reflection: “What’s the gift in this challenge?”
Empathy game to embody self-compassion
Tools and resources to support long-term mindset shifts

### Part 2 – Movement as Medicine: Breath, Strength & Stretch
Next, drop into the body with movement that restores and awakens. Afzaal will guide participants through a progression of breathwork, stretching, and bodyweight stamina exercises designed to:

Boost flexibility and circulation
Enhance body awareness and energy flow
Build foundational strength through mindful movement
Reconnect your physical body to emotional resilience

This portion will alternate between demonstration and active participation, honoring individual ability and offering options for all fitness levels.
### Wrap-Up: Integration & Next Steps
We’ll close with open dialogue, shared takeaways, and curated resources for your continued wellness journey. You’ll leave feeling recharged, realigned, and ready to meet life with greater ease and resilience.
Cost: 25
No prior experience is necessary.
We are located at the very end of 1/2 mile shared driveway. Please remember to keep speed under 10mph on drive.

Spot Energy Chakra Healing
2025-06-29 12:30 - 14:30
Spot Energy Chakra Healing with Sharon Sirkis
Do you have a nagging ache or pain or wish you felt more present and grounded? Come experience a fast, effective, and different way of healing through the use of chakra symbology. A couple attendees during this event will have the opportunity to volunteer to get on the table for a healing/insight. Sharon will also be adding some new techniques to this month’s session.
This event will immediately follow our 11am Singing Bowl Sound Bath Meditation. You are welcome to join for both.
FACILITATOR BIO: Sharon Sirkis graduated from the University of MD in 1979 with a BS in Nursing. She is also a Reiki Master, a certified Chakra Energy Healing Practitioner, an accredited T’ai Chi Chih teacher, a Black Belt in kenpo karate, and a singer and firekeeper for Native American sweat lodge ceremony.
Sharon was led to study and assist with numerous classes in Chakra Energy Healing since 1998. She has also studied extensively at T’ai Sophia Institute for the Healing Arts (now MUIH), with Rosalyn Bruyere, world renowned energy healer.
Sharon sees healing as a big puzzle, and she finds that Spot Energy Chakra Healings including dialogue and insights are a much quicker and more effective piece of the puzzle. She agrees that healers are actually conduits for the energy that supports the body’s innate wisdom to heal itself, although she considers herself to be an active contributor. Sharon believes her background has helped make her an extremely strong and grounded healer, and also one who connects easily with clients because of her sense of humor and down-to-earth manner.

This is poured following Lakota traditions. All are welcome as long as come with open/positive mind and respectful heart. No prior experience is necessary. We will give an introductory talk, review some songs and make prayer ties before going into the lodge.
Part of this ceremony is the work we do beforehand to clean and prepare the grounds. So, please show up in work clothes and bring work gloves. Don’t worry if you are physically unable to do manual labor. There’s always a way you can help out. If you have a rake, chainsaw, weed whacker, maul, gloves or other tools, please bring them just in case. There will be time before the ceremony to change into your sweat attire.
This ceremony is conducted with respect and in honor of the traditional ways, to purify, for the promotion and redemption of life and to honor and make relations with grandmother earth and our spiritual life. So, please leave all ego and emotional baggage at home. No one person is more important than the other. This is about community and building relations thru this ceremony only. So, please understand there is no need to bring crystals, energy healing, chanting or any other special gifts to add into this ceremony. We have many other events for those beautiful gifts.
There is no charge for this ceremony, but we will have a bowl set aside for donations if you would like to offer a donation. Any donation goes directly to purchasing materials to support the ceremony and grounds.
Please understand that if this is your first time, part of the teachings of this way of life our respect, patience and generosity. So, there may be several reasons one might be asked to offer support and pray outside the lodge. Additionally, one person will be needed to be the firekeeper. People are also welcome to come observe and support without going into the sweat lodge.
To go into the lodge, please bring 1 or 2 towels and appropriate clothes to wear into lodge. Men should wear shorts and women should have long skirt and shirt covering shoulders. Traditionally, you bring a small tobacco offering for the firekeeper and the intercessor.
CEREMONIAL MEAL: Part of this ceremony is for the community to enjoy a meal after the sweat. Each person should bring something to contribute to this potluck meal. Also, paper wear is always appreciated.
