Throughout the Spring Season, we will continue having soup and snacks provided as an opportunity to share a meal as we settle into our time together. Donations are welcome but not required.
Community Conversations is a way to build community through conversation. Coming together as a community is something we highly value at Satya. While each of us leads lives across a diverse array of experiences, beliefs, and backgrounds, the practice of yoga is what unites us all – building a greater connection with ourselves, and each other.
Community Conversations is a space where members of the Satya community – and beyond – continue the unifying practice of yoga through purposeful, facilitated conversations. Much like the physical practice of yoga asana (poses), the practice of intentional conversation is a practice of connection and awareness. As we exercise our capacity for purposeful and patient communication, we gain a greater understanding of ourselves and others, build a stronger sense of community, and carry compassion forward into the rest of our lives.
This practice integrates fundamental tenets of yoga philosophy, namely ahimsa (nonviolence) and satya (truth), while using the framework of Community Building Circles (CBCs) to facilitate the intentional time together. In each 90-minute gathering, Madison will guide participants through thoughtfully prepared questions that center around a particular theme, to which all participants have the opportunity to respond. In order to ensure a respectful space for all, conversations follow community-established guidelines. Read more about these down below.
CURRENT THEME THROUGHOUT SPRING 2026: Growing Together
The evolution of the self is an arduous journey, full of both challenges and possibilities. Whether we are facing a familiar hurdle in an ongoing cycle of personal difficulty, or we are presented with an opportunity to be courageous in the face of something new, each of us is engaged with the ongoing process of becoming. This process is ever-unfolding, and demands our participation every step of the way. Yet in this process of becoming we are never alone. As we embark on a journey into the unknown self, our evolution is sparked, supported, or otherwise influenced by those around us. In this season of spring, Community Conversations will explore the ways in which we see ourselves and each other grow, offering opportunities for us to connect with the divine art of becoming whoever we are meant to be, together.

This monthly offering provides a gentle, community-centered space to slow down, regulate, and restore. Together, we will begin by arriving in the body and orienting to the present moment. You’ll be invited to reflect on what you’re carrying and identify what supports your sense of steadiness and ease.
We will explore a brief, accessible nervous system practice grounded in Somatic Experiencing principles to support regulation and capacity. The class will conclude with a 35–40 minute guided iRest® Yoga Nidra meditation — a deeply restorative practice that invites awareness of sensations, emotions, and thoughts in a spacious, supported way.
This practice is accessible to all levels and can be experienced lying down or seated comfortably.
Join Karlie and Nick for a curated yoga and live music experience. The practice will begin with group mantra accompanied by harmonium and guitar. There will be some gentle movement and a guided exploration of supported restorative and yin poses, with the option of receiving hands-on adjustments. As the poses unfold, be transported through soundscapes ranging from classical piano to traditional Nepali meditations on the six-hole Bansuri flute, improvised pieces and lush soundscapes. We hope to create a container that connects the community to their inner self and to each other while being led to a greater felt sense of ease.

Join Hollie for a time of preparation as we move from the depths of Winter to the lightness of Spring. Pulling from astrological, taoist, and other ancient & modern philosophies, we will honor the transition of Spring to Winter. This is a time to step fully into our passions and what we're choosing to expand into for the next season(s) of our lives. We move passionately, using the cultivation of our dreams to become a fruitful reality.
Pulling from astrological, taoist, and other ancient philosophies, we will honor this initiatory energy through contemplation of the essence of the season. We will review how this time of year was translated in ancient astrology, look at current astrological movements of the stars, and find threads of integration with how it is connected to our own bodies through theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
During this practice we can spend some time looking at individual birth charts. Reach out to Hollie if you need a copy of yours.
The workshop will conclude with a contemplative Yin practice where we can allow the activity of the mind to settle into the wisdom of the body.
We're taking a crew out to Abri Lumiere again! Join us in assisting the shelter and it’s residents! Our time will include upkeep of the shelter, with tasks such as cleaning, patching walls, painting, and lawncare.
We can only take a small group into the shelter, so if you're planning on joining us please be sure to reserve a spot so we have a proper head count. Learn more about the opportunity and the organization at the link below, or register to join us.
Limited to 10 Volunteers
CONNECTION TO YOURSELF • CONNECTION TO OTHERS • CONNECTION TO THE WORLD AROUND YOU
Did you know that honey bees dance to communicate with one another? Join us to learn about the science and magic of these important pollinators. From the social structure of the honey and bumble to the solitary nature of wild hole-nesting bees — for whom we will build a bee hotel — bees are fascinating creatures! We’ll work creatively with bees wax to engage the senses and explore the dance of the honey bees, along with themes of communication, connection, cooperation, and kinship, through story and movement.
We will use bees as metaphor to introduce and explore mindfulness meditation concepts in a kid-friendly way. Incorporating skills of setting seeds of intentions, sharing with and understanding others, pausing to practice patience, and taking appropriate action, we'll find deeper connection with ourselves and with each other.
Please bring a lunch and water bottle.
