Cacao Meditation
Friday June 19th, 9-10:30am
Somatic Wisdom Institute 1324 Lake Dr. SE, #4 Grand Rapids, MI 49506
Our heart is believed to be the seat of our intuition, the place in our body where we can connect to who we truly are. This event at the Somatic Wisdom Institute invites you to enjoy a cup of ceremonial cacao that has been hand-crafted by Somatic Wisdom Lead Teacher, Ryan DeLuca. Ryan will guide you through a gentle breath and embodiment practice to quiet your mind and relax your nervous system. The session will move into a guided meditation of your heart space, inviting you to connect deeper to yourself and your life.
This heart-centered class will recur monthly on the third or last Friday of the month.

Breathing into Brotherhood: a Men’s SOMA Breath Journey
Tuesday, July 7th, 6:30 - 8:30pm
Somatic Wisdom Institute 1324 Lake Dr. SE, #4 Grand Rapids, MI 49506
Join Ryan for an evening of coming together to heal in community. This Men’s workshop is an invitation to reconnect with your breath as medicine and your body as the gateway to presence, guided by rhythmic breathing, intentional music, and the heart-opening medicine of cacao. This workshop is for men and anyone that identifies with men’s containers.
SOMA Breath is a breathwork practice that involves rhythmic breathing and breath holding. These ancient techniques have been used by yogis for thousands of years and offer numerous benefits on physical, emotional, and neurological levels.
What excites Ryan the most about this event is working with this idea of collective consciousness, it's like universal internet that all of life is connected to. When we breathe in a rhythm as a group, we create a collective coherence where the entire group's energy field syncs up and amplifies, and positively impacts the group as a whole. This workshop is more than just breathing for yourself, you're breathing for everyone in the room, and the collective consciousness we're all a part of.
