Upcoming Events
Live & Online Programs
With so much vying for your attention, any you spend here, listening, reading, engaging with the material, is not lost on me. Thank you for that. A quick pause from my usual posts to share some updates and special coming events, in person and online.
Below you'll find dates and details for my upcoming online meditation program, live studio and international events, and my newly added Member’s Library
MEMBER’S LIBRARY ◈ Online · no expiration.
Access my library of 40+ videos: teachings, somatic practices, guided sits, and Q&A sessions. All current videos are from the winter Somatic Regulation Series: Weathering The Storm.
15+ hours of short, effective practices, in-depth teachings, and meditations to help you navigate overwhelm, hold uncertainty, and meet difficulty without destabilizing. The tools are practical and repeatable: completing stress cycles and building resilience. The library will be updated regularly with full asana practices, longer talks, and meditations not posted on Substack.
MEDITATION / CONTEMPLATIVE PROGRAM · HIGHER POWER ◈ Online · Tuesdays 4–5:30 PM EST · May 19th, 26th, June 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd, 30th
The intersection of contemplative and somatic work is where I have found the most stability and connection, both in my own practice and in my teaching.
Last season I ran a Somatic Regulation program designed to help meet the constant intensity our systems are facing. Higher Power continues that work by focusing on contemplative practices with a clear aim: to build a mind you can trust, a body that metabolizes intensity with balance, and a reliable connection to a source of Higher Power that is genuinely yours.
This program blends practices that invite you to question your mind, become aware of how you make meaning, work with shadow in a functional way, and shape your attention upward. I offer these online programs for those who want to be in practice and in community, and in real conversation about how to make the teachings relevant to real life.
No belief system is required. The teachings are offered to be questioned, not from cynicism, but so that what you come to rely on is something you have tested yourself. Each session includes practice, teachings, and a Q&A.
MENTORSHIP · Smaller Group ◈ Online · May–July ‘26 · (*Current dates are subject to change depending on group)
8 sessions over 3+ months. Online. All sessions are recorded.
Working and relating, earning and awakening, loving, dying, and whatever else is happening in a life. My first small group. Sessions consist of practices, prompts, discussions, and Q&A. Mostly this group is comprised well-practiced people working to live a beautiful life of service, self-responsibility, beauty, and direction that feels both inspired and doable. Discussions range from the mundane to the intense as we figure out how to be steadier in reactivity, more creative in perspective, and better at interrupting patterns.
For yourself, your work, or both.
THE RETREATMENT W/ ALLY BOGARD & TARYN TOOMEY ◈ GREECE · Mandarin Oriental, Costa Navarino · May 7th–11th, 2026
4 days in the beauty of coastal Greece. Each day, Taryn Toomey will move you through the portal of movement, music, and breath that is The Class. I will teach down-tempo yoga and meditation. In between, we will hang, laugh, spa, and reboot. Taryn and I are a sweet team and this will be the first of two events we lead together this year. Both have limited space.
IN PERSON WEEKEND INTENSIVE ◈ SkyTing · Contemplative & Somatic Work · May 23 & 24, 2026
Contemplative practice is the discipline of directed attention. Meditation, reflection, and stillness are trainable skills that, over time, reduce reactivity, improve focus, and build a more stable sense of self.
Somatic work addresses what thinking alone cannot. The body holds patterns that insight doesn’t reach. Learning to read and work with those signals is what allows change to actually stick.
Together, these practices close the gap between knowing and living differently. This weekend is practical, using simple, repeatable tools from both traditions, designed to go with you into ordinary life.
No prior experience needed.
RETREAT · BEING WHOLE: RITUAL, RESPECT, & REGULATION ◈ ESALEN, BIG SUR, California · Sept 28th–Oct 2nd, 2026
Joining some of my favorite teachers at one of my all time favorite places. Esalen sits on breathtaking land, with cliff-side practices and round-the-clock hot springs - this place is everything. Thrilled to be teaching alongside the inimitable Elena Brower and Tracee Stanley, as well as Crystal Higgins, a master herbalist. Each day will hold silence, movement, teachings, practices, time in nature, wild plant herbal medicine classes, and long soaks. Ritual, respect, and regulation are our equation for remembering wholeness within a supportive community. Leave with tools for daily ritual, self-regulation, and a deepened connection to your body and the living earth.
MENTORSHIP · Larger Group ◈ Online · Sept–Dec '26 · Application-Based
An intimate group of practitioners coming together several times over the fall to explore deeper, more nuanced aspects of contemplation, inquiry, and embodiment, and how to make practice relevant to life.
Attend live or by recording. Meditation, breath, teachings, and Q&A to track patterns, navigate life, and deepen insight and the follow-through. This program is open to all. The aim is to make complex things more doable.
THE RETREATMENT W/ ALLY BOGARD & TARYN TOOMEY ◈ PERU, Lake Titicaca · November 23rd–28th, 2026
Taryn Toomey and I are heading back to Lake Titicaca for a second year at the extraordinary Titilaka, a hotel perched above the high-altitude lake with expansive, wild views. Hot tubs after morning lake dips, lightning storms over the water, excursions to sacred sites, and full immersion in Peruvian culture and art. The Class and its accompanying practices are a bonus to Peru itself.
This is a small group as space is limited.
Everything is updated on my site. If you have questions about accessing any of this with financial assistance, reach out. A new audio practice and writing will be in your inbox in a day or two.
In love,
