Fall Transition Sound Meditation with Gyöngyi Ridenour
New Beginnings · Harvesting Emotions · Inner Clarity

As we approach the September New Moon and the autumn equinox, you’re invited to pause, reflect, and attune to the sacred shift of the seasons. This sound meditation is designed to guide you through the energetic doorway of fall transition—a time to gently release what no longer serves and make space for new intentions to take root.
With the support of grounding frequencies, healing instruments, and guided inner reflection, we’ll tune into the emotional harvest of the year so far—honoring what you’ve grown, what you’re ready to let go of, and what you now feel called to create.
This class will include:
Gentle breathwork to calm the nervous system
Guided meditation for emotional harvesting and release
A soothing sound bath to nourish your energy body
Intention setting to align with the coming new moon
Come as you are. No experience needed—just an open heart and the courage to begin again.
✨ Perfect for grounding, clarity, emotional reset, and entering the new season with presence.

Circle Singing with Kappé Rousseau

Circle Singing is collective vocal improvisation: making stuff up and singing it together on the fly.
The facilitator creates melodies and sings them to sections of the circle. Layers of harmonies, rhythms, counter rhythms spring up with no written music. Participants will get the experience of hearing their part as an integral piece of the whole experience. The facilitator offers the pulse, feel and vibe of the flow of emotion.

Venmo: @Kappe-Rousseau

My passion for musical creativity started at an early age when I became bored with piano lessons. I had to ‘practice’ or at least ‘play’ the piano every day for an hour. I started making things up – changing things up and re-arranging the music. Later in life, I lived in NYC for a time and I created a business of ‘arranging’ music for artists who were looking to attract interest in their songs. I can hear where the music is going in my head and then lay it out, or play it out.
I’ve played professionally as part of a group and solo for years. I have a background in classical/orchestral performance in percussion. My main instrument is piano and I am just as comfortable with guitar in open tunings. I have a BA in Music from U.C. Berkeley. My background in Circle Singing is from Oakland California and the Circle Singing team of Bobby McFerrin. I decided to bring Circle Singing anywhere I can so that people can experience the power of the collective voice and also tap deeply into their inner being and soul and SING!

The Vision Workshop™ with Kappé Rousseau

3 Keys to Mastering Your Results
• Do you want to feel more purpose and fullfilment in your life?
• Do you want to bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be?
• Do you have a dream, yet don’t know where to begin to achieve it?
If these questions resonate with you, then you are going to love this workshop!

In 1853, Henry David Thoreau wrote a famous essay called “Walden,” in which he included a hidden code for prosperous living. During this dynamic Vision workshop, you will unlock this code so that you can harness your life’s purpose and the prosperity you deserve!

You will learn:
• Three essential keys for mastering your life results.
• A 5-point test for determining whether your dream is right for you.
• To recognize and rewire old patterns that no longer serve you.
• What wealthy people do that creates sustained success.

• A proven method for dissolving resistance to prosperity so you can attract higher levels of results and abundance.
• The 1 critical thing you must do to reach your dream.
And much more!
Kappé’s mission is simple: To help people step into the most empowered, alive and purposeful version of themselves. Clarity, Purpose, Prosperity

Venmo: @TrailRunningYogi_Desi

I took my first yoga class in 2008 while visiting Costa Rica and haven’t looked back since. Yoga continues to bring me a sense of community, ease, clarity, and joy.

Over the years, I’ve gravitated toward slower practices that support deep tissue release and connection to yoga philosophy. I’m trained in Vinyasa, Yin, Restorative, and Yoga Nidra, with a 200-hour YTT from The Grinning Yogi (Pacific Northwest) and an additional 75-hour YTT from Channels of Healing / East Wind Yoga (Auburn, CA).

In my classes, I prioritize inclusivity, alignment, and creating a welcoming space where everyone can show up just as they are—whether it’s their first class or their hundredth. I enjoy blending movement and stillness, and working with fascia, especially as someone who understands the stiffness and injuries that come from running and commuting.

When I’m not on the mat, you’ll likely find me trail running somewhere beautiful.

I hope to practice with you soon!
