Experienced Contact Improv Jam with Jacqueline Rubinstein
Repeats Tuesdays
7:00 – 9:00 pm
SomaSpace’s Tuesday Contact Improv jam collaborates with local musicians for live music co-creations of movement and soundscape. The ephemeral nature of improvisation is enhanced with the energy of the group and sounds of the music to inspire and delight. Please arrive before opening circle if you are new to the group.
The intention of this contact improv jam is to be a laboratory for folks that already have a basic understanding of contact improv. This is a laboratory for contact improv principles and artistic emotional physical expression.
This jam is hosted by the director/owner of SomaSpace, Jacqueline Rubinstein. It is her special joy to share in this creative endeavor with you. She looks forward to seeing you on the dance floor.

Saying Yes! Improvisation with Carlton Grew
Repeats Wednesdays
7:30 – 9:00 pm
This weekly workshop is for those seeking to build creative, performance, and life skills from a totally original perspective. This form of improvisation has provided inspiration to hundreds of people seeking more creativity and presence in their work and life.
THIS is NOT traditional theater improvisation. You have no responsibility to be creative, interesting, funny, graceful, or talented. You need not be skilled in movement, sound, or speech. No experience necessary! The less experience you have, the more you will discover.
Build your presence, increase your confidence, grow and connect with your creative impulses, escape your clichés, and find your voice and extend it. Discover more beauty in more moments, and have a richer sensory experience in your everyday life.This is a mindfulness-centered form of improvisation using empathy, observation, movement, sound, and speech. The work can be a creative adventure, a magical fusing of an ensemble, a spiritual exploration, or simply a collection of fully lived moments. It is also Big Fun!

Conscious Connected Breathwork
Repeats 1st Thursdays
6:00pm – 8:00pm
Conscious Connected Breathwork is an active, guided breathing practice that can support nervous system regulation, greater self-awareness, and a deeper connection with yourself. Using a continuous, intentional breathing pattern, it creates the conditions for stress, trauma, and unresolved emotions to be processed, released and integrated. This breathing pattern temporarily shifts your brainwave state and physiology, allowing you to enter a non-ordinary state of consciousness. In this state, the breath creates a bridge between your conscious mind and your nervous system, bringing awareness to sensations, emotions, and unconscious patterns that aren’t always accessible through thinking alone.
Each session begins with an overview of the experience, including the breathing technique, what to expect, and space for any questions, followed by intention setting and approximately 50 minutes of guided breathwork. We’ll close out the session with time for grounding, integration, and optional sharing. Sessions are intentionally kept small to create a space where participants can feel supported, receive individualized guidance, and move through the experience at their own pace. Every session is guided with a trauma-informed approach that emphasizes safety, choice, and honoring each person’s unique experience.

Temple of the Cosmic Heart is a monthly co-creative ceremony where we ground into presence and attune to what’s alive for the group in the moment. This circle has evolved over several years into a potent space for authentic spiritual connection. Through guided journeys, light language transmissions, and sound healing, we open a dedicated container for healing and energetic activation. As a living community, your unique frequency is a vital part of our collective field. Many participants leave feeling deeply supported, heart-opened, and reconnected to the sacred within.
Join us for a monthly gathering where we come together in a loving community to experience:
✨ Channeled Journeys & Light Language Activations – Receive high-frequency transmissions to enhance your intuitive abilities.
✨ Sound Healing & Guided Energy Medicine – Allow vibrational healing to clear blocks and align your energy field.

Rest & Restore with Mussirio
Repeats 3rd Thursdays
7:00pm – 9:00pm
We’d like to welcome you to an immersive evening of sound, breathwork, microdosing, and somatic healing! Paired with dynamic sound and the frequency of an (optional) fungi microdose, we will journey through inner emotional landscapes and release stuck emotions, expanding consciousness and returning to the body.
During this session you’ll be guided through The Elemental Rhythm Flow Experience. This breathwork experience combines movement (shaking), along with several rounds of guided breathing and extended exhalations set to a cadence of music. This yin/downregulating activation will calm you down, help you unwind, and bring you to the present moment. Sound healing often leaves people feeling grounded, balanced, and deeply replenished as the vibrations help restore a natural sense of peace and flow.

$50

SomaSpace’s Community Circle
Repeats 3rd Fridays
• On Summer Break until Sept. 18
The SomaSpace Community Circle is guided by the belief that gathering together with other heart-centered folks is essential for optimum health, growth, and empowerment. We have the opportunity to join together and help guide the world back into harmony.
Each circle holds the value that all people are wisdom-keepers with unique talents, perspectives, and richness to share. When you take the time to sit in circle with feminine energy and share with an open heart, getting real and raw, it renews your strength and power. Together we will explore new realms of thinking and being, and engage your autonomy and agency to be the best version of yourself!
The flow of new members and monthly regulars at this circle creates a unique blend of energy, with emphasis on empathy and deepening experiences together. Each unique group shares the vulnerable truth of being alive in this moment and together we strengthen our capacity to be present and hold open, non-judgmental, loving space for others. Facilitation will be grounded and consent based, encouraging you to be present in your body.
Come however you are, regardless of where you find yourself to be ~ bright, gloomy, tired, energized, struggling, peaceful or celebrating ~ the space for you is here! People across the vast gender and race/ethnicity spectrum welcome! Queer friendly space. 18+ or must be accompanied by a parental figure.
