Somatic meets Culture


Intro to The Rise of the Edgewalker:

A Somatic Toolbox for Building Heart-Based Alliances


Trish De Rocher

Transforming Consciousness Founder



How do we come to the edge of each other’s battles and tenderest wounds?


How do we build social relations of equity and compassion without bypassing our collectively entangled, compromising, and often painful histories?


Trish offers to forge a new pathway through these seemingly irresolvable conundrums.


She invites a bridge between collective liberation theory and spiritual healing techniques to provide pragmatic, thoughtful, heart-centered approaches to address compounded, intergenerational cultural trauma.




Healing meets Movement


Freedom Dances with Yemaya



Freedom Dances was born from years of dancing Gabriel Roth's 5 Rhythms and

of sweating her prayers in modern tribal settings.


This Dance Medicine is infused with decades of spiritual and cultural wisdom practices.


We will free our instruments, turning our fiery or challenging expression into creative content and our contractions and inhibitions into ecstatic release.



Deep Alignment Yoga with Megan Cannon


Megan lives a life of yoga as she weaves in all 8 limbs of Yoga into her practice,

work and her greatest joy of mothering her 7 year old son.

At the age of 20, Megan asked, "God? If there is one? Please show yourself " !

Within hours was given her first translation of Patanjali's Yoga Sutra.


While working on her undergrad in Special Education at Western Washington University Megan studied extensively with top Iyengar teachers developing a strong foundation in the traditional Iyengar alignment based asana. After a 2 year apprenticeship she was accepted to study with the Iyengar family in Pune, India.

Her classes suits all levels and offer impeccable guidance even for those

recovering from injuries.

She will be our morning Asana practice instructor.



Ancient Medicines meet Expansion



Plant Medicine Integration with Susanita Belen


Plants Medicines used to assist profound healing work are becoming more and more accepted and their immense benefits recognized in the medical and trauma recovery communities.


But an improper preparation, integration and ceremonial space facilitation can at time create more damages than healing.


Susanita will offer some very precise tools for us to use with psyllocybin offerings as most healing practices and practitioners are now invited to question their desire to stay updated with the growing and expanding access to plant medicines.


Susanita is an ordained minister and a facilitator of interpersonal intimacy communications skills.


Mother to a sweet tween daughter, Susanita is also a ceremonialist, integration facilitator, medicine woman, and has attended 26 births as a doula.

A massage therapist since 2003 she is also a long time meditator.


She loves singing, and bring indigenous Icaros to her journey work.




Healing Relationship with Food with Jamie Fries


Jamie will be our chef and will share her stories of healing with food and how to keep loving oneself even when the awareness that we are eating out of emotional

comfort need, or self-sabotage comes through.


She is most passionate about supporting local farmers, growing food, and being in deep connection and reverence to what is on our plate, and how we’re relating to our food.


She has been living on the Big Island for 5 years and knows the sources of her ingredients like the palm of her hand.
