👋 Welcome to SoulFire, a journey to create healing space of rejuvenation for the solar plexus chakra. Unlock your power through movement, mindfulness, sound, and community!

🌞 The solar plexus chakra, located in the abdomen, is associated with personal power, confidence, and self-esteem. You will be guided through a series of embodied practices to help balance and activate this important energy center, allowing you to feel empowered and grounded.

🌱 We'll then gather to enjoy a fresh and locally sourced farm-to-table meal. Our menu features seasonal ingredients and delicious flavors that will nourish your body and soul. We believe in the importance of sustainable and ethical food practices, and our meal reflects this commitment.

🎼 To conclude our event, you'll experience an outdoor crystal singing bowl and gong sound bath immersion. As you relax and soak up the peaceful surroundings, the soothing sounds of the crystal bowls will wash over you, promoting deep relaxation and stress relief. It's the perfect way to end the day and leave you feeling rejuvenated and restored.

🔥 SoulFire is the perfect opportunity to take time for yourself and invest in your well-being. Join us for an unforgettable day of chakra healing, delicious food, and peaceful relaxation.

👋 Hello community

🤸‍♀️ I'm so excited to announce that the Farm to Yoga Retreat is on the schedule for August 27, 2023.

✨️Tickets go on sale April 3rd✨️

🙏In the meantime, meet the facilitators for this year's event, and stay tuned for more details @ livingfreeyoga.org

👉 For those who are just joining our community, I am the owner of Sunshine Acres Family Farm and Living Free Yoga. I can't wait to connect with you!

A Kitsap native, Erika Anderson believes that our connection to the natural world can provide us with the means to find our own unique path to bliss.

In 2014, she earned the RYT-200 designation with training in Hatha and Vinyasa yoga at the International College of Holistic Studies and in 2021 earned RYT-500 designation with training in Vinyasa, Yoga Nidra, Restorative, Yin, Adaptive, Children’s, Prenatal, and Trauma Informed yoga from My Vinyasa Practice.

👉 Meet Jessica Gallegos-White

Jessica Gallegos-White is a licensed acupuncturist and massage therapist who specializes in women’s health, fertility, orthopedics, auto-immune disease, digestive disorders and chronic pain. She is the owner and clinic director of Inner Wisdom Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine, PLLC.  Jessica has been providing health care to her community for 30 years.  She lives on the property that her great-grandfather homesteaded in Port Orchard in 1925. She enjoys growing medicinal herbs and vegetables to nourish her friends and family.

Jessica will be offering ear acupuncture or acupressure (with seeds, gold beads or swarovski crystals) with a focus on the earth element (土).  Earth is the element of the late summer season and correlates to the spleen (pancreas) and stomach organs. The spleen is responsible for making blood and chi and transforming fluids. The stomach is responsible for breaking down and digesting food. The energy of earth is that of the Mother: nurturing, nourishing, and caring. When the spleen is strong our thinking is sharp and our muscles are strong. In traditional Chinese acupuncture, the ear represents a microcosm of the whole body. Stimulating the spirit calming point of shen men, spleen and stomach awaken the vagus nerve bringing you into a state of rest and digest. Ear acupuncture will be provided as you enter the sound bath experience at Farm to Yoga.

👉 Meet Maggie Allyn Cole

Hi, my name is Maggie, and I have been teaching yoga for 12 years. I fell in love with yoga at the age of 19. I felt a deep connection to my yoga teacher, and my practice supported my mind, body, and spirit as I healed from past traumas. I started yoga for the external benefits, but it has been the internal benefits that made me stay.

I was born to be a teacher. In addition to yoga, I teach public school special education in Tacoma, Washington, where I live, and I am passionate about empowering my students to grow and thrive. 

 Life has taught me the hard way about what it takes to overcome life’s challenges. Having experienced the death of a parent by su***de in my childhood, and subsequently struggling with addiction and mental wellness in adulthood, my healing journey led me to the light of my passion— helping others transform their pain into their purpose.

👉 Meet Tiffany Schindler

Chef, coach, and educator

Combine one part obsession of gardening and one degree in whole foods nutrition and mix well. Then, allow to simmer in dozens of restaurants and home kitchens for two decades. Season to taste with a personal study in herbalism, add a dollop of whimsy, and there you have Chef Tiffany.

Tiffany believes that a personal connection with one’s food is not only healthful, it’s essential for the vitality and balance we all desire from life. She’s inspired by farm-fresh veggies and loves to let the vegetable lead as she concocts nutritious, balanced, and delicious meals.

Tiffany undertook studies at Bastyr University in 2008 to learn how to feed her young son who has multiple food allergies. Now that he is grown and cooks for himself, she has a new helper in the kitchen, her two-year-old son. When she’s not busy playing with food, she’s gardening, making art, and hiking with her family.
