January 20: Lia Montgomery will offer a single session of her HeArt Centered Meditation practice with a focus on 2026 inventions and resolutions. She will also explore the major Astrological events of the year, allowing participants to consider our place on the Planet.
January 27: Vanessa and Will Tippett from Seasons of Balance of Minocqua will share the benefits of Float Therapy sessions. Float Therapy involves the float therapy pod – also known as a sensory deprivation tank – a sight and soundproof environment filled with 10 inches of water that has been saturated with Magnesium sulfate, allowing the body to float easily. The pod deprives senses which allows for an engagement of deep meditation and healing.
February 3: Naomi Kauppi provides an introductory class of Asahi. Designed in 2004 in Finland, Asahi uses modern sports science with a holistic approach to synchronized gentle movements with slow breathing. Asahi is great for all levels and abilities from athletes seeking post-workout recovery, individuals looking for stress-relief, to those who are searching for a gentle reintroduction to exercise.
February 10: Bryn Lottig, manager of Unwind Spa in Woodruff, will share an introduction and demonstration to sound therapy. Sound therapy is used to help bring balance to the body and mind by aligning frequencies that promote relaxation.
