All are welcome to attend. The monthly SRF Community Meditation offering is based on the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda.
Through the steady practice of yoga meditation, it is possible to experience a deepening sense of peace, love, compassion, and joy. As inner transformation unfolds, its positive influence naturally extends outward—first to family and community, and eventually to the world at large.
“Reform yourself, and you will reform thousands.” — Paramahansa Yogananda
The benefits of the scientific methods of yoga he taught do not depend on belief, but arise from direct personal experience of the Divine.

As we attune to the shifting energies of the natural world, we begin to recognize these same movements within ourselves—cycles of growth, expression, release, rest, and renewal.
The Elemental Breath is a breathwork and journaling series rooted in Chinese medicine, Daoist 5-Element wisdom, and the living rhythm of the seasons. Each gathering is a guided descent into breath, body, and spirit—woven through intentional breathing, gentle movement, sound, and reflective journaling.
This is a space to let go, to listen deeply, and to remember your place within the greater whole. Through shared presence and simple ritual, each session becomes an invitation to return home to your breath, your body, and the wisdom that lives within.

Release old stories about your body, restore your connection to your physical self, and feel empowered in your body, no matter what.
From a very young age, women are told how their bodies should look, and what they should do and be in order to achieve that physical state. As a result, the connection to our intuition, the way we take care of ourselves, and the ability to offer our bodies acceptance and unconditional love has been muted.
Join Kat Libby and Marina Harmon for a transformative mini-retreat to release the old stories you tell yourself about your body and your worth. In this half-day session, you'll restore your connection to your physical self and leave feeling confident and empowered in your body, no matter what.
