NOSC: Community Integration

Have you ever experienced a non-ordinary state of consciousness (NOSC)? A NOSC includes a brief yet profound alteration to perceptions and awareness, often induced by flow state activities or psychedelics, such as yoga, dance, prayer, Psilocybin, MDMA, and Ketamine. These states have the potential to heal, especially when integrated.

Gather in community for a group exploration and integration of non-ordinary states of consciousness led by certified Psychedelic Guide, Brittany Spoolstra. Brittany will lead a grounding meditation and the creation of a group altar. You will then be mindfully guided to call forward past experiences and share healing wisdom with the cohort. Time will end with a closing devotion, and you'll leave with a renewed sense of self and connection to community.

You are invited to bring a nature-based altar offering, such as flower petals, leaves, rocks, sand, etc.

Friday, December 19 @ 7:30-8:45p @ The Kula Collective
$20 / $15 for members

Meet your facilitator: Brittany is a West Michigan native, nature enthusiast, and music lover. She uplifts the power of the inner healer as she works to de-stigmatize mental and spiritual health. Brittany has provided over 200 hours of psychedelic support and is certified in Psychedelic Assisted Therapy (PAT) with Naropa University.

This gathering does not include the ingestion of psychedelic substances, and is not for promotion, seeking, or medical advice concerning illegal substances.

Sagittarius New Moon + Winter Solstice Moon Circle

This December, the New Moon in Sagittarius arrives just as the Winter Solstice draws near—inviting us into a sacred threshold moment where darkness and light, endings and beginnings, meet in quiet harmony. Spend this time with your community during an uplifting New Moon circle where you'll cultivate peace, creativity, and calm.

The evening will open with time to craft a small keepsake meant to hold your 2026 intentions. You'll then settle into a nourishing, extended, Restorative Yoga practice, led by Meagen, to promote nervous system repair, create warmth for body and soul, and open space for your visions to take root. An optional oracle card pull will offer guidance for the path ahead.

This circle will honor both the inward stillness of winter and the forward-reaching fire of Sagittarius. Together, they open a rare portal for releasing the energetic weight of 2025 and planting the seeds of your next chapter with clarity and hope. This is a time for quiet magic, big dreams, and trusting your intuition as new visions take root.

Dress comfortably, and bring a journal, pen, a water bottle, your yoga mat, and a meaningful item—something that symbolizes hope, renewal, or returning light—to share in our collective altar. You’ll take your altar item home afterward.

*This gathering can be enjoyed on its own or as a continuation of the earlier Super Full Moon in Gemini circle, creating a beautiful arc of release and renewal as we move into the final weeks of 2025.

Release & Rise: RESET Breathwork to Close 2025

As the New Year approaches, it’s easy to leap ahead, diving right into resolutions, goals, vision boards, and desired manifestations. While dreaming forward is exciting and expansive, there’s power in pausing first. There’s magic in looking back, because you’re not starting over. You’re nurturing seeds you planted long ago.

Join Sarah Sutton and your Kula community for a reflective, somatic experience to close out 2025 with clarity, gratitude, and peace. Through guided reflection, you’ll explore all that unfolded this year -- your celebrations, challenges, breakthroughs, lessons, and the quiet wisdom you didn’t even realize you were receiving.

You’ll declare what you’re ready to release -- the patterns, habits, people, and energies you’re not bringing into 2026. Then you'll drop into a somatic RESET Breathwork Session to help you let it all go on a cellular level. After breathwork, you’ll be served a warm mug of ceremonial cacao and spend time in a creative reflection ritual that will leave you overflowing with pride, gratitude, and awe for the life you’re already living. You’ll leave feeling light, grounded, and ready to step into the new year with a clean slate and an open heart!

What is RESET Breathwork?
RESET is a 3-part conscious connected breathing pattern used to release stored emotions and trauma in the mind and body, reset the nervous system, and create an elevated state of being. The RESET Breath Method takes you deeper than traditional Pranayama, breathing into your body and inner world, inviting more release and a state of relaxation and awareness.

R: Re-calibrate your nervous system
E: Elevate your vibration
S: Somatically release stored emotions
E: Expand your consciousness
T: Transform into your most authentic self

Do not register if you are pregnant or recently post-natal (6 weeks or less)

Wear comfortable clothes and bring a yoga mat and a laptop, tablet, or your phone for the creative ritual.

Next Level New Year: RESET Breathwork, Cacao, and New Year Rituals

Meet Sarah Sutton at Kula for an expansive breathwork workshop to open the year in alignment and start 2026 feeling tapped in, turned on, and deeply connected to your truth! 

Time will begin with a powerful RESET breathwork session designed to connect you directly with your Spirit, intuition, and inner wisdom. You’ll be shown what desires to lean into, who you’re becoming, and what pathways are calling you forward in the year ahead.

After breathwork, you’ll sip a warm, nourishing mug of cacao and dive into a New Year activity that will help you make the absolute most out of 2026. This ritual will shift you out of "hustle" mode and into an intentionally designed year that feels rich, playful, meaningful, and alive!

Immerse yourself in recovery community at Kula for a meeting of the mind and body during Y12SR: The Yoga of 12-Step Recovery. Y12SR “connects the dots” between the ancient wisdom of yoga, the practical tools of 12-step programs, and the latest research on trauma healing and neurobiology. The cognitive and the somatic are blended into one holistic approach designed to address the physical, mental, and spiritual dis-ease of addiction.

Y12SR meetings include a 12-step-style recovery-based, discussion-style meeting guided by your peer support specialist, Andrew.

Y12SR is open to anyone dealing with their own addictive behavior or affected by the addictive behavior of others. All "A's," recovery paths, and the recovery-curious are welcome. Y12SR is an adjunct recovery and relapse prevention tool designed to support one's ongoing program.
