Transcend Fest VT 2026

Somatic SWEAT is a Fight, Flow & Flexibility Class Rooted in Rhythm and Dance.

Participants move through powerful, rhythmic “fight” sequences to build strength and cardio, transition into fluid, dance-inspired flow, and finish with grounding flexibility on the mat.
This somatic movement class blends sweat and self-expression with body awareness and nervous system regulation. Designed for all levels, no dance experience is required—just a willingness to move, sweat, and connect to rhythm.

Erin returns to Transcend Fest with a high-energy Buti MVMNT class inspired by the power, joy, and connection that make festival movement unforgettable.

In the Marathi language, the word buti means "a secret remedy or cure," but it's no secret that Buti MVMNT is a powerful blend of yoga asana, strength and conditioning, cardio, plyometrics, and somatic, primal movement designed to challenge both body and mind.
This sweat-dripping, full-body experience will have you moving with confidence as you tap into your inner warrior.
Set to a heart-pumping playlist, Erin's Buti classes are empowering, playful, and unapologetically fun. Come ready to work hard, let go, and leave feeling strong, alive, and fully in your body.

This workshop uses Dao Yin principles to harmonize the body's internal systems and boost natural energy levels.

Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian cultural expression rooted in resistance, play, and collective memory. Blending movement, music, and dialogue, it invites practitioners into a living practice of awareness, adaptability, and connection. Through agile, expressive movements accompanied by live music, Capoeira becomes a space for embodied presence, cultural transmission, and communal healing.

We'll begin with a brief opening circle, followed by a slow, somatic arrival to help you land in your body and in the space. From this place of alignment and connectedness, we'll flow into solo, partner, and group improvisational movement. Along the way, we'll pause and hold space to reflect and integrate as a group. No dance experience needed! 
Side effects may include: spontaneous joy, emotional release, and feelings of oneness.

Natural Law is the living intelligence that underlies everything, the rhythms, patterns, and principles that keep the universe in harmony. When we understand and align with these laws, life begins to flow with more ease, clarity, and coherence.

In this workshop, we explore Natural Law through the body, breath, and lived experience. You’ll learn how energy moves through your field, how thoughts and stories shape your reality, and how to return to the pulse, the place where you operate in rhythm with Earth, truth, and your own inner knowing.
Together we uncover how:
• awareness shifts your whole field
• emotions influence your actions
• alignment organizes your reality
• you can live with more steadiness, clarity, and resonance
This is a practical, grounded introduction to Natural Law accessible to beginners and deeply validating for practitioners. You will leave with tools you can use immediately in your daily life. (Comes with a free pdf download of my natural law workbook)

Unlock your body's wisdom by discovering the power of the extraordinary, ancient system that keeps you alive: your nervous system. This workshop blends neuroscience and mindfulness to teach you how your stress-response system functions and provide practical tools to improve its resiliency. Through experiential breathwork and somatic practices, you'll learn to manage chronic stress and trauma, finding greater ease in daily life. This session is ideal for anyone seeking to understand their body's capacity to handle stress and learn to thrive.

Somatic Release Breathwork is a transformative embodiment practice that connects you to your body’s electrical network—the nervous system—helping release and alchemize stagnation and stuck emotions from repetitive thoughts, feelings, and old narratives. Using circular connected breathing and rhythmic music, it facilitates cathartic release—such as shaking, crying, or laughing—to clear blockages and restore balance to the nervous system. Many describe this experience as deeply transformative—akin to a plant medicine journey—for reclaiming true power and deepening into authenticity.

Pre-Breathwork Recommendations:

• ARRIVAL TIME: Please plan to arrive 10-15 minutes before 10 AM so we can begin promptly. Give yourself ample time to settle in (10-15 minutes) and begin to drop into the space and to your direct experience.
• FOOD: Please do NOT eat 2 hours before our session.
• LIQUIDS: Please refrain from drinking excessive amounts of fluid the morning of. Enough to stay hydrated, without feeling a lot of "fullness" in the belly. Caffeine is fine in the morning, if that is part of your routine.
• TO BRING:

• Water Bottle
• Journal
• *Optional but Recommended* Eye Mask (I recommend the Mindfold)

Drop into deep rest through a Yoga Nidra–inspired NSDR experience enhanced with tactile grounding and gentle movement. Using Calmware’s tactile tools, this guided practice supports nervous system regulation, helping quiet the mind, release stored tension, and access higher self activation.

In this deeply receptive state, participants are invited to let go of what no longer serves them and plant clear, embodied intentions. Rooted in ancient wisdom and modern neuroscience, this session offers a powerful reset before or after movement, music, or late-night celebration. No meditation experience required, just come as you are and rest.

Embodied Transcendence: Releasing What No Longer ServesTranscendence is not something we think our way into—it is something we embody.
This experiential workshop invites participants to move beyond the mind and into the wisdom of the body, where emotional patterns and limiting beliefs are often held. Through guided presence, sound, and Reiki attunement, we create a supportive container for the nervous system to soften, regulate, and release what is ready to be let go.
Sound and vibration support coherence and deeper states of awareness, allowing emotional energy to shift naturally—without force or fixing. No prior experience is needed; participants are invited to arrive exactly as they are.
This experience supports:
• Emotional and energetic release
• Nervous system regulation
• Embodied presence and clarity
• Integration of transcendence into daily life
Participants often leave feeling lighter, grounded, and deeply connected—carrying the resonance of the experience well beyond the workshop.
