Upcoming events
Slow Flow, Reiki Healing & Sonic Blessings
Join Mary Bue of Yojita Yoga (Musician + YACEP e-RYT 500, RYS 200) + Ingrid Weise (Reiki Healer, Artist) of Elektrisk Healing Artsfor a special workshop combining slow flow yoga-inspired movement, breath practices, and ending with an extended rest in savasana with individual Reiki healing mini-sessions with sonic blessings from Mary serenading you. This evening will provide two hours of basking in positive, intuitive & connecting energy.
There will be a short introductory session as we are settling in to learn about the practice, sonic blessings, and reiki healing before we begin.
Practice will start with Mary guiding us to connect to our breath, and grounding and centering visualizations. We’ll begin linking our breath to movement with gentle yoga asana to increase circulation, invite stretching and ease in the low back and hips, as well as exploring stability, flexiblity, and balance. Philosophy about energy channels from a yogic perspective (i.e. chakras and nadis) will be woven in.
Once in our final resting posture (savasana), Ingrid will approach each guest with their own personal mini Reiki healing session.
Reiki, an alternative healing practice originating in Japan in the early 20th century, is based on the idea that life force energy flows through all living beings. Reiki’s hand positions remove blockages in the energy flow, to reduce stress, alleviate pain, and support emotional well-being.
During this resting time, Mary will offer “sonic blessings” ~ an intuitive mix of mantras, songs for peace, and original music on piano, guitar, and more.
Our intentions for this collaboration are peace, groundedness, comfort, and delight. We cannot wait to share time with you!

Ganesh & New Beginnings
GANESH & New Beginnings: Yin, Yoga Nidra & Sonic Blessings with Tara Cindy Sherman + Mary Bue
Saturday, January 10th 2026 ~ 3-5:30pm
Twin Cities Friends Gathering
1725 Grand Ave, St Paul, MN 55105
Ganesh ~ Beloved Elephant headed deity of the Hindu pantheon, is said to bless new beginnings and remove obstacles from our path of growth and transformation for the benefit of all beings! We will offer yin and restorative postures, sonic blessings of mantra and original songs, and Yoga Nidra embedded with your sankalpa ~ a personal power statement of gratitude and manifestation to carry you into 2026, basking in the Shakti of 108 rounds of Ganesh's sacred extended seed syllable mantra. An auspicious event that Tara has been hosting for many many years and Mary has had the pleasure to assist for quite a few!
Yin yoga has a similar energy to that of the feminine aspect of Ganesh as it relates to the more inward, mysterious, feminine, and passive aspects of our being. Tara will guide you through a gentle and luscious practice of Yin Yoga while Mary serenades you with her siren-like voice, beautiful chants, songs and instrumentation. The experience ends with Tara leading you through the deeply relaxing practice of Yoga Nidra, wrapped in our intentions for the year to come, and culminates with more sonic blessings from Mary. Claim the time to enjoy a little slice of heaven in this auspicious time. Allow yourself to be immersed in the fruitful darkness and wisdom inherent in Ganesh, gatekeeper of our root chakra.
No experience necessary, feel free to even come and lay on the floor the whole time if you like, please bring your own mat, blankets and props, no open containers in meeting room
Kindly arrive no earlier than 2:45pm so we can set up the room lovingly for you!

Yin Yoga, Sonic Blessings & Yoga Nidra
Join Mary and Tara as they guide you through an evening of reflection and introspection on the auspicious portal of the WinterSolstice. Enjoy an evening of nurturing practices that help quiet the mind and calm your being. WinterSolstice, the longest night of the year, has long been celebrated as a time of sacred rest and reflection. It is considered to be the "great stillness" before the sun's strength builds and the days grow longer.
Yin yoga has a similar energy to that of the WinterSolstice as it relates to the more inward, mysterious, feminine, and passive aspects of our being. Tara will guide you through a gentle and luscious practice of Yin Yoga while Mary serenades you with her siren-like voice, beautiful chants, songs and instrumentation. The experience ends with Tara leading you through the deeply relaxing practice of Yoga Nidra and culminates with more sonic blessings from Mary.
