Lion's Gate Community Festival

A Free Community Festival Celebrating Connection, Creativity & the Lion’s Gate Portal

After the incredible success of our Summer Solstice Celebration, Insumataq Studio is thrilled to invite our community back for an even bigger evening of music, movement, healing, and celebration.

The Lion’s Gate Portal is celebrated every year on August 8 (8/8) and is often seen as a symbolic time for renewal, transformation, abundance, courage, and stepping into your highest potential. While people celebrate it in different ways, at its heart it’s an invitation to reflect on where you’ve been, set intentions for where you’re going, and connect more deeply with yourself and those around you.

At Insumataq, we believe transformation happens through community.

This event isn’t about following a particular belief system—it’s about creating a space where people from all walks of life can gather, celebrate, and enjoy an unforgettable summer evening together.

New to Insumataq? This class was created just for you.

Hot Yoga in Auburn at Insumataq Studio

At Insumataq Studio, we believe lasting transformation begins with the body.

Through movement, breath, meditation, music, and holistic healing practices, we help you reconnect with yourself, regulate your nervous system, support the release of stored emotional patterns, and cultivate greater balance, resilience, and well-being.

Whether you’re seeking movement, healing, personal growth, or a supportive community, you’ll find a welcoming space where you can reconnect, restore, and remember who you are.

Insumataq was born from a moment that changed everything.

Six years ago, I was completing my master’s journey in plant medicine—a profound initiation into becoming an asa paqo and modern medicine woman. During that time, I experienced a 12-hour encounter walking with Jesus. 

As someone who isn’t religious, it was unexpected—but deeply clear. I was called to create a space for community. Not a traditional church, but a place where people gather to reconnect with their inner truth. Read More.

Wellness Workshops

Ecstatic Dance

Ecstatic dance is a form of dance in which participants move freely to the rhythm of the music, without following specific steps or choreography. The uninhibited movement often leads to a trance-like state and a profound feeling of ecstasy.

Unchoreographed and deeply intuitive, ecstatic dance has been practiced for centuries in spiritual and shamanic traditions, serving as a gateway for self-discovery, healing, and self-care.

As the name suggests, Ecstatic Dance often leads to a feeling of pure joy and transcendence. It is more than just movement—it’s a deeply personal and transformative journey where the dancer connects with their inner self through the power of rhythm and free expression.

Deep Breathwork Journey

Release • Reset • Remember

A Guided Somatic Breathwork Experience

There is a wisdom within your breath that has been with you since the moment you were born.

When life becomes overwhelming, our bodies often hold onto stress, grief, fear, anxiety, and emotions that never had the opportunity to fully move through us. Over time, these experiences can become stored in our nervous system, influencing how we feel, think, relate to others, and experience the world.

A Deep Breathwork Journey offers a safe and supportive space to reconnect with your body, quiet the mind, and gently release what no longer serves you.

Through intentional breathing, guided somatic awareness, carefully selected music, and a nurturing environment, you’ll be invited into a deeper relationship with yourself—one where healing doesn’t come from fixing who you are, but from remembering who you’ve always been.

During This Journey You May Experience

  • Nervous system regulation
  • Emotional release and healing
  • Greater mental clarity
  • Deep relaxation and inner peace
  • Release of stress, tension, and stored emotions
  • Greater self-love and compassion
  • A deeper connection to your intuition
  • A renewed sense of presence and vitality

Every experience is unique. Some participants describe feeling lighter, more grounded, deeply rested, or emotionally clear. Others simply experience profound relaxation and stillness. Whatever unfolds, you are encouraged to trust your own journey.

What to Expect

Our time together includes:

  • Grounding Meditation
  • Guided Somatic Breathwork Journey
  • Immersive Music Experience
  • Gentle Integration
  • Time for Reflection & Community Connection

No previous breathwork experience is necessary.

This class is appropriate for beginners as well as those with an established breathwork practice.

Please Bring

  • Yoga mat
  • Blanket
  • Pillow or bolster
  • Water bottle
  • Journal (optional)
  • Comfortable clothing

Is This Class Right for You?

This experience is designed for anyone feeling called to:

  • Release emotional heaviness
  • Reduce anxiety and overwhelm
  • Reconnect with their authentic self
  • Support nervous system regulation
  • Cultivate greater peace and resilience

Important Considerations

Breathwork is a powerful somatic practice. If you are pregnant, have uncontrolled high blood pressure, severe cardiovascular conditions, epilepsy, or other significant medical concerns, please consult your healthcare provider before participating and let your facilitator know prior to class.

Come Home to Yourself

Your breath has always known the way.

Allow yourself to slow down, soften, release, and reconnect with the wisdom already living within you.

Healing doesn’t happen because we become someone new.

Healing happens because we remember who we truly are.

We look forward to breathing with you.

In the spirit of service, love, and light.

 Everything, including businesses, consists of energy and is interconnected. By addressing energetic imbalances or “blockages” within a business or an individual’s professional life, Quantum Business Healing aims to clear away limiting beliefs, outdated patterns, and negative influences that may be holding the business back. Here are some key aspects:

1. Energy Alignment: Just as individuals have energy fields, businesses are seen as having their own unique energy, shaped by the people, culture, history, and intention behind them. Quantum Business Healing aims to align this energy to create a harmonious, high-vibration environment that supports growth.


2. Shifting Patterns and Beliefs: Often, unproductive habits, limiting beliefs, or unaddressed conflicts create “blocks” that can stagnate growth. Quantum healing techniques, such as energy clearing, intention setting, or meditative practices, help reframe these blocks into opportunities for growth.


3. Rewiring Business Mindsets: This involves helping leaders and team members adopt empowering, forward-focused mindsets. Quantum Business Healing often incorporates tools from NLP, PSYCH-K, and coaching to shift subconscious patterns that impact behavior and decision-making.


4. Intuitive Decision-Making: Emphasizing intuition as a powerful tool, Quantum Business Healing encourages leaders to trust insights that align with their vision, rather than relying solely on traditional data.


5. Holistic Strategy and Growth: It’s a practice that considers not just the financial growth but also the health, purpose, and sustainability of the business. It encourages a balance of profit with purpose, aiming for a positive impact on the community, environment, and stakeholders.

In essence, Quantum Business Healing views a business as a living, evolving entity and uses a mix of ancient wisdom, modern psychology, and business acumen to help it flourish. It’s especially valuable for leaders and organizations seeking deep transformation beyond the typical corporate strategies.

Psychic surgery involves addressing emotional traumas or physical discomfort without the use of physical instruments.

Discomfort or illness may arise from imbalances in the body's energy system or unresolved emotional issues.

The healer identifies the root cause of the individual's discomfort and works on their energy field using spiritual tools such as hands, crystals, or ceremonial objects.

This practice seeks to release blockages and heal past traumas, resulting in emotional release, catharsis, and healing.

Personal and Business Breakthroughs with NLP, PSYCH-K, and Reprogramming

Achieving a breakthrough—whether personal or business—often requires a deep shift in mindset and the reprogramming of long-held beliefs. Techniques like NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), PSYCH-K, and subconscious reprogramming offer powerful tools for creating these shifts, enabling profound and lasting transformation.

Personal Breakthroughs

In personal growth, breakthrough sessions using NLP, PSYCH-K, and reprogramming help you:

  • Release Limiting Beliefs: We often carry subconscious beliefs that hinder our ability to feel fulfilled or empowered. Techniques like NLP and PSYCH-K work at a deep level to uncover and transform these patterns, creating a stronger, more resilient mindset.
  • Heal Emotional Blocks: Past experiences and traumas can leave emotional imprints that hold us back. Reprogramming exercises can release these blocks, promoting emotional freedom, confidence, and inner peace.
  • Enhance Self-Empowerment: Reprogramming techniques help strengthen positive beliefs, encouraging self-love, resilience, and clarity in pursuing your goals.
  • Connect with Your Purpose: Through these techniques, you can better understand your true self and align your actions with your core values, leading to a fulfilling life path.

Business Breakthroughs

In the business realm, NLP, PSYCH-K, and reprogramming are incredibly effective for:

  • Shifting Success Mindsets: Breaking through limiting beliefs around money, leadership, or worthiness can have a huge impact on your business. These techniques help rewire your mindset to embrace growth, wealth, and success.
  • Building Effective Communication Skills: NLP is a powerful tool for enhancing communication, enabling you to connect better with your team, clients, and partners, and fostering stronger relationships in your business.
  • Boosting Creativity and Problem-Solving: Reprogramming the mind allows you to overcome fear-based thinking, opening up a world of innovation and resourcefulness.
  • Achieving a Work-Life Balance: These techniques don’t just help with productivity—they also encourage a mindset that values balance, reducing burnout and creating sustainable success.

What to Expect in a Breakthrough Session

  • Insightful Self-Discovery: You’ll uncover patterns and beliefs you didn’t realize were influencing you.
  • Powerful Reprogramming: We use NLP, PSYCH-K, and other reprogramming exercises to release limiting beliefs and replace them with empowering ones.
  • Practical Action Steps: Breakthrough sessions don’t just provide insight; they also give you actionable steps to implement positive changes in your daily life or business.

With these tools, you can unlock a future where you’re no longer limited by past conditioning, allowing you to live and work with freedom, clarity, and purpose.

Own Your Journey

Psychic surgery is a practice aimed at addressing emotional traumas or physical discomfort without the use of traditional physical instruments.

Discomfort or illness can stem from imbalances within the body’s energy system or unresolved emotional issues.

In a psychic surgery session, the healer and the individual work together to create a sacred, safe space, often calling upon spiritual guides or energies to assist in the healing process.

The healer assesses the root cause of the individual’s ailment, then manipulates their energy field using spiritual tools such as hands, crystals, or ceremonial objects.

This process helps clear energy blockages and past traumas, resulting in a sense of release, emotional catharsis, and healing.

Womb Healing

It's a journey of profound transformation and empowerment, and I'm committed to walking alongside you every step of the way, providing guidance and support.

The space within the womb serves as an emotional storage unit, akin to a cluttered drawer where we stash away memories of past relationships, lovers, and emotional experiences, as well as trauma.

These energetic imprints often remain hidden in our subconscious, creating barriers within our womb space (or the Hara for men), which can impede our emotional and spiritual growth.

Moreover, the womb space is not merely a repository of emotional baggage; it also serves as a source of profound wisdom and creative energy.

It is the place where we give birth not only to new life but also to fresh ideas, projects, and intentions. This birthing process extends beyond the physical realm, encompassing energetic manifestations of our aspirations and endeavors.

However, when energetic blocks accumulate within this space, located in our sacral chakra, we may feel stuck and disconnected.

Without the free flow of our vital life force energy, known as Shakti, clarity eludes us, and our potential remains untapped.

Our wombs are sacred portals through which spirit enters the physical realm, whether it be in the form of a newborn baby or the inspiration to manifest an idea. Recognizing and addressing these energetic blocks is crucial for unleashing our creative power and reclaiming our inherent clarity and strength.

I'm dedicated to creating a safe and nurturing environment where you can navigate and heal any emotional pain or grief you may be carrying, whether it stems from experiences like miscarriage, stillbirth, or abortions. Each session is tailored to your individual needs and circumstances, prioritizing deep relaxation and inner healing.

Own Your Journey

During our sessions, we'll create a safe and supportive environment where you can relax deeply and access the depths of your subconscious mind.

Through gentle guidance and hypnosis techniques, we'll explore the possibility of past lives and the potential influence they may have on your present experiences.

It's important to approach this process with an open heart and an open mind, allowing whatever memories or insights that arise to be acknowledged and processed without judgment.

The benefits of past life regression therapy are vast. By delving into past lives, we may uncover patterns, traumas, or unresolved issues that are impacting your current life.

Bringing these to light can lead to profound healing and transformation.

Throughout our sessions, I'll be here to support you every step of the way, offering guidance and encouragement as you navigate this deeply personal journey.

Together, we'll work towards releasing any emotional or energetic blockages that may be holding you back and empowering you to live your life more fully and authentically.

It's important to remember that the experiences and insights you gain during past life regression therapy are deeply personal and subjective. While some may approach this work from a spiritual perspective, others may view it through a more psychological lens. Whatever your beliefs may be, my role is to support you in your journey towards greater self-awareness and healing.

The Healing Power of Plant Medicine

By exploring different plants, such as ayahuasca, psilocybin mushrooms, or herbal remedies, you may uncover deeper insights about yourself and your life’s purpose. This journey encourages self-discovery, healing, and balance, guiding you towards a more harmonious existence.

CACAO CEREMONY

These ceremonies typically involve guided meditation, music, and sharing, creating a communal space for self-reflection and emotional release. By engaging with cacao in this way, individuals can tap into their intuition, foster creativity, and promote healing, making it a powerful practice for personal growth and connection.

RE-TRAIN YOUR BRAIN

Each moment of growth adds depth, like the layers of flavor in a hearty stew, transforming obstacles into stepping stones for future success.
