“Trey Carland embodies perfectly the quote, “still waters run deep.” I happened upon Trey several years ago through his spiritual awakening group. From this experience, Trey appeared to me as a wise Sage. Trey is accepting and patient with people. His demeanor is calm and loving. For me, it was evident that the stillness of Trey’s soul, is like a shimmering river that runs endlessly, with much depth. With celebration, I am blessed for having him as a friend. ” ~ John K.

James Gregory, dubbed “the funniest man in America,” has been performing home-spun comedy to sold-out crowds for over 25 years. Delivering common-sense wisdom, old-fashioned values, and politically-incorrect humor, Gregory is known for rib-tickling reflections on life from the front porch.
Refusing the vulgar and profane, Gregory instead relies on a wry sense of the absurd, a southern accent, and universal storytelling – often drawn from his own life – to create an evening of non-stop laughter. The ridiculous, the common, and sometimes even the simplest events all become hilarious in the hands of this master storyteller and world-class comedian.
Gregory can be heard weekly on syndicated radio shows such as Rick and Bubba, John Boy and Billy, and Bob and Tom.

“James Gregory doesn’t take the stage, he takes the room.” – The Seattle Times

We hold space for the discovery of inner peace and stillness through the full embodiment of experience. When we accept and allow all of our thoughts, emotions, and sensations, and hold those with stillness, the elements merge and become something new. This healing practice embraces all of you- your anger, jealousy, desire, joy, and self loathing- – and cultivates a deeper integration towards wholeness. Our offerings have a strong focus on integrating the practice into daily living through exploring movement, song, dance, eating, loving, etc. Join Keli and Karin for an introduction to this healing practice of Embodying It All.
This free event has a cap of 8 people. Please register to reserve your spot. https://forms.gle/utLKcfCEeowzP2i48
