Greetings, Explorers -
Welcome to those of you who are new to The Heart Space Center, and to those who have been around for a while, welcome back!
As we move into Summer months, lives seem to get more full of activities, togetherness, and doing.
With more light in our day, there seems to be more time to do.
But what if we didn’t do more?
What if we welcomed the sun to help us slow down a little? Welcome it to direct us to what helps us grow more fully? Like sunflowers reaching up, up, up, towards the sun as they grow from sipping up the sun’s radiance, let’s we, too, take advantage (and with gratitude!) of the extra sunlight, with intention. Let’s mindfully go to where the sun is directing us.
This feeling has been present on my heart as I’ve noticed lately an almost addictive feeling towards my phone.
Relatable?!?!
Of course it is! It’s 2026. We all have devices.
If you’re subscribed to this newsletter, you are likely interested in what more you can get from, and offer to, this big, beautiful world 🌍💞 (and thank you for that, btw! 🙏🏼). And more often than not, what pulls us into our phones isn’t going to be the answer.
We all know this. I’m just saying.
Instead of looking to ChatGPT, social media, or the other plethora of apps and information buzzing from our devices, let’s invite these longer days to welcome us to look towards the sun for more direction. For more guidance. Invite it to help light your way as you journey into the vast wisdom and knowledge within YOU, that is always there.
And of course I invite you to explore 1:1 work with me if you’re feeling the call to look more deeply inward. From bodywork to somatic healing through breath and exploration, mindful meditation and more - I would love to meet you there! You can book a consultation today - and if you’re interested in pranassage, you can skip the consultation and book your session right away!
More on booking a discounted Pranassage session, below.
If you’re not ready for 1:1 work, (and even if you are!) we also have some great group offerings coming up! Checkout what we’ve got coming your way; updates, new offerings, POPUPS, and more! If you’re called to join for any of it, I would love to see you there:

SURPRISE! I’m offering a special POPUP Somatic Breathwork Ceremony to celebrate the SECOND full moon in May.
Join me Saturday, May 30 from 4pm-6pm at Ananda Yoga Space!
According to EarthSky, Blue Moons happen seven times every 19 years!
So, let’s tune in, together, to the rarity of this opportunity. Let’s open to the unexpected. Let’s breathe into what’s unseen. Let’s harness the magic of this Blue Moon together, in community, with intention and breath.
Registration will open soon! If you’d like to be one of the first to receive the registration link, email me via the “more info, please” button below👇🏼

That said, these offerings are shared monthly so please email darcy@theheartspacecenter.org to receive details for future silent early morning/sunrise hiking meditations.
February 19-26, 2027
Casa Kia Ora in Dominicalito
Join me to offer food for Your heart in the lush jungle of Costa Rica, near one of my favorite Costa Rican beaches, Dominicalito!
Our time together will begin, intentionally, on the full moon of February 19, 2027.🌕 During our time together we will have:
Plenty of spaciousness to be.
Practices to immerse into.
Moments of connection.
Joyful adventure.
Depening into our Selves as we deepen back into the Mother and all the wisdom nature has to share with us - particularly when we truly pause to listen.
We have a new vacancy in the previously sold-out Sabitha Cabinas!
The final Sabitha Cabina is available for single or double bookings, and helps you save a little bit on your retreat by staying just a little further away from the main group activities and meals.
Save a little bit on your Costa Rica Retreat by booking this NEWLY AVAILABLE cabina today before it’s snagged up!
We also still have a few Royal Sabitha Cabina retreat packages available for single or double bookings. You’ll pay a little more to stay as close as possible to where all group activities and meals will be hosted.
Let me help make the connection!
There is a female seeking a female roommate for the Costa Rica retreat. You can save close to $1k when you book a shared cabina!
If you’re interested in joining but don’t have anyone in mind to join with you and are open to rooming with another attendee, please email darcy@theheartspacecenter.org for more details.
Interest-free payment plans
I want this retreat to be as accessible as possible, so we’re offering interest-free payment plans to opt into if you’d like! Learn more through the links below about the retreat, payment plan option, and more!

Throwback to the opening message in this newsletter.
I mentioned noticing a heavier pull towards my phone recently.
I’ve noticed it the past month or so.
And did you know?!?!...
...The average American checks their phone 205 times….that is TWO HUNDRED AND FIVE TIMES….a DAY!
Feeling that pull towards my phone hasn’t felt great. I don’t enjoy it - at all. I’m aware of it, and I continue to feel the pull….with awareness it doesn’t just go away. I have to make changes for the pull to eventually release me.
For me, mostly, the pull to the phone is to listen to audio books. Books are great, sure! Reading is wonderful, yes! But this doesn’t negate I’m feeling a pull to my device. A constant pull. And I’m ready for a change.
I’m sharing this because a new podcast I’ve been tuning into, recommended by a dear friend, had a recent episode, “How to find the meaning of your life” which inspired me to start making the little changes to be free of that pull. The pull to the phone still feels pretty fresh and new to me, and, it’s so constant that I am SO ready to be rid of it!
This episode was an amazing listen, if you have a couple of hours here or there (tune in here, tune in there…) to check it out. Taking in this episode helped me examine the pull to my phone in a different way. It helped remind me to look out and start making little changes to free myself before it (*gasp!*) gets worst (OMG, I can’t imagine!!).
I’ve done a lot of work, and I continue to do the work. I hope I never STOP doing the work. Because the work is never done. As much as we feel we’ve made progress (I know I have!….and I trust you have, too!) we face hiccups…bumps along the road. We may stumble, backpedal, and lose direction.
It doesn’t mean we’ve failed.
Quite the contrary!
The first key to knowing we haven’t failed is just that….knowing! We have an awareness that we’ve stumbled. And hopefully (more importantly, perhaps?), we can also offer ourselves compassion when we trip, stumble, fall.
Then we get up.
We continue to look in….to get out.
Put the damn phone down.
Let yourself be in silence.
In stillness.
In presence.
Because that’s all we have.
This moment.
I appreciated this reminder myself so much, that I invite you to take a listen to this beautiful episode if it piques your interest or speaks to you in any way.
