You don't have to do anything in this session besides receive. Step inside the cozy, protected sanctuary of the Healing Yurt for an immersive experience where the sound does the work for you. Often described as "the thing that finally worked when everything else felt like effort," this sound bath is designed to be a complete vacation for your nervous system.
Led by Mariel Serrano—a trauma-informed sound healer, yoga teacher, and specialist working at the intersection of applied psychology and somatic practice—this session combines crystal singing bowls, intentional breathwork, and guided meditation. Mariel skillfully creates a safe, deeply grounded environment that your nervous system can trust. This session is intentionally accessible to absolutely everyone—including people who have never stepped into a wellness space before, and people who feel like they’ve been in too many. Come as you are, lay down, and let the vibration restore you.
Join us at the Main Stage Field on Friday evening for our brief, powerful opening ceremony to kick off the Denver Yoga Summit. Hosted by our fantastic emcee Jordan White, this session features a beautiful land acknowledgment that will have us feeling connected to each other and the land, rooted in presence and respect by Indigenous educator Sequoia Garza-Keith. Summit founder Brittany Hopkins Switlick will then open the container, setting our shared intentions for the magical three days ahead. Come ground your feet on the earth, meet the community that will spend the weekend on the mats around you, and get ready for an unforgettable Denver Yoga Summit!
The Summit officially begins here. You’ve spent two hours exploring the marketplace, finding your bearings, and/or meeting the souls on the mats around you. At 6:00 PM, we officially gather as a collective. Sequoia Garza Keith will open the portal, introducing us to the sacred land beneath our feet and to each other, giving us space to arrive fully and set a unified intention for the three days ahead.
Then, Mose takes the Main Stage.
As a globally touring producer and DJ, Mose creates at the vibrant intersection of global rhythms, medicine songs, and ancestral melodies. He spends extended periods in deep retreat and silence between tours; what he brings back is music that feels less like a performance and more like a transformative passage. His sole intention is to open something dormant within each of us.
The journey begins in stillness. By the end, everyone on the Main Stage field is moving as one living, breathing wave. You won't quite know how you got from one to the other—only that you arrived together.
The elements: The sun will set over the dramatic Rocky Mountain foothills at 7:30 PM. You are outside. It is September in Colorado. There is no controlled version of this experience, and we wouldn't want one. This is not the pregame—this is the first moment we are all together. It is an experience you will carry home in your bones.
