Corrective Movement, Exercise, & Performance Class with Dr. SAM

Saturday August 15, 2026 8:30am - 9:30am PDT

Nurse's station

Many people spend lots of time exercising, but may often neglect how they're really moving. Learning to move correctly is paramount for not only feeling good, but also performing well and preventing injuries. Your survival may even depend on your ability to move well when needed.

In his fun Exercise Lab Classes, Dr. SAM will address questions about specific exercises. Tips and strategies for correct posture, breathing, and body mechanics for specific basic movement patterns will be addressed — such as pulling, pushing, squatting, lunging, bending, lifting, balancing and more. You will also learn corrective strategies that are often considered “the missing piece of fitness” that can improve your success.

There will definitely be some 'golden nuggets' taken from these classes as it pertains to improving your overall health, fitness, and performance in life. Dr. SAM's exercise classes were highly attended in years past, and will most likely be so again this year. Whether or not you're a seasoned athlete or just slightly fit, this class will have something valuable to offer you. This class is for all fitness levels, so come join the group.

Breathing: Energized Meditation with Dr. SAM

Saturday August 15, 2026 10:00am - 11:00am PDT

In this experience, we will be going on a fun and playful breathing and healing journey together. The power of the breath will be combined with beat driven music and conscious movement to help us connect to the divine beings that we are. People often experience emotional and spiritual cleansing, ecstatic states of bliss, and the rewiring of their nervous system.

This experience is a form of active meditation. We will move, breathe, and focus our intention in way to facilitate positive transformation within the group and the world. Our ancestors used music and breath to help guide, align, cleanse, and shape the world around them. We will tap into this primordial wisdom as we energize the body, heart-mind, and spirit through the power of sound, breath, and movement.

If you've experienced Dr. SAM's classes and workshops in before, then you know they are fun and empowering — and will be a great investment of your time and energy again.

True Hunger and Emotional Eating with Chris Kendall

Saturday August 15, 2026 1:00pm - 2:00pm PDT

Most people have never actually felt true hunger, and even fewer have a fully conscious relationship with why they eat when they do. This talk digs into what true hunger actually is, what it isn’t, and how learning to tell the difference can completely transform your relationship with food. We’ll explore emotional eating without judgment, why those patterns exist, how they once served us, and how understanding them becomes a gift rather than a source of shame. Practical, personal, and one of the most liberating conversations you can have on the raw vegan path.
