Soma Ranch

da horses and donkeys are getting their “nails” done today. It’s a beautiful day to be at Soma Ranch today.

our neighbors, P-6 Farm, are open today, the weather is cool and how lovely to add a little mud for your full farm experience!

🎃 YES, WE’RE OPEN TODAY! 👢

Pull on your rubber boots—the mud didn’t get the memo! 😂 Come enjoy a little mud and a whole lot of fall fun at P-6 Farms!

🚗 Parking lot heads-up: Our usual exit is too muddy, so please exit the same way you came in.

17 Years of Soma Ranch And Still Evolving
What a beautiful way to celebrate 17 years of Soma Ranch!
To everyone who joined us online and in person for our birthday celebration thank you! Your presence, your energy, your laughter, your movement, and your love made this milestone especially meaningful to Joe and Helen.

And as our birthday gift to you, enjoy the replay of our birthday class (BELOW), a little piece of the celebration you can enjoy, share with a friend, as a reminder of this wonderful Soma journey.
We have such deep appreciation for everyone who has been part of this journey with us. Seventeen years holds a lot of stories, friendships, movement, laughter, learning, and love. We are incredibly grateful for every person who has helped make Soma what it is today.

A SPECIAL THANK YOU FOR OUR MONTHLY CUPPA
We were especially touched by all the fabulous ladies who stayed on for our monthly cuppa and birthday gathering. One thing that continues to move us is seeing how many people are willing to drive significant distances to attend public classes at Soma Ranch. Your commitment to Soma, to movement, and to being together means more than you may realize.
And together, we raised $88 toward our annual St. Jude fundraiser!

Thank you for your generosity and for making our monthly cuppa about more than tea—it becomes a beautiful opportunity to connect, catch up, laugh, share, and give.

THE EVOLVING CREATOR
This Saturday, Helen is teaching both morning classes, continuing our exploration of this month's archetype: The Creator.

THE EVOLVING CREATOR
Rather than simply asking:
“What can I create?”
We're asking “What am I becoming” and “What is ready to evolve through me?”

8:45 AM | SOMA 5 STAGES
We'll explore Embryonic, Creeping, Crawling, Crouching, and Walking as a beautiful metaphor for growth and evolution. With somatic movement, EFT tapping, and prayer, we'll explore letting go of what no longer serves us, trusting the process of becoming, and making room for what's emerging.
Honor who we've been.
Welcome who we're becoming.
Discover what is ready to evolve through us.

10:00 AM | SOMA FAITH MOVEMENT
Then… let's have some fun! 🎶
Inspired by longtime Soma participant Megan Freemantle, Helen has created an Evolution Playlist, reaching back through 33 years of teaching somatic movement to pull out some of her all-time favorite songs.

We'll dance, play, remember, and discover what these beloved songs can inspire in us now.

Evolution doesn't mean leaving our history behind.
We take what has moved us, build upon it, and allow it to become something new.

Come move with us this morning.
Come celebrate where we've been.
Come explore where we're going.
Come discover what is ready to evolve through you.

BE. BEAUTIFUL EVOLUTION.

Thank you everyone who has already shared a review on Nextdoor for us. We are fascinated how the app creates its own description of Soma Ranch gleaned from folks comments and reviews... what do you think?

"Soma Ranch in Montgomery, TX is emerging as a quiet favorite within the local farm and agriculture community. Recommendations convey genuine appreciation, capturing Soma Ranch as a welcoming destination that resonates with visitors and supporters. While brief, the available feedback suggests a positive, gratitude-inspiring experience that aligns well with the spirit of a modern, mindful agricultural retreat. Positioned within the Agriculture and Forestry Service space, Soma Ranch stands out as a serene, potentially hidden gem where people feel moved to say “thanks” for their time there. This tone of appreciation hints at thoughtful stewardship and an environment that leaves a lasting, favorable impression—qualities that business and lifestyle readers often associate with distinctive, high-quality farm experiences in the Texas countryside."

howdy! here’s the latest Soma News….

Helen & Joe are back from a fabulous time at our Soma Hiker’s Retreat Cabin in the foothills of the Olympic National Park. (more amazing photos to follow). For now we wanted to remind you about the upcoming fabulous classes and next Hero Journey Month (August, The Jester).

Natasha is teaching tomorrow, Saturday morning classes online. Helen will lead Monday 10am class, live at Soma (and online via zoom) with a most requested experience “Look Up”. This moving experience, to the music of Lauren Daigle, was one of the strong influences that encouraged Helen to create the Soma Faith Movement we have been developing this year.

Regular class rates apply. These classes are included in the 30 day Hero Journey Package.

LOOKING INTO AUGUST: THE JESTOR

Cultivating Joy, Playfulness, and Presence

As we move into August, we enter the refreshing space of The Jester archetype: the part of us that invites laughter, creativity, curiosity, and joy into everyday life. Through movement, meditation, EFT, prayer, and our new monthly SoundScapes, we'll learn how compassion becomes sustainable when it flows from a heart that is continually renewed.

Live classes

Dance breaks

EFT tapping sessions

Additional teachings and resources

Community support and inspiration

If you've been considering joining, now is a wonderful time to sign up and journey with us.

Thank you for being part of this incredible community.

Be well, with love from

Helen, Joe, the team and all the fond 4 legged friends at Soma.

Huge shout out to Cork This Tap That! We drive by all the time, but Tuesday was our first time going to Singo Bingo and it was an absolute blast! The staff was amazing, the DJ was a total hoot, and we loved how he got the whole place singing along. Everything was well organized from start to finish.

Karla, the owner, is incredible, she even remembered us though we hadn’t seen her in years! (since “Cork This” was in Montgomery) And to top it all off, Helen accidentally left her purse there with cash inside. They texted us the next morning to let us know they had it safe and sound. That kind of honesty and care says everything about this place.

We are really lucky to have places and people like this in our community. These businesses work hard to create spaces where people can gather, laugh, connect, and feel welcomed.

Supporting local businesses is really important, these are folks who truly care about the people who walk through their doors, and that kind of heart is difficult to find.

As Montgomery develops like “any town USA” we really appreciate and want to support the unique independent businesses. (we hope this post helps get the word out!)

Can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend checking them out if you’re anywhere near Dobbin! or simply want to take a short drive for a fabulous entertaining experience….

or perhaps we create an overnight retreat here at Soma? we can include a fieldtrip over to CTTT (it’s 5 mins up the road) then back for bonfire and s’mores at Soma?
