Epic summer vacations are nice, but there's something to be said about a simple day trip. Here in western Oregon, it's incredibly easy to find any number of beautiful day trips, with the ocean, mountains, forest, rivers and desert all found within a three-hour radius. On this week's episode of Peak Northwest, we dive into a few great options for this summer. Day trips prove that you don't need a big budget or lengthy itinerary to enjoy an adventure –you don't even need a car. As you make your summer vacation plans, consider these local excursions that make vacation quick, easy and (relatively) stress free. Here are some highlights from this week's show: The key to dealing with Cannon Beach traffic jams? Go by bus. Breitenbush Hot Springs is a perfect place to unwind for the day. Day hikes big and small are found in the Tillamook State Forest. You'll never see everything on the Fruit Loop in one day, but that's probably for the best.

This episode's conversation is with dear friend and fellow healing artist Chetana Barkan. Chetana and I were massage therapists out at Breitenbush Hot Springs in the early aughts, and, similarly, have found ways to weave our bodywork into a broader practice that acknowledges the deeply imbedded traumas that impact our abilities to show up as our most authentic selves. You can find more information about the transformative benefits of Chetana's work here: http://chetanalaurenbarkan.com/.

Join me for Paranoia Happy Hour with Rachel! Rachel tells the tale of being taunted by a leprechaun as a child. Are leprechauns real? Was it a parent or teacher? Join us for this lighthearted tale and some wild speculation. We also have our first uncanny valley dating tale! This dating tale takes place at Breitenbush Hot Springs, where the water is warm and clothing is optional. Fun fact, at age eleven I saw a naked man doing yoga in the sauna at Breitenbush and it was... let's say... educational. Thanks to my god mom, Tillie, featured in happy hour seven, for that piece of education. Oh, and I get REAL about dating in this episode.Rachel's Boo Club: Ghost Adventures Description from IMDB: “Are you ready for the lockdown? Ghost Adventures crew -- Zak Bagans, Aaron Goodwin, Billy Tolley, and Jay Wasley -- is back to investigate the scariest, most notorious, haunted places in the world. The trio will interview eyewitnesses and historians at each location, arming themselves with the stories of the ghosts they will later provoke and confront during their dusk-to-dawn lockdowns. (Note: They don't always come out unscathed!) Then they'll review and analyze their findings with some of the most respected experts and specialists in the paranormal field.”Rachel's Shares not ScaresLean into the compliment that someone is sharing with you!

Hey Tribe! Today I had an EPIC conversation with Dana Trixie Flynn, one of the most inspiring yoga teachers out there. Dana owns TWO yoga studios. One is called The Church of Yoga in New Orleans and the other is called Laughing Lotus, which has various locations including San Francisco. She has been teaching over 28 years. She brings so much wisdom and happiness to this episode. This convo was also REALLY COOL because I got to meet Dana IRL aka IN REAL LIFE! She just happened to be in San Francisco. She came over to my apartment, and we had a rad conversation about being connected and the importance of laughing together. She is an amazing human and an outstanding yoga teacher that understands yoga from the deepest perspective. We discuss all things yoga and how to step into our own individual awesomeness. She also presents a great reminder that joy is now and how we are all connected.

I am so honored to have my new friend Mary Ochsner on the show! Mary and I met through the guys that helped to create our apps and then connected through Instagram! We then met IRL when she visited San Francisco! We became friends and enjoy talking about all things yoga. What really sparked my interest about Mary was that she creates the awesome tutorials for all yogis. She makes yoga really accessible to beginners and is really passionate about getting people on their mat. She reassures all of her students that it is okay to be in their bodies exactly as they are. It’s an honor and pleasure to have her on the show.Follow Mary on Instagram @maryochsnerThis show is sponsored by Breitenbush Hot Springs https://breitenbush.com/MUSIC: Process by 92elmSUPPORT THE SHOW: If you find this podcast valuable you can support it directly by visiting https://dannipomplun.com/support/WRITE A REVIEW: If you like the podcast, please leave a review or rating on iTunes!

Language is powerful for both students and teachers and as teachers we have a responsibility to ourselves and the yoga students to be authentic and cautious with what we say.

Listen in as herbalist Dana Aronson talks all about the beautiful motherwort! Motherwort’s latin name, Leonurus cardiaca, is depicted from the Greek word leon (lion), ouros (tail), and cardiaca, giving meaning to the heart. This sheds light to the common name, Lion’s Heart. In Europe, the name “motherwort,” has a literal meaning of “mother-herb.” With both of these names, this gives a small peek into the medical properties of this plant we know as Motherwort.

The wild feminine lives within each one of us. It can take time to acknowledge and connect with, but it is never separate from us, or accessed externally. The soul is brilliant, and when we drop from our heads to our hearts, tap into our own source of divine power, and listen to and honor our soul’s deepest desires, this is where the magic happens.I am honored and overwhelmed, with sisterly pride, to write our podcast summary this week. Ellen interviewed my own sister, Ashley Shenk, about her self-love journey, finding the courage to embrace her wild feminine energy, and her experiences living and working in intentional communities and how that has contributed to finding contentment and voicing her innermost, authentic truth.Ashley grew up in the forests of Oregon, surrounded by nature, but has only recently developed an intimate relationship with Mother Nature. As a child, she felt separate from the natural world, an outsider looking in. Nature was something to look at, rather than connect with. Living in eco-communities shifted the way she interacted with the natural world, which then altered the relationship she had with her own inner being. The more she became connected to nature, the more she connected to her self. The more she became connected to her self, the more she became connected to nature. The two are one in the same.She now lives and works at Breitenbush Hot Springs, a holistic healing retreat in the Cascade mountain range, where she leads Nature Alter workshops for the guests and staff. Through these workshops, she provides people with opportunities to physically and symbolically connect with earth and her energies; to tell stories, create art, and take pleasure in the sacred act of doing, simply to express oneself.“We are of nature, we are not separate from it. We are born from it, we will return to it, we eat it, it gives us energy. We are it.”Witnessing my older sister transform over the past couple of years into the radiant woman that stands beside me today has been a journey in itself. As the younger sister, I often find myself watching from the shore as Ashley hops across the river, leaping from one rock to the next with unmatchable grace and shrieks of excitement. From the deepest parts of my core, I honor her and her gentle determination to finding and expressing her soul’s voice.We hope you find the inspiration and the courage you need in her words.
