Aspen Monarch Events
Aspen Monarch Events focus on creating a warm community where we can explore together in a way that feels safe, fun, connected and expansive.
We keep our live and virtual events small and intimate to ensure quality and connection. Please check out our upcoming events listed below, and check back soon as we are always adding new events!
A fun fact about us is that since we are in the business of helping humans, we do not use AI to generate our workshops, course content or other resources that we provide. 100 percent certified organic human experience is what you will find here :)
The Art Of Compassion Workshop Series
This is a two weekend workshop. Weekend one orients us to the concept and theory of compassion and weekend two provides the tools, meditations and practical applications of what we have learned. See below for dates and times.
In an increasingly emotionally charged and divided world, the capacity to understand what compassion is, and cultivate it in an authentic way, without bypassing honest emotion, is an essential skill to develop. Sitting at the intersection of attachment theory, somatic integration therapy, yoga, buddhist meditation and cognitive science this workshop will help guide you into learning not only about compassion, but how to create and sustain an inner harmony and coherence while the world around you shifts and polarizes in difficult times. What you learn can be applied to your family life, your workplace, your friendships and all your relationships - even your relationships to polarizing figures and events on the world stage. Now more than ever, inner calm through the outer storm is a skill that keeps us anchored in the present moment and grounded in resilience and helpful, meaningful action.
In this workshop you will learn:
What compassion is
What the blocks to compassion are
How to address those blocks
Tools you can use each day to process the experiences you are having and world events that are occuring
How to cultivate compassion in a way that doesn’t bypass the challenges we face
What is suffering and what happens when suffering is more prevalent than harmony
How you can create inner coherence independent of external events while still participating in external events
Ancient wisdom teachings that are very relevant to today
The current research that suggests human beings ARE inherently good and cooperative by nature and how to tune into and operate from that place of care for yourself and others
How to be compassionate without experiencing compassion or caretaking fatigue
Tools to apply compassion to your daily life and relationships
Weekend One:
August 22nd 9:00 - 3:00 PST and August 23rd 9:00 - 1:00 PST
Weekend Two:
September 12th 9:00 am - 3:00pm PST and September 13th 9:00 - 1:00 PST

Learning To Let Go
Learning to let go is not as easy as it sounds. Most of us struggle to release the things that keep us tight and tethered to the past. When we do not integrate our experiences or surrender to what is, our bodies and minds become rigid causing all kinds of tension and stress within our being. Through learning to digest the experiences we have had, we can begin the process of learning to surrender to life as it is in the present moment. This workshop is designed to teach about letting go, specifically about what stops us from letting go, how to learn to let go, and how to stop looping in the past and create presence in our minds, hearts and bodies. We invite you to bring a specific situation or experience you want to explore and ultimately learn to integrate.
In this workshop you will learn:
Why it is so hard to let go
How being stuck in the past affects your mind, body and spirit
How to create presence and deal with the past in a safe and contained way
How to release the bind of the past and unlock more energy for today
What surrender really is according to ancient Vedic texts
How ancient wisdom instructs us to live on the path of surrender
Meditations to help you release and let go
Body based tools to help your body unwind from long held tension and experience more peace in the present moment
Practical tools to help you with your ongoing exploration around letting go and creating more space within
October 24th: 9:00am PST to 3:00pm PST
October 25th: 9:00am PST to 1:00pm PST

New Years Day - Receive, Rebalance, Restore
Every January, many of us sit down with the hope of shaping the year ahead. We set intentions, make lists, and imagine that with the right cleanse, habit stack, or “bio-hack” we can emerge as a new version of ourselves. And while inspiration certainly rises at this time of year, something else emerges too; the dreaded self-help spiral.
The collective energy of “New Year, New You” often whispers that there is something to fix. That who we are now is somehow insufficient. In that push to become someone else, we can unintentionally rush past the truth of where we actually are. We bypass the integration of the year we just lived, the transformations already underway, and the essential meaning making that comes from slowing down, listening to the body, and connecting with community.
This New Year’s Day, we invite you into a different kind of experience. Together we enter into a space to soften rather than reshape, while we reflect on the year that has passed and truly receive it. When we receive instead of react we open the door to being able to hear the sacred intelligence within, the heart’s Sankalpa. As we become clear on our hearts true desires, we move into our bodies to honor the alchemy already happening within. Together we open an intentional field of co-creation with life by placing our attention on the path ahead while receiving the truth of the present moment. We hope you can join us for this event as we open the year together in softness, self compassion and intentionality.
In our time together we will
Reflect and share with one another on the previous year
Identify any patterns or areas of holding or resistance that are creating tension in the mind/body or heart
Somatic practices to release what is ready to release
An extended Yoga Nidra tailored specifically for this workshop to open and receive clarity on our hearts current desire
A thoughtful Yin and Restorative Yoga asana practice.
Somatic practices to open the mind, the body and the heart to receive what will arrive in the year ahead
Ground and calm the nervous system
Leave with clarity on the most important aspect of life to focus on in the coming year

Unbracing Yourself
In a world that keeps us on alert, many of us carry an undercurrent of tension braced for what might come next. This workshop invites you to soften that stance. Together, we’ll explore how hypervigilance lives in the tissues and the subtle body, and how the very patterns that once kept us safe can now be unwound with care.
Rather than focusing on the story of why the body learned to tighten, our time together centers on the how of release. Through guided somatic practices, gentle movement, and energetic awareness, you’ll learn to meet tightness directly, listen to its intelligence, and allow it to dissolve into greater ease. The work is trauma informed, but not trauma defined. Together we will explore cultivating a lasting sense of safety, rest, and presence in the body.
At its heart, this is a practice of remembering that the body can become a sanctuary, and the dreamer within can dwell here; finding safety not beyond the human experience, but within it. Unbraced, softened, receptive, and more deeply alive.

Boundaries Workshop
A Boundary Workshop for the Sensitive & Sovereign
This is for the one who feels everything and who gives deeply. The one who holds space and listens long, even when time is short.
It is for the one who wants to continue to give and is truly ready to stop abandoning herself in the name of being “good.” This workshop is a reclamation of boundaries, not as walls, but as sacred edges. This reclaiming is a deep knowing of the inner world and her needs. We’ll explore the difference between reaction and clarity, the wisdom of the body in saying no, and how to create containers that nourish instead of drain.
You’ll leave with tools, practices, and language to support energetic integrity in your life, relationships, and work. Your boundaries are not a rejection, they are your devotion to truth.
