The experience closes with intentional grounding and the creation of a final artwork to carry the insights forward.

No prior yoga or art experience is required, since the focus is expression rather than perfection. Comfortable clothing that can get messy is recommended. Materials are provided, and the space is designed to support breathing, reflection, and reconnection. Everyone is welcome.

In person intuitive tarot readings and spiritual guidance are offered at Stone Soup ISC through spacious, grounded conversations that use tarot and oracle cards as an entry point into what is unfolding in your life. Rather than leaning on memorized meanings, the practitioner is a trained seer who channels and attends to context, energy, story, and pattern. Sessions can look at family patterns passed down through generations, emotional blocks and habits of avoidance, the spiritual turning point you are moving through, recurring themes in relationships, pivotal choices and direction, possible past life influences on the present, and what this chapter of life is asking of you. Many arrive with something hard to name and often leave with clearer insight into the pattern at play, the lesson, and a tangible next step. This is a calm space to slow down, take an honest look at what is happening, and reconnect with your own inner knowing. Appointments are encouraged, and walk-ins are welcome as time allows. To reserve a time, message 252.421.0508.

VIVANAMDThe Session
This is a nervous system reorganization experience where the body settles and updates without effort. If youve been on a spiritual or healing path and feel theres a layer that hasnt shifted yet, this work is for you. Patterns that have been running subconsciously can become visible and begin to shift. This may be experienced through physical movement, changes in sensation, emotional release, or moments of clarity and insight. In a quiet space with music, the body may move, adjust, or remain still, and you may notice changes in sensation, emotion, or awareness. This is for someone who has done the work, the talking, the analyzing, the trying to figure it out, and senses there is a layer that has not moved yet, someone open to change that does not require understanding it first, and someone willing to arrive and allow what happens to happen. This work does not require belief or prior experience, as the system responds directly.

Guided by the legacy of Marty Robbins, Hank Williams, and Johnny Cash, his style and voice reflect those roots. Their performance goes beyond a standard set, blending rich country history with energetic showmanship. Lyles commands the stage with the conviction of a gospel preacher and a streak of witty Southern humor, shaping an engaging tour through true American honky tonk.
