Ariyah Kimberlinn
Death Doula • Sound • Breathwork • Spiritual Life Coach
Ariyah is a spiritual leader and founder of the Bozeman Spiritual Society, established in 2020 to address a growing need in her community for connection and networking among spiritual seekers and practitioners. With a deep commitment to fostering unity and personal growth, Ariyah created a sanctuary where like-minded individuals could explore their spiritual paths, share wisdom, and support one another in their journeys. Her initiative has become a cornerstone of Bozeman’s spiritual community, offering a welcoming space for those seeking meaning and connection.
Ariyah’s diverse offerings reflect her holistic approach to healing and self-discovery. As a certified practitioner, she provides Soul Therapy Breathwork, a transformative practice that helps clients release emotional blockages and reconnect with their inner selves. Her intuitive and energy healing sessions are tailored to restore balance and promote well-being, drawing on gifts she has developed for sensing and channeling energy. Ariyah also specializes in energy cleansing, clearing stagnant or negative energies from individuals and spaces to create harmony.
IIn addition to her healing services, Ariyah leads guided meditation sessions that guide participants toward mindfulness and inner peace. Her Meditation Boot Camp is a structured program designed to deepen meditation practices for both beginners and seasoned practitioners. As a Spiritual Life Coach, she empowers clients to align with their purpose and navigate life’s challenges with clarity and confidence. Ariyah also serves as a compassionate Death Doula, offering emotional and spiritual support to individuals and families during end-of-life transitions.
Through her multifaceted work, Ariyah intends to inspire and uplift her community, blending intuition, empathy, and spiritual expertise to guide others toward healing and self-realization. However, she also recognizes that she is not alone. She works tirelessly to lift up and promote the efforts of others already doing good work in our community.
Jim Macdonald
Sacred Sexuality • Chakradance • Sacred Communication / Intimacy • Breathwork • Moving Meditation
When Jim is not being an eccentric local fashion icon – when is he not?! – he is a licensed Chakradance facilitator and a SkyDancing Tantra teacher in training, offering a variety of practices focused on communication and intimacy with oneself and others. Believing that the three keys to integrating energy in our body are breath, movement, and sound, Jim offers a variety of workshops related to these keys. Workshops that Jim has facilitated at BSS include multiple nine-week Chakradance courses (a movement healing modality that works to balance our energy centers through still meditation, dance, and mandala art), workshops in sacred communication, sexual breathing, consensual and communicative touch, shadow work, moving meditations, and open conversations about sexuality.
In a world where men are rightfully not trusted, Jim’s work centers on the idea that your boundaries are sacred and works with his participants on tools to honor the risk of the trust they place in him. No matter the offering, finding and celebrating your yes and your no is at the core.
Beyond his BSS offerings, you can find Jim often dancing in the streets, hiking in his beloved Yellowstone, on stage acting or performing improv, and pursuing his myriad interests.
Besides his facilitation license in Chakradance (since 2018) and his current teacher studies with SkyDancing Tantra International (graduating in 2027), Jim has a master’s in philosophy, having been a college philosophy teacher at the University of Toledo, Catholic University of America, and Mt. St. Mary’s University.
Mariah Rees
Thai Yoga Therapy
Mariah is a certified SomaVeda® Thai Yoga Therapist and Ayurvedic Diet & Lifestyle Counselor. She grew up in small town Montana, and although she worked seasonally for six years in many beautiful places – including the glaciers of Alaska, the farms and outdoor environmental education centers of the Pacific Northwest, and a ski resort in Tahoe – the mountains of Montana always called her home.
While traveling in Ecuador in 2016, Mariah participated in a SomaVeda® Thai Yoga Therapy seminar. During the 10-day course, she experienced so much gratitude for the healing arts of Indigenous Traditional Thai Medicine, and strongly felt for the first time in all her endeavors, “This is what I am meant to be doing!”
Thai Yoga Therapy is an ancient scientific system designed to restore vitality physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Thai Yoga Therapy utilizes traditional therapeutic postures where the receiver relaxes and breathes while the practitioner moves their body to co-facilitate stretching while applying compression and gentle traction to Sen lines and acupressure points.
Mariah pursued her education through the Thai Yoga Center and SomaVeda® College of Natural Medicine in Florida. You can find more about her certifications and services at www.mariahrees.com.
Mariah has been in Bozeman year-round since 2018, and enjoyed the freedom and challenge of starting her own practice. She is passionate about being in nature with reciprocity, playing, and stewarding our beautiful Earth. Mariah believes in the sacredness and connection of all beings and is awed by the perseverance of the human spirit. She strives to inspire and co-create with others on the Dharma path and loves finding God in the symmetry of flowers, ecstatic movement or quiet mediation, the peace of rivers, and the faith of folks who go to church regularly and share their praises. Mariah prefers to be barefoot, eat as locally and wholesome as possible, steer clear of chemicals, and follow the natural rhythms and cycles of the seasons. She finds a tremendous sense of purpose in working with her clients, along with her main job as a mother to a young son. When Mariah finds/makes time, she enjoys practicing yoga and qi gong, dancing, gardening and permaculture, skiing and snowboarding, sewing, and craft projects.
She urges “Stay hydrated, water is the first medicine!” I If you are interested in learning more about Mariah’s services, please call her at 406-223-8137 to schedule a complimentary 15-minute Discovery Call.
