Teachers & Facilitators
Haley Purdy
Alignment Vinyasa, Yoga Nidra, Grief Support
Haley (she/her) spent 15 years in corporate marketing before realizing that her career path and soul path were not aligned. She completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training at Maha Yoga in Philadelphia in 2019. She has since added certifications in Yoga Nidra (2020) and the Trauma-Conscious Yoga Method (2026). She is also a certified Grief Counselor and the founder of Komorebi Griefwork.
Outside of teaching yoga, Haley loves spending time with her family of 5, taking travel adventures, practicing tennis, and eating great food. Also, Go Birds!
Haley’s family home shares the Crumwald property with The Barn. This space has been a longtime dream and a labor of love, and they are excited to be able to share it with their community.
Suki Kermes (she/her/they) is a certified yoga and meditation teacher with over 20 years of devoted practice and study — a forever student of life, in awe of its beauty and magic.
Her therapeutic, nurturing approach supports students in slowing down, taking up space, and being guided home to their inner wisdom. The Divine Feminine, alongside the practice and state of Yoga Nidra, infuses all her offerings and the way she holds space.
Suki is committed to the practices of Yoga Nidra, Restorative Yoga, Somatic Abolitionism, Meditation, and Trauma-Informed & Embodied Social Justice. Their offerings are steeped in the teachings of Sri Vidya and the Himalayan lineage — rooted in intuition, householder flow, devotional reverence, and their own knowing.
When not holding a gathering, you’ll likely find them in the woods, by the water, sitting with tea, musing on poetry, cooking for friends or with their family.

Gloria Shepard
Astrology, Meditation, Counseling
Gloria (she/her) has spent her life walking between worlds. One foot is firmly planted in the earthy realm of practical life, common sense, and the natural world. The other is stepping out of the known world and into the abyss–the unexpected, invisible, experimental chaos of a world that isn’t fully born yet.
She’s always been a teacher--in the woods, in a classroom, on a meditation cushion, or in small groups of parents or women. She also loves to work one-on-one with people, helping them to actually understand who they are on the inside and to and skillfully express that in the world. Her work is deeply transformative and rooted in curiosity, gentleness, and deep trust in the wholeness of each being. You can find more of Gloria’s offerings on her web site.
When not working, you’ll probably find Gloria hiking with her dog, messing around with plants, visiting with her grown kids, or digging into a study of something fascinating.

Reiki, Sound Meditation,Yoga Nidra
Adriana (she/her) is a Sound Healing, Yoga Nidra & Meditation Practitioner, Spiritual Herbalist and Shamanic Reiki Master.

Grateful for the wisdom and teachings of mentors such as Tracee Stanley, Dr. Chanti Tocoronte, Lama Rod Owens, Empress Karen Rose, Lynn Roberts, and Shawn Moore, Adriana's work is rooted in deep reverence for both individual and collective healing.
Originally from the Brazilian Amazon, Adriana now lives in the serene woods of Rose Valley, PA, with her partner, two children and dog.
