An experience created from two paths...
The Activation was created by Alexis Corry Kappel and Laura Breen Escott from a shared belief that some of the most meaningful shifts happen when we create space to listen: to the body, to the mind, and to what lives beneath the noise of everyday life.
Our individual paths brought us here in different ways.
Laura through movement, breath, and the wisdom of the body.
Alexis through meditation, inner awareness, and creativity.
Together, we created The Activation.
Laura Breen Escott
Laura is the co-creator of The Activation, movement educator, and founder of the LBE Method, a somatic movement practice rooted in a deeper relationship with the body.
A Pilates Master Trainer, certified shaman, and breathwork facilitator, Laura brings years of experience in movement, breath, and mind-body practices to The Activation.
"My classes are music-driven and designed to awaken the body and build momentum from within...living at the intersection of sweat, catharsis, and subtlety, where big emotion meets deep embodiment."
We don’t move to 'fix' you.
We move to remember you.
Her music-driven movement experiences invite participants out of the thinking mind and into the body; to release, expression, and a obtain greater awareness of what the body already knows.
"At The Activation, I’m here to hold the physical, emotional, and energetic container that allows your system to reset and your truth to rise."
Alexis Corry Kappel
Alexis is the co-creator of The Activation and your guide for meditation, nervous system nourishment, and inner listening. Professional photographer, designer, and the founder of Alexis Co., creativity has long been at the center of Alexis's work and the way she moves through the world.
Her work is guided by the belief that creativity and spirituality are deeply intertwined, and that both can offer a pathway to knowing ourselves more fully. Expressed through meditation, gatherings, ritual, and design, Alexis creates space to slow down, listen inward, and deepen our awareness of ourselves.
"My practice encourages and embraces gentleness... helping you slow down enough to hear what your body and heart have been trying to say."
At The Activation, Alexis invites you to meet yourself more honestly and with curiosity, compassion, and a little more room to breathe.
Her path into meditation and spiritual study grew from her own experiences with transformation, grief, and the desire to understand the parts of ourselves that cannot always be explained but can be deeply felt.
Within The Activation, Alexis guides meditation and creative experiences, including her beaded grounding practice, designed to encourage reflection, creativity, and self-discovery. Her approach is also informed by her ongoing study of contemporary shamanic practices.
