Master Brain-Stormer, Doula, Intuitive Guide, Joy Priestess
Hello Amazing Humans!
I am Braiden Bowen. I am currently a stay-at-home mama to my baby girl Zaiya and wife to her daddy - my incredible partner, Shane. I am a lay Birth and Postpartum Doula, working toward DONA certification. I recently moved back to Central Oregon after several years of traveling and living in different places. My travels slowed quite a bit as I dove into being a mom to my toddler. I love being her mama. It is the most wonderful and challenging journey I have been on in my life. While she teaches me so much about myself, I do my best to carve out time for self-care and to find moments to nurture simple joys. Some of my joy includes the outdoors, dancing, singing, journaling, spirituality, cold exposure, yoga, swimming, playing volleyball, pickleball, spending time with my family, and deep conversations with friends.
I am forever on a journey to discover more that brings me pleasure, and bliss in this lifetime. I have never fit into society’s box of social expectations; I know I am here, in this human form, to experience new things, free myself through movement, and just be okay with being my wild weird self and hopefully inspiring others to do the same. Each day I seek a deeper remembrance of my own inner-knowing, and I am committed to living my life in alignment with my souls purpose and the pieces of life that feed my joy and my commitment to serve others.
I can’t wait to share moments and hold space for you to connect deeper to yourself and enjoy these practices as much as I have; to discover new ways for us to love ourselves deeply. I look forward to learning new ways that I can support this community to support women and empower women to experience the joys of wellness together.
Raynee
Producer, Creative Director, Filmmaker. Lover of Nature, Animals and the Arts
My name is Raynee Roberts, I am a Prineville native and multimedia creative.
In 2012 I started my brand Lost Portal as an outlet for my art including redesigned and custom apparel, video production, wardrobe and styling, graphic design, screen printing and photography.
I am a filmmaker and am currently editing two short films. One is a dance/movement short film called OUROBOROS that I have produced, directed and styled, which is currently in the post production phase. The second is a short documentary film called The Trifecta Movie Project. It explores the lives of three artists that live in Oregon that have had to overcome many obstacles to be successful as minorities in their fields.
On set, you’ll typically find me styling and creating custom wardrobe, managing production and assistant directing, or directing talent. Though the creative process is my passion, video editing has always been my favorite part of production.
From an early age I was trained as a classical ballerina and truly loved dance in all of its forms. I was extremely involved in the school's dance team and traveled to dance and take classes across the PNW. I was in multiple high school productions and thrived performing with my improv team. Growing up as a dancer and thespian developed my knowledge of the arts in a way that gives me an overall perspective on the two worlds that helps me combine them in exciting and unexpected ways.
I was blessed to have grown up in beautiful Central Oregon and have always loved being in nature. Through spending my childhood entertaining myself, mostly in the dirt, I developed a strong connection with myself, my environment and the animals living in it.
I am pursuing a life full of my passions and creative collaborations.
manifeSTATION is an outlet for me to move, ground myself, and help bring consistency and community to my life. It is my goal to share my knowledge of movement and self expression to help my community heal and inspire true happiness within themselves in their environments.
