Let your cares go and sink into the relaxing and healing sounds of resonant instruments, infused with a little chanting, reiki and drumming.

Together we will raise our vibrations and let our inner moonbeams shine brightly!

About Sound Journeys: Sound journeys massage our bodies, minds and spirits with healing sounds. This can help our noisy "monkey minds" get quiet as we shift to a Theta brainwave state from our usual Beta and Alpha states.This is where we relax deeply and experience peace and healing on a cellular level.

What to expect: Plan on relaxing in a way that ordinary life can make it hard to do. Come without expectations of yourself or others and bring an open mind and heart.We will set our personal intentions, and direct our collective energy to release our inner light and highest frequency for the world.This will be a sensory fusion of nature sounds and deep vibrations. A 32-inch wind gong, crystal and Tibetan singing bowls, chimes, Ocean Drum, hand drum, bells and more will be used during this sound meditation experience to bathe you in beautiful resonance!

We will also start you on this journey with a guided meditation and infuse the morning with healing holy fire reiki healing.

A 90-min Yin Yoga practice suitable for all bodies and experience levels. This practice is limited to 8 participants and is designed to create awareness of the deeper tissues. Our focus is on the network of fascia that surrounds our bones, ligaments, tendons, and muscles and supports our organs. We move into and out of postures slowly and hold them for 3-5 minutes. Resting in each posture enables us to take stock of what and where we feel sensations, adjust as appropriate, and then relax into stillness in the posture. Breath Coaching is also provided to help focus on specific areas of tension and recover mobility where it has been limited. No two bodies are alike, and, in fact, each body is different, left to right and day to day. This practice ensures a deeper experience for each student - no two bodies will look alike in any posture, and we use props to suit each individual.

The practice is limited to 10 participants.

Yin Yoga is a quiet practice that helps us ease pain and support flexibility and range of motion. There are no standing poses in Yin: we sit, kneel, or lie down to take various positions that will relax the muscles as we place stress on the connective tissues. Fascia, ligaments, and tendons respond, gradually becoming elastic and strong. At the same time, tension, pain, and restrictions are released to help us get up and off the mat with ease and a calm mind.

Fire ~ Active. Powerful. Vibrant. Expressive. Heat. Alive.

What images and feelings does the fire element conjure up in you?

We’ll explore this in our free-form movement/dance.

Fire Dance begins with slow and gentle music, gradually builds tempo and speed, reaches a peak, and then comes back down again.

There is no choreography involved. It’s a chance to explore how your body wants to move when given time, space, music, freedom, and community to support you.

Many people who are new to this find it intimidating and that’s ok. You don’t have to dance the whole time. You can stretch, meditate, do yoga, be part of creating our fire altar/art, rest, etc. Meet yourself where you are, be playful, and dance!

Investment: $20-40
