    Join us for a guided meditation and sound bath through the elements to open to self-love and harmony.  Through the healing frequencies of Tibetan and crystal singing bowls, ocean drums, chimes, and more, you will be immersed in a practice to bring relaxation and ease to the body and mind. As winter invites us to slow down and turn inward, we hope you will join us to nourish yourself with meditation and sound.

    Soul retrieval is a shamanic practice to restore pieces of the soul that may have been lost due to trauma, grief, or difficult life events. In this ceremony you will be guided in a meditative journey with immersive sound to reclaim the fragmented pieces of you. Restorative vibrations from the Tibetan singing bowls, chimes and shamanic drum will be your allies so that you are energetically supported throughout the experience.
