Spring Equinox: Qi Gong + Sound Healing
A Sacred Energy Reset
Step into a 60-minute Qi Gong practice designed to gently awaken your life force and restore harmony to body, breath, and mind. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine and practiced for thousands of years, Qi Gong blends slow, intentional movement, conscious breathing, and focused awareness to cultivate and circulate vital energy throughout the body.
Through flowing sequences, grounding postures, and guided breathwork, you’ll release tension, calm the nervous system, and strengthen your vitality. This practice supports stress relief, improved balance, enhanced immunity, and emotional clarity, all while inviting ease rather than effort.
As your body opens and energy begins to flow, you’ll settle into a deeply restorative sound healing experience. Guided into stillness, you’ll rest as Himalayan singing bowls and resonant tones wash over you, helping integrate the energy cultivated during movement and deepen relaxation.
Aligned with the energy of the Spring Equinox, a time of balance and renewal, this practice supports clearing the old, planting fresh intentions, and welcoming the returning light of the season.
Whether you’re seeking relief, balance, vitality, or simply a sacred pause, this immersive experience offers renewal. Come as you are. Leave centered, clear, and recharged.
Price: $40 + processing fee
Sound Healing + Cacao Ceremony
Join us for a deeply grounding and heart-centered Cacao Ceremony & Sound Healing Journey in honor of the New Moon in Taurus. This sacred gathering invites you to align with Taurus energy — steady, nurturing, abundant, and deeply connected to the earth. Taurus reminds us to slow down, root into the present moment, and cultivate what we truly value in life.
We will begin by setting intentions under the fertile energy of the new moon, planting seeds for abundance, stability, self-worth, and long-term growth. The New Moon in Taurus encourages us to anchor our dreams into reality, to trust the natural rhythm of life, and to build foundations that support lasting prosperity and inner peace.
We will then share ceremonial-grade cacao, a sacred plant elixir known for its heart-opening and grounding qualities. This beautiful ritual helps us soften into presence, awaken the heart, and deepen our connection to ourselves and one another.
We’ll blend the nourishing power of ceremonial cacao with the ancient vibrational healing of authentic Himalayan singing bowls and gong from Nepal, creating a sacred container for grounding, clarity, and energetic alignment.
As this sacred elixir gently opens our energetic centers, we create space to anchor our intentions and embody the abundance we are calling into our lives. The ceremony will then flow into an immersive sound healing journey, guiding you through each chakra and helping to harmonize your entire energetic field.
This experience will help you:
~ Grounding into the present moment and the wisdom of the body
~ Clarifying intentions around abundance, stability, and self-worth
~ Opening the heart and cultivating deeper self-love
~ Clearing and balancing the chakras through sound healing
~ Aligning your energy with the steady, fertile power of the Taurus new moon
Together we will co-create a beautiful afternoon of community, connection, grounding, and soulful renewal.
Sound Healing + Cacao Ceremony
Join us for a deeply grounding and heart-opening Cacao Ceremony & Sound Healing Journey in honor of the New Moon in Pisces. This sacred gathering is designed to help you align with the intuitive, dreamy, and spiritually expansive energy of Pisces—awakening your imagination, compassion, and connection to the unseen.
We will begin by setting intentions under the energy of the new moon, planting seeds for manifestation, soulful alignment, emotional healing, and inspired new beginnings. The New Moon in Pisces invites us to dream without limits, to trust divine timing, and to call in what is meant for us from a place of faith rather than force.
Then, we will drink ceremonial-grade cacao, a sacred plant medicine known for its heart-opening and grounding properties, allowing us to drop into a space of deep presence, heightened intuition, and emotional clarity.
We'll blend the heart-opening power of ceremonial cacao with the ancient healing vibrations of authentic Tibetan singing bowls and Gong from Nepal to create a sacred space of connection, support, and manifestation.
As this medicine opens our energetic centers, we create space to energetically anchor our intentions and align our hearts with what we are calling in. The ceremony flows into an immersive Sound Healing Journey guiding us through each chakra.
This experience will help you:
~ Clarify your intentions and amplify manifestation energy
~ Strengthen intuition and spiritual trust
~ Open your heart and expand self-love
~ Clear and balance your chakras through sound healing
~ Align your energy with your highest vision
Together we will create a magical afternoon of community, connection, manifestation, and soulful renewal.

Spiritual Yatra

This journey will take her through Asia for continued spiritual reflection, a Qigong intensive training at Tao Gardens in Chiang Mai, Thailand and will conclude as she co-hosts a Sacred Alchemy retreat in Kerala, India.
