Sand mandala and sound bath healing with a shaman

In this introspective healing practice, create a personal mandala using sand and symbolic objects, engage in journaling, and tune inward with a soothing sound bath. • Create a unique mandala using objects that represent significant aspects of your life and infuse it with intention, building a living representation of your journey. • Once your mandala is complete, we’ll move into a restorative sound bath meditation. The mandalas will rest at the center of the room, radiating the energy of your intentions as the soothing sounds of crystal bowls, chimes, and other instruments guide you into a peaceful state. • After the meditation, we’ll return to the sand mandalas for a final moment of connection. You’ll have time to reflect on what you created, journal, and express gratitude for the process. You'll leave feeling grounded, refreshed, and inspired.

This mix of active breath along with movement and vocalizations will activate your body and mind and create space for deep healing and relaxation. • We will end our session with a period of integration which will include aromatics, sound elements, energy work, and a sensation of deep relaxation as the body drops back into a calm parasympathetic nervous state. Closing with a brief discussion and instructions for post-breathwork aftercare. You’ll leave our time together feeling lighter, centered, and present.

Experience Amazing Horsehair Raku

This 2-hour experience allows each guest to pick from a variety of pre-made pots. At the end of this experience, you will take your pot with you. One note: These are decorative only and are not considered food safe. Horsehair "Raku" during the experience uses a technique of applying horsehair, feathers, and/or sawdust to red hot pots. The carbon in these items transfer suddenly to the pot and are permanent. This method is eye-popping and amazing. Any age can do it. I recommend children be at least 10 and able to be respectful to other guests. I am sometimes a little corny, but very capable of sharing the How-To's, mixed with some history and other uses of clay. I am very good at coaching, and helping guest achieve a decorated raku pot that they are excited to take home. This is the kind of experience that will be fondly remembered for a lifetime.
