Plants have been on planet Earth long before we humans. They offer us food, clothing, medicine and beauty through the seasons. One can think of them as our wise elders, plant allies. Plants can also offer spiritual medicine, affecting our consciousness, even shifting our beliefs. Come journey with a common plant and see what you discover.
Long before words ever existed, humans communicated through rhythm, expression, and motion. Within this mysterious process, chaos finds order. Repetitive, deliberate strokes weave intricate patterns that seem to manifest from the ether, a visual mantra for the mind. The conscious self steps back, allowing a deeper awareness to surface. Time loses its linear grip, dissolving into the meditative rhythm of each stroke.
Ever hear a song and have it bring up memories and feelings from long ago? Ever stood by a waterfall and felt the air changing? Ever actually "felt" music? Science has proven that sound and frequencies can affect the mind and body on a cellular level. Want to experience this for yourself? Come, experience singing bowls and feel what all the hype is about. These frequencies can impact feelings, mood, pain levels and also facilitate healing.
You are invited to a gentle journey, one that will awaken hidden wisdom and light up your soul for the new year.
