About this Event

Join us for an intimate 2-hour workshop that weaves together the transformative superpowers of poetry and sound healing. This unique experience will combine readings from Jósa Goodlife’s newly released healing memoir, Elemental Rebirth, intertwined with a sound journey, designed to guide you into your inner elemental field of exploration.


This afternoon's workshop will be divided into two parts:


First Hour — Words & Connection


- Intimate reading from Elemental Rebirth

- Open conversation about healing, transformation, and the elemental wisdom within us all

- Gather in community and set intentions for the sound journey ahead


Second Hour — Elemental Sound Journey


- A surrender into deep rest, while nestled in Mother Earth's loving embrace

- Focus on releasing stress, old trauma patterns, and all that no longer serves you, to the cleansing powers of the elements

- Experience poetry woven together with the immersive sound instruments, as each element removes your burdens and offers renewal instead

- Allow water, fire, air and earth to clear away old patterns and help recharge towards your inner elemental rebirth


Book Sales: Signed copies of Elemental Rebirth will be available for purchase on-site, or you can bring your own copy to be signed by the author (bring cash // venmo)


About Elemental Rebirth — A Poetic Healing Memoir by Jósa Goodlife:


In her early thirties, Jósa Goodlife faced the life-altering challenge of overcoming cervical cancer through a hysterectomy. Yet, what began as a physical transformation became the gateway to a profound personal rebirth… one that you are invited to witness in this book.


Elemental Rebirth is a gift to those willing to receive — a narrative that transcends the physical and dives into the heart of — what it means to be a human being, with all its struggles and sensitivities, grace and much beauty. It is not merely a story of survival, but a living testament to the power of embracing change and finding purpose along unexpected paths.


With the energetic and poetic support of the elements, Jósa’s story invites readers on a creative journey through the swirling layers of the mind — touching the mysteries of life and death. It carries a wish for renewed hope, a call for more intentional living on this magical planet, and a gentle shedding of the heavy shadows cast by a mind-conditioned, results-driven society.


At its heart, Jósa’s hope is to reconnect humanity with its innate purpose: to fall back in love with the miracle of existence. Through the restorative forces of the elements, we are reminded of our essential kinship with the natural world and with one another. And above all, to remember how the power of love will always guide us back home.
