Fall Equinox: Voice Activation, Qigong, Soundbath and Acupuncture

Join us at Yoga Shala Carrboro on September 12, 2026 at 5:00 PM (Eastern Daylight Time) for a unique in-person experience that harmonizes your body and spirit. This event blends the ancient practices of voice activation and Qigong with the soothing vibrations of a soundbath and the healing touch of acupuncture.

Celebrate the Fall Equinox by awakening your inner energy and restoring balance as the seasons shift. Whether you seek relaxation, rejuvenation, or a deeper connection to your own voice and vitality, this gathering offers a holistic approach to well-being.

Dr. Sinéad will begin the evening with a grounding Qigong practice inspired by the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the energy of the autumn season. In Chinese medicine, Fall is associated with the Lungs and Large Intestine, organs connected with breath, letting go, grief, courage, and inspiration.

Rush will then guide you into an embodied Voice Activation, using breath, sound, and vocal practices to help you open your voice, deepen your connection to your body, and express what is ready to move through you.

Through gentle movement, breathwork, and mindful intention, you'll learn practices that support:

• Immune and respiratory health
• Aid in the process of grieving and letting go of what no longer serves us
• Create a deeper connection to your inner world during this transition to a more “Yin” (restful and reflective) season of the year.

No prior singing or movement experience is necessary. This is a welcoming space for all levels and all voices.

We will close the evening with an immersive Holographic Sound Healing Journey featuring Tibetan singing bowls, crystal alchemy bowls, gong, chimes, and voice. These healing frequencies invite the nervous system into deep rest while supporting physical, emotional, and energetic integration.

The evening will also include a Fall Equinox reflection and intention-setting practice, offering space to acknowledge what you've cultivated throughout the year, release what no longer serves you, and align with the quieter wisdom and grounded presence this new season invites.
