New Moon Alchemy : a candlelit evening of sound, intention & manifestation
About this Event
As we gather at the beginning of a new lunar cycle, you’ll be guided inward through a cleansing and purifying meditation to release what no longer serves you and create space for what you’re ready to welcome in.
You’ll then be invited to connect with your heart’s desires and set your intentions. Through guided visualizations and Divine Light meditations, we’ll illuminate your dreams, nurture your vision, and consciously plant the seeds for what you wish to create.
From there, surrender into a deeply immersive sound healing journey. Merry will weave together the alchemizing vibrations of Alchemy & Frosted Crystal Bowls, Music Therapy Harp, Crystal Harp, Chimes, Gong, Tibetan Bowls, creating a rich, resonant soundscape to support deep relaxation, nervous system regulation, and a profound sense of renewal. The vibrations will also amplify your new moon intentions.
The New Moon is a sacred invitation to begin again. A blank canvas and a powerful moment to turn inward, clarify what you desire, and align your energy and actions with the life you are ready to create.
Rest. Receive. Release. Renew.
Your only job is to be present and allow yourself to be held by the experience.
What to Bring:
● Your yoga mat and anything to support a comfortable shavasana (soft mats, pillows, bolsters, eye masks, blankets, etc.)
● One bolster and blanket will be provided, but feel free to bring extra items for maximum comfort.
● Your journal and a pen
● Dress in cozy, comfortable clothing.

The Science Behind It: A study published in the Journal of Evidence-Based Integrative Medicine found that a one-hour sound meditation significantly reduced tension, pain, anger, fatigue, anxiety, and depression while enhancing spiritual well-being. Instruments such as singing bowls, gongs, and chimes were used, with participants experiencing profound benefits regardless of prior sound meditation experience. (Psychology Today, 2019)
About the Facilitator:
Merry Trentadue has been practicing yoga since moving to California from the East Coast in 2003. What began as a way to support her marathon running grew into a deep appreciation for yogic practices and philosophy. She is highly trained and certified as a C-IAYT Yoga Therapist, E-RYT 500 teacher, and YACEP education provider.
“Yoga has expanded my awareness; I live from a more heart-centered place than ever before. It is an incredible honor to share it.”
Of the many yogic paths, she feels most connected to Bhakti Yoga (the yoga of devotion) —leading Kirtan, training others, and founding The Soul of Yoga’s monthly Kirtan Club in 2018. Join her the 1st Saturday of each month!
She is also a Direct Divine Light Healer, Reiki Master Teacher, Certified Metaphysician, and a gifted Sound Healer, offering a compassionate space for students to explore the connection of mind, body, and spirit. She shares her gifts in public classes and private 1:1 sessions.
Outside the studio, Merry loves traveling (especially bhakti travel!) , the outdoors, Kirtans, and hugs.
