Resonance & Renewal: A Day of Voice, Sound & Soul Restoration

Come home to your voice, your body, and your inner stillness in this daylong retreat designed to attune you to your natural rhythm—through the healing power of voice, sound, breath, and deep rest.

Held on the sacred land of Rising Moon Meadows, this retreat offers an intimate setting to journey inward through sound, silence, and subtle energy. We’ll begin by tuning in with our original instrument—the voice—through vocal toning, gentle movement, and breath work. As the day unfolds, you’ll experience two immersive sound baths, restorative practices, sacred stillness, and guided reflection that invites clarity and renewal.

🌑 This retreat takes place just after the Virgo New Moon—an ideal time to create space for inward focus, intention setting, and aligning your energy with what you’re ready to cultivate next. Together, we’ll honor this cosmic moment through sound, silence, and soulful practices designed to support deep integration and restoration.

Whether you’re seeking deep rest, energetic alignment, or a creative reset, this is a space to reconnect with your own rhythm and leave feeling grounded, uplifted, and restored.

About Reiki & the Practicioner:

Reiki is a wonderful way to restore one’s life-force energy. It is an ancient healing art and means “Universal Energy” in Japanese. It is believed to enhance the body’s ability to heal itself and offers increased well-being and resilience. Saralee Sky, MA is a Reiki Master and intuitive energy worker and offers gentle grounding while holding the group energy through Reiki and other healing modalities. Saralee can be contacted at: [email protected]

Info: You can actually arrive as early as 9:15 to get your spot, get settled, enjoy tea and exploring the venue.

Info: We'll officially open our retreat, start with some centering, and practice the yoga sequence called Short and Sweet Kriya to Get Your Energy Moving. We'll also practice some breath work and exercises to tune us into the sound healing instrument of our own voice!

Info: Our first sound bath of the day will include Ruby's multiple Tibetan and crystal singing bowls, her multiple gongs (including her special planetary gongs), chimes, ocean drum, and more. This session will end with integrative silence.

Info: You can eat your lunch inside on the cozy couches, outside in the chairs or on the lawn. Once you finish eating, feel free to practice walking meditation, relax, chat with others, or pick from the many decks of oracle and tarot cards Ruby brought!

Info: Ruby will guide you through a simple sequence of restorative poses to help with digestion while playing soothing high vibe music. She'll then share a group oracle or tarot reading she did for the group, with a chance for partner sharing if desired.

Info: Ruby will guide you through some gentle, repetitive movements to get your energy up and to prepare you to lie down again for her guided relaxation and second sound bath. In the yoga nidra practice, you'll get a chance to set your intention and pave the way for a deep experience.

Info: Ruby will use her intuition as she works with her instruments to take you on a sound journey even deeper than the morning session. She'll most likely do that with less variation and transitions so you can experience deep relaxation and bliss and perhaps even receive insights or spiritual guidance.

Info: Come out of the sound bath only when you're ready. Ruby will make a few announcements, then pass out a short feedback form for you to fill out about the retreat. She'll be available to answer questions and is open to people gently playing her instruments. Drink more tea, eat more snacks, connect with more folks, enjoy the property and take your time to leave the premises.
