Sacred Sound and Movement: A Spiritual Healing Journey

Join us for a dynamic, interactive, and experiential event exploring the healing and spiritual qualities of sacred sound and embodied movement.

Our journey will begin by feeling our own life force through guided breathwork and visualization courtesy of master of ceremonies, Jaret Brooks. This will help engage our body and minds for the journey into our ecstatic dance session led by DJ and master practitioner Erik Lieux. Ecstatic dance is a form of body movement in which practitioners surrender to the rhythm, moving freely as the music takes them on an inner journey, leading to an altered state of consciousness reminiscent of meditation. From this refreshed space of body and mind, we move into alert stillness with master sound healing practitioner Rich Gausman. Rich will elevate the collective vibration through the use of a 40-inch gong and quartz crystal bowls, creating a healing immersive experience. This will further be aided by Jordon DeMercado and friends via use of Australian origin didgeridoo and ancient sound healing tools to bring deeper stillness and peace.

Please bring a yoga mat, pillow, blanket, and water bottle. Space if very limited, so please register early.
