Before the grocery lists get too big, the cost of the holidays sets in, the travel delays become long.
Before the decorating and cookie baking and all the pressures we put on ourselves.
Before we move into a time of year that can be both joyful and stressful and filled with the longing for those we have lost..
give yourself this moment to come back to Self. To pause before all the busyness sets in. Connect with your Self so when life begins to feel overwhelming, you know exactly where to return to.
Please take this invitation for you to make space for yourself. To find rest and reprieve in the sound and its vibrations. To give yourself the opportunity to let go, to connect to the space where your inner peace resides, where your true-self waits patiently.
Offer yourself time to settle in, to simply be and allow your body to receive what it needs.

During the Sound Immersion, various instruments such as Tibetan singing bowls, crystal bowls and gongs (and so much more), will fill the space, allowing you to move into a state of deep relaxation. In this place, you body is offered the opportunity to release stress, relax, and shift your frequencies, raising your vibrations.
Attendees are asked to bring their own props. I suggest, at a minimum, a yoga mat and two blankets. I also encourage bringing a pillow, knee support, an eye pillow and warm layers, including socks. Anything and everything you need to relax. Comfort is most important. You can choose to lay on the floor or be seated, then you may close your eyes and let the sounds carry you to where you need to go.
I would love for you to join me in finding that place of rest, a place to recover and a place to heal your physical, emotional and energetic bodies while the room is filled with sound.

She has worked with educational institutions such as Michigan State University, Western Michigan University, and Kalamazoo Public Schools.
