WHY CHAKRAS ARE IMPORTANT:

Explore the mystical energy of the 7 primary chakra systems located throughout the energetic body. Starting at the base of the spine and extending all the way through the crown of the head, the seven main chakras all work together to maintain the vitality of the body and mind. 

Chakras are associated with specific locations in the body that correspond with our biological systems, mainly the endocrine glands and central nervous system. Consequently, disturbances to the energy of the chakras can manifest as physical symptoms on a biological level.

Our understanding of chakras is purely energetic, however, if any of these vital channels are thrown off balance or blocked, physical symptoms may occur. The chakras are also associated with a rainbow of colors, representing various elements, planets, postures, sound frequencies, and emotional states of being. Connection to your chakras can indicate your current emotional state – as the emotions in our bodies shift, so does our connection to the chakra wheels, ever-present within. 

This in-depth practice will allow you to dive deep into your body, through breath, postures, mudras, vibrations, & guided visualization meditation. Learn about your chakra system and ways to activate these energy centers through Yoga & Meditation. Wear your favorite color and come ready to excite your mind & body!

Or do you have a complicated relationship with a family member and wish things could be smoother during a holiday dinner?

Additionally we will add Chi Gong postures to charge this energy in the heart and to expand it out through the body's energy channels.

New Moon Blessings! This New Moon is happening in the sign of Gemini - the Twins - which is ruled by Mercury, the messenger of the Gods. Being the Messenger of the Gods, Mercury rules communication, intellect, travel and expression. In Gnostic Astrology, this lunar cycle is called Sivan and is known as the Month of Miracles. 

We are in a portal where we can gain a deeper understanding of how manifestation works, through our voice and sound, and welcome blessings & miracles by engaging in spiritual practices that allow us to dissolve the duality within ourselves and thus, see how the external world is a mirror and our 'reality' is something we are actively co-creating. This is how we embody the infinite Light of our Soul and begin to joyously participate in Creation - in the tapistry we are consciously manifesting with the Divine Mother-Father.

New Moon portals hold ALL the untapped energy for manifestation, and greater alignment with our Soul’s purpose and mission. It is through the magic of sound frequency, that the material world was created, and so too, tonight, we will be allowing the harmonic resonances of Crystal Alchemy Bowls, powerful light language, Aramaic healing mantras and the energies of the Magdalene Reiki ray to align us with healing and with our Soul’s unique and beautiful expression. I look forward to holding space for this powerful co-creation!

Don’t forget to bring your favorite crystals, journal, pen, yoga mat and comfy blanket, eye pillow - if you so desire.

Join us as we gather in community to shed those old layers of what is no longer serving and focus on returning to our true selves. 

We are in the midst of eclipse season which illuminates our shadow self and asks us to look at parts of ourselves that we may have avoided. As we explore old patterns and habits that could be holding us back, we uncover an opportunity for growth and transformation. Due to the chaotic energy that an eclipse brings, we offer the chance to nurture our emotional selves, hold space for what comes up, and reflect, rather than set any specific intentions. This event will include a cacao ceremony to start, breath work, light yoga, journaling, guided mediation, and sound bath, as well as the chance to connect with community. Please bring a yoga mat, journal and pen. Option to bring your favorite mug or anything you would like to meditate with/ add to the altar. 

We firmly believe that a community setting is the most powerful way to heal; we can’t wait to hold space for you!"
