Dive deep into the elemental healing expression of sound. This course will guide participants on how to structure a sound bath in relation to the medicine wheel and the four elements: air, fire water, and earth. Our intention is to teach sound practitioners how to create a ceremonial sound journey that draws upon the invocation of the elemental forces, weaving sonic expression into a cohesive narrative, guiding listeners towards a state of peace and harmony. We draw upon teachings passed directly to us by elders from various indigenous traditions, whose healing practices are focused on sound and music. We will also explore constructing a ceremonial four elements altar for healing work. This is a great course to understand the mythology of sound in ceremony and how modern day practitioners can work with these teachings in their own work.

This Pisces season we connect with the energy of the Full Moon in Virgo. A special time of connecting to how we balance the principles of science (Virgo) and spirituality (Pisces) in our lives. Under the Virgo moon we may become very analytical of our emotions, giving us the opportunity to see why we react to things rather than being ruled by our reactions. This full moon gives us the opportunity to examine our beliefs, and realign with our spiritual truths.
In this Anahata Sessions healing night, participants will receive individual hands-on healing and sonic acupuncture through a deep 1-hour-long Gong meditation, bringing us into resonance with our Universal essence. Swimming through the cosmic waters of Pisces, we open to the super portal of the Full Moon in Virgo early next week. This is a powerful moment for visioning, innovation, and renewal. We will close the meditation with a collective integration, allowing what has surfaced to gently land. Together, we weave a moment of nourishment for the heart and mind—strengthening ourselves for the changes ahead and welcoming the visions and innovations seeking expression through us this year.
