Whispers Of Spirit ~ A Deep Sound Healing
Saturday October 11 at 5:45 PM
Whispers of Spirit is an offering to this sacred time of the year. At the heart of this sound healing is the deep hum of the gong and its vibrations rolling like thunder across the autumn sky, stirring the soul and opening doorways to silence within. Supported by crystal bowls and other layers of sacred sound, the gong's powerful resonance becomes a river of healing vibrations, carrying you beyond thought and into presence.
October arrives with its golden light and lengthening shadows, a month of turning inward as the earth begins to rest. The air carries a hush, leaves drift like prayers in the wind, and the veil between worlds feels thinner, inviting us to listen more deeply. This season reminds us that endings are not to be feared... they are simply passages into new beginnings, cycles of surrender that reveals the wisdom within. Just as the trees release their leaves, this sound healing invites you to release what no longer serves you, making space for clarity and renewal. The frequencies move through the body like October winds, shaking loose all the heaviness and guiding you toward the warm quite flame within. The deep magic of October invites us to gather and listen as a community. To soften into stillness, and to feel the presence of something greater than ourselves. It is a time to honor both the beauty of letting go and the sweetness of what remains.
Please bring an open mind, your mat, and any personal comfort items.
"As a courtesy to all guests this event begins promptly, and late entry will not be permitted"
Spots are limited to honor the spaciousness of the practice.

Spotlight Topic - The 7 Chakras
What is a Chakra? Chakras are known as the body’s energy centers. Though we are said to possess countless chakras, there are seven major chakras vertically spanning the midline of the body from the base of the spine to the crown of the head. Each chakra governs a particular area of the body, element, emotion, and mental state. When the chakras are open, they allow a free flow of energy that facilitates a balanced and healthy life. The chakras are associated with particular deities that represent a different aspect within us. They mirror our emotions and behaviors and reflect to the subconscious feelings, habits, and thoughts that make-up or foster our growth. Each is connected to a higher brain center. Chakras in the legs relate to animal instinct and consciousness, while chakras above Muladhara or first chakra relate to human consciousness and spiritual evolution. Symbolism is important for awakening the chakras. Each chakra is represented by a color, a yantra (geometrical shape), a beej mantra (sacred seed sound), an animal symbol, divine beings, and a lotus flower with a specific number of petals. The chakras are subtle manifestations of human consciousness, and their purification enables kundalini energy to rise upward for the ultimate yogic goal of self-realization.
