Summer Series
July
Laura Silverman takes us on an exploration of ceremony in July’s Spirit Lab. We will enter sacred ceremony with Cacao and a sound journey.
A Mayan legend tells us that whenever there is an imbalance between humans and nature, cacao comes from the rainforest to open people’s hearts and return the planet to a state of harmony. Some shamans, therefore, consider cacao the 'food for the shift.' It represents the new order of love and peace, which is being cultivated right now. This session is being conducted in advance of a full moon. Mayans treated this as a period for culmination, illumination, connection and unity, creativity, and release and renewal. You are invited to focus on any one or all of these lunar energies as you imbibe ceremonial cacao within a rich healing soundscape.
Bring whatever mat, blankets, pillows, eye mask, and supportive crystals or icons you may enjoy as you settle into an extended period of healing. This ceremony is not suitable for anyone taking MAOI medications. Please contact us for more information.

September
Kimmy Yon returns with a leading edge internal alchemical experience that will move us into a fuller expression of our essential Self in September’s Spirit Lab.
This Spirit Lab was birthed out of a channeled writing message received on Lion's Gate, 8/8/2024. We will explore expanding with breathwork and humming, a meditation where we meet our future selves and curating our new narratives through an embodied writing practice. We'll be creating the constellation of you; connecting the dots and generating the space for our authentic selves to shine.
