Rewriting the Story:
A Journey into Creative Awakening
November 9, 2025 • REGISTER HERE
Step into a sacred space designed to help you rediscover your authentic voice and awaken the creative essence within. This immersive Medicine experience invites you to explore the deep landscapes of your inner world—where memory, emotion, and imagination intertwine to form the stories that shape your life.
Through the gentle guidance of sound, rhythm, and reflection, we will embark on a collective journey of remembering and re-authoring. Live soundbath and ceremonial drumming will deepen us into pathways of altered states of consciousness, allowing insight and inspiration to flow freely. Guided journaling prompts and periods of self-inquiry will help you trace the threads of your personal history—acknowledging the reflections and projections of others that have shaped your sense of self.
Within our supportive circle, you will be invited to release outdated narratives and rewrite your story as one rooted in truth, creativity, and self-love. Group sharing and integration practices will help you anchor your insights into embodied wisdom and authentic expression.
Together, we will drum, breathe, and remember—honoring the medicine of community and the innate power of creativity to heal, transform, and reveal who we truly are.
Embodied Expression:
The Medicine of Dance, Breath and Rhythm
November 16, 2025 • REGISTER HERE
Step into a ceremonial space where rhythm, breath, and movement become medicine. In this mushroom supported journey, we awaken creativity and embodiment through ecstatic dance, conscious breathwork, and live sound immersion. Together we will drum, dance, and dissolve the old stories that limit our expression—rewriting them through the language of the body and the heartbeat of community.
We begin with guided breathwork to center awareness and activate the inner fire of presence. As the medicine unfolds, we open into freeform ecstatic dance—an invitation to move without inhibition, to let rhythm lead and the soul speak through motion. Drums pulse alongside your own heartbeat, inviting spontaneous expression and release. You are welcome to bring your own drum/rattle/shaker or join the collective rhythm as we create music together.
A live soundbath of gongs, bowls, drums, and voice then carries us into deep surrender. In the stillness that follows, we integrate through journaling and sharing—anchoring insight into embodied truth.
This is not performance but co created container where we celebrate the body as an instrument of healing and truth. Through rhythm, breath, and sound, we remember our innate wholeness and the joy of being fully, unapologetically alive.
Voice of the Soul:
Journey back to your Breath, Voice and Creation
November 23, 2025 • REGISTER HERE
This sacred immersion invites you to rediscover your authentic voice—the primal instrument of truth, healing, and connection. Through sacred mushroom assisted breathwork, toning, chanting, drumming, and the creation of your own drum or rattle, you will reclaim the power of expression that has long lived in your bones and breath.
We begin with conscious breathwork to awaken the inner current of sound and spirit. As the medicine opens the senses, we explore toning and chanting to release tension and expand resonance in the body. Through guided vocal practices, we unearth the voice beyond words—the voice that remembers prayer, grief, joy, and belonging.
The journey continues with hands-on creation: shaping your own sacred drum or rattle as an extension of your voice and heartbeat. As we build these instruments, we weave our intentions into their very fibers, birthing tools for self healing and ceremony. Live drumming and group song weave us together in collective rhythm. Sound becomes the bridge between worlds—the language through which our souls remember themselves.
In closing, we gather for reflection and integration, grounding our discoveries through journaling, gentle movement, and shared song.
This is not a workshop in performance or music- it is a homecoming. A return to the ancient medicine of heartbeat, breath and your own voice.
