EVENTS

SOUND ALCHEMY: A Meditative Journey Through Sound

JIVA YOGA CENTER: Hilton Head Island, SC

First Saturday: Sept. 6th, Oct. 4th, Nov. 1st, Dec. 6th 3pm - 4:15pm

Sacred Exchange: $45

The ancient art creation of sound alchemy spans cross-cultures & traditions throughout time. It is a powerful modality combining sounds, frequencies, and vibrations of various instruments to tap into and improve our multidimensional well being, guiding us into a deeper state of meditation. During this meditation, your body will have the capacity to change at a cellular level by alchemizing the accumulation of stress you’ve been storing, returning you back into harmonious balance. It is through this experience, in which our luminous energy field (body, mind, soul, spirit) can be gently awakened and be lovingly restored, reset, and activated.

Let’s all come together uniting our luminous vessels as we alchemize and realign into peace and harmony.

AUTUMNAL EQUINOX: SOMATIC MOVEMENT & BREATH with SACRED CACAO

Saturday: Sept. 20th 3pm - 5pm

Location: To be announced soon

Sacred Exchange: $65

Join me for a warming Autumnal Equinox Celbration! The Autumnal Equinox represents a time of balance between darkness and lightness. It is a celebration associated with the harvest, reflection, and letting go what no longer serves us, as we prepare fr the darker months to come.

First we will awaken our senses and open our hearts through a delicious dose of ceremonial cacao as we set our Equinox intentions for our journey. You will then be guided into a transformational journey of conscious connected breathwork, exploring your inner awareness and learning how to harness the potency of your breath. Breathwork is a transformational practice which gives you control over your state of mind and your body’s chemistry and helps you to release trapped & stagnant energy. The combination of ceremonial cacao and breathwork will enable you to access and open your heart to receiving even more love and support. Followed by the breath we will add in an additional energizing dose of cacao (if you so choose) and guided intentional fluid somatic movements. These exploratory movements will help you to shake off any residual and stagnant energy, from the breath sequence, tapping into the deep layers of your soma as you move through feeling not thinking, eventually leading you into your own unique dance & expression. Somatic movement has the capacities to take you into the great depths of innate wisdom and intelligence that you already hold within, while also grounding you back into your true authentic self.

This Autumnal Equinox Celebration will be an ecstatic energetic offering, creating space for you to release, transform and alchemize as you open your heart and honor the balance of light & darkness within.

What is Ceremonial Cacao? It is 100% pure grade cacao. Planted, farmed & harvested with intention. Cacao originates in the Amazon and in indigenous societies of Mexico, Central & South America. These cultures have used cacao as a food, a medicine, and a currency for hundreds, if not thousands of years. Cacao was highly valued to these ancient cultures and in fact Theobroma (the genius of Cacao) translates as ‘Food of the Gods.’ When ingested, it helps to trigger your ‘feel good’ hormones & endorphins, including dopamine, theobromine & anandamide. Cacao is known to increase blood flow to the brain up to 30-40%, supports higher cognitive functions and accentuates a loving and open heart presence. In addition, ceremonial cacao supports us to access our emotional and energy body, connecting us deeper with our hearts and bringing out feelings of deep love & gratitude.
