This workshop will nurture your body, mind, and heart. You’ll begin with gentle movement accompanied by the calming tomes of the handpan and the Native flutes. From there, you’ll be guided into Yoga Nidra, resting in profound stillness as the vibrations of crystals bowls wash over you.

This is a meditation experience guided by sacred healing frequencies that support your mind, body,and spirit. As the vibrations pass through your body, emotional wounds, energetic stagnation, pain and toxins are transformed. Your chakras are cleansed and your brain is able to process subconscious traumas, leaving you feeling lighter and happier. Sound healing strengthens your spiritual connection and empowers your most radiant self!

This immersive workshop is designed to support the release of energetic and emotional stagnation across the seven major energy centers of the body. Participants are invited to focus on each energy center as they experience its corresponding vibrational resonance.

The workshop begins with a brief overview of the chakra system, offering insight into the qualities of each chakra and how they influence overall well-being. This is followed by a 50+ minute sound journey, with approximately eight minutes dedicated to each chakra. As participants bring their awareness to each energy center, Joseph plays didgeridoos tuned to the specific keys of the chakras, accompanied by the soothing tones of concert-pitch contemporary Himalayan singing bowls.

Together, these sounds create a harmonious and clearing vibrational field. The workshop concludes with time for reflection, questions, and discussion.
