Awaken • Align • Remember Who You Are
Join Crissy and Jason for a restorative Lion’s Gate Portal Cacao Ceremony and Sound Bath beneath the powerful 8/8 gateway.
On August 8th, the Earth, Sun, and Sirius align in the Lion’s Gate Portal. This is a celestial event associated with awakening, courage, abundance, and higher wisdom. This alignment is believed to amplify clarity, expansion, and soul remembrance.
The evening will begin by attuning to Lion’s Gate energy. Each person will receive an oracle card pull and ceremonial cacao, prepared with ethically sourced, vegan, organic cacao from Peru. The experience then flows into gentle community connection, a guided meditation for inner alignment, and remembrance. It closes with a restorative sound bath of 432 Hz crystal singing bowls, gentle percussion, and healing frequencies for integration and nervous system relaxation.
This experience supports spiritual connection, emotional renewal, clarity, heart-centered manifestation, and deeper trust in your inner guidance.
Please bring a yoga mat, pillow, blanket, and anything else that helps you feel comfortable and supported during the sound bath.
This event is offered on Saturday, August 8th from 6:00-7:15pm (EST)

Breathwork Journey
2026-08-09 14:00 - 15:00 UTC
This Breathwork Journey is an invitation to slow down, soften, and reconnect with yourself through the power of conscious breathing.
Breathwork is a gentle yet powerful somatic practice that helps calm the nervous system, release stored stress and emotions, and create space for clarity, grounding, and inner connection. Using a guided breathing pattern, participants are supported in moving out of the mind and into the body — allowing the breath to gently unwind tension and bring the system back into balance.
Each class is trauma-aware, heart-centered, and guided with deep care. You’ll be in a safe, supportive environment where nothing is forced and everything is invited.
What to expect:
• A brief grounding and intention setting
• Guided breathwork journey
• Time for rest and integration
• Optional sharing at the end (always your choice)
This practice is supportive for anyone feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, emotionally heavy, or simply longing for deeper presence and calm. No prior experience is needed — just a willingness to breathe and be with yourself.
Come as you are. Rest, release, and reconnect.
This event is offered on Sunday, August 9th from 2:00-3:00pm (EST)

Shamanic Drumming Journey
2026-08-16 15:30 - 17:00 (America/New_York)
Join us for a deep dive into the ancient practice of shamanic drumming, a journey for the soul!
Shamanic journeying is a spiritual tradition that has been passed down by elders, teachers and practitioners across the world. The practice focuses on restoring balance, calling back your power, and reconnecting with your deeper inner knowing.

It will gently guide you into a meditative/alpha state where you will connect with your higher self, spirit guides, and the deeper intelligence that is always inside of you.
During your sacred journey, you may receive images, sensations, messages, or feel an undeniable knowing. Some participants have even reported gaining new clarity into their lives. But regardless of your journey, you will be in control. The practitioner will act as a guide while you remain the driver in a safe, supported, and deeply compassionate space.
Join us for an evening of connection, insight, energy cleaning and soul restoration.
Please bring a yoga mat, blanket, cushion and anything else that will help you feel comfortable and supported. Extras will be provided if needed. You may want to bring a journal and bottle of water also.

Conscious Dance – Dancing Freedom
2026-08-23 14:00 - 15:30 UTC
Dancing Freedom is a conscious movement practice rooted in embodiment, expression, and connection. This is not choreography — it’s an invitation to move from the inside out and let your body lead.
The dance begins with a gentle warm-up and opening circle before moving through a guided, music-driven journey inspired by the elements: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether.
Through these elemental waves, participants are invited to explore grounding, flow, power, lightness, and spaciousness — releasing what no longer serves and awakening vitality, joy, and presence.
The experience concludes with a brief reflection, a paired witness dance, and a closing circle, allowing space for integration and connection.
What to expect:
• A welcoming, non-judgmental space
• Guided elemental movement journey
• Music, expression, and embodied release
• Integration and reflection
• Community connection
No dance experience is needed. This practice is for everybody — honoring your own pace, boundaries, and expression.
Move what needs to move. Reconnect with your body. Come home to yourself.

Qigong Flow
2026-09-12 15:00 - 16:00 (America/New_York)
Does your energy or routines feel stuck in the same cycle? Habitual stress—whether from emotional patterns, physical tension, or daily life—can create stagnation and blockages in your energy, leaving you feeling drained, overwhelmed, scattered or stiff. If this sounds like you, then Qigong Flow may be a great way to break the cycle and rejuvenate your energy.
The “Qi” in Qigong Flow translates to energy, and the “Gong” means to master or work with. Qigong Flow is a practice of meditative movement where you connect directly with your personal energy and vitality through intention, breath, focused awareness, and movement. Qigong Flow invites you to cultivate presence, self-awareness, resilience and a vibrant wellbeing. It supports heart-centered physical and emotional balance.
In this class, we move through gentle, yet powerful and transformational repetitive flows designed to clear energy blockages, restore energetic coherence, and encourage deep relaxation. Then each class concludes with an integrating sound healing experience to ground and restore your system.
Qigong Flow is a wonderful class to reconnect and regenerate your energy. It’s a great practice to uplift your wellbeing and spirit.

Conscious Dance – Dancing Freedom
2026-09-13 13:30 - 15:00 UTC
Dancing Freedom is a conscious movement practice rooted in embodiment, expression, and connection. This is not choreography — it’s an invitation to move from the inside out and let your body lead.
The dance begins with a gentle warm-up and opening circle before moving through a guided, music-driven journey inspired by the elements: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether.
Through these elemental waves, participants are invited to explore grounding, flow, power, lightness, and spaciousness — releasing what no longer serves and awakening vitality, joy, and presence.
The experience concludes with a brief reflection, a paired witness dance, and a closing circle, allowing space for integration and connection.
What to expect:
• A welcoming, non-judgmental space
• Guided elemental movement journey
• Music, expression, and embodied release
• Integration and reflection
• Community connection
No dance experience is needed. This practice is for everybody — honoring your own pace, boundaries, and expression.
Move what needs to move. Reconnect with your body. Come home to yourself.
This event is offered on Sunday, September 13th from 1:30-3:00pm (EST)

Shamanic Drumming Journey
2026-09-13 15:30 - 17:00 (America/New_York)
Join us for a deep dive into the ancient practice of shamanic drumming, a journey for the soul!
Shamanic journeying is a spiritual tradition that has been passed down by elders, teachers and practitioners across the world. The practice focuses on restoring balance, calling back your power, and reconnecting with your deeper inner knowing. In this event, the facilitator will perform a unique “walk about” technique that allows the drums vibrations to speak directly to the body and spirit. It will gently guide you into a meditative/alpha state where you will connect with your higher self, spirit guides, and the deeper intelligence that is always inside of you.
During your sacred journey, you may receive images, sensations, messages, or feel an undeniable knowing. Some participants have even reported gaining new clarity into their lives. But regardless of your journey, you will be in control. The practitioner will act as a guide while you remain the driver in a safe, supported, and deeply compassionate space.
Join us for an evening of connection, insight, energy cleaning and soul restoration.
Please bring a yoga mat, blanket, cushion and anything else that will help you feel comfortable and supported. Extras will be provided if needed. You may want to bring a journal and bottle of water also.
Come with a question, a longing, or simply a willingness to step beyond the conscious mind.

Awaken Your Inner Knowing – Part 1
2026-09-16 18:15 - 19:15 (America/New_York)
Learning the Language of Your Intuition
Life is constantly asking us to make important decisions. But many of us have lost touch with our own intuitive wisdom. Instead, we rely on overthinking, fear, or outside opinions, leaving us feeling disconnected from our true selves.
Awaken Your Inner Knowing – Part 1 is an interactive workshop designed to help you reconnect with your intuition and begin understanding how and where it uniquely communicates with you.
In this foundational workshop, you will learn how to:
• Clearly recognize your body’s intuitive signals and inner cues
• Discover your own unique “language” of intuition
• Differentiate between intuitive guidance, fear, and the thinking mind
• Build greater trust in your inner knowing through guided practice
• Develop simple daily practices that strengthen your intuitive connection
• Learn through Somatic techniques to gain quicker access to your inner guide
Through guided meditation, reflection, intuitive journaling, partner sharing, and experiential exercises, you’ll gain firsthand experience of what authentic intuition feels like in your own body.
This workshop is designed to give you practical tools and plenty of opportunities to practice in a supportive environment, so you leave feeling more connected, confident, and aware of the wisdom you already possess.
Whether you’re just beginning your intuitive journey or looking to strengthen an existing practice, Part 1 provides the foundation and unique somatic practice techniques for developing a lifelong relationship with your inner guidance.
This is Part 1 of a two-part intuitive development series. Participants are encouraged, but not required, to continue with Part 2 to expand and deepen their practice as well as psychic abilities. For additional practice, you may also want to join the Insight to Action – Intuitive Development Group where you will practice applying your skills to everyday life with a supportive and like-minded group of people.

Awaken Your Inner Knowing – Part 1
2026-10-14 18:15 - 19:15 (America/New_York)
Learning the Language of Your Intuition
Life is constantly asking us to make important decisions. But many of us have lost touch with our own intuitive wisdom. Instead, we rely on overthinking, fear, or outside opinions, leaving us feeling disconnected from our true selves.
Awaken Your Inner Knowing – Part 1 is an interactive workshop designed to help you reconnect with your intuition and begin understanding how and where it uniquely communicates with you.
In this foundational workshop, you will learn how to:
• Clearly recognize your body’s intuitive signals and inner cues
• Discover your own unique “language” of intuition
• Differentiate between intuitive guidance, fear, and the thinking mind
• Build greater trust in your inner knowing through guided practice
• Develop simple daily practices that strengthen your intuitive connection
• Learn through Somatic techniques to gain quicker access to your inner guide
Through guided meditation, reflection, intuitive journaling, partner sharing, and experiential exercises, you’ll gain firsthand experience of what authentic intuition feels like in your own body.
This workshop is designed to give you practical tools and plenty of opportunities to practice in a supportive environment, so you leave feeling more connected, confident, and aware of the wisdom you already possess.
Whether you’re just beginning your intuitive journey or looking to strengthen an existing practice, Part 1 provides the foundation and unique somatic practice techniques for developing a lifelong relationship with your inner guidance.
This is Part 1 of a two-part intuitive development series. Participants are encouraged, but not required, to continue with Part 2 to expand and deepen their practice as well as psychic abilities. For additional practice, you may also want to join the Insight to Action – Intuitive Development Group where you will practice applying your skills to everyday life with a supportive and like-minded group of people.
This event is offered on Wednesday, October 14th from 6:15-7:15pm (EST)
