Friday, January 19 at 7 PM - 8 PM Introduction to Sacred Self-Healing
SSH Circle Format: The Sacred Self-Healing Circle will consist of a one hour gathering during which we will listen to one of twenty-four different 20± minute recorded guided meditations followed by discussion. THE BASIC IDEA: The Sacred Self-Healing program consists of 24 steps and utilizes several layers of energy work with the purpose being to gently guide and empower us to become more aware of our energy systems and how to reconnect with our innate self-healing abilities. THE STEPS: Although each step stands alone, most of the 24 steps were designed in clusters of two, gradually rising in vibratory rate. Each group of two steps utilizes the same background music and completes the process for a particular energetic resonance to be integrated. The groups each consist of one connecting step (guided by Jona Bryndis of transCODES.com) and one clearing and integrating step (guided by Jeff Casper of SelfUnification.com). THE RESONANCES: Resonances are healing frequencies that serve as energetic alignment for each step. Each meditation and its music is coded to a particular resonance which will be noted at the start of each recorded guided meditation session. These resonances are the main energetic focus of the program. Some of the steps will work with our heart’s resonance only, others were chosen to work with any mental resistances that may be present. THE PATHWAY: On a deeper level, the 24 steps are divided into 12 main resonances which incorporate the principles of the 12-step program. The course is therefore suitable for supplemental recovery work and a very effective tool to address all forms of addictive structure in our inner and outer relationships. Through exploring the deeper aspects of Ego, Shadow, Inner Child, Divine Masculine and Feminine aspects, Karma, Inner Divinity and False self, we are allowing these ego-layers to transcend as we build a new foundation. The goal is to learn hands-on tools and strategies for reclaiming our inner power and becoming aware of the ego’s stalling tactics so that we can see more options and choices than before. Each step is designed to help us understand our ego a bit better, allowing us not only to better self-reflect and reason, but first and foremost, to experience true compassion and forgiveness for ourselves and past choices.

I left informed, evolved and excited for the next one.” WHAT YOU RECEIVE: • New prayer practices you can start using immediately • Different prayers from around the world • A deeper understanding about why prayer is necessary • Improved dialogue and interpersonal skills • A more intimate relationship with God, Source, Spirit, etc. • A safe and open environment where asking questions is encouraged • In-person connection with people who love learning about what other people believe $35 in advance.

Thursday, November 30 at 7 PM - 8:30 PM Tea is the vehicle, the destination is the heart.
Sacred Tea Ceremony is a journey into the Heart. We come together and sit in silence as we connect to the ways of the ancients. Ceremonial grade incense burns as we settle in with a few deep breaths and the sounds of ambient music supporting our process. Together we sit in silence as I open the field and begin to serve you one of Nature’s greatest medicines. Each bowl of tea gently guides us into a meditative softening, an opening to our inner realms. Through this space that Tea creates we are able to listen, to truly hear our Highest Selves. The leaves used in our ceremonies are extremely unique in that they are all organic and come from, wild, old growth trees and plants that are sustainably grown and harvested by farmers who love, respect, and understand the power of this medicine. Living Tea, as it is known in my tradition, has the power to cleanse, purify, ground and heal the Spirit, and when treated as ancient medicine, will guide us to subtle areas within that will be gently healed and processed. Qi is balanced and with each ceremony we are born anew. Tea ceremony is a sacred art, an experience that opens the doors of our inner heart and grants us access to places within that may be difficult to touch on our own. If you have felt the call to sit in ceremony, the time is now to respond to that inner voice. Follow your intuition and your true heart's calling to this truly profound and life changing experience. Please come to ceremony having eaten a light and nourishing meal (avoid processed foods, heavy/starchy foods, meats, or sugar so that your body is able to benefit and receive all the tea has to offer). Also be sure to avoid heavy perfumes or any chemical sprays. You can come into the space with your beginners mind, ready to just Be and to just receive whatever it is your body and mind need at that time. Cost is $35/person 1.5 hours Max 11 Advance registration required. Reserve your spot here. Ashley Smith into the Heart l into the Sacred Sacred Tea Ceremonies, Women's Awakening, Empowerment and Healing intotheHeart.co *Respond to every call that excites your Spirit* Tuesday, November 28 at 7 PM - 9:30 PM Join us for an intimate evening of sharing our hearts and voices through sacred sound and ceremonial cacao. Together, we will co-create a safe space of healing and transformation, in which we can release blockages, reclaim our power, and shift our frequencies, coming into resonance with our natural state. ABOUT CACAO: Our delicious cacao has been nurtured by Mayans in the Pacific rainforest region of Guatemala, and directly-traded to and processed by loving hands at the magical Lake Atitlán. Traditionally, cacao has been used shamanically by the ancient Mayan and Aztec cultures; it has been rightly called the "Food of the Gods", bringing re-membrance of our divinity. The spiritual energy of cacao brings a subtle heart-opening and activation of the higher energy centers, making it ideal for spiritual exploration and multi-dimensional communication. As a loving partner, cacao assists us in personal and planetary healing in the light of the highest good. Drinking cacao is always optional – you're welcome to enjoy the ceremony with or without actually partaking in the cacao! $20 in advance / $25 same day https://www.paypal.me/MaggieTaurick About the instructor: Maggie Taurick, visiting us from San Francisco, is a yogini, designer, and carrier of sacred sound. She has been practicing yoga for over 12 years and is forever a student, constantly deepening her practice and exploring ways to integrate it further into her life. This exploration has led her to the unique combination of sound and cacao, which she became immersed in while living in Guatemala. With the help of these tools, she guides students to recognize the infinite wisdom within them; bringing more intention, freedom, and awareness to their daily lives.  Saturday, September 9 - 3:30 PM - 5 PM Join us for an exploration of finding balance through music, Ayurveda and Bhakti Yoga.
Bhakti Yoga is the yoga of love and devotion. It is often practiced through uplifting music and chanting shared in a group called a Kirtan. Those who love music, singing or chanting may think all music is good. However, some music may put you to sleep while it energizes another. Why can one song bring up feelings of irritability or even anger while another soothes your soul? Ayurveda, or the Science of Life, explains why everything we do (including the smallest things) can bring us closer to balance or further away. It all depends on our unique blend of qualities. IN THIS CLASS: We will learn about Ayurveda and our individual nature or doshas. We will identify the quality of music most suited to our nature and for bringing us equanimity. Then we will practice Bhakti Yoga and finish with our own Kirtan! Come raise your voice in song! Love donations appreciated, no one will be turned away.
