A Flute Healing Journey

Nate Long “Owl”, a Shamanic Practitioner and Intentional Artist, is traveling from Austin, TX to share his medicine with our community.

This unique experience invites you to embark on a journey that connects you with the helpers in your life, both seen and unseen. Helpers are everywhere in our lives. Both known and unknown. People, spirits, animals, nature. Our spiritual tools are our helpers too, whether a drum, rattle, staff, pendulum, or singing bowl. By first acknowledging and then honoring the consciousness and spirit of the helpers, our relationship with all things and our perception of the world around us becomes more balanced. This balance is healing and a very important part of the process of finding peace of mind and comfort in the body, mind, and soul. 

During this Flute Healing Journey, Nate will weave together the soothing tones of the flute, the rhythmic heartbeat of the drum, and the power of voice to create a meditative soundscape. You’ll be gently guided to explore the presence of your helpers and to acknowledge their role in your life’s healing process.

This is more than just a sound healing session—it’s a space to set your own intentions, deepen your connection to yourself and the energies that support you, and leave feeling lighter, more balanced, and profoundly connected.

To fully engage with the energy of this experience, attendees are asked to bring a special intention to the Flute Healing Journey. Reflect on an area of your life that needs balance, clarity, or healing. Whether it’s a relationship, a personal goal, or an aspect of your spiritual path, this intention will guide your experience and the insights you receive.
