What to bring?
We encourage you to bring your yoga mat/blanket, choice of item to lay or sit. Bring a water bottle for hydration, and be prepared for the weather of the day.
You may also bring any tools to further assist you in your experience. What you already use in your rituals. We also encourage a journal and pen as you will have periods where a deeper self-introspection is available. Although not required at all.
(some examples: crystals, a scarf/eye mask to cover your eyes, a blanket, a journal/pen, oracle cards, essential oils, etc.) What you usually integrate into your daily practice, feel more than welcome to bring with you.
A preview of our day:
We begin Inner Sync with our Grounding Welcome + Land Acknowledgements, where we begin our circle by acknowledging and extending our gratitude to the sacred Kumeyaay land we will be healing with. We will also be honoring our ancestors and all of the elemental energies present. We will be grounding with our breath and tapping into our energetic bodies. This is the time to be in your presence, in your inner bubble of grounding, observance, and protection.
Then we will gently transition into our gratitude prayers circle. Here, we come together and hold hands to honor our presence and gratitude. After acknowledging the sacred land, it is now time to honor every soul present. This exercise allows us to learn beings/souls' preferred names and pronouns. To meet, connect & engage with the space & also begin to get to know beautiful beings in our community. It is also an opportunity for all of us to practice expressing our gratitude as well, set our intentions & say any prayers we wish to say in a powerful collective circle.
After, we will transition into a Multi-Facilitator Sound Bath, Guided Meditation created to assist you into an inward, deep meditative state of self-introspection. A space where you can dive deep within your own inner sync. Each meditation is guided by the flow of spirit, yet the themes will focus on mainly assisting you in diving deeper into your own unique inner wisdom, growth, empowerment + connection. The sound healing journey consists of instruments such as: Crystal Singing Bowls, a Rain Stick, a Native Flute, a drum, a chime, & third eye tuners. And then our special guides of honor add their own sound instruments as well, which varies.
We will then transition into Integration. Before standing up, we will practice slowly intentionally transitioning. Take your time to be present with your body and recollect any messages you received during your sound journey. Do not rush and take your time. This is your time to take out your journal if you'd like. OR just sit/lay there. The important thing to do here is to not rush to get up, and sit with yourself before transitioning. Here we practice how to slow down and connect with our bodies to receive the vibrations. Holding space for your integration (a little) before...
Lastly, we will transition into our big group community conversation & authentic reflection and relation. An opportunity for us to share with the community and further exercise our throat (communication) channels. Here you may share whatever you feel called to share with the group. Whether it be a mirroring connection, a gratitude expression, words of wisdom, a vulnerable reflection, or sound healing experience, whatever you speak into this circle is meant to be said & heard. Those urges to speak up, we bravely encourage them at Inner Sync and hold this space at the end to allow for community members to share those reflections and feedback that are deeply appreciated & heard.
Lastly, we close off the circle with coming back to ourselves and Earth. We will be doing exercises such as Breathwork, chanting, or somatic practice, depending on the facilitator who closes the circle. The intention here is to recollect and just enjoy a last moment of stillness in the space with self and Earth. Take out your journal here if you'd like. Holding space for a little bit more integration.
