Peace! Thank you for being here! <3 This offering blends the healing power of sound with the intentionality of restorative practices in honor of collective healing. creates sacred space for emotional understanding, deeper listening, and meaningful community connection.

WHAT TO EXPECT

We begin with gentle grounding and co-creating sacred agreements, inviting everyone into presence and safety. Then, you will be led through a guided sound journey designed to calm and care for your nervous system, release stored tension, and prepare the mind, body, and spirit for honest, heart-centered conversation.

Following this, we transition into a restorative circle process rooted in Indigenous talking circle traditions, honoring every voice, inviting reflection, and fostering connection.

Opening and closing rituals frame the experience, emphasizing interconnectedness and belonging.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS

This launch event celebrates 3 years of my journey as a self-employed therapist, holistic wellness guide, and sound journey practitioner! Light snacks will be provided to nourish your body as you nourish your spirit!

💜 This offering is rooted in community care, and I deeply believe that wellness and healing spaces should be accessible. A limited number of "community care" tickets are available to ensure no one is turned away due to lack of funds. If those fill up and you’d still like to attend, feel free to reach out and I’ll do my best to hold space for you. If you’re in a position to give more, you’re welcome to sponsor a spot for someone else or make a general donation to help cover snacks and materials. Every offering supports me in continuing to serve in this way!

Info: Guests are welcomed into the space to find their spot, get comfortable, connect lightly with others, and enjoy light refreshments and snacks. This is a gentle arrival window so there's no pressure to be “on.”

Info: I’ll open our time together with a warm welcome with introducing myself, sharing the inspiration and intention behind Restore, and opening our sacred container for the experience we’re about to co-create. We’ll ground together before we begin.

Info: We’ll co-create our sacred agreements for the space, and I’ll guide you through each element of the circle process, including the talking piece, our community altar (i.e., centerpiece), opening and closing rituals, and more.

Info: I’ll be your guide for this soothing sound journey to support nervous system care, deep rest, and inner stillness, gently preparing your mind, body, and spirit for meaningful reflection and connection.

Info: After the sound journey, we’ll sit together in quiet stillness. This is your space to breathe, reflect, and notice what’s come up for you. While you're welcome to write some of your reflections, there's no need to say or do anything. This is a time to just be.

Info: We’ll gather in circle, grounded in Indigenous traditions and guided by a series of reflection prompts. Using the talking piece, we'll honor every voice. This means that everyone will have a chance to speak from the heart and be fully heard, if they choose. This portion is not about advice-giving. It’s about being fully present with your own experience and with each other.

Info: I’ll share some closing thoughts, words of gratitude, and info about how you can stay connected and join future offerings, if you’d like to stay in community. You’ll have a moment to gather yourself, revisit our community altar, or exchange contact info with someone you connected with. You’ll leave feeling grounded, held, and renewed.
