🌸 Spring Equinox: Voice Activation, Qigong & Soundbath Journey
March 21 | A Celebration of New Beginnings
Join us for a nourishing evening of gentle movement, vocal awakening, and sound healing as we welcome the Spring Equinox for a new season of growth.
The Spring Equinox marks a moment of balance, equal light and dark, inviting us to align, reset, and plant seeds for what we wish to cultivate in the months ahead. Together, we will move, breathe, sound, and receive in a sacred and supportive group space.
What to Expect
We will begin with a guided Qigong practice led by Dr. Sinead, designed to gently awaken the body’s energy channels, increase vitality, and harmonize the flow of life force (Qi). Through mindful movement and breath, you’ll ground into your body while inviting in fresh spring energy.
From there, you will be guided into a powerful Voice Activation practice led by Rush. This is a unique weaving of breathwork, vocal technique, and sacred mantra to awaken and align your voice and chakra system. This experience is designed to help you release stagnation, clear energetic blockages, and reconnect to your authentic expression.
No prior singing or movement experience is necessary. This is a safe, welcoming container for exploration, play, and embodied expression.
We will close the evening with an immersive Holographic Sound Healing Journey featuring Tibetan singing bowls, crystal alchemy bowls, gong, chimes, and voice. These healing frequencies guide the nervous system into deep restoration, allowing physical, emotional, and energetic integration.
The evening will also include intention setting aligned with the Equinox, supporting you in planting seeds for clarity, confidence, creativity, and aligned action.
You will leave feeling:✨ Grounded and centered✨ Energized yet deeply relaxed✨ Clear and inspired✨ More connected to your voice and inner truth

ABOUT THE OFFERINGS:
QIGONG is translated as “cultivation of vitality”. These soft and gentle movements help to reset and reprogram the nervous system, while visualizations help to expand and brighten the mind. Emphasis of classwill be on healing and balancing the LIVER SYSTEM, the "organ of Springtime" according to Chinese Medicine, and the WOOD ELEMENT which includes the gallbladder, tendons, eyesite, diaphragm, nervous system, and aspects of hormone + reproductive health.
VOCAL ACTIVATION: A unique weaving of breathwork, vocal technique, and sacred mantra to awaken and align your voice and chakra system. This experience is designed to help you release stagnation, clear energetic blockages, and reconnect to your authentic expression.
SOUNDBATH: Sound is a powerful tool for relaxation. You will be immersed in a "sonic bath" of healing frequencies. The sound bath will be a live performance featuring Tibetan singing bowls and gongs, crystal Alchemy singing bowls, voice, and chimes.
