You are lovingly invited to join us for a sacred evening of voice, presence, and heart connection hosted by @juliebalbert

A co-created safe space to offer and receive healing through mantra, music, breath, or poetic expression. Come to sing, come to listen, come to share your medicine, whether it’s a chant, a song, a poem, or a moment of stillness.

This is not a performance. It’s a space of reverence and resonance. All voices and offerings welcome. No experience needed. Just presence.

Bring:
✨ A healing song, mantra, poem, or prayer and/or any instrument (optional)
✨ A cushion, water, or anything that makes you feel grounded
✨ An open heart

Offered by donation - all donations go to TWLOHA for Suicide Prevention Awareness Month

It’s with great honor that I announce I will be hosting a drum birthing ceremony with Drum Doula on Saturday, August 30th from 10am to 5pm.

Details below:

Experience the magic of birthing your own medicine drum with your very own love, passion & energy entwined in its being. The creation of the drum is a Sacred act, bringing deeper awareness to your own creative process in which we honor the animal whose hide we are working with, the tree, the journey and the gift of life itself.

The drum making process is a birth of the Self, an opportunity to bear witness to the unravelling and re-weaving of your heart-song and spirit path.

Led by the four directions, we will delve into time-honored Sacred ways and follow the guidance of the center altar and the medicine wheel.

As a final passage, Drum Doula will drum over each newly born drum to pass on the transmission gifted to her by the Original Mother of Drums, holding ancient codes for a new time.

We will be making your choice of a 16” or 18” round elk-hide drum with salvaged yellow cedar frame and the mallet.

If you feel called to this offering and you would like to sign up, please follow this link and complete the checkout process and you will be registered! I will send an email with further instructions for our day together. Space is limited. Please reach out with any questions.

We look forward to co-creating birthing new drum voices with you! 🦋✨

You are invited to a deeply restorative collaborative healing journey with me and Jonathan, co-owner of With Intentions Holistic Studio.

We’ll begin with a guided Somatic Breathwork sessioin, using breath and sound to calm the nervous system and open the body for deep connection. Then, drop into a powerful soundscape featuring gong, crystal bowls, drums, shruti and chimes. Each designed to release tension, clear energy blockages and restore balance.

Reiki energy healing will be gently offered throughout to support emotional release, deep relaxation and reconnection with your inner light.

We’ll close with harmonizing tones of tuning forks over the body to help integrate the experience and align your energy field.

Come rest, receive and return to your true self calm, clear and deeply connected.

“The response that comes from chanting is in the form of bliss, or spiritual happiness, which is a much higher taste than any happiness found here in the material world. That’s why I say that the more you do it, the more you don’t want to stop, because it feels so nice and peaceful.”
