Naked Sound
Naked Sound: Heal Yourself…
Heal the World
Libertate the mysterious beauty of your unconditional heart & encounter your voice as mediciine and an instrument of healing - for yourself and all of creation.
This deeply nourishing, experiential, shamanic workshop invites us to encounter the inexplicable magic of breathing and sounding as One Being. The Throat Chakra opens to the Void where the Mother of Life and Death moves through us as raw, primordial sound, seed syllables, wordless, timeless, boundary-less, dissolving conditioned limitations and obstructions, carrying us beyond fragmentation, beyond inner and outer conflicts, beyond all illusions of separation into the organic, allpervading Wholeness of Creation itself. Living vibration and feeling, cross boundaries of language, borders of nations, piercing the Veil, birthing Life, touching the Dead… Liberate the mysterious beauty of your unconditioned heart, encounter your voice as medicine, as an instrument of healing—for yourself, and for All of Creation. Sound, by its very nature, touches everyone, this workshop welcomes all paths, all identifications. Although musicians love this work, no previous musical experience is required.

Prenatal Movement, Art, and Tea
Let's illuminate the path together...
This class is crafted especially for you, Mama, if you are seeking movement, breath connection, and community with other pregnant mothers. Through meditation, sound, yoga, qigong, dance, and art (no experience required—we'll be using crayons), we'll ground into ourselves and embrace our shared journey of motherhood.
With over 20 years of study in Yoga and Qi Gong, coupled with my experience as a Doula, each session is infused with depth and presence. I'm thrilled to share my favorite techniques for preparing the body for birth, releasing daily stress, and fostering connection. My greatest joy lies in creating a space where you can meet one another, find strength, and embrace the common experiences of carrying life and becoming a mother."

Rhythm Maker Retreat
We are going to host a rattle birthing workshop here at the Gainesville Retreat Center and ending with a ceremony at my home Oct 13th-16th!
I have been talking with Tara for years about doing workshops together and it’s finally happening! This is NOT your average rattle making btw as if there were such a thing…This rattle making is a shamanic journey through yourself to call forth your authentic voice in community.
This will also be the birthing of a women’s lodge and the first women’s work on my land as we will be building a sweat lodge and fire for the last evening of the workshop.
Tara is a true medicine woman and I feel honored to have her as one of my closest and longest friendships. We have been friends since the age of 15 and have seen each through so much. We are coming together now to offer back as our children get older we have the time and the wisdom and rejoice in the ability to be of service to you! Giving thanks for all we have received we look forward to sharing our collaborative medicine as we journey through the elements and ourselves in a rhythmic rebirthing. We hope you’ll join us~
Mother’s New Moon Yoni Steam
Come Mama
Let us get together and honor the waters of our womb, our creative life force, release what is no longer serving us in this moment, and call in what we need and want to manifest in this new lunar cycle.
This sacred sitting will be offered once a month around the new moon.
I feel passionate about bringing together postpartum mothers in sacred intentional and healing space. Recognizing that once we have carried life even if we never gave birth we are forever postpartum.
This is a time to connect and nurture ourselves within the container of community.
We will begin by drinking tea introducing some of the herbs to our mouths as we get connected and ground into the space. We will then move into a guided meditation and intentional quiet, and reflective space during the steaming.
*There will be space for reflection and time to journal after if you feel called.
Pre registration is required so that I can be prepared for you and show up in the best way possible
Limited to 6 women
Cost $30
