Guelph Conscious Dance.jpg

Guelph Conscious Dance

Saturday, October 19th, 7:30-9 pm

Conscious dance leads participants on a movement journey of physical and emotional transformation. Through breath, sweat, and expression, participants experience themselves as pure powerful energy. 

 

Conscious dance is not about learning steps, it’s about allowing what is invisible within us (emotions, sensations, images, impulses) to be expressed through our unique movement and style. It activates the imagination and utilizes diverse music to create an ecstatic celebration of the human spirit.

 

The music will follow an arc, beginning with slower, grounding music, building up to faster dance beats intended to invite release, and then transitioning back down to prayerful music. There is no right or wrong way to move. Best to simply show and "be moved".

 

Check out this YouTube video of me explaining conscious dance.

 

Arrive between 7:15-7:30 pm. Street-level doors will be locked by 7:35 pm. The dance will start at 7:30 and end at 9 p.m.

 

Where: 42 Quebec Street, 3rd floor, Guelph, On.

Cost: $20 cash at the door or e-transfer: breathetrue@gmail.com​​

Earth My Body, Sound My Soul_edited.jpg

Earth My Body, Sound My Soul

Sunday, November, 3rd, 1-4 pm

During this 3-hour workshop, participants will be guided through two unique journeys- an earth/body physical journey and a sound/soul ethereal journey.

​

We will begin with a grounding body practice involving breath work, deep body stretches, and a fun, shaking earth-medicine dance.

​

Next, we will settle into a heart-opening meditation supported by drinking sacred cacao medicine.

 

We will then transition into an expansive, sacred sound bath that will take us deep into our vibratory nature and beyond. Sacred sound can easily instil the theta brain wave state (a deeply relaxed state of mind) where there's a strong connection to our creativity, memories, intuition, and dreams. Theta brain wave states are akin to deep qualities of meditation, prayer, and spiritual awakening experiences.

​

Enjoy the healing sound frequencies of Paiste Gongs, crystal singing bowls, Auracle hand pan, frame drums, rattles, ocean drums, shruti box, chimes, tuning forks, vocal toning, and more. Leave feeling resonated, rested, and restored.

​

Please bring a yoga mat and water bottle (I have blankets and cushions) and wear comfortable clothes. Maximum 6 people.

​

Where: My home studio in Guelph, ON.

Maximum 5 participants

Cost: $75

Chakra Training_edited.jpg

Sound Healing Practitioner's Chakra Training Course

Sunday, Nov. 10th, 10 am-5 pm

This one-day workshop is perfect for anyone who wants to learn more about the ancient Hindu chakra system and how it relates to sound and vibration. I will tailor this course for people who are already working in the healing arts profession and want to embellish their existing practice with more information regarding sound healing and the chakras. 

 

We will learn how the 7 centres relate to our bodies and psychology. We will explore these energies through movement, chanting, and sound healing.

 

Participants will experience a group chakra sound bath followed by a discussion of the sound healing techniques and musical instruments used to invigorate each of the 7 centres. We will then practice playing the musical instruments and create a chakra sound healing journey for each other.

 

I'm happy to advise participants on what musical instruments they need to offer their chakra sound journeys and where to purchase them. 

 

This will be a practical, hands-on, experiential workshop and you will leave with new information and skills to enable you to facilitate a similar sound journey for others. I will supply all the musical instruments, mattresses, blankets, pillows, bolsters, etc

Shaluha-ka (Messages From The Spirits)_edited.jpg

Shaluha-Ka

On-Going

Shaluha-Ka is both a healing technique and a meditation practice based on the ancient Kabbalah Tree of Life. It was taught to me by Chaty Secaira, founder of Las Pyramides Meditation Centre in San Marcos, Guatemala. I have embellished this healing modality to include sacred cacao, intention setting with animal spirit guides, auric cleansing of the 4 elements in the body, and sound healing.

​

Kabbalah, an ancient mystical tradition rooted in Judaism, offers a profound lens through which to perceive the universe and the human experience. The Tree of Life is a symbolic diagram representing the divine structure of creation (the language of the branches) and the interconnectedness of all existence. 

​

In this 2-hour, private session, I will take you through a series of beautiful, insightful practices to help you relax, clear your energy field, and gain personal clarity. Through intention-setting and guided meditation, the 10 Sefirots (energy intelligences) are superimposed over the body through the use of high-vibrational gemstones, tuning forks, and Reiki.

Sound Healing

Private Sound Healing

On-Going

Sound healing penetrates a person's mind, emotions, and body to help bring them to states of deep relaxation. If you suffer from insomnia, anxiety, depression, or grief, this modality can help you to release and restore. Sound healing is also a wonderful way to simply treat yourself to a beautiful experience where you are bathed in drones, musical instruments, vocal toning, and vibrational frequencies that are known for their restorative qualities.

 

I offer several different thematic sound healing sessions. All are beautiful, deep, and extremely relaxing. 

 

Typically, a session takes 1.5 hours and the person leaves feeling rested and restored.
