SoundBath

 

Restore Your Balance with Sound Bath, Chakra Work & Reiki

In this healing sound bath, you will be guided to release things that no longer serve you on a physical, emotional, mental, energetic, and/or spiritual level, honoring the full moon.

Singing bowls for each chakra, gongs, and chimes have high vibrational frequencies that release stress and balance and calm the mind, body, and spirit. Reiki energy will also be received at the end of the session.

This is a powerful time for emotional cleansing and grounding. During this period, you might find yourself exploring your emotions and psyche deeply, prompting the release of old grudges, fears, or lingering attachments that impede personal growth.

It emphasizes the cycle of letting go and renewal, encouraging individuals to embrace change as a natural part of life. This time offers an opportunity to confront and release suppressed feelings, paving the way for emotional healing and personal empowerment.

Open up the chakras in a guided healing meditation with a sound healing journey.

The full moon serves as an invitation to engage deeply with one’s inner self, surrender to necessary life changes, and emerge renewed, empowered by greater self-understanding and emotional clarity. We will be focusing on letting go through each of the chakras. After the sound bath, there will be an opportunity to share your experiences.

Since ancient times, candles have helped us light up the darkness—guiding travelers, marking sacred rituals, and providing warmth and comfort through long nights. Their quiet glow remains a symbol of hope, intention, and resilience—especially in these uncertain times. As many across the country and globe increasingly face the devastating impacts of climate-fueled natural disasters, when storms can knock out power for days at a time, that candles become a practical emergency preparedness resource.This hands-on workshop invites you to reconnect with the timeless art and valuable skill of candle making while cultivating a sense of calm, creativity, and mindfulness.

As we melt wax and blend fragrances, you’ll experience the meditative rhythm of the process—breathing in the therapeutic aromas of pure plant essential oils and engaging your senses through each step. Participants will learn how to melt and pour wax safely, blend scents mindfully, and adorn their candles with dried botanicals like lavender, rose, and chamomile for both beauty and benefit.

We’ll explore the properties of various wax types and how different botanicals and essential oils can enhance your candle’s aesthetic and aromatic qualities. A variety of vessels will be available, allowing you to personalize your creations to suit your space, style, or gifting ideas.

Whether you’re drawn to the craft for its practicality, artistry, or serenity, this workshop offers a welcoming space to slow down, engage your senses, and create something beautiful and useful with your own hands.

Each participant will leave with at least one hand-poured candle, a deeper understanding of the materials and methods, and a DIY kit to continue the candle making journey at home.

To support the trainees’ business, Tara imported the beautiful handblown recycled glass vessels into the US to sell at markets, and learned candle making to put their artistic works to practical use.
