Deepening into Your Multidimensional Heart: A Daylong Retreat
with Ruby Koa & Valerie Lonneman

Valerie and Ruby are excited to reunite in Bellingham to offer a daylong retreat this summer, on Saturday, August 1! We will immerse ourselves in therapeutic sound, guided meditation, energy healing, and movement practices, to deepen into your multidimensional being via the gateway of the heart center. By harnessing the magnified power of the group container, we can accelerate our individual healing journeys, clearing outdated energy to make space for our most authentic expression and highest good. Our time together will allow for relaxation and meditation in nature, as well as personal, pair, and group reflection and integration.

We will explore the theme of Deepening into Your Multidimensional Heart through a synergy of sound, movement, and ancient healing arts. Ruby will guide the body and nervous system into a state of receptive safety using somatic movement, breath work, and two extended sound baths featuring her Moon, Chiron, and Earth gongs, alongside crystal singing bowls, including a resonant 22” heart chakra bowl.

Valerie will facilitate deep exploration of the heart space through immersive meditation and guided energy healing techniques from the Ancient Mystery Schools. She will also tune in to the energy field of our group to bring through information and healing on collective spiritual themes. Saralee Sky will provide additional layers of support, holding a steady energetic container for the space with Reiki and grounding.

The heart center is the most accessible energetic portal to connect with the oneness of our being. And yet, it is often a difficult space to drop into and fully embody. Our exploration of this potent and multifaceted center will touch upon various aspects of heart-mind coherence, including:

• Physical: Nervous system regulation to support embodiment and deeper feeling within the heart space

• Spiritual: Trusting the heart to lead (releasing outdated mental energy and rebuilding trust to strengthen our connection to Divine Feminine, Higher Self, and intuition)

• Relational: Cultivating receptivity to both give and receive deeper levels of love, gratitude, and compassion for self/others

Prior to the retreat, Valerie will tune in to the energy field of each individual to receive a message for them from their Team of Light. The intention of these messages will be to support heart healing, awareness, exploration, and/or expansion. If it feels aligned, participants will be invited to work with a symbolic representation of that message in an energy healing practice facilitated during our time together.

Snacks and heart opening herbal tea will be available to enjoy throughout the day. We will also take an hour break for lunch and leisure. Join for an optional stroll to Birchwood Park for a picnic, eat out, or stay at the Zen Center to relax and enjoy some quietude. We will conclude at 5:00, with an additional half hour available to gently wind down, re-ground, and connect with others, as desired.

Admission to this retreat will include:

• Movement, breathwork, and energy healing practices, woven throughout the day

• Two extended sound baths, with singing bowls, gongs, and other therapeutic instruments. 

• While Ruby plays the instruments, Valerie and Saralee will support the energy of the group, grounding and creating a sacred space to allow each individual to move energy with ease.

• An hour plus lunch break to allow time to relax, integrate, and commune with nature as desired at nearby Birchwood Park.

• A psychic reading and healing on the energy of the group, on themes that we come together as a soul team to support each other with.

• Opportunities throughout the day for individual reflection, as well as partner and group sharing.
