Back to Schedule

Coming just a few days after the Aquarius Full Moon, we are entering the waning lunar phase, a potent time for integration, unwinding, and letting go. The energy of this phase supports deep relaxation, quiet reflection, and clearing space for the new month ahead.

This pop-up event begins with a few gentle grounding practices to help you release the week's tension and create openness. As the soothing sounds of Tibetan and crystal singing bowls fill the space, you’ll be guided into a deep state of relaxation through Yoga Nidra, a brief but powerful practice to prepare you for deeper rest and to set an intention for the sound journey. Earth, Moon, and third chakra gongs will clear blockages, calm the mind, and restore balance to your body and spirit.

Various kinds of chimes, a rain stick, and an ocean drum will be used to gently bring you out of the experience. There will be time given at the end to continue to relax or to write down any insights or inspirations.

Whether you’re attending Saturday’s daylong retreat and want a gentle prelude, or you’re simply looking for a peaceful Friday night escape, this immersive experience will leave you feeling refreshed, aligned, and centered.

There will also most likely be at least one intuitive energy worker there to support you in releasing and grounding. The event concludes with tea, sweets, snacks, and community.

  • A water bottle to stay hydrated

More on Yoga Nidra: Yoga Nidra is a guided yogic sleep that allows for relaxation and enhanced healing, opens us to our inner guidance, and helps to integrate change by accessing the subconscious. Yoga nidra is a tool for initiating deep change In the root causes of physical, emotional and psychological imbalances as a result of stress. Yoga Nidra brings about a supported lucid dream state by the enhancement of the alpha wave state in the brain, a super-conscious frequency in the mind that releases tension, gives rise to enhanced vision and heightened awareness which then allows us to be more present in our lives.
Recently, this practice has been put under the umbrella of the term coined by Andrew Huberman, NSDR or Non-Sleep Deep Rest.
