REIKI + RHYTHM
Begin your day with intention, clarity, and a grounded sense of calm.
Reiki & Rhythm is a guided, multi-sensory experience that weaves together hands-on Reiki, immersive sound healing, and intentional reflection, closing with a heart-opening cacao integration.
We begin by settling into the space with gentle grounding and breathwork, allowing the body to slow down and the mind to soften. From there, you’ll be guided into a deeply relaxed state as hands-on Reiki is offered, supporting energetic balance, release, and restoration.
As you rest, you’ll be immersed in sound healing frequencies designed to quiet mental noise, ease tension, and bring the body into a state of harmony.
Following the energetic work, we move into a period of reflection and integration, giving you space to process, journal, and reconnect with yourself.
We close the experience with a warm cacao ritual, inviting in a sense of openness, grounding, and gentle connection before returning to the outside world.
This offering is perfect for anyone seeking stress relief, emotional reset, and a deeper connection to self. No prior experience with Reiki or meditation is needed.

GRIEF SHARE
Are you looking for a safe, supportive, and understanding space to help you process the pain of grief and loss?
*Grief is our emotional response to loss; It is a natural part of life yet it can feel so unnatural at times.
*Grief Shares can help you navigate your grief journey in a healthy way by showing up for yourself and others.
*Grief is present in all of our lives in various forms; loss of a loved one, divorce, loss of job, losing a pet, loss of a dream, loss of health, loss of community, worldly grief, natural disasters, war, family issues, and more
*Collective grief reminds us of our interconnectedness. It highlights the shared humanity that binds us, even in the face of profound loss. Shared grief holds the potential to inspire change, foster resilience, and deepen our empathy for one another.
*What we choose to do with our grief matters. Being part of a healing community can help us realize that joy and grief can co-exist.
This is a FREE Community Offering held monthly.

This Mother’s Day, we invite you into a candlelit sanctuary where every detail is thoughtfully curated to support deep rest and renewal. Rooted in our Feel Free philosophy of holistic care, this experience is designed to nurture your body, calm your nervous system, and fill your cup.

Soft aromatherapy will be woven throughout the space as you’re offered subtle, intuitive reiki to deepen your sense of ease and energetic balance.
As your body unwinds, you’ll be guided into meditation and quiet reflection, with space to journal and honor your journey where you’ve been, what you’re holding, and what you’re ready to receive.
The experience will close with immersive sound healing, allowing the body to fully integrate in a state of deep rest, accompanied by soft ambient tones and spa-inspired music.
Afterward, you’re invited to stay and linger in our tea lounge, enjoying herbal blends, light nourishing bites, and gentle connection in a space designed to feel like an exhale.
This is your time to be cared for.
To soften out of doing and into being.
To remember you are worthy of the same love you so freely give.

FULL BODY MYOFASCIAL RELEASE + RESTORE
Join Brenda for a full body myofascial release and restorative practice. Myo refers to muscle; and fascia is the network of connective tissue that surrounds and includes your muscles. Healthy myofascia is key to mobility. Tight myofascial tissue can restrict movement in your muscles and joints. This can lead to widespread pain and discomfort. Fascial release uses a ball, foam roller or yoga block in conjunction with body weight to apply therapeutic pressure to improve the slide and glide of your tissues by eliminating knots and increasing hydration through the act of compressing and releasing, like a sponge. This sequence will help release the most common areas of tension, giving the muscles greater capacity to stretch and move. We will target one area at a time, releasing the fascia then retraining those released muscles to lengthen and engage in gentle yoga poses. The sequence will end with a relaxing restorative practice and savasana.
CANCELLATION POLICY: All Cancellations must be made at least 48rs in advance of event time in order to receive a credit or refund. THANK YOU

GROUP HYPNOTHERAPY 3.18
Join Guest Practitioner, Melissa Yonce-Hayes
What is hypnotherapy?
A hypnotherapy session is very much like a guided meditation. You will feel deeply relaxed as you are guided on a visual journey by the therapist. The purpose is to work directly with the subconscious mind to release limiting beliefs or habits you wish to let go of and replace them with what you do want. The
conscious mind is still aware and ultimately in control during the process.
What can hypnotherapy help with?
-Anxiety
-Habit Change
-Future Planning
-Chronic Pain
-Sleep Issues
-Self-Doubt
-And So Much More
Addressing common misconceptions about hypnotherapy:
-Hypnotherapy is NOT mind control
-You cannot be put into a state of hypnosis against your will
-Nothing will change that you don’t wish to change
-If something outstanding were to happen, for example a smoke alarm goes off, you will immediately be aware and will leave the building as you typically would
-You cannot be left in a state of hypnosis during our session
-You will not be made to quack like a duck or anything ridiculous
How this workshop will flow:
-After a brief introduction, I will speak about hypnotherapy and address any questions or concerns anyone has.
-Next, we will get into the hypnotherapy session itself. Note that each individual’s experience with hypnotherapy is their own, the therapist is simply a guide. We will start with taking a few relaxing breaths, closing our eyes, & doing a visualization exercise to get our bodies into a complete state of
relaxation. From there, we will go into the specific work we are addressing in the session. It is a very moving experience and many clients have teared up by the end of each session. If you are curious, but do not wish to participate in the hypnotherapy portion, you are welcome to simply stay and observe.
-To wrap up, depending on time, I will invite participants to share their experience if they feel inspired to do so.
