Themed Workshops

 

  • Heart Opening Workshop -  This workshop combines mindfulness gratitude practices, a cacao ceremony with a guided meditation to meet the spirit of cacao, and a sound bath. Gratitude practices are an amazing way to help open the heart, cacao is a heart opening plant medicine, and sound healing is a powerful tool for turning off busy mind chatter and allowing a deeper connection to your true nature. Workshop participants will receive a rose quartz crystal heart that they will infuse with their intentions and will bring home to use in their ongoing gratitude practice. Participants will also take home their gratitude thoughts, written on wildflower seed paper, that can be planted creating a gratitude garden. A living reminder of all that you are grateful for in your life.

Host a Heart Opening workshop in your home or office - 2 hour workshop (with an additional 1 hour to set up, and 1 hour to break down) - up to 6 participants $450 flat rate + $35 for each additional participant.

The Heart Opening Workshop was AMAZING!!!! I can't even fully explain how all the sounds from the different instruments April used during the sound bath made me feel! It brought up many things, including things I hadn't thought about in YEARS!!!! I could feel ALL the different sounds going through my body and stirring up many different emotions. Some effected me more than others and I do remember crying at one point! I felt the energy throughout my entire body just as I do when I get Cranial Sacral and Acupuncture! When certain things that were upsetting came up--in the moment--I felt like I could forgive others and forgive myself. It was truly an amazing experience and I would love to do it again.  JZ  

 

  • Embracing Acceptance  -  In this workshop we discuss the mindfulness concept of acceptance and April will explain a mindfulness practice that can help with creating more acceptance in your life. Then we will do a releasing ceremony where each participant will write something that they want to invite acceptance around, or that they want to release, on a special piece of  "wish paper". The paper is lit with a flame causing it to float upward, bringing the energy of your intention with it. Next, April will lead a guided acceptance meditation followed by a  transformational breathing session (a specific style of breathing that helps to powerfully release our blocks to accepting and letting go of what no longer serves us). We will end with a sound bath allowing you to relax even deeper and continue to integrate your experience. 

Note: Depending on the location of the workshop, the weather, and our ability to safely burn the wish paper, you may be offered your paper to bring home to release.

Host an Acceptance Workshop in your home or office - 3 hour workshop (with an additional 1 hour to set up, and 1 hour to break down) - up to 6 participants $550 flat rate + $35 for each additional participant.

April’s workshop was amazing. She was able to explain the concept of ‘acceptance’ very well, and her ‘sound bath’ was beyond relaxing; through the sound of her instruments, I was able to quite my mind while connecting to my soul. I would recommend this workshop to any person in a heart beat. ~ Mari C. 

 

  • Autumn Equinox Celebration - Celebrating Autumn - This workshop includes a guided visualization, sound bath, and a release ceremony. It can be held around the equinox or anytime during the fall months.

    In this workshop we focus on the shifting of the seasonal energies from summer into fall. Fall is a time to look inward. It is a time for reflection and transformation. With the changing fall leaves as our inspiration, we begin by creating an intention for what we would like to release and what positive changes this transformation will open us up to, setting the stage for our release ceremony. We will then move into a guided visualization around the shifting from summer into fall and letting go of what is no longer helpful to us. The guided visualization will flow into a sound bath. We end the workshop by coming together as a group for the completion of the release ceremony.

    Host a Celebrating Autumn workshop in your home or office - 2 hour workshop (with an additional 1 hour to set up, and 1 hour to break down) - up to 6 participants $450 flat rate + $35 for each additional participant.
