Sacred Song, Sound and Soma

Sacred Song, Sound and Soma – a deep dive 7-day retreat Saturday May 10- May 17, Johnson’s Landing where we will embark on a journey of deep embodied vocal expression through the power of Sound, Sacred Song, and Somatic Inquiry with ceremonial meditations and celebrations with the Grandmother.

During this retreat, we will immerse ourselves in the sacred songs and supportive practices, preparing our bodies and minds to listen and receive them more deeply, learning from and allowing the vibrations of sound to work within our bodies, minds, and spirits. Through various practices, including Continuum Movement, we will explore the transformative capacities and wonders of being in a body, unlocking our innate wisdom, health, and empowered presence.

As we delve into the frontiers of neuroplasticity and the power of intention, vibrations and gentle yet fiercely loving presence, we can soften, release and unwind patterns and blockages in our systems that are outdated and stuck. We can then lay some solid foundations for a life of more space, fluidity and creativity, open to responding to life in new fresh and exciting ways. Together, we will uncover the art of deeper listening, feeling, and sensing, discovering the fluid nature and profound presence that resides within us.

You will have the opportunity to diet a song that you feel drawn to get to know more intimately, not only ‘learn’ but deeply relate to and be moved by, as they are alive and move through every body so differently when received fully and allowed to flow with love.

In all this goodness, we will be held at a beautiful retreat centre surrounded by nature in the Kootenay Mountains of BC, an hour from Kaslo in community with other heart-centred and devoted souls.

Please reach out if you would like to discuss possibilities of moving forward this opportunity to join this experience for experienced participants only. This is also for those willing to meet the edges of their comfort zones in devotion and service to love, truth, community and authentic expression.
