Join us for an immersive exploration of three well-known oracle card decks. We’ll begin with the Healing the Heart Oracle, a deck centered around themes of love and healing. In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, this session offers a unique opportunity for group sharing. Each participant will draw a card from the deck and, if desired, share their insights with the group. This is a wonderful way to connect with the energy of a new deck and deepen your understanding of its messages. Additionally, you’ll be introduced to a practice called heart healing, which can be done using these cards to promote emotional well-being.

​

Following this, we’ll showcase decks from two renowned creators: Colette Baron-Reid and Denise Linn, both of whom are widely recognized in the world of oracle cards and published by Hay House. Participants will have the chance to explore these decks up close, and Susan and Maitri will discuss the value of learning different card spreads, demonstrating several examples for the group.

​

There will be ample time for hands-on practice, where you can either try out the spreads for yourself or engage in mini readings with fellow attendees.

Jaynie Farnsworth, Event Postponed! Stay Tuned for New Date, 3-6PM, $30
 
For expecting parents, new parents, postpartum caregivers (including grandparents), and birth workers.
The postpartum period can be overwhelming for women, who often serve as the emotional center of the home and, in some cases, the primary breadwinners. This pressure sends unconscious messages of "Get back at it; you can't afford to rest." However, we can’t afford not to rest. Evidence shows that intentional care and rituals honoring the significance of birth can reduce postpartum anxiety and depression.

Ayurveda offers a holistic approach to recovery, emphasizing nourishment for the body/mind and spirit. Key components include a diet of warm, easily digestible foods, prioritizing rest and warmth, and herbal remedies for hormonal balance. Practices like Abhyanga (self-oil massage), yoga, and meditation promote relaxation and stress relief.

Honoring the 40-day postpartum window allows for profound healing and transformation, setting a foundation for longevity. Participants will gain essential tools for a resilient postpartum recovery.

Jaynie Farnsworth, MA is a certified Ayurvedic Practitioner and Kundalini Yoga instructor. Her expertise consists of over 15 years of professional study in Yoga and Ayurveda. Jaynie’s passion for the healing arts brought her to Asia and Latin America. Being a swimmer, she brings an awareness of the body's healing abilities to her work.

Join Sydan Aguacielos and Anastasia Darkwater of Sound & Shadow Collective for a Reiki-infused, heart chakra-focused Immersive Sound Ritual.

Our sound rituals are a unique and interactive experience. We open with shamanic drumming and breathwork, before exploring our voices in collective OM’ing and vocal toning with a drone instrument called a shrutibox, we'll then ease you into an introspective crystal bowl meditation with the option for 1 on 1 energy healing. In closing, we guide you back with the shrutibox and om’ing, and finish with light somatic movement to balance and re-energize the body.

​

Gift yourself this hour to open your heart and absorb the healing frequencies.  Singing and humming is optional but encouraged. You don't have to be a great or even good singer to participate.This is not a performance. The voice heals the body by stimulating the vagus nerve, inducing relaxation and calm. Allowing yourself the freedom to hum or sing along increases your internal vibration and makes you an active participant in your healing journey.

​

Please bring your own nest and dress for warmth and comfort. Feel free to bring anything that may enhance this relaxation and connection experience like stuffies, crystals, cards, journals, etc.

​

Sound & Shadow Collective share the belief and understanding that deeply connecting to ourselves and each other from the heart promotes healing that reverberates throughout our communities, creating a better life experience for all. It starts with knowing and loving ourselves through heart-brain coherence. We offer private sessions on a sliding scale.

Terry McGill, Thursday, February 27th, 6:00–7:30 pm - $37.50

​

“The heart's magnetic field, which is the strongest rhythmic field produced by the human body, not only envelops every cell of the body but also extends out in all directions into the space around us. The heart's magnetic field can be measured several feet away from the body by sensitive magnetometers. Research conducted at HMI suggests the heart's field is an important carrier of information.” – Rollin McCraty, HeartMath Institute

​

Have you met people you just like to be near? They seem to have a magnetism and confidence about life. Do you wish you were like that and could connect with people more easily? This is how a strong Heart Field manifests in life. And the good news is that our Heart Field can be strengthened. It’s not rocket science—it’s Tao Technology, and you’ll learn how to apply it for yourself!

​

Terry will introduce us to Tao Calligraphy, one of the types of Tao Technology. We’ll then connect to the Tao Calligraphy Da Fu Wu (Greatest Service). You’ll discover why Greatest Service is key to developing your Heart Field on Thursday night.

​

As we connect to this Calligraphy, we meld with the Light Field it radiates. We can use the invisible Love and Light of that Field to develop and strengthen our Heart Field. Terry will lead us in a guided meditation to transform conflicting messages in our subconscious while we are enfolded in the Da Fu Wu Tao Calligraphy’s Source Field of Love and Light.

​

For 35–45 minutes, we can entrain with this Source transformative Field. Some people see the Tao Calligraphies as Portals to Source, with invisible Light pouring through. Others notice energy shifting and moving in their bodies, while some simply drop into a deep meditation. We’ll be guided during the meditation in different ways to connect with and allow the installation of new messages deep in the subconscious. As we slowly return to full waking awareness, Terry will show us how we can use Tao Calligraphy to practice immersive techniques ourselves.

​

This Thursday evening will plant and nourish the seed for the expansion of your Heart Field. You’ll be able to practice at home to continue developing your Heart Field. You’ll also receive a book with 9 Tao Calligraphies—a gift for you to connect to Source.

​

About Tao Calligraphy

Tao Calligraphy is Transformative Art. It’s beautiful! But the secret to transformation lies in the invisible Love and Light embedded in the black lines of Tao Calligraphy. The world-renowned healer and NY Times Best-Selling Author Dr. and Master Zhi Gang Sha connects to Source before writing. As a Tao Channel, the Source Love and Light flows through his brush and into the black ink he applies to the paper. Tao Calligraphy can grant your request for any aspect of life. An hour in a Tao Calligraphy field can be 1,000 times more beneficial than an hour of meditation, as the 10 Da Light Wall Calligraphies are Portals to access Source Love and Light.

​

About Terry McGill
Terry McGill is a 10 Da Light Wall Practitioner and is empowered to open the Tao Calligraphy Field. This allows you to receive a Love and Light transmission for any area of your life where you wish to flourish.

This Month’s Journey: The Wheel of Fortune
Life is a cycle of change, and The Wheel of Fortune reminds us life is not a linear path—but a spiral. This class explores the archetype of destiny, the interplay of luck and choice, death & rebirth, and the medicine of surrendering to life’s natural flow. Through a reflective teaching and shamanic journey meditation, you’ll connect with the energy of the Wheel, discovering how to navigate life’s ups and downs with trust, adaptability, and a deeper understanding of your own power to shape your path.

​

The tarot is a deck of 78 cards, each with its own unique imagery and symbolism. Among these cards, there are 22 major arcana cards that represent powerful archetypal energies. Archetypes, as conceptualized by Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung, are universal symbols or patterns that exist in the collective human unconscious. In the context of the tarot, these archetypes offer profound insights into the human experience and can serve as a transformative tool for self-discovery, healing, and personal growth.

​

Journeying through the archetypes of the tarot can lead to deeper healing and transformation in several ways:

● Self-Reflection
Each archetype mirrors aspects of the human experience. Exploring these symbols prompts self-reflection, helping individuals better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

● Guidance
The archetypes offer guidance for navigating life's challenges and opportunities. They can provide insight into the choices one faces and the potential outcomes of those choices.

● Integration
Engaging with the archetypes helps individuals integrate various aspects of themselves. By acknowledging both light and shadow aspects, people can achieve a more holistic and balanced self-understanding.

● Healing Trauma
The tarot archetypes can serve as a tool for exploring and healing past traumas. Understanding the symbolism associated with certain cards may bring repressed emotions to the surface, allowing for healing and emotional release.

● Spiritual Growth
The journey through tarot archetypes is often seen as a spiritual one. It can lead to increased self-awareness, connection with higher consciousness, and a deeper sense of purpose.

● Empowerment
As individuals explore and understand the archetypal energies within themselves and connect to them as guides in their lives, they begin to feel empowered, gaining new awareness and the ability to shift their perceptions and make great changes in their inner and outer worlds.

​

In this series, the tarot becomes a tool for personal empowerment and transformation.

He has shared the lecture bill with Deepak Chopra, and his work has been endorsed by globally acclaimed energy intuitive, channeler, bestselling author, and musician Lee Harris; multi award winning producer, sound healer, author, speaker & composer Barry Goldstein; and many more.

​

Dave’s work guides clients and workshop attendees gently and compassionately in alignment with what their body-mind-Spirit triune needs—and does so at the causal level for increased awareness, long-lasting symptom relief, an expansion in intuitive guidance and spiritual growth, and a clearer vision of who they really are.

​

Working with Dave reminds us that we are never alone, and that there is always hope for healing.
