EVENTS

Held in memory of my late mother.

On Samhain, the veil between worlds grows thin. For this special event, sound will be your guide through the ancient cycle of descent, death, and return, the rhythm at the heart of this season.

Every tradition that honours this time of year holds the same truth: nothing new is born without something first dying. Nothing whole is made without first being taken apart. In that truth, the illusion of permaneance becomes clear.

There's an old story, La Loba, the Wolf Woman, first told to me by my mother from her favourite book Women Who Run With the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estés. 

She's a figure who appears across many cultures in different guises: an old woman who lives at the edge of things, out in the desert, in the dark, in the places others have turned away from. Her task is to collect what's been left for dead, bones, bleached and scattered and piece them back together. When the skeleton is whole, she sings over it, low and wordless, until flesh returns, until breath returns, until it rises up and runs into the night as something wild and alive again.

She represents the part of us that knows how to restore what's been lost or discarded, the instinctive, undomesticated life force that outlasts every kind of ending.

Samhain feels likes the right time to hold that story close.

That is the shape of this journey. We will descend together, sit in the deep quiet at the bottom of things, and rise back into the world changed.

What to expect:

Using every instrument in my collection, gongs, crystal singing bowls, Tibetan bowls, crystal & reverie harp, koshi chimes, solfeggio frequency chimes, and slate lithophone. I'll guide you through six stages:

Threshold — settling in, marking the crossing into ritual space

Descent — moving down and away from ordinary consciousness

Death — the depths, where the old is released

Gestation — stillness, the dark space before new life

Rebirth — movement returning, the ascent

Integration — coming home to yourself, changed

This is a 90-minute journey, we will finish with warming drinks and sweet treats to ground us.

Please arrive a few minutes early to settle in before we begin.

What to bring:

A yoga mat or blanket, something warm to cover yourself with (your body temperature will drop as you relax), and an open mind for whatever the night brings up. You don't need any prior experience with sound healing or meditation, just a willingness to let go.

Come with whatever you're ready to leave at the bottom. Leave with whatever comes back with you.
