Early spring is not about blooming yet; it is about subtle movement, small signals, and allowing energy to return naturally. It is a time of quiet movement, when light begins to return but energy may still feel tender. Gentle Emergence is a sound bath designed to support this in-between season, offering space to rest, settle, and notice what is beginning without pressure.

We'll start with a grounding EFT meditation, followed by a simple progressive muscle relaxation, a technique often used before hypnosis.
Then through layered, melodic sound from crystal singing bowls, crystal pyramid, hypnotic percussion, tranquility harp, and other acoustic instruments, participants are invited to soften into the body, regulate the nervous system, and allow awareness to unfold at its own pace. This is time for listening and gradual reorientation.

All bodies and experience levels are welcome. Chairs, mats, blankets, and some cushions will be available, but you are encouraged to bring your own comfort items.

Early spring asks for patience and listening. This session offers space to honor that rhythm.

Charlie Sebastian Short is a certified quantum sound healing practitioner, composer, and professional musician who blends melody, vibration, and intention to guide others into calm and clarity. His sessions offer a gentle, welcoming space for rest and renewal. charliesoundpractice.com

Anahata, Thursday, April 9, 5:30-7PM, Sliding Scale $20-$35

​

Join Portland sound practitioner Anahata for an immersive sound bath inspired by the natural landscapes of Oregon.

​

Earth Resonance is a meditative journey through the frequencies of desert, mountain, river, valley, forest, and ocean - guiding participants into deep relaxation and soul remembrance.

For over a decade, Anahata has been recording the natural soundscapes of Oregon using multiple field microphones to capture the subtle atmosphere of each environment. These recordings are mixed into immersive 360° spatial audio soundscapes that serve as the backdrop for the live sound bath.

​

Using crystal singing bowls, Tibetan bowls, gongs, chimes, drums, and other sacred sound instruments, the journey travels sonically through the Oregon Outback high desert, the Cascade Mountains, the Columbia Gorge, the Willamette Valley, and out to the Oregon coast.

Participants simply lie down, close their eyes, and allow the sound to guide them into a state of deep rest and resonance.

​

This experience is welcoming to both newcomers and those familiar with sound healing.

​

Anahata is a Portland-based sound practitioner and meditation facilitator who has been working with sound medicine for over 23 years.

Sydän Aquacielos & Temples of Sound Guest Player
Friday, April 10, 6:30-7:45PM, Tickets Sliding Scale: $20-$35
​
Temples of Sound is a living sound practice where bodies, voices, and presence become temples. Each participant contributes to a shared field of resonance, weaving breath, tone, rhythm, and drone into a collective space of clarity, connection, and coherence.
​
Our bodies are living instruments, carrying memory, vibration, and power. The spaces we gather in become temples themselves, shaped by the care and attention we bring to ourselves and one another.  Our mission is to empower sovereignty — supporting people in reconnecting with themselves, each other, and life in ways that allow all beings to thrive.
These events are interactive and participatory. Instruments are shared, and you’re invited to sing or play with us — or simply be and hold presence. There is no right way. Choose your own adventure.
​
Our Interactive Sound Immersion is an alternative to the passive sound bath. Steady drone tones create a vibrational foundation, and your voice is invited. Singing with the drones drops participants into meditation rapidly and directly, engaging the body at a cellular level. No singing experience is needed — you cannot get it wrong. Authentic presence is the harmony.
​
We work with 14 crystal singing bowls, harmonium, shruti boxes, shamanic drums, breathwork to open and somatic movement at close to integrate and seal the temples.
​
This is community-building as healing. We come together in mutual support, honoring each person’s individual process while strengthening the collective field.

Experience the Living Energy of the Tarot

​

When we allow the symbols, images and archetypes of Tarot to touch us emotionally, feelingly, deeply, they promote change because each card is a glyph of the body, mind, spirit - of what it is to be human. In this retreat, we will immerse ourselves in the living energy of the tarot enabling us to deepen our access to our innate wisdom, intuition, and creativity.

​

Cynthia will guide us on this journey of self-discovery and empowerment through guided meditation, sound, journaling, art, and ceremony in a safe and sacred space, in which we may receive guidance, healing, and a deeper realization of our wholeness to carry with us back into our daily lives.

Retreat includes a tarot blessing ceremony, a set of tarot cards you can color yourself, a sound bath and more. Some experience with Tarot is helpful, but not required.

​

“When one bell is rung, by the sound of that one bell others bells will also vibrate . So it is with the dancing of the soul. It produces its reaction, and that again, will make others souls dance." Hazrat Inayat Khan

​

Cynthia is a mystic, artist, and teacher who has studied and taught Tarot for over 20 years. As an intuitive, highly sensitive person, she acts as a bridge, or facilitator for Spirit, using Tarot cards as one of the tools in this work. It is her intention to help others learn to access and develop this ability for themselves.

Join local bestselling author Dave Markowitz for an intimate, podcast-style conversation about his groundbreaking new book. In a world where so much feels personal—where global anxiety lands in our bodies, where family tensions mirror larger divides, and where collective and individual pain often blur together—Dave offers a compassionate new lens for understanding what’s stirring beneath the surface.

​

Rather than a formal reading, this is a relaxed, unscripted exchange between Dave and an empathic host from our community. Together, they’ll explore why many of our familiar tools for healing and leadership don’t reach as deeply as they once did—and what it means to work with today’s shifting realities instead of against them.

​

This gathering is especially for empaths, healers, and leaders who feel the weight of both personal and collective challenges—and are ready to explore a more sustainable way forward.

Bring your curiosity and your questions. More than a typical book launch, think of this as a chance to connect, reflect, and walk away genuinely inspired.

Dave Markowitz is a 2x best-selling author and intuitive healing practitioner with almost thirty years of experience backing up his findings. His self-published book, Self-Care for the Self-Aware: A Guide for Highly Sensitive People, Empaths, Intuitives, and Healers was on Amazon’s Top 20 list for 41 consecutive months. Dave is a faculty member of The Shift Network, the world’s largest transformational education, media, and events company and community of 3.2 million seekers. His work has been endorsed by energy intuitive, channeler, and bestselling author Lee Harris; former CEO of HeartMath Bruce Cryer; CEO of The Shift Network Stephen Dinan; multi-award-winning producer, composer, and author Barry Goldstein; award-winning author Dr. Deborah Zucker; author Amaya Gayle Gregory; 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.

Life is woven from a single, luminous thread — Sri Vidya, the ancient wisdom that reveals how everything arises from, exists within, and returns to the Divine Feminine, or Devi.

​

In this guided, immersive workshop, Radha Amma and Rama Amma of Devipuram, India, invite you into the living current of Sri Vidya. Through mantra, intention, and sacred ritual, participants will feel the resonance of ancient sounds, sense the refinement of awareness, and step into a subtle field where consciousness and Devi’s radiant energies move through every cell of the body. These time-honored practices relax the mind, open the heart, and restore harmony to the nervous system. The Divine Feminine is awakened not as an idea, but as a direct, embodied experience.

​

Participants will leave grounded, nourished, and empowered, with a take-home practice to weave this sacred rhythm into daily life, allowing Devi’s magic to continue unfolding.

​

Radha Amma and Rama Amma run Devipuram, a vibrant spiritual center in India devoted to the teachings of Sri Vidya. They carry forward the joint legacy of Devi and Guruji Sri Amritananda Natha Saraswati. Through workshops, courses, and international tours, they make the once-secretive light of Sri Vidya accessible to all.

​

Join Ashley Collins and Erik Blender for an engaging and interactive presentation on using the Seven Realms card deck, tinctures, and educational posters to support individuals and groups after a psychedelic journey.

​

Integration is the bridge between a psychedelic experience and lasting, embodied change. It’s how we make meaning of the emotions, insights, and breakthroughs that arise—pausing to ask: What does this mean for me? How do I carry this forward into my daily life? Without integration, even powerful moments can fade or feel fragmented over time.

Through guided examples from the deck, we’ll walk participants through deeper reflection and practical action steps for meaningful growth. There will be plenty of time for questions and shared dialogue.

​

Ashley Collins and Erik Blender are the creators of Seven Realms, a psychedelic integration system designed to support people after a journey or peak experience. With years of experience as educators, trainers, and presenters—and as licensed psilocybin facilitators in Oregon—they are committed to fostering safe, meaningful integration through practical, tangible tools.
