Sydän Aguacielos and Anastasia Darkwater

Friday, June 13, 6:30-7:45PM, Tickets Sliding Scale: $20-$35

​

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.

• The hidden strength and insight within yourself

• How to find and connect with your own tribe

• The importance of communication from the spirit world

​​

Linda’s reflections offer not just a story, but a guide to interpreting your own medicine path and following the messages of your intuition.

​

Join her for an inspiring afternoon of storytelling, a book signing, and a special introduction to the teachings of the Medicine Wheel. Come be inspired to chart your own unexpected adventure!

5-6:30PM, $20

Join us for a multidimensional evening of renewal and connection as we welcome the arrival of the Summer Solstice. We will gather to honor this sacred seasonal shift—when the Sun moves into the nurturing, intuitive sign of Cancer.

​

This is a powerful time to pause, breathe, and align with the energy of light, abundance, and inner peace. As we relax into this new season, we’ll come together in community with like-minded souls, celebrating the warmth and vitality that summer brings.

​

Our evening will include:

• Restorative Yoga & Breathwork

• Sound Healing

• Yoga Nidra – a deeply calming guided meditation known as "yogic sleep" that helps quiet the mind, relax the body, and invite profound self-awareness and emotional release

• Reflection and Connection to the potent energies of the solstice

​​

To deepen our experience, we will also invoke the presence of a sacred feminine guide: Áine, the radiant Celtic goddess of summer, love, fertility, and sovereignty. As a solar goddess of light and abundance, Áine reminds us of our inner brightness and the creative potential this season holds.

​

Come celebrate this turning point of the year with us. Reconnect with your inner self, nourish your spirit, and bask in the healing energy of the solstice sun.

​

Susan Brochin and Maitri Brown have been working together for many years as a team, sharing their gifts and passion for all aspects of spirituality. They love interacting with those who are still learning or have already worked with the Goddess in their lives.

Johnnie Mazzocco, Saturday, June 28, 4:30-6PM, $30

What if your writing practice could become a sacred path—one that deepens your connection to self, spirit, and the unseen threads of your life story? In this engaging and experiential 90-minute workshop, writer and teacher Johnnie Mazzocco invites you to explore fiction writing as a transformative spiritual practice.

​

Blending discussion with guided writing exercises, this class offers a powerful process called amalgamation: the art of weaving real-life people, places, and memories into imagined narratives to access deeper truths. This method is especially supportive for those with richly layered inner worlds—often the hallmark of neurodivergent minds—who long for creative practices that honor both depth and sensitivity.

​

Whether you're new to writing or an experienced storyteller, you'll leave with a repeatable tool to spark your creativity and cultivate meaning through your stories.

​

Bring a notebook, an open heart, and your curiosity.

Have you had times when you felt the presence of a higher consciousness? Perhaps even sensed that a saint, Ascended Master, or Archangel was communicating with you? What if you could connect with them—ask for guidance or support? Do you want that?

​

At this workshop, you’ll learn more than the techniques. You’ll receive spiritual transmissions to build the spiritual energy necessary to open the Direct Soul Communication channel. You’ll be guided in this by two experienced teachers who are trained and certified by the Tao Academy.

​

You will learn about and experience:

● The power and significance of four major spiritual channels: Soul Language, Direct Soul Communication, Third Eye, and Direct Knowing
● How to open and develop your Soul Language Channel—the powerhouse of all the spiritual channels—and then open your Direct Soul Communication channel
● You’ll be immersed in the unique Tao Calligraphy Healing Field
● Included with registration: the Soul Communication book by the world-renowned healer and NY Times best-selling author, Dr. and Master Zhi Gang Sha

​

Receive the training and support you need to connect with holy beings and receive Divine guidance for your life.

​

Included with your registration are two Divine-level spiritual downloads. These powerful Light transmissions help clear negative patterns and subconscious blocks. This is your chance to move into a realm of higher awareness that most never experience — don’t miss it!

​

Terry McGill and Micaela Lopez have been certified by the Tao Academy to teach these workshops, as well as other certifications. Terry has held workshops at New Renaissance since 2009. Micaela guides spiritual seekers and offers Doula services in the Eugene–Springfield area.

Jaynie Farnsworth, Saturday, September 6, 11:30-1:30PM, $25
 
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.
