Ashley Collins and Erik Blender, Thursday, May 7, 6-7:30PM, Sliding Scale $10-$20

​

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.

Sydän Aquacielos & Temples of Sound Guest Player
Friday, May 8, 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.

Wear comfortable clothes and bring whatever you need to be relaxed for the experience -  blanket, pillow, eye mask, etc.  We provide yoga mats but you are welcome to bring your own if you prefer.

Choosing the right remedy gives us a healthier perspective on life, making day-to-day difficulties easier. Each 1.5–2-hour workshop covers 5–6 Bach Flower Remedies commonly used within that topic. These workshops will help you discover more about yourself as well as which remedies are right for you.

Sunday, May 10, 3:30p-5:00pm: "Bach Flower Remedies for Sensitivity"

Being a sensitive person is difficult with all the overwhelming input life throws at us. But, at the same time, we can’t digest life fully without releasing self-protective barriers. This workshop will cover Bach Flower Remedies that can help us to more easily integrate stimuli and experiences without negative compensations or protections, and enjoy life more in the process. 

Sunday, May 17, 3:30p-5:00pm: "Releasing Strain and Tension with Bach Flower Remedies"

Doesn’t it always seem that those who can relax and let things flow get the best results? Bach Flower Remedies can help us to achieve our ideals and goals without pushing, resisting, or controlling. This workshop will introduce you to several essences Dr. Bach found that allow us to express our authentic selves and meet our needs without unnecessary striving and tension.

Sunday, May 24, 3:30p-5:00pm: "Bach Flower Remedies for Despondency and Depression"

Feelings of dejection, despair, anguish, and futility are occasionally a natural part of our human experience but, if these feelings become chronic, they debilitate us and undermine our ability to function. This workshop will cover some key Bach Flower Remedies that specifically address these negative states, and can help us gently redirect feelings of helplessness and hopelessness into healthier states of renewed happiness and purpose.

Community for Personal, Ancestral, and Collective Healing

​

Veronica Bañuelos, Sunday, May 17, 2:30-5PM

Please arrive early. To maintain a cohesive and safe container, late arrivals will not be admitted.

​

Representative Ticket Sliding Scale: $25-$50 (See below for more information on what it means to participate as a representative.)​

Seeker Ticket Sliding Scale: $185 - $250 (See below for more information on what it means to participate as a seeker.)

​

Due to the nature of this work, the event requires a minimum of 7 participants to proceed. If this number isn't met, all participants will be notified in advance and refunded.

​

We know meaningful change begins within.  This gathering introduces Systemic Constellations, a powerful method for revealing the hidden dynamics shaping our lives, relationships, leadership, and organizations.  Together, we enter a shared field to make visible inherited loyalties, ancestral entanglements, and systemic forces that quietly influence how we belong, relate, and lead.  Through guided grounding, a collective constellation, and selected individual constellations, participants will witness and engage in a process that brings insight, movement, and possibility. Whether you participate as a “seeker” or as a representative, the experience often creates unexpected clarity and shift.  This work is especially meaningful for those navigating complex family or organizational dynamics, or anyone curious about healing at the intersection of personal and systemic change.  No prior experience is necessary.

​

More information on what it means to participate as a seeker or a representative:

​

The seeker brings a personal challenge or question to the circle, seeking clarity or resolution around issues like family dynamics, relationships, or career. If you choose to participate as a seeker, Veronica will contact you before the event with further details and an intake process. For this session, there is space for three seekers.

​

A representative is chosen to stand in for a family member, ancestor, or concept within the constellation. They embody the energy and emotions of that role, often experiencing physical sensations or feelings that reveal hidden dynamics in the seeker’s system. By doing so, they provide insights that support the seeker’s healing process without directly engaging in the personal history or challenge of the seeker.  Representatives often report gaining personal insights, emotional release, and a deeper understanding of their own family dynamics or unresolved issues even though the process is not directly addressing their specific situation.  

​

Please note that this experience is not a substitute for professional counseling or psychiatric health care.

Cameron Heath and Yesenia Rauch, Sunday, June 28, 11:30-1:30PM, $33

​

A Reiki and sound healing workshop for reflection, reconnection, and emotional grounding.

​

This two hour workshop is for anyone who wants to reconnect with the younger parts of themselves through Reiki, guided meditation, reflection, and sound healing.

​

Cameron will begin with a brief inner child reflection, optional sharing, and a guided meditation supported by Reiki. This portion is meant to help participants slow down and bring care to the parts of themselves that may still be carrying old emotions, unmet needs, or protective patterns. Rather than forcing a breakthrough or going into heavy processing, the focus is on meeting the inner child with more compassion, presence, and understanding.

​

Participants are invited to bring a small item connected to childhood, comfort, or memory, such as a toy, book, photo, game, or keepsake, to use as part of the reflection process.

Yesenia will close the workshop with sound healing, offering a restorative sound bath to help participants settle, integrate, and feel grounded after the inner child and Reiki portion.

​

No prior experience with Reiki, meditation, sound healing, or inner child work is needed. Please bring a yoga mat, journal, and anything else that helps you feel comfortable.  We have yoga mats and meditation cushions available for anyone who needs one.  

​

Cameron is an intuitive life coach and Reiki Master specializing in inner child healing and self trust. Through coaching and Reiki, she helps clients understand the protective patterns that have shaped their lives and begin relating to themselves with more honesty, compassion, and trust.

With a focus on self love and energetic alignment, Yesenia offers a sound bath experience designed to support nervous system regulation, emotional grounding, and deeper connection to the present moment. Through sound and intention, her offering creates a calming space for participants to feel spiritually centered, restored, and more connected to themselves.
