Join Heather Irene for a deeply resonant session that combines the ancient practices of mantra, meditation, and music. We’ll begin by exploring the power of mantra, using sound as a vehicle to focus the mind and elevate our energy. We will then transition into a bija chakra meditation, a powerful practice that uses single-syllable "seed" sounds to awaken and harmonize the body's energy centers. The session will be supported by the harmonium and live music, creating a sacred soundscape for you to rest, release, and reconnect with your inner self. No prior experience with any of these practices is necessary. All are welcome.

Time in Nature – Retreat gardens walk, chai & nourishing snack. During this part of the day, feel free to roam, read, journal, or have a soul-stirring conversation with new friends you’ve made on the retreat. This is a time for you to relax and just be without structure.

Sound healing works through vibration to soothe the nervous system, clear stagnant energy, and realign the body and spirit. While gongs, bowls, and other instruments will hold and guide you, the most profound instrument is your own voice. Through vocal toning practices, you’ll experience how simple sounds—like humming, chanting, and sustained tones—can open the breath, calm the mind, and restore harmony from the inside out.

Flowing seamlessly from this practice, you’ll be immersed in Dawn’s nurturing sound healing journey—a restorative hour-long bath of resonance designed to help you release tension, expand your awareness, and gently remember your wholeness.
