Turning toward light, renewal, and rebirth.
Vernal, meaning “of the spring,” “new,” and “fresh,” and equinox, meaning “equal” — Vernal Equinox is a turning point when daylight begins to take over the darkness and we collectively experience the balance of the day and night. Nature embodies the spirit of this season with buds, blossoms, and bursts of color. Energetically we often feel an intuitive pull toward awakening, refreshment, and creativity.
In this spirit, we are delighted to partner with Molly Knight Forde and The Awareness School to mark the season’s turn to Vernal Spring Equinox with a beautiful, rejuvenating sound healing ceremony.
The ancient art of sound healing has the ability to heal our physical bodies and attune us to higher consciousness through vibrational variance. We are energy from the very coarse to the very subtle. Our system will entrain to higher aligned frequency if intentionally surrounded by it. — Molly Knight Forde
Using her crystal singing bowls, Molly will guide us through an enveloping, transformational journey. Creating binaural beats through sound, these frequencies support the regeneration of our parasympathetic nervous systems. Molly's sound baths induce extremely deep theta states that recalibrate the chakra system and remove blocks on every level from the physical to the spiritual. The sound creates a safe and loving container for people to let go and experience openings into other worlds. You’ll leave feeling a greater sense of harmony, openheartedness, and deep relaxation.
What a beautiful way to renew at the start of this enlivening season? We hope you’ll join us!
