Arrive, check in, set up your space, and take a few moments to land in your body. This is also a time for light connection with others if you feel called.

Please check your confirmation email for contact information if you need assistance with directions. We ask that everyone arrive before 6:00 PM, as we begin promptly at that time.

Late arrivals may not be able to enter, since starting together helps create a safe, uninterrupted environment where everyone can feel comfortable relaxing, sharing, and going deeper.

We will open the space with a short prayer and cacao meditation, inviting divine blessings for ourselves, the group, and the space. This helps set a sacred, gentle tone and invites healing energy to flow.

From there, we move into a brief opening circle, where you will be invited (but never required) to share your intention for the ceremony. Naming what is present helps bring clarity and supports deeper healing.

Relax into a full sound and pranic healing journey. Through instruments and vocals, combined with pranic healing techniques, we will work on cleansing the energy body and balancing the all major chakras. Your only job is to relax and allow. As you soften and breathe, the body naturally begins to release stagnant and heavy energies.

The experience is often described as both gentle and powerful. You may notice emotions, sensations, memories, or insights arising. Meet whatever shows up with curiosity and kindness. With each exhale, imagine tension, worry, and stress flowing out. With each inhale, receive fresh life force and healing energy.

We will close with a brief sharing circle, where you can (if you wish) speak to anything that came up for you during the journey. Sharing in this way helps to integrate your experience and ground the insights so they can be carried into your everyday life.

You are always welcome to simply listen if you prefer not to share.

We will end with a short group prayer to seal the practice, give thanks, and close the space. You will then have a few moments to gather your belongings, drink some water, and ease your way back into the rest of your evening.

Energy healing is a broad term for practices that work with the body’s subtle energy field (or biofield) to support physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. The basic principle is that our energy field influences our health. When we experience stress, illness, or emotional imbalance, the energy field and the energy centers (often called “chakras”) can become blocked or congested.

Energy healing practices, such as Pranic Healing and Reiki, aim to clear these disruptions, rebalance the flow of energy, and support the body’s natural ability to heal. These are sometimes referred to as “biofield therapies,” where the practitioner works with the field of energy that surrounds and permeates the body.

People often experience relaxation, a sense of calm or spaciousness, warmth or tingling, emotional release, and sometimes insights or inner guidance during or after a session.

Energy healing is considered a complementary approach and is not a replacement for medical or psychological treatment.

Pranic Healing is a biofield therapy and energy healing system developed by Master Choa Kok Sui. It works with "prana" or "chi," the life force that flows through and around the body. The basic idea is that energetic imbalances often show up before physical or emotional symptoms. By working on the energy body, we support the physical body and emotions to return to balance.

Pranic Healing draws from the essences of several traditional healing systems, including Chinese Chi Kung, Christian “laying on of hands,” Tibetan healing arts, and others, and organizes them into a clear, practical system.

In a Pranic Healing session, the practitioner uses specific techniques to scan, cleanse, and energize the biofield and energy centers, without physical touch. It is a no-touch, non-religious system that can complement your existing wellness or spiritual practices and support your body’s natural healing process.

People typically experience deep relaxation, a sense of lightness or spaciousness, warmth or coolness in certain areas of the body, tingling, or a feeling that “something is being cleaned out.” Emotional release, such as tears or a sense of relief, can also happen. Some people feel immediate inner peace or clarity, while others notice gradual shifts over the days following a session.

Many people report faster improvement of physical or emotional symptoms when supported by Pranic Healing as part of their overall wellness plan.

Pranic Healing is not a replacement for medical or psychological care. It is a complementary practice that can support your overall healing process.

Reiki is a Japanese relaxation and energy practice that supports stress relief and a sense of calm. A practitioner gently channels healing energy through the hands, either lightly touching or hovering over the body, while you relax.

You can think of it as creating a safe space for your system to unwind. As you relax, your body and energy can begin to rebalance themselves. The real healing work is a partnership between you, your own inner intelligence, and the higher power or Source as you understand it. The practitioner is simply a facilitator for that process.

People typically experience deep calm, a sense of being held or supported, warmth or coolness in different parts of the body, gentle waves of energy, or a floating or heavy feeling as the body relaxes. Some people see colors or images in their mind’s eye, or notice emotions coming to the surface to be felt and released. Others simply feel rested and peaceful afterward.

Reiki is a complementary modality and does not replace medical or mental health treatment.

Pranic Healing and Reiki are both energy-based practices, but they have different approaches and structures.

Reiki is rooted in Japanese tradition and usually involves gently placing hands on or just above the body to channel universal life energy. The focus is often on creating deep relaxation and allowing the body’s energy to rebalance itself, guided by intuition and the flow of energy.

Pranic Healing is a no-touch system that places strong emphasis on scanning, cleansing, and energizing the biofield and energy centers. Practitioners follow specific protocols for different physical and emotional conditions. The work is often more technical and targeted, focusing first on removing congested or “used-up” energy and then energizing the affected areas with fresh prana.

Both practices can support relaxation and overall well-being. Some people are drawn more to the gentle, hands-on style of Reiki, while others appreciate the structured, protocol-based approach of Pranic Healing. Many clients find that the two complement each other well.

All of these modalities are considered complementary. They are not replacements for medical or psychological care but can be powerful supports on your healing journey.

Yes! Pranic Healing is a gentle, non-invasive biofield therapy system. There is no physical touch, no substances, and no manipulation of the physical body. The work is done in your energy field by cleansing used-up or congested energy and then energizing with fresh prana, or life force, to support your body’s natural healing ability.

Pranic Healing is not a religion and does not replace any spiritual or religious path. It is a system of working with energy that can be practiced by people of many different beliefs or none. Everyone is encouraged to think for themselves and practice intelligent evaluation. Many clients feel this work deepens their existing spiritual connection rather than replacing it.

Everyone can benefit! Even if you don't believe in this, all that's required is an open mind, but not so open that your brain falls out. Common issues people come for help include:

• Experiencing stress, overwhelm, or burnout
• Moving through big life changes, grief, or transition
• Dealing with emotional patterns like anxiety, sadness, anger, or resentment
• Working on physical challenges and wanting extra energetic support
• Deepening a spiritual path and wanting practical tools and support

Studies on energy therapies like Reiki and other biofield approaches suggest potential benefits such as reduced stress, improved mood, and better quality of life for some people, although more research is still needed.

Energy work can be a powerful tool alongside the inner work and outer actions you are already taking.

Sound healing uses instruments and the voice to create vibrations that help the body and mind relax. When you relax deeply, your nervous system can begin to release stress and the energy in your body can start to move and clear.

In a typical session, we use sound with clear intention, inviting stuck or heavy energy, such as old emotions or stress, to gently release. Many people experience sound healing as a soothing way to reconnect with their body, feelings, and inner guidance.

People often report deep relaxation, a sense of calm, feeling lighter or clearer, gentle waves of emotion, tingling or warmth in different parts of the body, and sometimes images, insights, or messages from their inner world. Some people fall asleep, which is also okay. Your experience may be subtle or strong, and both are normal.

If you are curious to learn more about sound and vibration, here are a few videos you might enjoy:

Sound healing is a complementary practice and is not a replacement for medical care or treatment.

In my sound healing sessions, I typically use a blend of instruments including singing bowls, tibetan bowls, and voice. In my group events, I use singing bowls, tibetan bowls, shamanic drum, voice, violin, and music production software (ableton) to help me enhance the sound healing. These instruments create layers of vibration that help the nervous system relax and support the movement and clearing of stagnant energy in the body and biofield.

Everyone responds to sound a little differently. It is normal to prefer some tones and find others more intense. Sometimes a sound that feels “scratchy” or uncomfortable is actually bringing your awareness to an area in the body that is holding tension or emotion. This is often an opportunity for release and can help you receive deeper healing by sitting with the tension or discomfort.

You are always encouraged to listen to your body: you can adjust your position, place a blanket over your ears slightly, or let me know if a particular instrument feels too loud or too much. We can usually modify the volume, distance, or choice of instruments so you still feel safe and supported.

Listening to music on your own can definitely be relaxing and supportive. Sound healing is different in that it uses specific instruments, frequencies, and live intention to support relaxation, energy clearing, and inner awareness.

In a session, you are invited to fully rest, with no distractions, while the sound is designed to guide your system into deeper states of calm and openness. The combination of live vibration, intentional pacing, and a held space often allows people to go deeper than they do with background music alone. Clinical and meditation research suggests that structured sound interventions and sound baths can reduce stress, anxiety, and tension beyond ordinary listening. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5871151/

Cacao and cocoa are related but not the same. Ceremonial grade cacao is a much less processed form of chocolate. Most commercial cocoa has the cocoa butter (fat) removed and is heated and processed in ways that reduce many of its natural nutrients.

The cacao I serve, Keith's Cacao, is 100 percent pure cacao-bean paste. It contains the natural fats, high amounts of magnesium, antioxidants (such as vitamins A, C, and E, beta-carotene, and manganese), flavanols, potassium, and theobromine. Cacao is often described as a superfood because it is rich in these beneficial compounds.

When used in a ceremonial way, many people experience a feeling of warmth or expansion in the heart, a deeper sense of connection with themselves and others, more ease in feeling and releasing emotional blocks and patterns, a clearer sense of inner guidance or “higher self,” and support for meditation, creativity, and reflection.

People typically report feeling more present in their body, gently uplifted in mood, more open emotionally, more connected to their heart, and sometimes more focused or creatively inspired. For some, the effect is very subtle. For others, it can feel like a gentle energetic or spiritual “nudge.”

Cacao is not a drug or a hallucinogen. It is a gentle plant ally that can support emotional and spiritual work when used with respect and intention. If you have health conditions, are pregnant, or are sensitive to stimulants, please check with your healthcare provider and let me know in advance.

Cacao is optional in the ceremony, and you are always welcome to participate with or without drinking it.

This is more than a class or a simple healing session. Working in a ceremonial or ritualistic way creates a focused, intentional space where learning, personal insight, and deep healing can all happen together.

Ritual has been used across cultures for thousands of years to mark turning points, release the past, and invite in new ways of being. When we consciously step into a ceremony, we are telling our body, mind, and soul that we are ready for change. The structure, teachings, and shared intention help the nervous system settle, open the heart, and make it easier to access deeper parts of ourselves.

These ceremonies are also workshop-style experiences. You will not only receive healing, you will learn and practice:

• Simple spiritual teachings that you can apply to real situations in your life
• Exercises to feel and understand energy in your own body and field
• Gentle processes for noticing, feeling, and beginning to let go of heavy emotions or patterns

After this, we move into sound and Pranic Healing to work more deeply with whatever has come to the surface for you. The teachings and exercises help you become aware of what is present. The sound and energy work help clear, soothe, and re-balance your system so those shifts can settle in more fully.

Because we do this in a group, you also receive the support of shared intention. Many people find it easier to relax, be honest with themselves, and open to healing when they are held in a guided space with others who are on a similar path.

If you are looking for support on your spiritual path, and want a space where you can learn, feel, and actually experience change in your energy and emotions, this is why we gather in ceremony.

Experiences in ceremony can be quite personal and also influenced by the group field. Many people report:

• Deep relaxation and a quieter mind
• A sense of lightness, spaciousness, or being “cleared out”
• Release of built up stress or emotional heaviness
• Warmth, coolness, tingling, or gentle waves of energy in different parts of the body
• Emotions rising to the surface being released, sometimes with tears or laughter
• Insights, images, or an inner sense of “something being cleaned out”

Some people feel strong shifts during ceremony. Others notice changes unfolding more gradually in the days that follow as the energy settles and the teachings integrate. It is also possible to have a subtle experience and still notice positive changes afterward. All of these responses are normal.

Because ceremonies can be deeply relaxing and sometimes emotional, it is ideal to give yourself some gentle time afterward to rest, drink water, and be kind with yourself.

You do not need to “do” anything special or meditate perfectly. A relaxed, open attitude and basic curiosity are enough. You are always free to ask questions before we start. That all said, here are some suggestions if you want to maximize our time together:

• Hydrate well before and after
• Shower or clean yourself up before. It's often recommended to wait 12-24 hours to shower/bathe after a session. Much like lotion absorbing into the skin, it can take time for the energy to absorb into your body.
• Avoid recreational drugs or heavy alcohol at least 24 hours before
• Take a few minutes to reflect on your intention
• Arrive a little early so you do not feel rushed
