This workshop is an invitation to come home to your highest self. Together, we’ll begin with guided pranayama (breath practices) to clear the mind, open the body, and awaken your inner energy. From there, you’ll be guided into an extended savasana, where Katrina will immerse you in the healing vibrations of crystal singing bowls and gong.
The journey shifts brainwaves from Beta — the state of stress, worry, and activity — into Theta, the realm between waking and dreaming, where deep relaxation, restoration, and inner peace reside. This process is profoundly calming and can support emotional balance, mental clarity, and physical healing. Come with an open heart, comfortable clothing, and a willingness to rest deeply. You’ll leave feeling nourished, renewed, and at ease.
Join us for a warm, heart-opening evening of ceremonial cacao and live Kirtan — a beautiful pairing of ancient plant medicine and devotional sound that invites you to slow down, drop in, and connect.
The evening begins with a ceremonial cacao prepared with intention with Shaunna Sutcliffe, known for its gentle heart-opening and mood-lifting qualities. As the cacao settles in, we'll be carried into the living vibration of Kirtan with Johanna Beekman— call-and-response chanting that needs no experience, no perfect voice, just a willingness to show up and sing together.
Shaunna Sutcliffe and Johanna Beekman bring their complementary gifts to hold a space that feels both sacred and accessible — whether this is your first time or you're a longtime lover of these practices.
Come as you are. Leave feeling full.
What to expect: Ceremonial cacao · Live Kirtan · Community connection · A soft landing for your evening
Friday April 17th
7-9 p.m.
Shaunna will lead you through a gentle warm-up yoga practice,
bringing you into standing movements.
Once standing, we will explore more traditional yoga movements, as
well as movements from practices such as tai chi. Then we will
begin to tie in light dance movements guided by the teacher.
Then the music will turn on and the talking will be minimal for 20
minutes. We will just dance our hearts out! Then we will enjoy
along Savasana at the end of practice with a lavender towel on our
forehead, and a short sound healing at the end!

Vedic astrology — known as Jyotish, or “the science of light” — is one of the oldest living wisdom traditions on earth, offering a profound map of the soul's journey through time and incarnation.
In this introductory evening, we'll explore the sacred foundations of Vedic astrology: how it differs from Western astrology, the significance of the planets, signs, and houses, and how this ancient system can offer meaningful insight into who you are and where you're headed.
No prior astrology knowledge needed — just an open mind and a curiosity about the cosmos.
Whether you're brand new to astrology or looking to deepen your spiritual toolkit, this evening offers a grounded and reverent entry point into a system that has guided seekers for thousands of years.
What to expect: An overview of Jyotish · Key differences from Western astrology · The planets & their meanings · Space for questions & reflection
