SPRING SALUTATIONS: A SUMPTUOUS SOUND BATH

OSTARA OFFERINGS: MERRY-MAKING for the ARRIVAL of SPRING!
Ostara, the Gaelic celebration that welcomes in Spring, brings with it great promise and joy for the keenly anticipated return of fertile days for planting dreams. Steeped in ancient tradition, this occasion, at the very least, highlights the virtues of: new beginnings, young sprouts, flowers, food, fertility, renewal, lengthening light, and the abundance that Nature provides. In our Ostara Offerings event, we will enjoy some of my favourite aspects of Spring, including: creativity, plants, lunching, and drawing upon the serendipitous wisdom of divine inspiration. Our lunch tilts a hat to the exquisite, revered egg that is so popularly represented during Spring, Easter, and Ostara. This will be served up in the form of mini quiches, sided with a fresh green salad, fresh bread, and hand-batched butter. Fruit, sweet treats, and purple tea tie the bow on our complimentary tastings. Tapping into this season of new growth, we’ll embark on creating a themed project that will continue to ‘grow’ on you at home, infused with the symbolism of Ostara’s beauty and plentitude. We’ll start this by painting pots with a playful patina to resemble ‘cracking eggs’ which will ultimately serve as the vessel for a little botanical bliss - with twigs, flowers, ivy, and something ‘eggstra’ to incubate our individual intentions / manifestations for the weeks to come. We’ll finish off our time together with the new Ostara deck by Lorraine Anderson and Juliet Diaz - let me know if you’d like a deck of your own and I will be sure to have one here for you. As always, our conversations around the occasion, and our shared tips on our gardens, our kitchens, and our creative endeavours, will fill the gaps with fruitful insights. This is a special occasion, limited to a small group - so do register early! Sunday, March 23, 1-3 PM $67 
SOUL SEEDS - AMBIENT SOUND MEDITATION
This edition of Soul Seeds, a more casual session for sharing common interests, invites you in to come experience the synthesized waves of ambient sound to sweep the file drawers of your mind into swirls of colour, motion, or other fluid visualizations. Think of it as the liquid sounds of a Lava Lamp! We will reflect upon the powerful effects that this type of sound can have on us, and how we can use it to re-set our innate body/mind compass. Participants can advise if they’d like me to narrate a guided piece to this, or not, based on our preliminary conversation and general consensus of the group. This is a seated meditation, however you are welcome to bring a meditation cushion, should you wish to sit on the floor. We’ll wrap up with a cup of tea and reflection. Wednesday, March 26th 7-8:30 PM $25 'Soul Seeds’ is a casual monthly offering that explores a general or specific topic at a reduced price, designed to encourage repetitive participation in a fun and valuable self-care practice. 
TUNING FORKS 101: for HEALING Body, Mind, & Spirit
Have you ever been curious as to how tuning forks could be used as a healing modality? I gravitated to this concept eagerly, adding it to my sound, vibration, and frequency work almost a decade ago, and was fortunate to have received mentoring early on, to help solidify my studies and stoke my interest. I have created this workshop as a basic training to provide a general overview of tuning forks: as an alternative support to well being, their science, benefits, techniques, frequency associations, precautions, and safety, for animals, etc., so that individuals who are curious about how to use these unique tools for friends, family, or pets (my cats love them!), can be equipped with both competence and confidence. There are many different types of tuning forks, and we will cover what you need to know. When I first thought of offering this session, I had the idea of providing a single tuning fork for each participant - a practitioner quality fork. As it turns out, I have made a fantastic (and unexpected) arrangement with a suppliers to obtain a good quality set of 2 weighted and 2 unweighted forks for each participant for an amazing price - just slightly more than the single fork originally considered. This will provide a suite of forks in a range of Hz for a spectrum of results that includ: easing pain, shifting emotions, mobilizing chi, clearing the auric field, and more. This set will be of great use as is, or be a synergistic addition to an existing (or future) Chakra or Solfeggio set, should you become obsessed :) You will also have access to experimenting with additional forks in the session to expand upon the pairing options and possibilities with different fork combinations, enhancing your experience and familiarity. There may be a few additional forks available for sale. This workshop is very conservatively priced even without the inclusion of tuning forks - in part because I am not marking-up the cost of the forks. I know, this is fruitless from a business standpoint, but I’m inspired to offer this class affordably, from the heart. I will prepare the studio space for individual and shared practice (on massage tables, and seated in chairs) so that you can give and receive the techniques and best understand the dynamics of the process. Needless-to-say, this will be limited to a small, intimate group. If you’re interested, please claim your spot ASAP, as I will need to order the tuning forks soon to secure them at their special price. I will require a minimum deposit of $150 (or the full payment), at the time of registration. Sunday, April 6th, 1-4 pm $229 (includes set of 4 tuning forks) |
Our WOODLAND STUDIO is a haven for unique and beautiful treasures, such as:
HIMALAYAN SINGING BOWLS
Among these new bowls, in addition to an assortment of sizes, there are handmade and hand etched bowls, machine made counterparts, as well as plain handmade bowls with no markings. There are different types of mallets, as well as bowl pillows for allowing full resonance from the bowl when it is struck on the table or floor.
Sounds, tones, and harmonics are delightful! Using the bowls for healing, clearing your crystals or your space, or for entering or ending meditation or yoga practices, they are clear, resonant, and long sustaining.

Chimes are a wonderful solution to shifting energy, clearing space, and generating whimsical sounds for your indoor or outdoor environments. We carry a selection of mountable, portable, and hand held chimes for all purposes. You will be inspired by the wide variety of tones, volume, and sounds that chimes can create.

Handmade MALAS
As meditation is a key part of my life - a life changer, really - I have found that using a mala for japa meditation (the repetition of a mantra) adds a tactile component to anchor the experience, and then hold the energy of the work thereafter. Made from gemstones, natural wood, or metal, you may choose from those on display, or have one custom made to suit your own personal preferences. You'll love it for meditation, fashion, or for their energetic properties.
