In the Divine Sound workshop we will use the potent power of sound to deepen our receptivity to messages from our intuition, subconsciousness, and/or ancestors. For those interested, divinatory tools will also be available: I Ching, OH cards, playing cards. Come with an intention, or a question. As a group, we will hold a safe and accepting space for each person to reflect upon and explore our intents, and the messages that arise for us. Space is limited to 4 visitors. RSVPs suggested. Walk-ins are welcome, space permitting. Radical Reiki includes a customized energetic blend using tuning forks, crystals, chakra balancing, Shiatsu, master level Reiki, and intuition-based healing.
