Sound Healing Retreat: Harmonizing with Self, Others and Gaia
NEXT Retreat Date TBD
The highest education is that which does not merely give us information but makes our life in harmony with all existence.
~ Rabindranath Tagore
Do you love sound healing and want more?
Does your bodymindspirit crave time away to relax and restore?
Do you desire more harmony within yourself, with others, and with Gaia?
If so, this is your opportunity! Come rejuvenate on a deep level as we harness the power of sound to heal. Strengthen and harmonize your connection to yourself, others, and Gaia… and your ability to embody unity consciousness.
Immerse yourself in healing vibrations and the colors of peak foliage season, as we gather in the mountains of western Maine at the state’s first Green~Certified earth~friendly retreat center, Nurture Through Nature: a 33-acre wooded mountain-side site with views of Mount Washington and the White Mountains. There are hiking trails and a spring-fed mountain brook with dipping pools at this rustic nature-centered get-away.
A word about Sound Healing with Andrea
Used with sacred intention, sound heals on physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels. Sound is a powerful tool to break up dissonant patterns and stuck energy within the body and biofield, restoring harmony and raising consciousness. Andrea’s angelic voice, in combination with crystal singing bowls is transporting, and initiates an awakening of one’s soul. Bells, drum, rattle, chimes, and other instruments provide a variety of frequencies that deepen the healing experience. Vocal toning and chanting will also be taught and practiced as a group, giving you tangible sound tools to take with you and utilize on a daily basis.
Specific sound sessions will offer a focus on your relationship with your Self, with others, and with Gaia. Guided reflection with prompts will support you in shaping your intentions in these areas before each sound journey. Each participant will utilize and benefit from these journeys in unique ways. Group sharing and debriefing will assist in grounding and integrating the healing.
Divine sound is the cause of all manifestation. The knower of the mystery of sound knows the mystery of the whole universe.
~ Hazrat Inayat Khan
