Join us for an intimate gathering for breathwork and sound in a private studio. With only having 4 participants, this will be a much more immersive experience providing individualized attention, energy work, and support if needed.
🎶 Begin with a guided breathwork session by Vortasia, paired with music she created specifically to support your release. Feel the weight of stress, tension, and negative energy fade away as your breath becomes your greatest tool for freedom. Paul will be assisting with clearing energy using a sacred instrument called a chakapa.
🎶 Transition seamlessly into a soothing sound bath by Paul and Vortasia, where resonant vibrations will wash over you, filling the space you’ve created with peace, clarity, and integration.
This journey is designed to help you release what no longer serves you and fully receive the healing frequencies of sound and intention.
Please do not eat for 2 hours prior to the event.
When: Sunday, April 6th 2-4pm
Location: Private Sound Studio - address will be given upon registration.
Cost: $75
Be uplifted in movement and sound this Spring! Certified Qigong instructor, Sandra Mighell, will softly guide us in a deeply grounding and nourishing Qigong practice, transitioning gently into a relaxing sound journey with Vortasia and Paul.
Together we will celebrate the arrival of Spring, which is the time of the wood element in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
The wood element is associated with the liver organ system. Celebrate the balance of rooting into the earth and rising toward the sun, to be simultaneously grounded and uplifted.
Qigong is a 5,000-year-old practice, which implements gentle movement, breath, and focus of the mind. "Qi" or "Chi" means energy or life force. Gong means cultivation/practice, with purpose and intent. It is often described as a moving meditation and is used for physical health, emotional balance, and spiritual growth.
Sound healing is grounded in the principle that everything in the universe is in a constant state of vibration, including the human body. Research in vibrational medicine shows that every cell, organ, and tissue has its own natural frequency. When these frequencies become out of harmony—due to stress, illness, or emotional trauma—sound can be used as a tool to restore balance and stimulate the body’s innate healing abilities.
The sound journey will include various instruments including gongs, alchemy singing bowls, crystal bowls, tibetan bowls, drums, rattle, chimes and voice, to create vibrations that help to realign and harmonize the body’s frequencies. These vibrations penetrate the body on a cellular level, promoting relaxation, reducing stress, and calming the nervous system.

Join us for an intimate gathering on the night of the full moon, in a private studio limited to only four participants. This event offers a deeply immersive experience, providing personalized attention, energy work, and support as needed.
Full moons are often considered powerful times for release and transformation. The moon has a tangible effect on the Earth, most notably seen in the way it influences ocean tides. Considering the human body is largely composed of water, it's believed by some that the moon can also affect human behaviors, emotions, and physical health. The full moon is thus seen as a time when emotions and energies are heightened, which can be harnessed to facilitate deeper emotional release and healing.
🌕 Begin with a guided breathwork session led by Vortasia, paired with music she specifically created to enhance your release. Let the full moon’s energy amplify your ability to let go, as stress, tension, and negative energies fade away. Paul will assist with clearing energy using a variety of instruments.
🌕 Transition seamlessly into a soothing sound bath by Paul and Vortasia, where resonant vibrations will envelop you, filling the space with peace, clarity, and integration.
This journey is designed to help you release what no longer serves you and receive the healing frequencies of sound and intention, under the magical light of the full moon.
Please do not eat for 2 hours prior to the event.
When: Monday, May 12, 7-9pm
Location: Private Sound Studio - address will be given upon registration.

This event will focus on the internal experience and somatic awareness. We will start off with a blindfolded embodiment exercise to prepare you for the dance portion of the event. Using blindfolds allows a space of dropping in deeper with the physical body and lessens internal judgment.
Casey, aka DJ Naturespeak, will provide the music to lead you on a dance journey of inner exploration. Andrea and Vortasia will be dance guides providing support to participants as needed.
After the dance, Paul and Vortasia will lead a sound bath to assist with going even deeper within. The somatic awareness built up through the dance will be grounded and expanded through the frequencies that Paul and Vortasia provide.
Following the sound bath, Andrea will lead participants through an art integration exercise which allows participants to reflect on their experience and express it on paper.
Blindfolds will be provided, but if you have one of your own, you are more than welcome to bring it. Also, bring a yoga mat, blanket, or whatever else would make you comfortable during the sound bath. Light snacks will be provided during the art portion of the event.

Blindfolded movement has been an integral part of Casey’s healing journey. By going to a place where he is free to move without any internal or external judgment, he was able to bring those lessons into other dances and also bring that sense of freedom to his life.
Through grief and sadness, Paul began working with vibrational healing and seeing the powerful effects it has on his life. Sound and vibration allows Paul to continue to reclaim and heal himself, while also bringing that medicine forth to others.
Vortasia is an energy practitioner, sound healer and flow artist who is thrilled to combine her magic with Casey, Andrea, and Paul to provide a deep, integrative inner exploration of the body and soul.
Andrea finds art is an expressive outlet and passion. She understands that creative expression can be a reflection of our current state of being and can be transformative in different ways for each person. She will hold the container through guided breathwork and self-expression both as dance guide and integrative facilitator. She will offer a few artistic mediums and prompts for the integrative activity to allow participants to feel safe to reflect on their experience.
As we emerge from the hustle and bustle of Thanksgiving, take time to slow down and go within. Join us for a sacred journey where we blend the power of breath, the heart-opening energy of cacao, and the healing vibrations of sound to guide you into deep states of inner peace, clarity, and connection.
Breathwork: With each conscious breath, release what no longer serves you, making space for new insights, deeper gratitude and inner peace.
Cacao Ceremony: Sip on ceremonial cacao, an ancient plant medicine that gently opens the heart and cultivates feelings of connection, love, and appreciation for yourself and others.
Sound Journey: Let the soothing frequencies of a sound journey guide you into a deep state of relaxation, where expanded consciousness awaits.
This post-Thanksgiving experience is an opportunity to reset, reflect, and reconnect with yourself.
