The Creative Alchemy Workshop is an embodied journey designed to activate your authentic voice & alchemize your experience and emotions into artistic expression. This workshop will include vocal release work, guided sound meditation, and custom writing prompts to move you past writer's block and into inspired creativity. There will be time to write or create actively, as well as time to share and receive support, and set creative intentions.

Sacred Sound Meditation
This is a guided exploration deep into the self. Using various instruments including singing bowls, percussion, the Monolina and my voice, I guide you into a deep state of relaxation where you can tune in to your own healing frequency and connect to your essential core.
