Something has been waiting.

Not out there. Right here, within.

Each new year, it’s all too common to spend days, even weeks, looking outside ourselves. We’ve been conditioned to search out there for every answer. The next plan, the next program, the next version of who we’re supposed to become. Yet all the while, the key has been held on the inside.

Yes, I see the irony. This is an invitation to a paid evening, to remember that we already have what we’re looking for.

The difference? I’m not selling the answer. I’m sharing the practices that help us find it: the energy work, the sound, the coherent space. Take them home and reuse as needed.

In Chinese Medicine, we each carry original qi, a foundational source of vitality we’re born with. Through a spiritual lens, I think of it as our original blueprint: who we were before life’s expectations and conditioning shaped us.

And now the year has turned. Not on January 1, but here, with the Lunar New Year, the Year of the Fire Goat. The moon is waxing. And we’re inside the window between the solar and lunar eclipses. Threshold magic.

What was set down in December opened space.
What was dreamt of in January built the intention.
This evening, we bring coherence into the body.

Not just at the surface. Deep inside. I imagine it reaching the very level of our cells, even our DNA, where the spark of original qi can activate the blueprint.

This is the evening we stop reaching out, and receive what has always been there, patiently waiting to be remembered.

What We'll Do

Qigong. Twenty minutes of slow, intentional movement and breath, to wake the body, mind and spirit, as the light continues to grow.

Guided imagery and biofield tuning. A gentle walk inward, toward the original blueprint. Tuning forks help release tension and restore energy flow in and around the body.

Sound healing. Singing bowls, chimes, and other instruments, carrying coherence deep within.

The crystal. A Loft crystal, intentionally chosen for its remarkable relationship with light and stunned during the evening. It goes home with you.

We leave in flow.

Maybe it arrives as a whisper. Maybe as a knowing you can’t quite explain. In my experience, it was never lost. It was only waiting to receive the spark of remembrance.

What to bring:

Comfortable clothing. A yoga mat, blanket and eye cover. Water to drink.

Cost: $60 | Advance registration required. This intimate gathering is limited to 10. Use coupon code EARLYBIRD for a $5 discount [use by Nov. 22]

THE ANTI-RESOLUTION
Right intention. Wrong season.

Nothing in nature “starts over” in the dead of winter. Neither should we.

Introducing The Anti-Resolution. Where we do the new year, in seasonal order.

Release first. Dream second. Receive last, after the year actually turns (Lunar New Year).

Release · Friday, December 18, 6pm
Three nights before the Solstice, the longest night of the year. Yin is quiet, and the world is loud. No decisions, just one last gentle letting go.

Dream · Friday, January 8, 6pm
No planning. No calculating. Just dreaming. Formless and flowing, like water, where the finest filaments glow brightest in the dark.

Receive · Friday, February 12, 6pm
The Lunar New Year has begun. What was set down in December opened space. What was dreamt of in January built the intention. Now we receive what has always been there, within.

Each event stands on its own, and together they build.

The right intention, in the right season.
