REBIRTH & RENEWAL

A Blue Lotus Tea + Shamanic Breathwork + Sound Journey Experience with Shembra Carter & Jessica Golden

FUTURE DATES TBD

Equilibrium: 32 Plantation Park Dr. Unit 301 Bluffton, SC

Investment: $122

As we approach the March Equinox, unofficially marking the Spring Season, it is celebrated & honored by many cultures as the first day of The New Year.  This day is traditionally observed as a time of Rebirth & Renewal. As we come out of our winter respite and hibernation, we have the opportunity to harness this new resurgence of energy, created by nature, utilizing it as a catalyst to breathe new life into our vessels, as we open and bloom.  Blue Lotus is often seen as a symbol of Rebirth & Renewal. Its daily cycle of opening and closing its petals mirrors the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. This symbolism resonates with the idea of shedding old layers and embracing new beginnings on a spiritual journey.  Through the implementation of Shamanic Breathwork, we can release old emotions, cleanse the energetic and emotional body, and even open up the mind to deep spiritual insights.

Shembra & I have curated this experience with the intention of creating a safe healing container, in which you have the potential to release what is no longer in alignment with your body, mind and soul; so that you may move forward, in this New Year, with a deeply profound sense of Rebirth & Renewal.

The experience with begin with a beautiful and intentional Blue Lotus Tea Ceremony.  Shembra will then guided you into a deep altered state of consciousness though the power of Shamanic Breathwork.  During this guided practice, you will also be receiving Shamanic Reiki from myself.  After the breath sequence has concluded, you will lay still in integration, as you absorb the many beautiful sounds, frequencies and resonance of a wide array of Sound Healing instruments; including ancient gongs, crystal bowls, tongue drums, monochord harp, chimes and more!

Our experience will end with a brief Integration Circle, so that you may more firmly ground the insights you received back into this reality and leave with an unwilted sense of Rebirth & Renewal.

We are both very excited to bring this special offering to you all and would be so very honored to share in this potent healing experience with you.

• Please wear comfortable clothing.  You will be laying down for most of this experience.   We will provide you with comfortable cushions to lay on but feel free to bring your own blankets and pillows to assure your most comfort.

• Trynot to drink caffeine prior to this experience.  We also recommend you eating very light, high vibe foods but if you are able to and feel comfortable fasting (not eating prior to the offering) that is best.
