Kintsugi and Sound Bath

The Beauty of Broken Pieces with Laura Rategan

Join us for a very special evening of Kintsugi and Sound Healing! Experience this beautiful workshop that represents the journey of healing! Limited spots available for this event so please register today!

The tradition of kintsugi has come to represent that even after you have experienced challenges in your life and feel broken, the process of putting yourself back together is the value and beauty of growth and healing. The philosophy behind Kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold, is to embrace flaws and imperfections as a way to create something stronger and more beautiful. The practice is based on the idea that beauty can be found in imperfection, and that a broken piece that is put back together is more authentic and real than something that has remained pristine. 

During this workshop, we will create intentions of what we want to release in our lives as we break a bowl and create new positive intentions as we put it back together with gold. While our bowls are drying, Laura will gift you a nurturing and healing sound bath! You will leave this time with peace in your body and spirit and a cherished bowl representing your healing journey.
It's through the cracks that the light shines!

What to bring:

• *I will have vessels available for you or you can bring your own special vessel (bowl, plate, mug- not glass).

  *A box to carry your kintsugi bowl home and then allow it to dry for at least 24 hours.
  All other supplies are included.

Join us for a meditative walk through the magical labyrinth! Relax, release, receive! Release negative energy, anything that's holding you back from feeling happy, grounded and more like yourself. Then receive clarity to the questions you have about any area of your life. If you've never walked the labyrinth before this is an opportunity for you to have a powerful spiritual experience that is also incredibly relaxing and rejuvenating.

Laura will guide us through a meditation, call in the directions and our spirit guides, and lead us through an intention setting ceremony. She will teach us how to walk through the labyrinth in an incredibly meaningful and personal way. Then she will offer you a beautiful smudge as you enter the labyrinth path!

Join me for this SUPER CLASS, an evening of Intuitive Reading, Mediumship and Divination fun! Learn how to use pendulums, crystals, oracle cards, angel numbers, and scrying with candle flames to provide insight into truths of your higher self and bring clarity to answers unknown. Divination in its purest form is a way to gain insight into a question or situation or seek understanding of the future. It is an ancient practice of energetic communication, serving as a bridge between our world and the spiritual realms. It is one of the best rituals to tap into our intuition and connect with your guides. Throughout history, cultures worldwide have sought knowledge, guidance and messages from their highest consciousness using various divination tools. At its core, divination isn't just about fortune telling or predicting the future, as often depicted in magical movies or literature. Instead, it's a profound spiritual tool that facilitates a deeper connection with our intuition and guides. A well structured divination practice not only provides insight but also hones your intuition. Over time, you may find yourself instinctively divining insights from everyday situations. As you embark on this enlightening journey, consider exploring spiritual tools to enhance your experience.

Spend a fun evening practicing your intuitive skills and exercising your third eye! No prior experience necessary.

Join us as we celebrate and welcome the light coming back to us and within us during the Spring Equinox! 
The spring equinox is an astronomical event that occurs when the Earth's axis and it's orbit align in such a way that both hemispheres receive an equal amount of sunlight, marking the start of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and autumn in the Southern Hemisphere. The equinox symbolizes a moment of balance and renewal, where day and night are approximately equal in length. This magical event has been celebrated as a time of rebirth, fertility, and new beginnings, observed through various festivals and rituals around the world that reflect the awakening of nature and the promise of warmer days ahead.
We will be doing a meditation to create new, positive, fresh seeds of intention in alignment with our soul's purpose~ our dharma! Next we will do a planting ceremony to physically plant our intentions and sprinkle crystals on them to add the magic!! Then we will seal those intentions in with a relaxing sound healing!! This is a powerful ceremony that brings in new energy into your life!

The new year is the perfect time to create a new powerful altar!
An altar is a physical representation of a spiritual intention. An altar is a sacred space, a spiritual focal point and a reflection of your magical self! 
Simply put, an altar is a set of objects placed in a purposeful way, and in a purposeful place, that have spiritual significance to you, or that represent an element, archetype or energy whose influence you would like to have present in your spiritual practice. It is a specific area within a space that is used as a focus for ritual, ceremony, honoring, offering, and for numerous spiritual and personal reasons. An altar is intentional space in your home and work space. It can be a physical reminder to practice mindfulness, honor your spiritual growth, and connect to yourself and your intentions.
