The Gong Show: Preparations for Samhain

Gong Show Storytime is a "Come as you are". And in holding this space as always we arrive in silence and we leave in silence.... or minimal words allowing others their own experience.

You’ll be invited into a guided journey through sound and story. You may draw a card from the deck of awareness and choose your own adventure.

The sounds become part of the landscape as gongs, bowls, drums, rattles, voice, and other instruments weave their spell and guide you deeper into the story. The forest may feel familiar, mysterious, playful, challenging, or completely unexpected.

There is no right path. There is no wrong path. There is simply the path you choose.

The Gong Show is also a sacred space for mindful curious humans to expand and explore.

This is your time to relax. To unwind. To listen. To wander. To let your imagination stretch beyond the usual edges of your day.

So "Come as you are." Step into the forest. Choose your path.

Let the story unfold... who knows what moonlit adventure you may find.

Unmute the Soul group and private sessions.

This photo was taken on Orcas Island while I was there learning sound. I signed up thinking I was going to learn how to use my voice.

What I didn’t realize was that I was about to discover what my voice had been carrying.

I kept coming back to this tree. It was still growing, but look at what happened where the rope wrapped around it. The tree adapted. It found a way to keep reaching. But something was tethered there, constricting the growth and changing the way it could expand.

It made me wonder: What does the rope represent? What are we tethered to? What are we still carrying that is preventing a full release? AND Why do I keep returning to stand in front of this tree?

For me, toning became much more than making sound. Something deep started breaking open. Not in a dramatic, performative way, but in that strange place where the body knows before the mind does. Sound moved through places I didn’t realize were still holding on.

That experience became part of the inspiration for Unmute the Soul.

This is a somatic exploration of voice, breath, vibration, toning and sound. Not singing. Not performing. Not getting the notes “right.” It’s about listening to the body and discovering what happens when we stop controlling the sound and let something deeper move.

Sometimes what comes out is beautiful. Sometimes it’s raw, strange, primal, funny, emotional, or completely unexpected.

And sometimes… something finally lets go.

I’m offering Unmute the Soul as a group circle, as well as a private one-to-one experience for those who want a more intimate exploration of voice, breath, sound and what the body may be ready to release.

What are you tethered to?

And what might happen if you finally loosen the rope?

A huge shout out to Seattle Sound Temple and Julia Francis for allowing me to be curious in this space and Crack open my ability to use my vouice and do this magical work. Thank you, thank you ...thank you

Reiki-Infused Shamanic Sound Meditation

Saturday, October 17, 2026

8:00 AM 9:30 AM

Sound is the conversation you hear and feel. Reiki is the conversation that moves beneath it.

Leave the thinking mind at the door and let the sound take you on a shamanic journey through your own soul.

Drums, rattles, voice, Karuna with toning, gongs, Himalayan bowls, Reiki, and deep vibration come together in an immersive experience where something might shift, soften, release, or reveal itself.

No fixing. No forcing. No spiritual gold stars. Just lie back, listen, feel, and see where the journey takes you.

Come curious. Come open. Come ready to go a little deeper.

"I must pursue and destroy the being to whom I gave existence; then my lot on earth will be fulfilled and I may die."
— Victor Frankenstein

Hunter Moon: Paranormal Investigations of the Soul

What if the things haunting you aren’t ghosts at all… but old stories, patterns, fears, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and survival strategies that overstayed their welcome?

This Hunter Moon, we’re going ghost hunting… inside ourselves.

No holy water required. Just curiosity, courage, a little ritual, and a willingness to turn on the lights in the rooms of yourself you’ve been avoiding.

Through guided meditation, reflection, symbolism, , we’ll explore the archetypes and “monsters” that may be running the show behind the scenes.

Because maybe the goal isn’t to exorcise the darkness. Maybe it’s to understand what it came here to teach us.

Every shadow has a story. Every ghost has a message. And sometimes the scariest realization is discovering… you’ve had the lights off all along.

Have you ever heard of wishing stones?

A wishing stone is a stone with a complete ring running all the way around it. I learned about them on Orcas Island, when my next-door yurt mate gifted me one she had found while we were there together.

This morning, I was sitting with my coffee when I noticed a perfect little ring in the foam. And just like that, I was reminded of her, that stone, and her beautiful way of looking at life.

So I made a wish.

But honestly, the wish felt almost secondary to the remembering.

There is something humbling about the little ways life brings memory of people back to us. A stone. A cup of coffee. A circle in the foam. A tiny moment that says, “Hey… remember this?”

I’m grateful for the people who cross our paths and leave little pieces of their magic behind. The ones who share what they find, who see beauty in ordinary things, who remind us to slow down long enough to notice.

Thank you, Ray (Tara), for the wishing stone and for the way you shared your eyes and vison of life with the me while we were there.

This morning, I made a wish and thought of you.

And maybe that’s the real magic of a wishing stone. Not necessarily that it grants the wish, but that it reminds us to make one. To hope. To notice. To be grateful.

And sometimes, to remember the beautiful humans who helped us see the world a little differently. 🤍

I love mapping out Armoring sessions because every person is different. I have a few of these this week and it's been a beautiful organic evolution of Screaming Octopus.

The points, pressure, direction, and techniques are mapped out to fit vlients individual needs. Sometimes we soften sometimes we redirect pressure. Sometimes we know not to push at all.

And this work isn’t only about physical pressure. It can also bring emotional and mental patterns to the surface.

Through Jin Shin Do® and the Armoring experience, we can enter a deeply relaxed state where the conscious mind softens and the subconscious can begin to reveal what’s underneath:

The triggers. The patterns. The protective responses. The places where you may be holding yourself back. The things you know aren’t working, but haven’t understood why.

The body may begin to release its armoring, but the release isn’t the finish line.

This work can create awareness. It can open a door to something you may not have been able to see before.

But walking through that door is up to you.

I’m not here to give you the answers. I’m here to help create the space where you can find your own. That’s where the coaching becomes so powerful.

You get to decide what happens next:

What needs to change?
What pattern are you ready to stop repeating?
What boundary needs to be created?
What choice have you been avoiding?

The energy can shift.
The body can release.
The awareness can land.

But accountability belongs to you.

True movement forward isn’t something I can do for you. It’s something we uncover together—and then you choose what happens next.

That’s the part of this work I love most:

Not telling you who to be.

Helping you hear the part of yourself that already knows.

Armoring Experience + Expand 🖤

Within my sessions, I leave little hints of my world and the way I move through it. And I absolutely love the way the Armoring Experience + Expand session has been flowing.

This is a space to slow down. You get to relax, drink some tea, and be gently coached into bringing awareness to whatever is showing up. The patterns. The triggers. The places where you may be holding tension or feeling stuck.

From there, we begin working with Jin Shin Do®, using intentional touch and acupressure to work with emotional points, meridian tension, and the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.

I think of it as working through the armor one ring at a time.

Each ring represents a different layer of holding. Sometimes working with one ring creates movement through several others. Sometimes one ring is all that needs attention that day. And sometimes it simply gives you enough space and awareness to recognize what’s next.

There’s no forcing a release. No digging for an emotional experience just because we think something should happen.

We create the space. We listen. We work with what is actually present.

One ring at a time.

This session has become one of the places where I weave more of my own world into the work too, with coaching, tea, touch, my voice, and a little sound.

It’s bodywork, but it’s also an exploration of awareness, patterns, and the ways we sometimes armor ourselves without even realizing it.

A little more of my world woven into the work.

This session is on my scheduler.
