Join us for Tidal Harmony, an immersive Salish Sea view experience where we tune into the personal tide of our own Lunar cycle, open our hearts, and allow the restorative power of sound to create harmonious vibrations within your body, mind, and spirit.
We begin with a heart-opening Mayan Cacao Ceremony, allowing you to soften, connect, and tune into the rhythms of your heart’s "inner tide." Together, we’ll explore the Moon’s powerful influence on our vibrational wellbeing and how we can harness the power of each Full Moon and New Moon cycle throughout 2025. Learning to align with the New Moon and Full Moon phases can help restore balance, cultivate intention, and flow with the natural cycles of our lives. To support your ‘Tidal Harmony’, you will receive a personalized New Moon and Full Moon insight guide based on your Sun Sign, for January and February. (Please provide your birthday upon registration.)
The journey continues with a calming introduction to restorative yoga, guiding your body into stillness and preparing your senses to fully receive the healing vibrations of a 1-hour sound bath. Allow the resonant sounds of Crystal and Tibetan singing bowls, and ocean-inspired instrument tones to wash over you—releasing tension, clearing blockages, and restoring deep inner peace.
To close this harmonious experience, we’ll watch the sun setting over the Salish Sea as we share a healing Guayusa Tea (pronounced "gwhy-you-sa"). Known for its calming and rejuvenating properties, Guayusa as a plant based medicinal tea supports mental clarity, promotes relaxation, and aids in reducing inflammation—making it the perfect way to reflect, restore, and seal your journey with gratitude.
Come align your heart and soul with the restorative rhythms of your inner tides, and leave feeling refreshed, rebalanced, and deeply connected to the harmony within.
