This special workshop combines the grounding ritual of a Kava with the healing vibrations of a Sound Journey led by Richie Parella.

Sound has been used for all time as a way to uplift and heal. Every chakra and even organ resonates at a certain frequency and when we play the different tones, it invites the energy centers to come back to balance and release any energy that is keeping it from working at its peak performance.

In this experience, Richie will utilize many different sources of sound to invite participants on a journey of self, leaving them more grounded, while invoking a deep sense of aliveness, through activations on all dimensions.

We'll start out by leading through some gentle movements, opening the body up and moving through any tension held in the physical body. From here Richie will lead participants through a yoga nidra (deep relaxation technique) leaving them in a deeply relaxed state where the body is naturally able to receive healing. Following this participants will be taken on a journey of sound using anything from Shamanic drums and rattles,Sound bowls, to medicine songs of the world.

After the sound healing participants will have a tarot card set aside for them, and we will sit and integrate our experience together through sharing what arose during the experience.

Why Combine Kava and Sound?
Both kava and sound healing work synergistically to ease the nervous system, enhance mindfulness, and deepen introspection. Together, they create a powerful container for relaxation and self-introspection.

What is Kava?
Kava, or Piper methysticum, is a plant native to the South Pacific, traditionally used in ceremonies to foster relaxation, connection, and spiritual grounding. For centuries, it has been honored by Pacific Island cultures as a drink that brings people together in community and harmony. The kava elixir promotes a calm state of mind, making it the perfect complement to a sound journey.

What to Expect:
Kava Ceremony: We will begin with a sacred kava ritual, honoring its traditional roots and its ability to open the heart and relax the mind. Together, we’ll sip the soothing drink in community, set intentions, and create a collective container for healing.

Sound Journey: Richie Parella will guide you through an immersive soundscape using instruments such as native flutes, guitar, handpan, gongs, and other resonant tools. Let the vibrations wash over you, quieting the mind and awakening deeper states of peace and presence.
