In this weekend immersion we will dive into spiritual healing with sacred plants and sound which is based on the cosmology of the Santo Daime tradition.

Her sound journeys create a supportive container for exploring aspects of self with non-judgment, compassion, and clarity, and gently carry one back home to their grounded center, with a new found sense of completion, alignment, wisdom, and wellbeing.
