Holding Space for Grief: Guided Meditation, Somatic Release, & Sound Bath with Charlie Short

In honor of National Grief Awareness Day, join us for a guided EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) meditation, somatic release, and immersive sound bath created to support grief with reflection and self-compassion.
​
Whether from the loss of a loved person or animal, a relationship, your health, a home, a dream, or another life change, grief is something we all experience, yet it can feel deeply isolating. Gathering in shared space offers comfort, connection, and a gentle reminder of our shared humanity, without needing to explain or compare our experiences.
​
We’ll begin with a guided EFT meditation to honor difficult emotions without judgment, ease emotional overwhelm, and encourage grounding, followed by a somatic release practice before settling into a restorative sound bath. Crystal singing bowls, harp, hypnotic percussion, and other soothing acoustic instruments create a purposeful and peaceful sonic journey to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and honor whatever is present.
​
Whether your loss is recent or years old, this experience is offered with care, compassion, and respect for your unique journey.
​
Wear comfortable clothes and bring whatever you need to be relaxed - blanket, pillow, eye mask, etc. We provide yoga mats but you are welcome to bring your own if you prefer. Chairs and meditation cushions will also be available for those who wish to sit. No experience needed, all are welcome and treasured.
​
Charlie Short is a professional musician and Certified Sound Practitioner whose work bridges music theory, acoustic science, and intuitive guidance to compose immersive sound journeys. Each experience is intentionally crafted through harmonic relationships, rhythm, resonance, and entrainment to support nervous system regulation while meeting the unique energy of the group.

Join us for a restful and healing end of week Raven Medicine Sound Bath.

The Raven – revered across shamanic traditions as a powerful messenger between worlds, master of transformation, keeper of secrets, and harbinger of profound change – is my guide, and our guiding light for this work.
​​
Grounding shamanic drumming to awaken.
The ethereal tones from crystal singing bowls to carry us into our journey.
Gentle guided intention-setting to invite personal metamorphosis, insight, and release of what no longer serves.
​
We will gather, set our prayers and intentions, and then you can simply lie down (or sit comfortably) in a supported, sacred space while being enveloped in waves of healing sound and vibration.
​
What to expect:
Profound relaxation and nervous system reset
Emotional release, clarity, and spiritual downloads
Energetic cleansing and alignment
Vibrational lightening, and auric clearing.
​​
Let’s gather in sacred sound and allow transformation to unfold.
​
David Silvermoon is Shamanic Crystal Sound Healer, who has been practicing the healing arts for over 20 years. He recently received guidance from his primary spiritual guide, who is a Raven, to provide sound healing for the community. He is excited to bring his healing work out into the world.

In Person Workshop! Stop the Pattern: Reconnecting with Your Inner Child Through Your Inner Voice
​Elias Patras and Cameron Heath with Sound Healing by Yessenia Rauch

Many of the patterns we struggle with as adults did not begin as problems. They began as protection.
​
The perfectionist, the control freak, the overthinker, the fixer, and the people pleaser are not just habits or personality traits. They are often old survival patterns that formed when a younger part of us was trying to feel safe, loved, accepted, seen, or in control.
​
In this experiential one-day workshop, Intuitive Life Coach, Psychic Medium, Elias Patras and Inner Child Coach and Reiki Master, Cameron Heath will guide participants through a healing journey of awareness, reflection, inner child connection, intuition, Reiki, and sound healing. Together, we will explore how these patterns show up in our adult lives, how they may have affected the inner child, how they can quiet or confuse the inner voice, and how we can begin to move through them with compassion, clarity, and self-trust.
​
Attendees will be guided through reflective exercises, journaling, intuitive awareness practices, inner child connection, Reiki with Cameron Heath, and sound healing with Yesenia Rauch.
​
This workshop is not about blaming the past or fixing what is “wrong” with you. It is about understanding the parts of you that learned to protect you, listening more deeply to your inner voice, and creating a new relationship with yourself.
​
The sliding scale is offered to make this workshop more accessible. Attendees are invited to choose the amount that feels honest and supportive for them.

Many of us know little about our ancestral landscape beyond a few generations. Ancestral Roots is a guided meditation designed to help you reconnect with your lineage—its strengths, its wisdom, and the patterns it’s time to release.
​
In this meditation, you’ll explore the paternal lineage and its influence on your relationship with confidence, direction, responsibility, purpose, achievement, and personal power. Through quiet reflection and visualization, you’ll deepen your connection to the paternal ancestral stream and the gifts, lessons, and resilience it has carried through the generations.
​
No prior meditation or ceremonial experience is necessary—just a willingness to sit quietly and turn your attention inward. The session runs approximately 45–60 minutes and includes time for sharing and reflection afterward.
​
This is contemplative, reflective work rather than therapy. Because exploring family and ancestry can surface real emotion, you’re encouraged to move at your own pace. You’re always welcome to pause, rest, or step outside at any time.
​
You’ll leave with greater grounding, resilience, a stronger sense of direction, and a deeper connection to your paternal ancestral lineage.
​
Alexander Dmytruk is a shamanic practitioner, astral healer, and Qigong teacher based in Portland. Through his practice ASCEND, he facilitates ancestral healing, lineage restoration, and initiatory spiritual development. He is the author of Year’s Kaleidoscope, a living path of soulful transformation.
