Psychedelic Light & Sound Journey in the Forest
Delight your senses with an immersive light and sound journey in a private forest wonderland. Let the healing sound of the rushing creek and the vibrations of gongs, drums, and crystal bowls release stress and anxiety. Expand your mind with a psychedelic dance of colors and patterns induced by advanced pulsating light. Your trip begins with an initiation and intention setting by the creek. You will get comfy on your back on cushions (or sit in a zero gravity chair). Once under the light, a brief meditation and rhythmic drumming will ease you into a relaxed state. I’ll acclimate you to the light and ensure you are comfortable. Then it’s lift-off! This is a safe, closed-eye experience where each person's brain generates its own psychedelic visuals. By stimulating the visual cortex and the pineal gland, the light guides you to deep relaxation, clarity, and insight. Some experience powerful visions or communications from other realms. Sound vibrations and harmonics bring your cells into balance and restore and expand your energetic field, creating sacred geometry within your body and allowing in more energy. I monitor you the whole time and can adjust at any point. As you gently emerge, you will have the opportunity to pull an oracle card. You are welcome to sit by the creek to integrate your experience. If raining, this can be experienced indoors in my sound sanctuary.
