THIS WEEKEND

Saturday – May 27

  1-3pm in the Sanctuary “Didgeridoo Healing & Meditation” with Dirk Barkemeijer de Wit. The Didgeridoo is an ancient wind instrument and a powerful healing tool that produces frequencies and sounds unlike any other instrument on Earth. (Click here for an audio sample) Didgeridoo Sound Healing invokes positive effects on our biorhythms and sense of well being. The Didgeridoo Healing and Meditation event is a casual gathering focused on using sound and energy to help restore balance on the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels. As we balance body and mind and strengthen our own connection with divine and vital energy, any blockages and disharmony can be released on a cellular level, restoring a natural state of balance, health and abundance. If you would like to participate in a personal or planetary healing event, have a soul journey experience, or just relax and de-stress, join us! For additional information, visit www.SacredSoundsofShambala.com. • Cost: $40 suggested donation (any love offering will be accepted...all are welcome) • Registration: online or call (714) 848-8092 and leave a message. • Note: When receiving sound healing, many people prefer to lie down. The Sanctuary is carpeted, but you may wish to bring a comfortable pillow, blanket, yoga mat, etc., to lie on. Plenty of chairs are available for those who are more comfortable sitting. Feel free also to bring your own healing crystals to help and join you on your journey!
