Unmute the Soul
Saturday, November 21 | 9 :00-1:00

A year or two ago, I started realizing something about myself. I had a voice, but I had lost touch with a part of my sound. Not the voice I use to teach, explain, or stand confidently in front of a classroom. I mean the sound that comes from somewhere deeper. The raw, primal, almost warrior cry that rises from the body rather than the mind.

My students know me as someone who can speak confidently and express myself. But when it came to making sound from the heart and deep gut of knowing, without thinking, filtering, or controlling it, I found myself stuck.

And I’ve come to understand there are reasons for that.

Breath and toning were introduced to me more than a decade ago, but lately, I’ve been exploring them in a much deeper way. I’ve intentionally put myself in spaces where toning was invited, and even then, I struggled to let go. Then, through my exploration of sound on Orcas Island, something began to crack open. I discovered that making sound could reach places inside me that words couldn’t touch.

It was personal. It was powerful. And it reminded me that sometimes the body has something to express that the mind cannot explain.

I’m deeply grateful to the people and spaces that have helped me explore this, and now I feel called to bring that experience into Screaming Octopus.

Unmute the Soul will weave together toning, sound, breathwork, energy release, and practices that invite a comfortable trance state. Drawing on my training in transcendental breathwork, circular breath, and other breath practices, we’ll create space to explore what happens when we stop controlling the sound and allow the body to lead.

This isn’t about singing. It isn’t about performance or making a beautiful sound. It’s about curiosity, vibration, breath, and giving yourself permission to explore the sounds that have been held back, silenced, or tucked away.

Sometimes we don’t realize how tightly we’ve been holding ourselves until something finally loosens.

I’m offering Unmute the Soul as both a group circle and a private experience, creating space for you to explore in the way that feels right for you.

Soul Soak
Wednesday, November 4, 2026
6:00 PM 8:30 PM

Life rarely gives us permission to pause. We move from one responsibility to the next, living from our heads while our bodies quietly carry the weight of everything we've experienced. Stress accumulates. Muscles tighten. Breath becomes shallow. The nervous system stays on high alert until "busy" begins to feel normal.

Soul Soak is an invitation to interrupt that pattern.

This is a deeply restorative somatic meditation designed to help your body remember what safety, softness, and stillness feel like. Through guided awareness, intentional breathing, therapeutic sound, and spacious silence, we slow everything down. Rather than chasing another breakthrough, we practice something many of us have forgotten—the art of simply being.

As your body begins to settle, your nervous system has an opportunity to shift out of survival mode and into restoration. In those moments of quiet, your mind becomes less noisy, your breath becomes fuller, and your body starts communicating in a language that words often cannot reach.

Our culture celebrates the hustle. It glorifies pushing harder, grinding longer, and wearing exhaustion like a badge of honor. But here's the thing... even heavy metal bands have ballads. They know there is power in slowing the tempo. The quiet songs often become the ones that move us the deepest.

Soul Soak is that ballad.

It isn't about fixing yourself. It isn't about becoming someone new. It's about creating enough space to hear the parts of yourself that have been drowned out by the noise.

This experience blends somatic awareness, meditation, breath, and immersive sound to create a space where your entire system can exhale. Healing doesn't always arrive through intensity. Sometimes it arrives through stillness. Through pausing. Through listening. Through allowing your body to remember what it already knows.

Come as you are. Give yourself permission to be exactly where you are in your process, without judgment or expectation. From that place, healing has room to unfold. This isn't about forcing change, rushing the journey, or expecting all the answers—it's about allowing the process to meet you where you are.

Leave feeling a little lighter, a little quieter, and a little more at home inside yourself.

Because sometimes the most powerful medicine isn't doing more—it's giving your soul enough time to soak.

FOUR OF SWORDS | The Art of Resting Without Guilt ✨

Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is absolutely nothing.

The Four of Swords is your reminder that rest is not weakness, stepping back is not giving up, and silence is not stagnation. Sometimes your mind, body, and spirit need a damn minute to catch up with everything you’ve been moving through.

This card speaks to retreating from the noise, creating space to breathe, and giving yourself permission to pause. Not because you’re avoiding life, but because you’re preparing to meet it again with more clarity, intention, and grounded energy.

Maybe you’ve been carrying too much. Maybe you’ve been processing, healing, navigating change, or trying to figure out your next move. Maybe you’ve been so busy doing the work that you’ve forgotten to simply be.

The Four of Swords invites you to protect your peace, establish boundaries, and stop treating rest like something you have to earn. You don't need to have every answer today. You don't need to solve every problem before your head hits the pillow.

Sometimes clarity comes when you stop chasing it.

So take the pause. Step away from the noise. Let your nervous system exhale. Give yourself room to integrate what you've been learning and becoming.

You are not falling behind. You are making space for what comes next. 🖤

And here's your question to sit with: Where in your life are you being called to stop pushing and start listening?

Ready to shake things up, dive a little deeper, and then let it all settle?

October 29th brings The Samhain Gong Show, where we go inward with guided meditation, self-exploration, and a little personal unraveling. Think less lying around listening to pretty sounds and more getting curious about what’s going on beneath the surface. 👀

Then, on November 4th, Soul Soak takes the stage! This is your space to regulate, integrate, and let everything you stirred up during the Gong Show find its place. Because sometimes you need to shake things loose, and sometimes you need to let the dust settle.

One week to explore. One week to integrate. A little inner work, a little sound, and a whole lot of you.

Come curious. Leave a little more connected.

Wow. Crone Moon was absolutely marvelous. 🖤

Ten women came together to talk connection, community, and the stuff we’re not always given space to say out loud: hormone replacement, relationships, doctors, resources, and finding answers.

The wisdom in that room? Incredible. I’m so grateful for every woman who showed up ready to share, listen, and get curious.

I’ve been doing this work for five years, helping women move in a positive direction alongside my clients and friends. This time, I left the empty chairs in place when women canceled. Normally, I remove them because empty space.... But this time, I left them there as a reminder: we’re making space for the women who aren’t here yet, the women who are struggling and just accepting this change of life as fate.

The women searching. Struggling. Questioning what they’ve been told. Wondering what else they’re allowed to ask for.

Because this circle isn’t just about what happens in the room. It’s about what happens after we leave.

One woman shares a resource. Another asks a better question within the group or at her next doctor’s appointment. Someone starts talking openly about her experience and helps another woman find her way.

We have incredible resources right here in our valley, and we’re building a list. Sometimes, you just need to know where to look, who to ask, and that you have options.

Imagine these conversations spreading beyond the circle. Women sharing what they’ve learned, advocating for themselves, and helping each other do the same.

That’s community. That’s empowerment. And truly, that’s powerful.

So we’re doing it again.

If there’s enough interest, our next Crone Moon gathering will be November 10 at 6 PM.

If you’re curious, questioning, navigating the rivers of change, or just craving a room full of mature women willing to talk about the real stuff, come join us.

Let’s keep making space for the women who need it.

Screaming Octopus | East Wenatchee

Connection, Community & Curiosity

Come gather, share some 🦋 tea, make some art, and get curious about the invisible threads that connect us.

We’ll slow down, connect, and explore through neurographic art, following the lines wherever they lead. Words, memories, feelings, insights, weird little flashes of knowing… what ever emerges.

We’ll close with a guided collective meditation, curated music, and space to settle into the collective energy of the group. No need to have all the answers. Just come curious and see what shows up when we slow down enough to listen.

Come as you are. Bring your curiosity. Bring your weird. Leave a little more connected.

Let’s gather.
