Join Alexandra Grimm + Kylie Burfeind, RN of Taochemy in a transformative sound healing + acupuncture collaboration. Kylie uses Taochemy’s evidence based five points acupuncture technique to reset your nervous system, promote detox, and enhance your awareness to the healing vibrations provided by instruments used in sound healing. The combination of acupuncture + sound healing creates a synchronization of brain waves that puts the body into a state of relaxation and healing. Sterile needles will be inserted in your ears, top of the head and third eye (between eyebrows) while sound healing instruments are played.

Cost $85

A fun-filled afternoon of 2 of our favorite things: yoga and little furry babies!

Join Lisa for this special event to help support the local cat rescue group, Dallas Cat Lady.

There will be lots of little *adoptable* kittens and adolescent cats frolicking around the studio. Bringing fostered cats into a playful environment helps to socialize them and allows them to show their true personalities. We will incorporate play and cuddles into an easy-going, joy-filled gentle class.

Dallas Cat Lady's mission to reduce the homeless cat population through fostering, adoptions and trap-neuter-release in the Dallas area. They work with local shelters in fostering kittens and cats that need a little extra time to find the right home. All donations from this event will go to support their efforts.

Whether you’re looking to simply learn about sound healing, how to incorporate it into your offerings, or if you have the ambition to begin hosting your own sound baths, join us for this weekend intensive with Danielle Goldfarb to learn about and play various instruments used in a sound bath, while immersing in a transformative sound healing experience.

You'll receive several hours of hands-on experience with several sound healing instruments including multiple Paiste planetary tuned gongs and 432 hertz singing bowls, different kinds of chimes and other high vibrational instruments. These trainings are set up to be a deeply healing experience to help activate the healer within.

  • Becoming a powerful sound healer is so much more than just learning how to play the crystal bowls and gong. It’s also learning to:
  • Deeply listen to and track your own body
  • Tune into and track the room
  • Sit and relish in the discomfort and peace of empty space
  • Take up a lot of space, to be seen and heard
  • Help people feel profoundly better
  • Help yourself heal through sound

You’ll also learn:

  • How to hold a space for individuals, groups and facilitate your own sound bath
  • How to master the crystal bowls and align yourself with each frequency
  • Techniques and application of striking multiple Planetary Tuned gongs
  • Spiritual significance of these instruments
  • How to implement mantras and intentions in sound healing
  • Science behind sound healing
  • Other sound instruments to include in your sound bath

No prior experience or instruments required.

We will have multiple instruments for you to learn from including your own set of crystal bowls that will be available for purchase at the end of training.

A certificate of completion will be given after the training.

Training Hours:
Friday, July 14  -  7-9pm
