Our dynamic and diverse events will ignite your soul.
………………..
The air itself carries love across the millennia. When you breathe, you breathe in air that was shared by many before you, and will be shared by many after.
Astara and Orion of Illuminating Hearts join Frank Wolfe of Sutra Yoga & Meditation to bring you an incredible night of breathwork supported by Sound Alchemy. October 31st through November 2nd each year is celebrated as the time when the veils between our world and the realm of our departed loved ones gets thinner. From All Hallows Eve to All Saints Day to All Souls Day, whatever your belief or spiritual orientation, this is a magical collective time that we can connect to open our hearts and minds to what is beyond the reach of our eyes and instead see with our hearts and inner vision.
Hit “reset” as we explore the power of breath through pranayama and guided meditation. Frank will lead us through breathing exercises to clear the mind and cleanse the body, preparing for a journey inward. Meditation techniques used in this session include the use of chanting or toning combined with visualization to connect to your inner wisdom and guidance. Appropriate for all levels.
During the breakthwork led by Frank, Astara and Orion’s cathedral of sound creates sonic architecture for you to turn inward and reconnect to the magnificence of your body and soul. Our vibrational medicine acts as an attunement, bringing you into accord or sympathetic relationship with the frequency of love, peace, trust, beauty, truth and harmony within. Our resonance time machine opens you to the multi-dimensional nature you are, allowing you to access the quantum field in a clearer way.
The instruments help dissolve the noise inside you that is not you, allowing more flow and ease in your system.
Space is limited. Preregistration encouraged.
Check in time 6:45pm. Event start time 7:00pm.
Advanced Registration $40/$45 at door
Dress comfortably. Bring your favorite yoga mat/blanket/bolster/pillow to make a comfortable nest. If you have attended an Illuminating Hearts sound immersion before, please bring your mindfold/eyemask. If this is your first one, you will be provided one! As an event for deep relaxation and meditation, children aged 12 and up may attend to maintain this atmosphere.
Discover your own inner music and in turn you will discover your inner healer, teacher, and guru.
Sound Alchemy is an organic, restorative, multi-instrumental sound immersion time machine creating a supportive space for you to renew and reconnect to your bio-intelligence. Our sonic architecture, the “cathedral of sound,” pulls from over 100 instruments representing musical traditions from around the world, such as the gong, didgeridoo, flute, drum, shruti box, singing bowl, hand pan, bell, voice, and more. Organic sound means no digital compression or amplification, so the sound comes to you in full frequency.
Attunement: Tune yourself up with the stars, the earth, your natural rhythms, your infinite truth, and in turn lift those around you. Enter a frequency of trust to vibrate with the universe in the state that it is already in, allowing miracles.
Empowerment: Learn breathing and toning techniques to center and align yourself with your own fluidity. Learn new methods and daily practices you can take home to allow your power and life force to flow.
Mindfulness: Cultivate mindfulness through beneficial resonance. Quiet the protective, productive and seductive aspects of the personality or mind (ego). Reconnect to the harmony in and around you. Discover a deeper way of listening.
Coherence: Ignite your core so your True Self flows through you fully. Harmonious resonance creates coherence with your three minds: gut, heart and head. Thrive from living your heart’s vast wisdom.
Embodiment: Embody your bio-intelligence. Organic resonance builds vagal nerve tone for well-being, engages the parasympathetic nervous system for restoration, and helps increase Heart Rate Variability for longevity and vitality.
Superpowers: Discover your superpowers. Access gamma brain waves which access all brain waves, increasing well-being, better perception of reality, incredible focus, better self-control and richer sensory experience.
Time-Travel: Travel multi-dimensionally through the quantum field beyond time to inspire visions, creativity, and to heal and restore your soul. Retrieve lost parts of you across space and time and become more wholly YOU.
Connection: Transformation begins within your heart and transcendence unfolds in community.
And much more!

On that farm, Frank’s mom instilled in him compassion and kindness for the earth and all living beings. He was raised with a grounded, practical approach to life that shines through in his classes.

Frank knows people across the world are waking up to the power of meditation and mindfulness in daily well-being. Sutra exists to empower people with effective tools to navigate life in a busy modern world. Sutra is a community focused on spirituality, personal growth, and ethical living – offering classes in movement and stillness all geared toward enhancing your personal journey.
