Step through the soulful 11:11 portal with us inside our restorative sound. Reconnect with your brightest light in your core — your true north or inner compass — ready to illuminate your path. Immerse yourself in our intentional sound, breath, and toning tools — giving you access to your body’s natural healing intelligence. Enjoy a cacao heart opening tea ceremony to awaken your channel with our organic Hearth Tea. Using the power of resonance, Astara and Orion invite you into deeper states of being to heal you in every dimension of your being: mind, body, and soul.

How the Stars Tell TimeUsing the star codes from her book How the Stars Tell Time, Astara will guide you into the gate of time in your heart inside our sonic time machine — the cathedral of sound. Astara will be available to sign books after you journey through the sonic star-gate. Or you can simply add a book onto your ticket purchase and receive a signed copy when you arrive!

 

orion gongsThe heart holds the highest concentration of electromagnetic energy, the intelligence you’re made of. It’s gate opens you to the zero point beyond time, the source field, the quantum field — where you can travel beyond time, meeting up with younger and older versions of you to undo outworn conditioning and remember the future.

The goal of all energy medicine healing modalities, including sound, is to cultivate the conditions within which your body can heal itself. Sound is a vibrational language that communicates directly with our electromagnetic body, allowing us to use more of our brain and body then we normally do. We describe Sound healing” as Sound Alchemy. Resonance medicine heals AND it creates alchemy, altering dissonant states of being to harmonious ones. Alchemy is changing the fundamental relationship to yourself and the world. Sound Alchemy is a channeled energy transmission, lifting you in expanded resonance, integrating lost soul parts. Our sound brings you to new states of consciousness like entheogens, yet without difficult effects.
