Astara will share heart wisdom from How the Stars Tell Time so you can drop into your center prior to the sonic journey. Join us for an incredible evening of intentional sound at Milkweed Event Space in Lincoln. We invite you into deeper states of being to support your own healing\, creative genius\, and soul evolution. \nSound Alchemy is souladelic. Not only entheogens or psychadelics provide gateways into insight\, creativity\, and new states of consciousness — our sound brings you there! Using vibrational medicine\, we invite you to new states of being by accessing more states of the brain and body than you typically utilize. \nSaturday December 3rd\, 2022 from 2-4pm at the Milkweed Event Space in Linclon\, NE.\nCheck in time 1:45pm. Event start time 2:00pm.\nPurchase tickets ($45 Adv/$50 door): Advance Registration encouraged\, we typically sell out! \nThe goal of all energy medicine healing modalities\, including sound\, is not to directly heal the body — for only the body can heal the body — but to cultivate the conditions within which your body can heal itself. It’s about bringing the entire mind\, body\, and soul together in balance. And balance is better described as harmony. \n“Sound healing” is better described 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. Our intentional sound is a channeled energy transmission\, lifting you in expanded resonance\, integrating lost soul parts\, and revealing the magnificence of your healing capacity. Take some much needed time to TRULY drop in and restore (re-star) yourself. Your body will thank you. Your entire energy field will glow again! \nListen to a sample of Sound Alchemy. Read more about Sound Alchemy. \nAstara will be available to sign books after you journey through the sonic stargate. Read more about Astara’s first book How the Stars Tell Time. \nDress comfortably. Bring your favorite yoga mat/blanket/bolster/pillow to make a comfortable nest. We will have options of chairs for those who need them. If you have an Illuminating Hearts mindfold/eyemask\, please bring it. If not\, we provide you a loaner. (they are also for sale at our events) As an event for deep relaxation and meditation\, children aged 12 and up may attend to maintain this atmosphere. \nThrough deep listening you align vibrationally or entrain with our sound. Sound Alchemy has the potential to invite one or more of the following benefits: \n\nActivate your capacity to heal at a cellular level\, by engaging the parasympathetic nervous system where healing occurs. This facilitates deep physical relaxation and mental clarity at the same time.\nSound creates infrared light\, which powers the structured water-building mechanism in cells\, which in turn powers our biology run by life-giving electricity.\nSynchronize the two hemispheres of the head brain creating mindful coherence.\nRestore systemic coherence between the gut brain\, the heart brain\, and the head brain allowing the body to communicate and create a natural environment for restoration and boost your immune system.\nActivate the alpha and theta states of the brain\, as well as the gamma state — helping you increase well-being\, access visualizations while awake\, participate in a wider perception of reality\, invite incredible focus\, experience better self-regulation\, enjoy a richer sensory experience.\nTravel multi-dimensionally through the quantum field beyond time to inspire visions\, creativity\, and retrieve lost parts of you across space and time to become more wholly YOU.\nReceive messages from your Higher Self\, guides\, or ancestors.\nLeave fear behind and engage your creative thinking and problem solving at a higher level of trust\, faith\, and connection to discover your superpowers.\nLearn breathing and toning techniques to come home to your body — daily practices you can take home to allow your power and life force to flow.\nReduce pain\, promote euphoria\, and stimulate the release of endorphins.\nBuild vagal nerve tone for well-being.\nRelieve stress and promote reduction in anxiety.\nIncrease Heart Rate Variability for longevity and vitality.\nExperience attunement with the stars\, the earth\, your natural rhythms\, your infinite truth. Enter a frequency of trust to vibrate with the universe in the state that it is already in\, allowing miracles.\nAnd so much more!\n\nWhat our friends say: \n“I just got to experience Illuminating Hearts for the first time tonight. It was an incredible journey\, via sound\, through the many places my mind was able to take me. Absolutely wonderful experience. A universal vacation through mind\, body\, and spirit. I look forward to more. Thank you!” —Brain Wetjen\, Omaha\, Nebraska \n“I had my first experience with Illuminating Hearts at a Sound Alchemy event last night. It was incredible!

Abundant love and gratitude!” —Carol Radke\, Omaha\, Nebraska \n“Illuminating Hearts are pure magic. Never before have I felt vibration in every cell of my body\, creating a thrumming that transformed time and space. My whole body became rivers of sound.

Read more about Astara’s first book How the Stars Tell Time. \nAlthough the common term “sound healing” is often used to describe the work we do\, we call it Sound Alchemy.

(they are also for sale at our events) As an event for deep relaxation and meditation\, children aged 12 and up may attend to maintain this atmosphere. \nThrough deep listening you align vibrationally with our sound. This is called entrainment. With your commitment and full participation\, our Sound Alchemy has the potential to invite one or more of the following benefits: \n\nEngage the parasympathetic nervous system where healing occurs. Facilitate deep physical relaxation and mental clarity at the same time.\nSynchronize the two hemispheres of the head brain creating mindful coherence.\nRestore systemic coherence between the gut brain\, the heart brain\, and the head brain allowing the body to communicate and create a natural environment for restoration and boost your immune system.\nActivate the alpha and theta states of the brain\, as well as the gamma state — helping you increase well-being\, access visualizations while awake\, participate in a wider perception of reality\, invite incredible focus\, experience better self-regulation\, enjoy a richer sensory experience.\nTravel multi-dimensionally through the quantum field beyond time to inspire visions\, creativity\, and retrieve lost parts of you across space and time to become more wholly YOU.\nReceive messages from your Higher Self\, guides\, or ancestors.\nLeave fear behind and engage your creative thinking and problem solving at a higher level of trust\, faith\, and connection to discover your superpowers.\nLearn breathing and toning techniques to come home to your body — daily practices you can take home to allow your power and life force to flow.\nReduce pain\, promote euphoria\, and stimulate the release of endorphins.\nBuild vagal nerve tone for well-being.\nRelieve stress and promote reduction in anxiety.\nIncrease Heart Rate Variability for longevity and vitality.\nExperience attunement with the stars\, the earth\, your natural rhythms\, your infinite truth.

Watch the replay of part 1 sharing energy fundamentals that are easy to practice day to day. \n \nMy name is Astara Raven and I am a coach to the stars and soul guide\, a writer and sound healer\, psychic and medium\, dancer and so much more. As a renaissance human and systems thinker\, I first had a wonderful career as an architect and sustainable leader\, and then I realized I wasn’t living out the fullest potential of my soul. What seemed like a left turn to my family\, friends\, and colleagues\, was the best unplanned spontaneous leap 9 years ago when I moved from California to Nebraska to follow what I thought was my corporate success but turned out to be the doorway to my soul destiny in the heartland. I met my business partner (and eventual husband) a year later and left corporate architecture 3 years later and became a full time soul coach and healer. \nComing out of the spiritual closet sounds thrilling\, and for those who’ve experienced it know that it’s at once satisfying and terrifying. Basically\, I risked everything. I learned that every risk isn’t really a risk\, when it comes from your heart and soul knowing. From my poem Leap I say\, “If we allow it\, what seems like a dangerous risk to the mind\, is a daring relief to our heart.” \nStill\, the journey can be a wild ride! Full of pitfalls (speed bumps slowing me down for good reason)\, seeming failures (necessary learning)\, tormentors (important mentors disguised as tor-mentors)\, and daunting shadows (aspects of me I didn’t like\, avoided\, or suppressed that held my superpowers). \nWe teach what we need most. As an old soul learning to step into my true self\, I needed as many mystical tools as I could find and all the shadow work that came with each tool. Now I lovingly share the tools and the process with my clients. I coach others to find their true soul path\, guiding them as they say yes to the deepest healing of lifetimes along the way. \nSet up a free Alchemy Discovery Call with me to learn more.

It’s hard to believe I’ve enjoyed yoga movement for so long and haven’t taken the time to connect it all together.” – Sarah \n“Atomically felt the tightness and heaviness in the belly. I squeezed that to another 75 % added breath to it and the friction there fell away fast. I loved it. I came back to these teachings at the right time as I am feeling energy shifts. I can feel myself ground into my feet and my energy open up and clear. It’s very needed right now.” – Danielle \n[av_image src=’https://astararaven.love/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/18099981-Edit-1500_430-1.jpg’ attachment=’6273′ attachment_size=’full’ copyright=” caption=” styling=” align=’center’ font_size=” overlay_opacity=’0.4′ overlay_color=’#000000′ overlay_text_color=’#ffffff’ animation=’no-animation’ hover=” appearance=” link=” target=” title_attr=” alt_attr=” id=” custom_class=” av_element_hidden_in_editor=’0′ av_uid=” admin_preview_bg=”][/av_image] \nAstara (she/her/hers) is co-founder of the company Illuminating Hearts and has dedicated her life in service to soul evolution\, nature intelligence\, and the wisdom of the heart.

Our multidimensional ambient meditation music dissolves the noise inside you that is not you\, allowing more flow and ease in your system. Our intentional sound is a channeled energy transmission\, lifting you in expanded resonance. \nWell\, if you can believe it\, it has been a YEAR since we’ve had an official Illuminating Hearts event! Although we can’t meet in the ideal warmth of live\, in-person and in a room together\, we know this will be a beautiful online GLOBAL healing event. It is a combination of live and recorded so you get the highest sound quality possible. The gongs are savvy instruments\, and it takes savvy mics and recording to share the fullest frequency remotely. And we have that technology! So\, this Valentine’s weekend\, join Astara and Orion\, Life Dimensions by Ilona\, and a beautiful community from around the world to take some much needed time to TRULY drop in and restore (re-star) yourself.

We are architects of resonance and your body’s intelligence is the true healer. Our vibrational medicine acts as an attunement\, bringing you into accord or sympathetic relationship with the natural frequencies you are hardwired for and helping you reconnect to your bio-intelligence. Our resonance time machine opens you to the multidimensional nature you are\, allowing you to access the quantum field in a clearer way. Retrieve parts of your soul lost across time and space. In such a spacious state you can communicate with your higher self\, spirit guides\, and even dearly departed friends and family. \nOur sonic architecture\, the “cathedral of sound\,” pulls from over 60 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. We capture live acoustic sound so there is less digital compression and the sound comes to you in fuller frequency. \nThe soul knows that the only way out is in. When you go in enough\, and journey through inner space more often\, you meet the primary\, innermost essence. Inside your YOUniverse you are met with the benevolent generosity of love — the awareness that everything\, including you\, is divine. Explore inner space and meet your inner alchemist with the support of our intentional sound. Our sound changes your frequency of thought and alters the harmonics of your body. Heal from the inside out. We sing your soul into full embodiment at a higher consciousness. Your body and soul naturally guides you into a new state of awareness and being. \nThis is Alchemy. Your heart knows the way. \nLearn more about Sound Alchemy and Soul Alchemy. Enjoy more of our sound and soulful content — support us at our Patreon Retreat Center.

Astara and Orion stream online a beautiful Sound Alchemy recording where the delicious sounds of our instruments pour into you generating a vibrational field upgrade and heart opening. This Sound Alchemy online event is a song of celebration inspired by Ilona Holland’s (owner and founder of Life Dimensions by Ilona) birthday and personal new year. Because her birthday falls between both the Gregorian Calendar and Chinese new year\, it is a wonderful time to tap into the personal and collective new year for each person. When we “level up” in the new year (whether personal or global new year) we can alchemize the year before and honor the newness we are emerging into. \n[av_image src=’https://astararaven.love/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/18099690-1500_630.jpg’ attachment=’7903′ attachment_size=’full’ copyright=” caption=” styling=” align=’center’ font_size=” overlay_opacity=’0.4′ overlay_color=’#000000′ overlay_text_color=’#ffffff’ animation=’no-animation’ hover=” appearance=” link=” target=” title_attr=” alt_attr=” lazy_loading=’disabled’ id=” custom_class=” av_element_hidden_in_editor=’0′ av_uid=” admin_preview_bg=”][/av_image] \nUnwind into Love \nWhen we are stressed\, overwhelmed and afraid for extended periods of time we can weaken our system and ultimately lead to the breakdown of our immunity and our ability to heal. And this past year has given us more stress and overwhelm than usual\, so we all need to unwind a bit. We are multidimensional and multi-layered beings\, and so it is best to unwind at multiple levels. Our bodies and energy field hold the score of our life (and lifetimes). Trauma gets recorded in our fascia\, our bones\, our very DNA\, and our electromagnetic toroidal field — layer upon layer of experiences waiting to be acknowledged\, learned and unwound. Our healing is not about fixing anything\, it is about lifting up layers and revealing the truth at the core. When we slow down and breathe deeply we welcome spaciousness to unwind it all\, restore flow with the source energy we are made of\, and discover ourselves anew. \n[av_image src=’https://astararaven.love/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Love-Hands-700_500-700×430.png’ attachment=’5640′ attachment_size=’featured’ copyright=” caption=” styling=” align=’center’ font_size=” overlay_opacity=’0.4′ overlay_color=’#000000′ overlay_text_color=’#ffffff’ animation=’no-animation’ hover=” appearance=” link=” target=” title_attr=” alt_attr=” lazy_loading=’disabled’ id=” custom_class=” av_element_hidden_in_editor=’0′ av_uid=” admin_preview_bg=”][/av_image] \nConnect with Loving Community \nIn this unusual time on our planet\, we are all missing live gatherings and connection with others. We are hardwired to belong — the ability to see faces and hear voices is good for our nervous system — mind and body. Also\, when many gather they amplify the energy of an event or intention. So\, enjoy the multiple benefits of connecting with a loving community around the world on our Zoom video call! Not only you will connect with Astara\, Orion\, and Ilona\, you will be a part of amplifying the power of celebration\, healing\, and belonging. \nThe word Universe translates as “uni—verse” or “one song.” When we create coherence through resonance\, we are singing the one song of life all together (again). Feel the beautiful energy of the gathered community all sharing in the same song. \n[av_image src=’https://astararaven.love/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/18090099-1500_630.jpg’ attachment=’6117′ attachment_size=’full’ copyright=” caption=” styling=” align=’center’ font_size=” overlay_opacity=’0.4′ overlay_color=’#000000′ overlay_text_color=’#ffffff’ animation=’no-animation’ hover=” appearance=” link=” target=” title_attr=” alt_attr=” lazy_loading=’disabled’ id=” custom_class=” av_element_hidden_in_editor=’0′ av_uid=” admin_preview_bg=”][/av_image] \nTimeline: \n\nBefore streaming the Sound Alchemy recording Astara and Orion will discuss why sound healing and soul alchemy is so beneficial. We teach breath and toning techniques to prepare you to be receptive to the healing gifts of intentional sound.\nWe stream the Sound Alchemy recording for 30 minutes.\nAfter\, we will have time for the community to share about their journey inside the sound and ask questions about their experience\, instrumentation\, and anything else that arises.\n\n[av_video src=’https://vimeo.com/419783721′ mobile_image=” attachment=” attachment_size=” format=’16-9′ width=’16’ height=’9′ conditional_play=” id=” custom_class=” av_uid=”] \nListening Recommendations \nWhile enjoying the Sound Alchemy recording\, we highly recommend the following: \n\nUse headphones or earbuds. To get the most out of your listening journey\, use over the ear headphones or quality earbuds.\nSit or lie down. We recommend you listen to this Sound Alchemy medicine while resting. It is best to listen to this soul song while sitting\, or even better\, lying down. Do not listen to this while driving or using heavy machinery.\nListen at least once with your eyes closed. This will help you turn off your mind to drop in deeper into the sound and receive the energy transmission fully. Closing your eyes stimulates melatonin (even during the day) and lowers cortisol\, helping calm your overstimulated adrenals. A moment of darkness allows you to receive the healing benefits while inviting more reflection and inner space exploration.\n\n[av_image src=’https://astararaven.love/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/18090128-1500_430.jpg’ attachment=’6315′ attachment_size=’full’ copyright=” caption=” styling=” align=’center’ font_size=” overlay_opacity=’0.4′ overlay_color=’#000000′ overlay_text_color=’#ffffff’ animation=’no-animation’ hover=” appearance=” link=” target=” title_attr=” alt_attr=” lazy_loading=’disabled’ id=” custom_class=” av_element_hidden_in_editor=’0′ av_uid=” admin_preview_bg=”][/av_image] \nBenefits of Sound Alchemy: \nThrough listening you align vibrationally with our sound. This is called entrainment. This allows you to: \n\nRelieve stress and promote a lasting and substantial reduction in anxiety.\nActivate the alpha and theta states of the brain\, and the gamma state as well — this helps you recall mental images and access visualizations while awake.\nFacilitate deep physical relaxation and mental clarity at the same time.\nAccess your parasympathetic nervous system\, where healing occurs.\nSynchronize the two hemispheres of the head brain creating coherence.\nCreate coherence between the gut brain\, the heart brain\, and the head brain allowing the body to communicate and create a natural environment for restoration and wellness.\nReceive messages from your Higher Self (the expanded aspect of your soul)\, spirit guides\, and potentially deceased loved ones and loving ancestors.\nLeave fear behind and engage your creative thinking and problem solving at a higher level of trust\, faith\, and connection.\nReduce pain\, promote euphoria and stimulate the release of endorphins.\n\nTurn inward and reconnect to the magnificence of your body and soul. Let our channeled energy transmission help you unwind\, lift you in expanded resonance\, and stir celebration in your heart. \nShare the power of love and invite a friend or two to the alchemical celebration!! The more the merrier! \n[av_image src=’https://astararaven.love/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/18099788-1500_630.jpg’ attachment=’6101′ attachment_size=’full’ copyright=” caption=” styling=” align=’center’ font_size=” overlay_opacity=’0.4′ overlay_color=’#000000′ overlay_text_color=’#ffffff’ animation=’no-animation’ hover=” appearance=” link=” target=” title_attr=” alt_attr=” lazy_loading=’disabled’ id=” custom_class=” av_element_hidden_in_editor=’0′ av_uid=” admin_preview_bg=”][/av_image] \nFrequently Asked Questions: \nWhere is the Zoom link to the online event? \nOnce you register at Eventbrite\, you will have access to the Zoom link to use to access the event. \nWhen does the event start?

Experience the magic of the gong as you explore the art of release and rebirth. Let the gongs dissolve the noise inside you that is not you. Enjoy an energetic spring cleaning of your heart and mind! \nWe start our time out together in simple instruction for this guided meditation\, inspired by a Buddhist wisdom practice to meditate on the nature of death while very much alive. As we invite the right inner conditions through meditation and personal awareness\, we surrender to the impermanence of life\, bringing balance and inner peace. Inside this awareness practice\, we access our eternal nature and rebirth ourselves to live more vitally in the now. We lead the group through a gong immersion experience to support you while enjoy this spectacular guided Meditation led by Jillian Schrack. Orion\, Astara and Frank will each play a singular gong placed at the front\, back\, and side of the room to encompass you in layers of organic resonant gong surround sound.  Appropriate for all levels. Bring a friend! \n“Birth and death are not two different states\, but they are different aspects of the same state.” – Gandhi\n \nRegistration* $30. Space is limited.

As an event for meditation\, children aged 12 and up may attend to maintain this atmosphere. We will provide loaner Mindfold eye-masks for those who prefer to cover their eyes during meditation. \n\nDrop the pebble of the mind into the pond of the heart.\n \n\nLearn more about Gong Meditation. \nHere are just a few benefits of Gong Meditation:\n Mindfulness: Experience the support the gong provides to drop more deeply into your meditation practice\, cultivating mindfulness. Discover a deeper way of listening to your own body and the world around you. \n Tune Up: The gong tunes you up with the earth\, your natural rhythms\, and those around you. The protective aspects of the personality or mind (ego) quiet as you reconnect to the harmonic resonance all around you. \n Coherence: The gong helps you reconnect your three minds\, your gut\, your heart and your head. This coherence allows the head-brain to connect better to your heart intelligence and wisdom. \n Bio-intelligence: The overtones and universal resonance of the gong builds vagal nerve tone\, engages the parasympathetic nervous system for wholing your body and soul\, and helps increase Heart Rate Variability for longevity and vitality. \n Brain Superpowers: Access gamma brain waves which in turn accesses all brain wave states and increases well-being\, better perception of reality\, incredible focus\, better self-control and richer sensory experience. \n Connection: Mindfulness begins within you and transcendence unfolds in community. \n And much more! \nWhat our friends say:\n“I just got to experience Illuminating Hearts for the first time tonight. It was an incredible journey\, via sound\, through the many places my mind was able to take me. Absolutely wonderful experience. A universal vacation through mind\, body\, and spirit. I look forward to more. Thank you!” —Brain Wetjen\, Omaha\, Nebraska \n“Illuminating Hearts are pure magic.

Discover the beauty and empowerment at the intersection of primordial movement\, breath\, and organic sound. Move in a revolutionary way. Astara reveals how the gifts of continuum movement\, the Energy Codes\, and sound all come together to give you the most powerful energy tools you will ever work with. Liberate your true nature\, which is vibration in flowing motion. \nWater covers about seventy-one percent of the Earth’s surface. It pervades the sky as water vapor. Your cells are two-thirds water by volume. Amazingly\, the water molecule is so small that 99% of the molecules in your body are water. The same goes for all of life. Everything is made of water. You ARE water. \nWhen you look at life at all scales\, everything flows in a spiral. From the dynamic quantum torque of electrons inside of us\, to the fluid in our spine\, organs and fascia\, to the swirl of a storm system\, to the expanding spiral of stars in our galaxy\, life is an elegant constellation of waves and rhythms. \nSound is a primordial force that created (and is creating) the universe. Everything is made of sound. Sound moves at a much faster speed in the water than in air\, five times faster. So imagine that if you are mostly water\, your body is an amazing conductor of sound and electricity. Our body is like a battery\, and our health reflects how hydrated we are so we run energy better. Our health also reflects how fluidly we move\, or not. How we move and how we make sound shapes our whole world. \nMove authentically. Build capacity to embrace more comprehensive energies. Feel. Sense. Drop below the story of the mind. Follow your heart. The Earth needs you. \nSpace is limited. Preregistration encouraged. Ages 12 and up.\nCheck in time 1:45pm. Event start time 2:00pm.\nAdvanced Registration required $88\n \n[av_button label=’Reserve Your Spot’ link=’manually\,https://www.eventbrite.com/e/fluid-body-fluid-sound-tickets-96574261215′ link_target=’_blank’ size=’large’ position=’left’ label_display=” title_attr=” icon_select=’no’ icon=’ue800′ font=’entypo-fontello’ color=’theme-color’ custom_bg=’#444444′ custom_font=’#ffffff’ av_uid=” id=” custom_class=” admin_preview_bg=”] \nIn this delightful playshop\, you will:\n Hydrate with 3rd-i Water\, a structured alkalizing water made by a local business.\n Build the circuits to flow with the pure\, creative Universal Wisdom of which you are made.\n Expand your senses and create a spacious sense of well-being\, freedom\, and vitality.\n Revitalize bones\, joints\, and skeletal health.\n Awaken creativity\, innovation and play.\n Facilitate trust in one’s inherent body wisdom.\n Explore movement\, toning\, and breath techniques to embody gracefully.\n Experience Peace with yourself\, harmony with others\, and relaxation in life.\n Release\, relax\, and realign\, much like receiving bodywork from the inside out.\n Sip and Enjoy our heart-opening Hearth tea\, an exclusive Illuminating Hearts and Artemis Teas blend.\n Joyfully engage in a nurturing group dynamic with conscious community.\n and much more! \n[av_image src=’https://astararaven.love/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/18099981-Edit-1500_430-1.jpg’ attachment=’6273′ attachment_size=’full’ align=’center’ styling=” hover=” link=” target=” caption=” font_size=” appearance=” overlay_opacity=’0.4′ overlay_color=’#000000′ overlay_text_color=’#ffffff’ copyright=” animation=’no-animation’ av_uid=” id=” custom_class=” admin_preview_bg=”][/av_image] \nAstara is an illuminator\, soul guide\, songstress\, writer\, biomusicologist\, pragmatic mystic\, architect\, dancer\, and minister with over 21 years of experience in metaphysics\, intuitive spirituality and sustainable architecture.

Which means Sutra starts its 3 year on day 33 of the year with 333 days left in the year! How cool is that? \nJoin us on 2/2/2020 at 2pm for a special pop-up event to honor Sutra Yoga & Meditation‘s 2nd anniversary! That is some seriously sweet number alignment ushering in some seriously sweet realignment for you. Celebrate Sutra\, the new year\, the new decade and you. Celebrate the power of two and bring a friend or two!! Astara and Orion will generate an incredible afternoon of Sound Alchemy. Let the delicious sounds of our instruments pour through you generating a vibrational field upgrade. \nOur cathedral of sound is 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. Retrieve parts of your soul lost across time and space. Explore inner space\, the most important space program.\n \nThe instruments help dissolve the noise inside you that is not you\, allowing more flow and ease in your system.\n \nSpace is limited. Preregistration encouraged.\nCheck in time 1:45pm. Event start time 2:00pm.\nAdvanced Registration $40/$45 at door (SOUL-D OUT)\n \n \nDress comfortably. Bring your favorite yoga mat/blanket/bolster/pillow to make a comfortable nest. We will provide everyone with loaner mindfold/eyemasks so you can enjoy the sound in the dark of inner space. We will have them for sale at the event if you want one to take home! As an event for deep relaxation and meditation\, children aged 12 and up may attend to maintain this atmosphere. \n\nDiscover your own inner music and in turn you will discover your inner healer\, teacher\, and guru. \n\nSound 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. \nHere are just a few benefits of Sound Alchemy:\n 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. \n 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. \n 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. \n 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. \n 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. \n 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. \n 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. \n Connection: Transformation begins within your heart and transcendence unfolds in community. \n And much more! \nWhat our friends say:\n“I just got to experience Illuminating Hearts for the first time tonight.

As a pianist and singer\, Astara channels her knowledge of the power of intentional sound to individuals and groups. \n[av_image src=’https://astararaven.love/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Orion-Wedding-1500_630.jpg’ attachment=’3576′ attachment_size=’full’ align=’center’ styling=” hover=” link=” target=” caption=” font_size=” appearance=” overlay_opacity=’0.4′ overlay_color=’#000000′ overlay_text_color=’#ffffff’ copyright=” animation=’no-animation’ av_uid=” admin_preview_bg=”][/av_image] \nOrion is a diverse\, biodynamic\, mindful\, sustainable\, organic sound farmer\, and minister\, cultivating heart-centered living. In addition to his passion for sound\, Orion is also an artist and a skilled woodworker. His wide range of experience over the past 25 years lends to his gifts as a facilitator and teacher\, innovator\, pragmatic mystic\, builder and archaeomusician. Orion is also an ordained minister through the Universal Life Church. Over many years\, the didgeridoo\, flute\, and gong have taught him to resonate with the world from the heart through breath and rhythm. His true nature and calling is being a channel for sacred sounds to sonically create space for you. Orion knows we are all plucked\, strummed\, bowed and blown into vibration and resonance by a cosmic love. When he isn’t weaving a sonic palette\, he can be found building artisan furniture from reclaimed wood or walking with Astara and their amazing “Brown Dog”. \nFAQs \nAre there minimum age requirements to enter the event? \nAs an event for meditation\, children aged 12 and up may attend to maintain this atmosphere. \nWhat can I bring into the event? \nDress comfortably.
