There is a world in which fear does not run us and self-doubt is a fallacy. where we are no longer at the mercy of our addictions, and the impulse to betray ourselves or anyone has been entirely exhausted. where love is the most logical thing to do or to be and we do not question kindness as the most radical act for getting what we want.

Join this workshop on Tibetan Buddhist purification practices that have been proven for over 2,500 years to transform the most stubborn of negative habits into something entirely pure. think of that thing that seems to hold you back the most from achieving your goals, and then think of all the energy you give to it being freed up so you can focus effortlessly on what’s actually beautiful and fulfilling. if you’re one of those folks who has “tried it all” and still feels stuck, come curious and ready for your metamorphosis 🦋

Crystal alchemy bowls invite you into a realm inside yourself longing for your care and attention. A realm where you are, without a doubt, your own greatest source of inspiration and wisdom. Unravel the habit of seeking validation and satisfaction externally, as pure frequencies joined with your pure intention gently realign your internal rhythms to their most harmonious, all-knowing state -- quite literally, getting back on your own wavelength ;) No one knows how to dance with your multitudes better than You.

This is for you if you're seeking:
- trust in making [big] decisions
- trust in your [gut] feelings
- trust in your [ever-evolving] sense of self
- trust in 'not knowing' as a perfect state of knowing

Come cozy and curious. Headphones are strongly recommended for the best sensory experience.
