Paired with dynamic sound and the frequency of an (optional) fungi microdose\, we will journey thro ugh inner emotional landscapes and release stuck emotions\, expanding cons ciousness and returning to the body.During this session you’ll be guided through The Elemental Rhythm Flow Experience. This breathwork experience combines movement (shaking)\, along with several rounds of guided breathin g and extended exhalations set to a cadence of music. This yin/downregulat ing activation will calm you down\, help you unwind\, and bring you to the present moment. Sound healing often leaves people feeling grounded\, bala nced\, and deeply replenished as the vibrations help restore a natural sen se of peace and flow.To learn more or register: https://square.link/u/Pc3 XT1da LAST-MODIFIED:20260914T103450Z LOCATION:SomaSpace X-SOURCE-NAME:SomaSpacePdx X-SOURCE-URL:https://somaspace.us/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
