Cherokee Medicine/Sweat Lodge Ceremony with Yona FrenchHawk

The Tsa la gi (Cherokee) People of the Blue Ridge and Smoky Mountains have always had an intimate relationship with Mother Earth. A Matriarchal society. From the beginning of time these mountains have stood as witness to the evolutionary passage of events that we humans know as “Life”. Deep within these old woods the roots of the trees and plant life carry the memories of all those that have come before upon this earth.

Candle Lit Sound Healing Bath - The Sanctuary at The Horse Shoe Farm

Give yourself the gift of healing sound. The serene song of the crystal quarts sound healing bowls and other instruments, brings tranquility to the body and mind. Out of stillness and silence arises spacious awareness. In loving presence, all things are possible. The pure frequencies of a sound healing bath allow the mind to enter the theta state: for enhanced physical restoration, mental clarity, emotional balance, and spiritual alignment. To inspire receptivity, we begin by starting with a simple guided meditation of breath and toning.
