About us
Behind the Lids is here to connect like minded individuals with a desire to heal and be seen in a safe, non-judgmental environment. Our mission is to offer a safe container and setting for all those who walk through the doors to discover who they are on a deeper level. Our hope is that the community will find the benefit of being honest about where they are in their own individual journeys. To feel safe enough to speak that truth, which will eliminate the illusions that exist in this world that contribute to separation consciousness. MORE INFO: www.BehindTheLids.com

The Sacred Weave: Cacao, Storytelling & Somatic Ritual
Behind the Lids Healing Collective, 1733 Monrovia Ave # L, Costa Mesa, CA, USCLICK HERE TO REGISTER FOR $55
The Sacred Weave is a community-centered ceremonial gathering designed to reconnect you with your body, your inner knowing, and one another.
We begin with ceremonial cacao, shared intentionally in honor of its ancestral roots and the practice of right relationship — with the Earth, with community, and with ourselves.
Through guided storytelling, you’ll be invited to reflect on the teachings that have supported communities for generations: presence, reciprocity, and trust in your own embodied wisdom.
From this grounded foundation, we gently transition into a somatic ritual weaving breath, intuitive movement, and subtle vocal resonance. This portion of the evening supports nervous system regulation, deeper sensation, and reconnection to the body as a source of guidance.
The gathering closes with a guided shared-experience practice designed to cultivate authentic listening, openness, and meaningful connection.
This is an invitation to slow down, return to sensation, and experience community in a grounded and intentional way.
Open to all who feel called to reconnect — within and together.

Magical Moondays with Lisa Beebe
Behind the Lids Healing Collective, 1733 Monrovia Ave # L, Costa Mesa, CA, USCLICK HERE TO REGISTER FOR $35
Join Lisa every Monday and embark on a journey of tranquility and self-discovery through guided meditation, the healing energy of a Reiki blessing accompanied by the gentle resonance of Crystal singing bowls and other soothing instruments 🎶.
We flow with the moon, so sometimes we will set intentions, sometimes we are diving into our shadows. We will focus on integration, loving our whole selves, and sometimes letting go and releasing what is holding us back.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced meditator, this class is designed for all levels. Don't forget to bring a journal or notebook to record your reflections. This is the perfect opportunity for self-care and self-love, providing a peaceful space to unwind and nurture your inner well-being. Join us and cultivate a sense of calm and balance in your life.
Lisa Beebe leads the Full Moon Ceremony on a monthly basis. She facilitates guided channeled meditations, sound healing, as well as reiki and energy work, which often includes intention setting, journaling, allowing, and releasing. Through life’s journey, Lisa is grateful to have opened up to love and life through a deeper connection with herself, the spiritual realm, and community, and she has grown and blossomed through the process of grieving the loss of her husband and father. She now leads from this vulnerable and compassionate place.
