Non Ordinary Ottawa: Sound Healing Ceremony

It's our pleasure to announce the next event by Non-Ordinary Ottawa (NOO), our new experiential series in collaboration with the Ottawa Psychedelic Education Network.

************************************************

What is Sound Healing?
A sonic sound journey is a nourishing massage for the nervous system. We will collectively dive into some easeful meditation and breathwork practices before landing in a space for deep rest. I will use a variety of instruments as well as my voice to help promote a meditative state. A sonic sound journey is a powerful, yet subtle experience that can help surface stored emotions in the body. This deep practice takes you into alpha, delta and theta brainwaves to access the unconscious mind. Whatever emotions come forward are what you are ready to release. As you release blockages, this may help you to feel lighter, peaceful, and loving. Sound is never believed to be able to heal in and of itself. Instead, it is used with the belief that it creates a special environment that enables the body to heal.

What to expect
Participant will be welcome to arrive between 6-6:30pm, to arrive and get settled. The journey begins at 6:30 pm, as we gather in a small circle, introducing ourselves and setting our intentions for the evening. Heather will guide us through an exploration of the current energy world, sharing insights about the moon, stars, and the profound connections they hold.

Prepare to connect with your guides, spirits, and universal energies as we delve deeper into the journey. Through breathwork, we will harmonize our mind, body, and spirit, leading us to a profound state of relaxation.

Heather will take us on a guided visualization to our personal sanctuary—a safe space for deep exploration. From there, the transformation begins through the power of sound.

Heather's voice, described as ethereal and captivating, will weave a symphony of healing sounds. With her primary instrument being her voice, she will create a beautiful tapestry of sounds, including toning and humming. Additional instruments, such as crystal bowls, Tibetan bowls, gongs, drums, and more, will further enhance the journey.

This is more than just a sound healing event. It's an opportunity to explore a modality that offers profound shifts in emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. You will find yourself in a supportive community, where connections and personal growth flourish.

Hi! I’m Heather. I’m a teacher, a healer, an adventurer and all-round lover of life! I have a long standing yoga and meditation practice, including several certifications in both. Now, sound therapy has become the heartbeat of my life. I have trained with teachers in Vermont, British Columbia as well as in my home town of Ottawa. My deep love for life and the natural world (which includes us humans) guides my life, work and my offerings.
